    Note that the tax section of the form asks for "total income" not "adjusted gross income"....UNLESS a 1040EZ was filed, instead of a 1040. Not also that both those numbers are OFTEN the same. Total income is the number entered there whether employed or unemployed.

    That would be the correct answer anyway, because if they ARE in the same household, she has no income to combine with him. In this case the I-864a would come from Dad's spouse, if any, and whether the spouse has income or not. What to provide as supporting documents for each will be clearly stated in the I-864 instructions. Become an A-Student of that document and the forms themselves.

    Depends on the state. The issue is not whether you are legal to remarry. You are asking about the correct document to use as evidence of the divorce. What State is it? It's somewhat different in each state, but easy to Google for the correct answer to your question if we know the state.

    If you are still married or remarried to a US Citizen, you can start all over with a spouse visa process. Is that what you meant? Having had a green card once before, is not a basis to apply for an immigrant visa. You need a basis from which to be petitioned.

    So, what were you instructed to do about this?

    Cases are transferred after an interview date is assigned. You're in the queue for an interview date.

    Yes, the stepchild of a US Citizen needs a separate petition and separate visa. The cases are best file together. This is clearly stated in the I-130 instructions. Stepchild must be under 18 at the time of the marriage.

    It is not the best choice, but it might work. Best choice is to sell the house and show the cash in a US Account, where it could actually be used to support people. Much easier to document both value and equity, of cash. It's not what the house is "worth". It's what your equity in the house is worth, AND whether it can be reasonably quickly liquidated without doing harm to the sponsor.

    Probably a non-issue since all your address history is disclosed. If you get an RFE, respond immediately to avoid further delays. There does not seem to be any actual omission of information to prompt and RFE though.

    No need to explain any of the past during the initial petition stage, except to answer the question about previous petitions. "Withdrawn" would be the "result" of that initial petition. Bigger issue is later when dealing with the affidavit of support, joint sponsor, and actual plan for your family's actual support. Unless you expect your joint sponsor to ACTUALLY support your family, you need a clear plan. Your husband's employability is part of the totality of circumstances that will be evaluated.

    If she has an existing valid F1 visa, and will enter and study full time, I don't see any reason there would be a problem with that. If she does not currently have a valid F1 visa, she is highly unlikely to be issued one.

    Instructions FOR the form AND instructions ON the form.

    Adjusted gross income only applies if the sponsor files a 1040EZ instead of a 1040. Total income is the number entered on the I-864 tax section. In a situation where you are working extra hours and not all gross pay numbers will be the same, yes I would calculated gross current income from a few pay periods and include the related pay stubs. Four pay periods should be plenty. So add the gross for four pay periods, divide by 4, then multiply that number by the number of pay periods in a full year. Every two weeks (most common) is 26 pay periods. If last years income isn't enough to qualify, you'll get a note you can ignore, if your current income is clearly over the minimum.

    Ignore the bit about joint sponsor but do send the letter explaining you have no income to document.

    Lots of experience here. For intended address, enter "To Be Determined", but it is a really good idea to use something like your parents' US address as your mailing address, as it can be any mailing address, not needed to same as your physical address. If you don't have a US Income or well over 3 times the income requirement in liquid assets, you'll need a qualified joint sponsor in a year or so, once your I-130 is approved and you're at the NVC stage. For now, just answer the employment and physical address questions accurately and honestly. Your current income or employment has no bearing on petition approval. That comes later.

    Not with the I-130. Those documents are submitted at the NVC stage. It is the translation, not the translator that is certified. Which country and what do you mean by "copies in English"? When submitting anything, first become an A-Student of the instructions for the form, and/or the instructions received from NVC. Where are you in the process now?
  17. pushbrk
    My opinion is that this is a non-issue. Your low income that allows you to qualify for this COULD BE though.
  18. pushbrk
    Correct
  19. pushbrk
    You're guessing and guessing wrong. A Consular Officer, employed by the US Department of State, who follow the Foreign Affairs Manual. The UTAH marriage is not a problem for Consular Officers approving immigrant visas. There are some countries, like the Philippines that don't recognize the marriage internally and will not change names on ID including the passport based on such a marriage, but no impact on US Immigrant visas. There's no need to speculate. People have already come along and given accurate information to the OP.
  20. pushbrk
    On most current pay stubs. More is silly. Your pay stub shows Year to Date income anyway.
  21. pushbrk
    Note that the affidavit of support is not provided until after the I-130 is approved. That will take about a year. How long until you draw your pension? The answer to the I-864a related question is in the I-864 instructions you MUST become an A-Student of, but NO, the intending immigrant spouse does not provide an I-864a.
  22. pushbrk
    I would not bother a joint sponsor, or have them sign such a contract. The OP has a secure government job with plenty of current income. It's Manila. Not a problem.
  23. pushbrk
    Yes. That's part of your time consuming homework. 😉
  24. pushbrk
    Sounds good, but why not skip the mail and use DHL etc. Far faster and infinitely more reliable.
  25. pushbrk
    This is a non-issue.
