    Just a side note. For my last divorce, I was requested to bring three copies to the hearing. Once the judge ruled, the clerk certified the copies I made. This allowed me to walk out of court with three certified copies that "I made". Never heard of such a thing before, but found it sensible and effecient.

    I already said GUZ is tough but fair. I already said 3 months was plenty. It will be what it will be.

    GUZ can be tough but they are fair. GUZ can be tough but they are fair.

    Bring the evidence to the interview. It's Taiwan, not Guangzhou. Right?

    An "original" of a civil document, is owned by the government agency that issues it. The best you can get is an "original certified copy". Chances are, that will be fine for an interview, but if the Consular Officer wants to see the original certified copy, you have no choice but to obtain it and provide it.

    Correct. Make it so each stack could stand alone, but send all three stacks together in the same envelope. Supporting documents are different for stepchildren than for spouse. You'll see this in the instructions. Answer all questions that are applicable to you and/or each beneficiary. Your wife has a spouse, you, and children. Your stepchildren presumably have neither.

    Unfortunately true. This is why it's so important to study instructions,, then read questions carefully, interpret literally, and answer accurately. That action would have prevented this problem. With USCIS, prevention is infinitely more important than correction.

    If your current income (gross pay for a pay period times the number of pay periods in a full year) is clearly sufficient, I would leave your parents out of it completely, as you qualify as sponsor on your own. Become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions and the form itself, and you'll see I'm right.
  9. pushbrk
    Well, you can certainly follow the RFE, in which case you can just use one of them or both. If it were me, I would make sure everything was completed properly, and tell them why your parent DOES qualify as a joint sponsor. They certainly do. NVC folks are humans. Humans make mistakes.
  10. pushbrk
    Tell me again WHY you are needing their help with qualifying?
  11. pushbrk
    They are both "employed"?
  12. pushbrk
    I missed the word "it's" in your sentence. Sorry, yes equal income. What's the source of the income and how did you document it?
  13. pushbrk
    I added to my response. Was it Mom or Dad that was mentioned in the RFE? I'll reiterate that my advice was correct, and NO, we are not seeing the problem you describe. I did say to use the higher earning parent as the joint sponsor. Seems you did the opposite, but that should not be the problem.
  14. pushbrk
    Maybe that's right. Why doesn't this person qualify as a joint sponsor? It has to be something related to their financial qualifications or income. This was my advice...Use the higher earning parent as joint sponsor and the other parent as the joint sponsor's household member. YOU are the primary sponsor with your own separate affidavit. Your parent(s) don't need to combine income with you to qualify. But....the RFE mentions only one person. What did you actually file? Which parent is mentioned and why only one? Something is missing here.
  15. pushbrk
    If you qualify on your own, don't unnecessarily contractually obligate others. Let's clear up some terminology. There are no "co-sponsors". There are joint sponsors and their are household members. Just because your "relatives" live in the same house does not mean they qualify as household members, and the need not count in YOUR household anyway. What's the relationship to you? If you qualify and they also qualify, you don't combine income. Let's clear this up before going forward.
  16. pushbrk
    What does the RFE say exactly?
  17. pushbrk
    Exactly
  18. pushbrk
    I-485 is an application, not a petition.
  19. pushbrk
    Did you have a question?
  20. pushbrk
    Not exactly on the year to re-entry. Each entry is a judgment call. It's safe to be gone less than six months.
  21. pushbrk
    I would ignore it. The Consular Officer makes the decision and probably can see your joint sponsor is self employed, so no W2 form. Congratulations!
  22. pushbrk
    You never mentioned you were self employed. For you yes, your total income line on your 2022 tax return is your current income. If that's 29k, you should be good to go.
  23. pushbrk
    Made is past tense. What's your current income?
  24. pushbrk
    My rule of thumb would not be quite that simple, but if current income and at least the most recent full year (not the same number) for an employed person, is 150% of the poverty level or more, probably no need for a joint sponsor. You'll get a better answer if you get specific about your own situation, instead of generalizing.
  25. pushbrk
    It is but it won't work for the fellowship in question.
