    Withdraw the first petition and file a new one. Then, it's no harm, no foul.

    Correction for spouse of US Citizen it takes 3 times the amount in liquid assets, not 5 times. So, if income is zero and the requirement is 25k in income, the minimum in liquid assets to offset the 100% income shortfall would be 75k. Don't expect the minimum in assets to carry the day though. A good chunk of that will be gone by the time the couple gets to the USA and finds a place to live. Consular Officers know and consider that.

    Your wife, as a self employed person (currently) will not be able to show any "income" until she files a 2024 tax return in 2025. If nothing has been filed yet, the I-864 is not likely to be needed until 2025 anyway. Time to do the homework. Wife needs to come here and click on the word "Guides" at the top of any page.

    E-filing is fine if the software will let you do it and you trust the software.

    You have or will sign your affidavit of support under penalty of perjury. The "or" in the instructions is there on purpose. Trust it.

    The document you submitted should be acceptable as it is in both languages. You have two choices. 1. Submit it again with a letter pointing out it is already in both languages. or 2. Get an English Translation made and submit that. You're not going to be able to talk your way out of respondin in one of those ways.
  7. pushbrk
    Correct but there are multiple transcripts. The "Tax RETURN Transcript" is the only accepted one.

    What is your actual concern with your case. A German marriage certificate issued in German and English is acceptable. Did you get an RFE, or are you concerned you may get and RFE for a different marriage certificate?

    AN actual passport photo LIKE they will use. Yes, you'll bring more to the interview and medical exam later.
  10. pushbrk
    Yes, do it.

    "Google says". You can't file early anyway. NVC will evaluate it within a month or so. When you are case complete at NVC, then is when you go into the queue for interview in Seoul. You are looking at an 18 to 24 month process, with the affidavit of support being filed about a year in.
  12. pushbrk
    You probably couldn't have anyway. Then go with my first answer. You cannot file the affidavit of support early. It doesn't go to USCIS in a spouse visa case anyway. It will be sent to National Visa Center, part of Dept. of State.
  13. pushbrk
    OK, but did you file directly with the Consulate or with USCIS?
  14. pushbrk
    I-864 is not filed (in a visa case) until AFTER the I-130 is approved. You cannot file it "early".
  15. pushbrk
    A complete copy of a federal tax return, is exactly "everything" you would mail to IRS if filing by mail.
  16. pushbrk
    You can do that, of course, but there's only one interview location in India. It's Mumbai.
  17. pushbrk
    About a year for the petition to be approved and 6 to 12 more months until the visa interview. Hopefully, you also filed the I-130a and supporting documentation too.
  18. pushbrk
    I'm re-thinking. Since name changes must be disclosed, you cannot file using the intended name without disclosing the other name previously used. When disclosing that name, you must document the name change. File using the current legal name(s) and do the change at the NVC stage.
  19. pushbrk
    As you continue, pay attention to little words like or, and, if etc. You missed the "or" applicable to complete copy of tax return OR tax return transcript.
  20. pushbrk
    They will "consider" the totality of circumstances but you are unlikely to qualify on the job offer alone. Your documented liquid assets will save the day.
  21. pushbrk
    Two bank statements will not be enough. You must show evidence of holding the funds for longer, so it is not thought to be a loan.
  22. pushbrk
    It was a two part question. Second part was the intention to live in the USA. You've answered that now.
  23. pushbrk
    Only one of them needs to have the required income. Best would be a company transfer so husband's income will continue from the same source once in the USA. That way, no need to have a joint sponsor, and the job transfer takes care of any domicile related issues.
  24. pushbrk
    Back to back questions on the form. First is where she'll adjust status and second is where she will apply for a visa. If you answered neither of them, the letter indicating she will apply in Mumbai, will do just fine. Did you leave the first question blank too? If so, that's fine.
  25. pushbrk
    Yes, that would be the solution. She must have a job and income in the USA in order to qualify as your sponsor. The only ways around that are with well over three times the income requirements in liquid assets (cash essentially) or a qualified joint sponsor.
