    Abusing the visitor privilege for the UK is not about eyebrows. It will lose you the privilege. Apply for any visa you want. It's not a conflict, but any visa that grants resident status comes with requirements to maintain that status. That means, one of you, YOU, will lose any resident status to the UK eventually, if you get it.

    My recommendation is that you go with the original plan. She is better off waiting out the immigrant visa process, as she will enter as a Lawful Permanent Resident to begin with.

    Note that you did not receive a temporary green card. You never will, but once you pay the new immigrant fee and enter the USA using the visa, the visa plus the endorsement stamp give upon entry "serves as" a temporary green card, once you are admitted.

    The exact wording of what you are reading would be helpful.

    You have multiple options to marry first. Why not look into the details of marrying in Mexico, and compare that to marrying in the USA during a visit, then starting the spouse visa process. Again, you do not need a special (K1) visa to get married in the USA. The K1 is for marrying and staying. As long as you leave and follow the spouse visa process, no problem.

    Best to upload a new one with updated supporting documents. Also have your spouse take a copy of all with them.

    If you did not pay the application fee, and have an interview, you also didn't apply for a visa. Your husband hasn't applied for a visa for you either. What was filed was a petition for alien relative. When that petition is approved you will THEN be invited to apply for an immigrant visa.
  8. pushbrk
    Correct. To the author, what is the exact question you are seeing? The question after how many marriages is answered as one, you are requested to give the information about that one marriage, to you. It's important to understand that the same petition is used for any relative, not just the petiioner's (your) spouse.

    Close enough. You cannot correctly answer all three qualifying questions. Best not to try to force the issue. You definitely cannot use the EZ if you use a joint sponsor.
  10. pushbrk
    I need to add that you do not qualify to use the I-864EZ. Use the full version, joint sponsor or not.
  11. pushbrk
    I gave the proper advice already.

    I think if you look at any of your pay stubs, you'll see they show year to date income. One is enough. The affidavit of support does not ask for your projected 2025 income. It asks for "current income". In your case, that numbers may be the same, but the formula is gross pay for a pay period times the number of pay periods in a full year (any full 12 months). So, if you make a grand a week, starting last month, your current income is stated as 52k. Has nothing to do with any calendar year. Past tax return information is all that goes by calendar year.
  13. pushbrk
    A self employed petitioner has zero current income until it shows up on a federal tax return, so if 3k is what the most current tax return states, that's also their current income. You'll need to correct the affidavit and rely on the joint sponsor.

    And if it changes between interview and entry, you can change upon entry.
  15. pushbrk
    Correct, and this is only one of the many glitches in the online form.

    Four hours minimum is my recommendation. Ten minutes is the actual time once you walk to the desk, if all is well. You could be waiting a long time before that, depending on how many flights come in at that particular time. No less than three hours for sure. Depending on travel experience and language ability, you might even be wise to meet at the POE. That's what I did in 2006. LAX would have been a nightmare for my ex and step daughter to navigate.

    What is your wife's citizenship? Where does she actually live now? Why are you asking about DNA testing? Login to the CEAC site you were emailed a link to by NVC. That's where you learn about next steps and what is required.
  18. pushbrk
    ASAP is ok, but if she will be leaving shortly, I do advise to wait until she leaves, so you complete the petition indication she is not currently in the USA, instead of that she is. Either way, is certainly fine though, but be sure you indicate she will apply for the visa in London. Enter Not Applicable for where she will adjust status. This is the area where confusion creeps in.

    If you sent the declaration letters from any non-taxable pension, including the one from Social Security, you should have all the income evidence you need. If her total annual payments from the pensions and SS are well above the minimum, yes, I would expect no issues with the public charge judgement call, unless the retiree is of a very advanced age. "Elderly" sponsors are not always the best choice, but it will be the totality of circumstances that carry the day, or not.
  20. pushbrk
    Not exactly. Specifically, it is a message sent when the income shown on the most recent tax return is insufficient. This is very common for a retired person, who may have substantial non-taxable income, or those using liquid assets to qualify. My advice is to simply ignore everything in the message, except that part that says the Consular Officer will decide. Just expect them to do their job and get on with life.
  21. pushbrk
    Best to ignore those estimates and look at actual trends instead.
  22. pushbrk
    Irrelevant to a visa case. When adjusting status based on marriage to a US Citizen, unauthorized work is "forgiven".
  23. pushbrk
    Hard to say if this matters. It's a Tunisia specific issue. A similar situation in the Philippines used to be no problem, unless you wanted a new passport in the married name. Now, a marriage outside the Philippines must be registered through the Philippine Consulate abroad, or there is a definite problem. Unless there is a similar current issue for Tunisia, no worries. Maybe ask in the appropriate regional forum, or the situation may be mentioned in on the US Embassy for Tunisia, website.

    What description would you add?

    The idea of "extra civil documents" can simply be discarded. Those are the only two civil documents required for a child in this situation.
