Domicile concerns (Morocco)
pushbrk replied to phillyteacher's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
That you will travel back and forth fairly frequently helps. I would change your address for banking and other things to that of a family member, like an adult child or parent. Always state your residence address as the US address. You will only be visiting Morocco. -
Yes, and I don't see this memo impacting the immigrant path for that situation.

They would have had an I-130 filed for them, only if they were a qualifying alien relative of a US Citizen. This guidance is not about qualifying alien relatives.

I don't see this as having any impact on the spouse or stepchild of a US Citizen who entered legally with a K1 or K2. It's just reminding their staff of the law and that a legitimate immigrant path must be present. For an overstayer, it would seem a bona fide marital relationship with a US Citizen would still be the legitimate immigrant path available to them.

Words mean things. Ticket confirmations can be helpful to clarify an itinerary, but are not evidence of travel. Passport stamps, and boarding passes are. So are hotel and other receipts in country. Concentrate on actual evidence. It seems you have plenty but didn't provide any with the petition originally. The other place you failed can be fixed with a short statement or letter now. It's the part from page 8 number 54. Photos together are good, but they are secondary to the primary evidence of being together. A few weeks ago, I saw a photo of a friend and his girlfriend sitting in a convertible somewhere in Australia. I didn't know them well, so I asked how long they lived in Australia. The answer is she's never been there. Artificial Intelligence created the photo of them. Fooled me.

No, don't send 1,200+ pages. And text alone is not evidence. A few (no more than a dozen) screen shots of portions of chats could help, but not unless they are in English. It seems you sent next to nothing originally, and didn't do a good job on the form section that asks about your meeting. Explain it in a one page statement, then provide the primary evidence of time spent together in person.

As you already stated in your first post, "If you submit a document in any language other than English, the document must be accompanied by a full and complete English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is accurate and he or she is competent to translate from that language to English". There's nothing in there about the translator being certified by anybody or any organization. Yes, anybody fluent in both languages, also competent and willing, can certify a translation, even if they are the author of what is being translated.
-
You say your translations are from a "certified translator". They are probably fine, but it is the translator that certifies the translations. USCIS does not certify translators. I would skip the communication records in Spanish and concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person, like passport stamps or boarding passes, and hotel receipts etc.

Having paid for a ticket is not primary evidence of travel. I pay for a one-way ticket to somewhere outside the Philippines every time I enter, but I cancel that ticket within 24 hours and never use it for travel. If you don't have passport stamps, use boarding passes which ARE evidence of travel. If she's been in the USA, download her I-94 and travel history here. https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/home

I-864 tax return upload clarification
pushbrk replied to STDEV's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Select Federal Income Tax return, and I would upload a single PDF with all included. -
For a self employed person, income comes from a federal tax return. If you are currently employed, that's very different. You are either employed or you are not. It's not a matter of appearance. If you are employed, then a single normal pay stub that shows gross pay and year to date pay, is sufficient evidence of current "income". Take the gross for a full pay period times the number of those pay periods that would occur in a full year. Every two weeks is times 26, etc. Be very direct on your I-134 that you are employed and your occupation. Don't confuse any of these issues by using the term self employed. Your father's past income or business tax returns are not relevant to your current income.
-
You will not qualify as the sponsor. If your fiance is coming from Thailand or the Philippines, you will not be allowed to use a cosponsor either. You cannot state any income at all, at this point. The current income for a self employed person, comes from their latest tax return. You don't have one. Further, do not confuse business revenue with income. Income is what's left over after subtracting business expenses. Showing current business revenue will not help. Which country? Do you have a cosponsor in mind?

K-1 Visa - DS-260 Requested?
pushbrk replied to Kayush's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Correct. The DS260 is not part of the green card process after entering with a K1 visa. This letter does not request a DS 260. It requests a confirmation page. Send the one you have for the DS 160. -
I-864 tax return upload clarification
pushbrk replied to STDEV's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
A complete Federal Tax return with all schedules, W2s and 1099s is perfectly acceptable. Note that for an employed person the "Total Income" number from the tax return goes in the tax return section. Current income does not come from a tax return though. That comes from a pay stub. Gross pay for a full pay period times the number of those periods in a full year. Every two weeks is times 26. Twice a month is times 24, etc. -
USA I-130 for asylum seeker in Sweden
pushbrk replied to obsidianmjow's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Directly to your concerns, USCIS is not the problem. Where he will or won't be allowed to interview is what is critical. There's always a chance he'll be deported from Sweden to Turkey. If you are already married, what will YOU do? -
USA I-130 for asylum seeker in Sweden
pushbrk replied to obsidianmjow's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Nobody can tell you for sure whether he will be allowed to interview in Sweden. That is not a USCIS decision. Approved I-130 decisions are sent to the National Visa Center, but it's up to the Immigrant Visa unit in Sweden whether they will allow him to interview there. No, his status in Sweden does not impact either the petition approval or the visa beyond whether he will be allowed to interview in Sweden. With all that in mind, the decision to marry is a weighty one indeed. -
Issue with Pakistan Fiance Immigration
pushbrk replied to Shahofblah's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Whether the K1 will be "viable" is not really the prime issue. A K1 from Pakistan, while "viable" is not something I would recommend. Spend some time together and take the spouse visa route. Yeah, the title says Pakistani fiance but asks about Morroco. -
No.

Required vaccines
pushbrk replied to LadyGRAY2026's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
It's the UK. The record probably matches what pretty much every resident there will have received. The physician at the medical exam will know that. Relax
