    No.

    If it is her intention to change her surname, and she is able to do so in Japan, then file with the married name, and do the change ASAP. No problem at all, and much less hassle than waiting until US Citizenship.

    My literal interpretation is that it is not needed, but if available, I would get it anyway.

    If they get a W2, they are "employed" by the entity providing the W2.

    Scan and print locally is fine, but do upload.

    Exactly as I wrote. Submit online, but wait until you have the interview date. You also bring to interview, all the same things.
  7. pushbrk
    Yes, add and document her assets. No need for a cover letter. Just be ready to explain your plan. Consular officers are tasked with making a judgment call about how likely it is that YOU will become a public charge. Do everything you can to make that decision easy for them.

    Address is not necessary but the name should just be entered in the form in the native alphabet. If you cannot type the native alphabet in the form, just upload the file with the full name in native alphabet and a note in English indicating the address is in Canada.

    No worries.

    Submit a whole new affidavit of support and supporting documents online before the interview, but only after you have an interview date.

    Are you saying the joint sponsor will do more than provide and sign papers? Are you saying the joint sponsor is actually going to support you? What is your plan to actually live and pay your living and medical expenses? You don't have to answer me, but the Consular Officer needs an answer, so you better have one. Don't expect a Consular officer to believe your joint sponsor is actually going to pay your expenses.

    If she has sufficient liquid assets in her account, she can declare and document those, instead of using a joint sponsor. If sufficient funds already available, is how you will support each other, then no issue. You have not provided details. Time to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions and the form itself. Unless that joint sponsor is going to take the responsibility of actually supporting you, you still need a support plan. What is it?

    Usually, only close family members are willing to take on such an obligation, once they read what they are signing and understand the personal and financial information they must disclose.
  14. pushbrk
    Correct, but also considered is their motivation to actually sponsor. Has this former coworker read the contract he will sign? By sponsor I mean actually support. You still need to present a viable plan for actual support. I've asked twice about the foreign spouse's ability and intention to contribute to the couple's support. You have not mentioned any of that. It is highly relevant. You do not "cover up" anything. You must convince the Consular Officer you will not become a public charge, meaning not have to be supported by the US taxpayer instead of your spouse and yourself.

    Earlier you said she did not want to wait in the USA. Please address my direct questions, as they are still critical to your ultimate success. Sounds like she can satisfy the domicile issues, but how is she going to qualify as your financial sponsor? Are you employable and part of the plan for supporting yourselves in the USA. If so, please elaborate. No qualified financial sponsor, means not visa for you.

    We don't know all the things the Consular Officer will know. I mentioned your employability and anything you have to offer to the picture. You haven't mentioned any of that, so nobody can predict what "like mine" actually means. If she can work remotely for an employer where the "employee income" not self employment will continue from the same source, that would be good. Bear in mind that in these situations, the petitioner must do what they must do, regardless of whether they want to or not. Otherwise, no visa for you. 😉

    No reason to think your income is overstated, unless it appears your deductions are unusually low. You can use bank statements to support the income stream, but if you do, I would add a letter of explanation and highlight which deposits are business revenue.
  18. pushbrk
    The Consular Officer will consider the totality of circumstances, which will include how the two of you will support yourselves in the USA. If she can't afford to support you herself, then your employability and intentions are part of the circumstances to be considered.

    1. Your wife must complete, sign, and submit an I-864 as the petitioner. The "w" version is not applicable to your case. 2. That she has re-established domicile is good. If she goes back to work, she can submit an updated I-864 before the interview.
  20. pushbrk
    You are confusing revenue with income. A 1099 is evidence of business revenue, not income. What you mention as "profit" is most likely your "income" and the tax return is the proof of income. Your current income is the amount shown as "total income" on your 2023 federal income tax return. If you declared all your revenue on your tax return, then that's all you need to do. The Consular Officer will accept that you earned any income you are willing to declare and be taxed on.
  21. pushbrk
    The issue is not whether the amount is enough to qualify. It is, but you must provide the pay stubs from the other employers anyway. Be thorough, not minimal.
  22. pushbrk
    1. You have an A number that is available to you. Of course you enter it. 2. Instructions say when using US passport as your evidence of US Citizenship, to provide a complete copy.
  23. pushbrk
    If the A number is unavailable to you, enter all zeros. Just answer no about the certificate of citizenship or naturalization. Neither is required when you derive citizenship through a parent.
  24. pushbrk
    Read what it says about alternate documents.

    So you've solved the easy part, travel arrangements. You seem to be focused on minimum requirements, to start the process. Now is the time to do your homework on red flags and what constitutes enough relationship evidence to have chance of actually being together in the USA. Start by understanding no officials care on little bit how difficult this might be for you to do the one thing that makes the difference. (To spend significant time together in person)
