Previous I-130 for ex-spouse
pushbrk replied to yetanotherfaery's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Yes, at least the same scrutiny you are seeing here, which is a few minutes to get the answer to the necessary questions, checking dates of previous marriage, immigration, and divorce in addition to the normal. -
Previous I-130 for ex-spouse
pushbrk replied to yetanotherfaery's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Correct that the case will get extra scrutiny. How much, or whether they would call the US Citizen for an interview at a local USCIS office is unpredictable. It could be an extra minute of the adjudicator's time or more. It would depend on the timing of all events. They will notice anything that causes them to suspect the first marriage was immigration fraud. (Entered into for the sole purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit for the foreigner, instead of a bona fide marrital relationship. -
Previous I-130 for ex-spouse
pushbrk replied to yetanotherfaery's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It's possible but usually not necessary. You say you provide divorce decree for that spouse. Did you provide for all previous marriage terminations. -
Yes, but since the required documents are not available, you might end up being denied and have to file again. They will likely send an RFE. If they do, and you already have the required documents from the Gong Zheng Chu, they will proceed. Otherwise, your petition will be denied, and you'll need to start over.

This is a message anybody whose "total income" on their most recent tax return will get. However, if your income from your current "employment" is clearly sufficient, simply ignore this note. Keywords are "Consular Officer will decide..." Further advice depends on the details of your income, I mentioned but you did not provide.

Should I get a joint sponsor?
pushbrk replied to chocoli p's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Yes, your current income is 36k a year. It comes from the offer letter and pay stub, not a tax return. With clearly qualified current and past income, NVC should have no problem. I meant "in case" the Consular Officer requires it. -
All previous marriages and divorces must be documented. "I didn't know" is the truth, but in reality, you didn't know because you weren't told. Maybe you didn't ask the right question. Maybe this information was concealed from you purposefully. WHY you didn't know needs to be part of your explanation, and certainly part of her explanation at interview.

Should I get a joint sponsor?
pushbrk replied to chocoli p's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Your income is marginal but above the minimum for a household of two unless you live in Hawaii or Alaska. Having a joint sponsor arranged and available, if necessary would be a good idea, just in case. -
Unsolicited Evidence I-130
pushbrk replied to Roussel Boudreaux's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
The "My progress" is not "random" but it IS "meaningless and unreliable". -
Apply your own priorities in making this decision. My additional advice is for neither of you to rely on what you've heard. Get the facts. When it comes to what she has heard, make sure she has your opinion on the same matters, and do it in a way she trusts what you say more than some random things she heard from who knows whom.

Then your "current income" is exactly the number showing as "Total Income" on your latest 1040. That's how it works for a self employed person. You do not state your "revenue" or expected revenue. For the self employed, (in the context of the I-864 to sponsor an immigrant) it is not "income" until it shows on the total income line of your latest 1040. Employed people can project their income based on the next twelve months of employment. The self employed cannot. Based on what you are saying, you'll need a qualified joint sponsor.

Not enough detail. How is your annual income 10k above the required amount if your total income from your last 1040, is only have the required amount? There are two ways I can think of. One is that you have non-taxable income, such as military retirement, and the other is you now have a new job and the evidence is pay stubs, showing current income that qualifies. Either will work. Details matter. Please clarify.

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.

Annotation on my cr1 visa
pushbrk replied to JJMC's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
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. -
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.

New I-864 Needed for New Job?
pushbrk replied to Cbl8524's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Best to upload a new one with updated supporting documents. Also have your spouse take a copy of all with them. -
B2 in relation to CR1 question
pushbrk replied to Claire1994's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
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.
