Regarding I-485
pushbrk replied to Varshitha0798's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Of course an affidavit of support is required to adjust status based on marriage. You do not qualify for an exemption. -
Your US immigration status and travel plans don't match. You could marry civilly now, and start the process. You would have advance parole in about six months. Or, stay with your initial wedding plans and delay the religious ceremony in India until you at least have advance parole, or better, the green card.

AGI is not the relevant number, as she will have filed a 1040, not a 1040 EZ. Her "current income" will be the amount shown as "Total Income". Don't be surprised if that number is the same as the AGI, but "total income" is the correct number. If she is not well over the required amount, you might want a joint sponsor. On the other hand, if you are applying for EAD (work authorization) you may well be working by the time of the interview, and can bring a new affidavit showing both incomes.

I-130 paper version & service center
pushbrk replied to HKJ's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Assuming you provided an email address, your first notice of approval, will be by email. It will be followed by a paper notice by mail. You don't need an "online account" with USCIS to check the status of your case using the case number, but don't expect any updates. It's a black hole. -
Use their full names. You are being asked a simple question about their names. You know the correct answer, so provide it. You will not be required to document it. If a name on a birth certificate was going to be meaningful, it would be you parents' names on YOUR birth certificate. Even if there is a discrepancy there, provide the correct and accurate answer to the questions asked.

Your wife's affidavit is NOT less important. If her income was below the filing threshold during any of the years, she just checks that box, and hand writes which years, if not all. Your petitioner is always the primary sponsor. The joint sponsor is also needed, but both forms and sets of supporting documents must be correct and sufficient. If your wife is currently employed then you state her current income. Here's the formula. Take the gross income from a full pay period and multiply it by the number of pay periods of that length in a full year. So 1k a week is 52k a year, etc. That's her current income. Tax returns are about the past. No need to state and document liquid assets in this case.

1-130a form [merged threads]

Incorrect. See above. This has already been clearly answered and corrected. To know this, one must read all the way through the instructions. -

i864 part 7
pushbrk replied to thepinecone's topic in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas
She is not required to fill out that section. If she has some liquid assets, she can state and document them. The same goes for you. The intending immigrant's liquid assets can also be used. However, if you still need a joint sponsor, I would just skip it. -
How did you pay? If by check or money order, did you include two separate payments or combine them? They must be two separate payments. If no payment has been accepted, everything was rejected. The proper result would have been to get everything back including the payment. Your report lacks some details like mentioned above. Please clarify. Also, this is not a spouse visa case. Expect your topic to be moved to the correct forum.
