    Yes, you can submit unsolicited evidence, but it won't speed anything up. Income is king on the affidavit of support, but you have the option of showing liquid assets too. Download the I-864 and its separate instructions, then become an A-Student of both while you wait.

    I often caution members about telling strangers they can do it themselves. Maybe you can and maybe not. If you have the aptitude, aptitude, competence, and willingness to do the homework and pay attention to details, maybe. When you've been here twenty years, like me, you've seen lot of do it yourself horror stories.

    One pay stub is enough. Not sure where you heard 3. What you'll see in written instructions is six months, but that's an artifact from decades ago. Pay stubs have year to date income on them anyway, in most cases. New jobs are ok.

    That all looks good. During which of the four previous visits did you marry?
  5. pushbrk
    No. They do not ever expire. However, the ceac website is having issues at this time.

    It really matters how much time you spent together before. You say there were four visits. How long was each visit? Time spent together in person, is the most important factor. If these were short visits, then not seeing each other for two years is a bigger deal than if you had significant time together before that. The "why" does matter, but not much.

    Who is in office will not change anything once it passes the House and Senate.....AND....it will take much longer than four years. The last amendment "ERA" took decades. This is really a non-issue. Most countries do not have birthright citizenship anyway. No such change can be retroactive anyway.

    A constitutional amendment is the only thing that can end birthright citizenship. Even that would not revoke the citizenship of somebody already a US Citizen. First the amendment must pass congress, and then it must be ratified by 38 States. 3/4 of the States. This whole idea of ending birthright citizenship is just part of the nonsense put forward in the last election cycle. Pretty much this whole discussion is about such nonsense.

    The US Citizen is the "petitioner". The foreign spouse is the beneficiary of the petition and the visa applicant once the petition is approved.

    It's good that you've done this but it is not commingling of finances. That's not expected from couples who have never lived in the same country. Concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person. No need for everything on the list you're looking at. It says "one or more", not "every" or "all".

    Be sure to take evidence you meet the physical presence requirements, not just that you are a citizen. The best they like is school transcripts.

    If you completed the DS 260 properly, the SS card will come around the same time as the green card, about a month after her arrival in the USA, as long as the new immigrant fee is already paid. Next step is pay the new immigrant fee, then travel to the USA.
  13. pushbrk
    Did you include your email address on the I-130?
  14. pushbrk
    That would work, but expect the actual green card to arrive in about a month or more. Still ok, as the entry stamp next to the visa serves as a temporary green card for a year. You proposed travel schedule will work fine. Adding a note to remember it is the CRBA....AND....a US passport that are needed for the baby.

    For most of your questions the advice to interpret literally and answer accurately covers it. The form allows you to type Not Applicable. Only needed once per subject. Current residence has no end date. If you cannot proceed leaving it blank, enter the current date. These glitches are why I still recommend filing on paper.

    I wonder what is included in reports about "illegal activity". Is that illegal migrants working, or illegal migrants making money from other criminal activity, or both?
  17. pushbrk
    That's a viable solution, but they are not likely to travel very quickly after the birth anyway. It's a matter of logistics, to get the CRBA finished and passport in hand, for the baby, before the visa expires. If they go ahead with an interview before the birth, there's no need to update the household size on the Affidavit of Support, but there should be plenty of income for the clearly obvious change in the household size. Less stressful, to delay the interview a couple months. How long a delay depends on the health and care of the child shortly after birth. I think if it were me, I would ask for a three month delay or more.

    You'll need to have US income or substantial liquid assets to qualify as sponsor. You'll also need to show evidence you intend to establish or re-establish domicile in the USA. This comes in about a year after filing, at the NVC stage.
  19. pushbrk
    Yes, it means what you think it means. Submit reasonable evidence to overcome, and you'll get another year. Why haven't you submitted exactly what they asked for already? That's the real question here. If you can't do it in a year, what makes you think more time will help?

    Replying to trump won, what next? November 6 my predication is he'll massively cut funding for USCIS resulting in waiting times going from months and years, to decades. whatdo you all think? It should be noted that USCIS is funded by fees charged to those who use it's services. It is not taxpayer funded. So the above, is a prediction based on a false understanding of USCIS funding.

    With specific regard to "anti immigrant rhetoric" details matter. The rhetoric I'm hearing is anti-illegal migration. Those of us who understand and are involved in the actual "immigration process", know the difference between "migration" and "immigration". People in the USA illegally through migration or overstay, would be wise to get their affairs in order.
  22. pushbrk
    At least as long as the visit. The key is to be out of the USA more than in. It really is usually that simple.
  23. pushbrk
    I've been a member here since 2005. The spouse and fiancée visa processes have been essentially the same the whole time. Implementation of IMBRA and impacts from the Adam Walsh Act have been the big changes along with the K3 and K4 visas becoming virtually obsolete. None of those changes can be attributed to any Presidential proposals or policies. That means no noticeable changes in those processes during the first Trump administration. I'm not aware of proposals to change them in the future.

    Interpret literally. Last address outside the USA for more than one year.

    Since you don't have applicable special circumstances, London is the answer. It's important to understand that the I-130 is not a visa application. It's just a petition filed by the US Citizen in behalf of the foreigner. The visa application comes after that petition is approved, and concludes in London with a visa interview. I think some of your confusion stems from thinking the I-130 is a visa application. It's not.
