If so, they are all "principal applicants" except perhaps the VAC interview. This is why details are so important.

The envelope every immigrant used to get is now transmitted electronically, in the vast majority of cases. There are rare exceptions.

The year you sponsor an immigrant is not the year to delay your tax filing. Yes, upload your complete federal tax return and any applicable W2 or 1099 forms. If employed, upload a current pay stub too. The foreign spouse should at least have a copy of the current pay stub in hand for the interview. That's how they know you STILL qualify.

Staying longer than intended is not an issue. He gets six months. It doesn't sound to me like he has intentions to adjust status, but I will correct an earlier poster by saying that "future intent" to immigrate is not an issue. If it was, he wouldn't have been admitted. When intent or need changes after entry, that's ok. It happens often for lots of reason, including something as simple as deciding you are tired of being apart.

Ignore expiration dates printed on forms. That's not the form expiring. It's a comment period that expires. Instead, check which issue date to use. Edition Date 03/09/23. If the civil surgeon signs your form on or after May 31, 2023, you must use the 03/09/23 edition. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions. Dates are listed in mm/dd/yy format. If you complete and print this form to mail it, make sure that the form edition date and page numbers are visible at the bottom of all pages and that all pages are from the same form edition. If any of the form’s pages are missing or are from a different form edition, we may reject your form. If you need help downloading and printing forms, read our instructions.

No. Best to pay as soon as she has the visa in hand. Green card production does not begin until both the fee is paid and she enters the USA. You want the entry to be the final step, not the fee payment, if possible. Yes, you pay online.

Just make three separate appointments, but if you went through NVC, it is NVC who schedules the interview appointments. What exactly are YOU trying to schedule?

Then do as you are asked. "Why" is not an issue to be concerned about.

No, but when asked again, on the DS260 enter Deceased as the location.

It appears that is what you have been asked to do. You have a qualified joint sponsor, right?

Were three separate petitions filed? If so, there are three MNL case numbers. If not, and you are a US Citizen, you made a huge mistake over a year ago. Step children of US citizens are no derivative beneficiaries. They each need their own petition.

Simply type the word Deceased as their place of current residence, both the city and country. No need to correct it. This is a non-issue.

The note is connected to a specific document. Submit that document exactly as directed. Seems like they want it submitted as a public inquiry.

There is no harm in filing the I-129F. One is enough. Do not expect any K3 or K4 visas to result, but it's possible to positively impact the timeline of I-130 approvals.

What exactly does the notice say?

Pay the fee online ASAP. Ask when you get to the POE, but stay together, so it is clear she is not entering before you.

It's clear you understand exactly what they want you to do. Do it. Understanding why is not required.

I want to just add that the subject line requests "legal advice". Legal advice is not available in this forum. Legal advice comes from attorneys licensed to practice law.

The fact is that assets alone are accepted. Not always on the first attempt, but when the assets are the kind that DO qualify, they do work. It's also a fact that people with plenty of liquid assets are understandably reluctant to involve and obligate another responsible adult relative or friend unnecessarily. "Get a joint sponsor" is much easier for an uninvolved VJ member to type than it is for a petitioner to actually accomplish.

Not enough context. This document was issued by which government authority and for what purpose?

Key issue here is how they see each other in person, once the proxy marriage is complete. Without that, there is no path for the foreign spouse to immigrate. A "conjugal visit" is not required, but being together in person is. In other situations, evidence of being in the same country at the same time is the primary evidence with any photos as secondary. So, does the intended foreign spouse have a way to get to the USA? Depends on country and circumstances not yet mentioned. Then there is the issue of the affidavit of support. Presumably the inmate has no income. Who will be the joint sponsor?

Boarding passes and passport stamps are the primary evidence of time spent together in person. Sounds like you were in the same place together during the online ceremony. Photos are secondary evidence. If by "tickets" you mean boarding passes, great. I haven't see an actual ticket in decades.

You'll be together much faster on a company arranged work visa than through family based immigration. About four years for F2a from India.

The OP is the Canadian Beneficiary in an overstay situation, preparing to adjust status. To the OP, the fact you've lived together so long is the strongest evidence you have of a genuine (bona fide) marriage relationship. No need to worry more about that.

Not an issue. No need to notify.
