That is incorrect. When the petitioner is a US Citizen, each immigrant must have their own petition. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but my previous posts described what must now be done.

K3 and K4 visas haven't actually been available for a dozen years. If you cannot pass US Citizenship directly to your children, they each need their own I-130. They will then become US Citizens when they enter the USA to reside with you. Your wife will receive a green card. No, your children cannot "visit" the USA. They need immigrant visas. If you did not file and I-130 petition for each of them, hold on your wife's NVC progress, file those petitions, and wait until they catch up with your wife's. Are you absolutely sure you do not meet the physical presence requirements to pass citizenship. YOU MUST be sure of this, as they cannot get visas if the qualify to be US Citizens now.

Petitioner's birth certificate is one of the possible documents filed with the petition as evidence of US Citizenship. The Consulate has the file USCIS used to approve the underlying petition.

Should be no problem. If you have a job offer letter, make sure you wife has it. She should be ready to ask what your job is now. He's a (insert occupation) and just changed jobs to (insert name of company).

And the truth is that if during the visit, the plans change, then the plans change. What is not legal is to have such an intent when entering as a tourist. All kinds of things can happen in three months. I'm pointing out facts of life, not making suggestions.

Yes, you can only use your visa to enter the US after, or at the same time as your petitioner/spouse. You cannot enter with this immigrant visa ahead of him. If you try and they ask, you'll be denied entry. If they don't ask and find out later, you could lose your status. No exceptions.

Maybe but that doesn't help with a solution. Back to productivity if you please. So, did you indicate you are both employed and self employed? In the tax section, did you enter the number from the "total income" line of your 1040s? For real Estate assets, did you include documentation of their value and mortgage? For real estate, did you state only the value of the equity? Do you and your wife file joint federal tax returns? We don't need to know all the details and values. You are both employed and a self employed investor/landlord That's the nature and sources of your income. Please answer the follow-up questions above.

Visajourney does not pay any member, as far as I know. This discussion group is funded by advertising.

I don't save text only messages either. The box is small. So, did you indicate you are both employed and self employed?

Yes.

Probably not an issue for a visa case. If it is, they'll send an RFE.

Yeah, I don't even know what you mean by shaded fields. You download the PDF, then us Adobe Reader or Acrobat to complete it, but first also download the instructions and do your homework. This way, when you're done, you have a PDF copy you can print, scan and upload, but also edit later, if needed.

I didn't open your attachments because I don't give advice by private messages. Further, I deleted the message. These mailboxes are not very big. If I don't delete, the box is full and I cannot receive new messages. So....Last request. What is the nature and source or sources of the income you are using to qualify? I've explained the question in detail already. If you want help, answer the question.

Correct.

I refused to help through private messaging because that's not how Visajourney works. That you were DQ, is no guarantee regarding what a Consular Officer will do. It is the Consular Officer that has the authority to make the public charge decision. I asked you to describe the nature and sources of the income you used to qualify. Is it from employment, self employment, passive income, non-taxable income? Please explain, so we can understand. Without this information we don't know how to help. I referred you to the partner page, if you need professional help.

No, it is not a civil document. Those are birth, marriage, police, divorce documents for the visa applicant, not the petitioner, but it's good to have all those same type certified copies for the petitioner too. Petitioners do not have police reports.

Pretty sure the "payment" was to an internet cafe outside, not to the Consulate.

No, it is not misinformation. Although there is plenty of bad advice on Filipino FB groups, it is common to upload updated, financial documentation, even new affidavits of support when there are significant changes or a new tax year filing deadline has passed. However, the two documents you say she uploaded would not be necessary. Even so, what she did should not hurt anything either. I'll just add that advice in these groups is given in the local language, which is very inefficient when discussing details. Terms tend to be vague, so it is easy to interpret too broadly. No harm here though, in my opinion.

We would need to understand the nature and sources of the income. Yes, there are facts that go along with your expressions of indignation, but those feelings don't help us help you.

Unless your employment has changed, just bring the new tax return or tax return transcript and a current pay stub.

No need to sign tax forms, return copies or return transcripts.

The other documents that show your current address are the petition, and the affidavit of support. If you live in the USA and your forms say you do, the lease contract is cake icing that is better to have than not have, but probably won't be needed. Domicile is really only an issue for petitioners living abroad.

Please let us know the results of the interview. Once the results are in, the options become more clear.

See how the interview goes. If denied on public charge grounds, you would be wise to start over with a spouse process. Where you get married depends on what you can arrange. It doesn't matter to USCIS or the Consulates. If he is approved for the K1, improve your income with a second job. You can state and document your home equity but because it is not liquid, (See definition of liquid in this context by studying the I-864 instructions.) it's not going to help you qualify as his sponsor. You are in this pickle because you failed to do the necessary homework. Time to get to studying now. It's not that the immigrant will be living in your house. It's that the sponsor, you, cannot liquidate that house without "harming" yourself. Study those instructions. Become and A-Student of them.

Yes, that and showing your current address is the same as that apartment address. Probably still good enough if you don't live there yet.
