    Yes, your current income is 36k a year. It comes from the offer letter and pay stub, not a tax return. With clearly qualified current and past income, NVC should have no problem. I meant "in case" the Consular Officer requires it.

    All previous marriages and divorces must be documented. "I didn't know" is the truth, but in reality, you didn't know because you weren't told. Maybe you didn't ask the right question. Maybe this information was concealed from you purposefully. WHY you didn't know needs to be part of your explanation, and certainly part of her explanation at interview.

    Your income is marginal but above the minimum for a household of two unless you live in Hawaii or Alaska. Having a joint sponsor arranged and available, if necessary would be a good idea, just in case.

    It's blurry but seems like a little different message than we most commonly see. Can't really provide advice without details of your income.

    The "My progress" is not "random" but it IS "meaningless and unreliable".

    Apply your own priorities in making this decision. My additional advice is for neither of you to rely on what you've heard. Get the facts. When it comes to what she has heard, make sure she has your opinion on the same matters, and do it in a way she trusts what you say more than some random things she heard from who knows whom.
  7. pushbrk
    Correct. It would have been ok to mention this at the POE, but since you didn't, you do as stated above.

    Then your "current income" is exactly the number showing as "Total Income" on your latest 1040. That's how it works for a self employed person. You do not state your "revenue" or expected revenue. For the self employed, (in the context of the I-864 to sponsor an immigrant) it is not "income" until it shows on the total income line of your latest 1040. Employed people can project their income based on the next twelve months of employment. The self employed cannot. Based on what you are saying, you'll need a qualified joint sponsor.

    Not enough detail. How is your annual income 10k above the required amount if your total income from your last 1040, is only have the required amount? There are two ways I can think of. One is that you have non-taxable income, such as military retirement, and the other is you now have a new job and the evidence is pay stubs, showing current income that qualifies. Either will work. Details matter. Please clarify.

    Correct. Interviews for immigrant visa can only take place in country of citizenship or country of residence. Doesn't work if just a visitor.
  11. pushbrk
    It might be an issue depending on the totality of circumstances, but without further details, I can only say that in and of itself, it has no more negative impact, than an additional divorce would. Whether any future petition is approved will be about that relationship.

    Abusing the visitor privilege for the UK is not about eyebrows. It will lose you the privilege. Apply for any visa you want. It's not a conflict, but any visa that grants resident status comes with requirements to maintain that status. That means, one of you, YOU, will lose any resident status to the UK eventually, if you get it.

    My recommendation is that you go with the original plan. She is better off waiting out the immigrant visa process, as she will enter as a Lawful Permanent Resident to begin with.
  14. pushbrk
    Note that you did not receive a temporary green card. You never will, but once you pay the new immigrant fee and enter the USA using the visa, the visa plus the endorsement stamp give upon entry "serves as" a temporary green card, once you are admitted.
  15. pushbrk
    The exact wording of what you are reading would be helpful.
  16. pushbrk
    You have multiple options to marry first. Why not look into the details of marrying in Mexico, and compare that to marrying in the USA during a visit, then starting the spouse visa process. Again, you do not need a special (K1) visa to get married in the USA. The K1 is for marrying and staying. As long as you leave and follow the spouse visa process, no problem.
  17. pushbrk
    Best to upload a new one with updated supporting documents. Also have your spouse take a copy of all with them.
  18. pushbrk
    If you did not pay the application fee, and have an interview, you also didn't apply for a visa. Your husband hasn't applied for a visa for you either. What was filed was a petition for alien relative. When that petition is approved you will THEN be invited to apply for an immigrant visa.
  19. pushbrk
    Correct. To the author, what is the exact question you are seeing? The question after how many marriages is answered as one, you are requested to give the information about that one marriage, to you. It's important to understand that the same petition is used for any relative, not just the petiioner's (your) spouse.
  20. pushbrk
    Close enough. You cannot correctly answer all three qualifying questions. Best not to try to force the issue. You definitely cannot use the EZ if you use a joint sponsor.
  21. pushbrk
    I need to add that you do not qualify to use the I-864EZ. Use the full version, joint sponsor or not.
  22. pushbrk
    I gave the proper advice already.
  23. pushbrk
    I think if you look at any of your pay stubs, you'll see they show year to date income. One is enough. The affidavit of support does not ask for your projected 2025 income. It asks for "current income". In your case, that numbers may be the same, but the formula is gross pay for a pay period times the number of pay periods in a full year (any full 12 months). So, if you make a grand a week, starting last month, your current income is stated as 52k. Has nothing to do with any calendar year. Past tax return information is all that goes by calendar year.
  24. pushbrk
    A self employed petitioner has zero current income until it shows up on a federal tax return, so if 3k is what the most current tax return states, that's also their current income. You'll need to correct the affidavit and rely on the joint sponsor.

    And if it changes between interview and entry, you can change upon entry.
