I see a plan for domicile, but what is your plan for qualifying as the sponsor? You cannot use the income from the job you take in Europe. Only income that will continue from the same source after returning to the USA can be used to qualify. Do you have well over three times the income requirement in liquid assets?

If already denied, you are wasting time even thinking about a visitor visa for her. You'll be doing the traveling.

The source of income kind of explains the situation, but I would not enter any untrue information. There is no box to check as "housewife". I doubt it will pass NVC without checking one of the boxes. She's retired. She need not mention her last job. Also, unless she needs to combine income with you, she should be providing an I-864, not the I-864a. That's what a joint sponsor does.

What you have is good but not enough. What concrete steps has your wife taken to show her intent to re-establish domicile in the USA? Note that even though London is not particularly strict on the Domicile issue, you have to satisfy NVC first. Where do you and your wife intend to live, exactly, and what steps have been taken to that end?

The affidavit of support allows for separate mailing and physical addresses. You do not "use" addresses. You answer direct questions. Unless all the income you are using to qualify as sponsor is through W2 employment, use the I-864 not the EZ version. You can just enter zeros in the A number field or use the one you mention in your other thread. It doesn't matter. There' not going to be any postal mail until after she's in the USA. The address where she intends to live is given in the DS260 visa application and confirmed both at the interview and upon entry.

Time from DQ would change if your change consulates. Time to DQ is the time in the queue for an interview. You go to the back of the line if you change after DQ.

She cannot even get in the queue for a Manila interview until the Immigrant visa unit there accepts the case. Becoming a permenent resident of the Philippines is not easy or fast. She may not even have a path to do so. The same would be true for pretty much any country.

You can only interview in your country of citizenship or in a country where you are authorized to officially reside. There is no "embassy shopping".

Not my/our job to explain the "why" of any US Government website content. The fact is IMBRA applies to fiancee visas only and nothing else. Does not apply in a spouse case but AWA does.

We don't know if it's Adam Walsh Act related yet. If it is, it's probably a don't do it case.

I don't understand why AWA issues are being discussed in the IMBRA topics forum, but since the Moderators decided to keep it here, let's make a couple things clear. 1. IMBRA and AWA came to be around the same time, but they are very different. IMBRA does not apply to spouse cases, and it isn't about any US Government staff determining whether the petitioner is dangerous to the foreign fiancee. It's about making sure the fiancee is fully informed. PEROID. 2, AWA related convictions relate to both spouse and fiance cases, and definitely ARE about US Government employees judging whether the foreigner is in danger from the USC petitioner. AWA convictions don't usually get approved by USCIS at all, but they are NOT about informing the foreigner. That won't help get the petition approved. 3. The only way it would matter if it's the Philippines is that the foreign spouse can't get a divorce there. If divorce is decided, the USC has to get it, and then cooperate with the former Filipino spouse to provide the necessary documentation to get the divorce recognized by the Philippine Statistics Authority, so the Filipino can be free to marry again.

Doesn't matter in this case. What matters is AWA or not.

This criminal record only matters in a spouse visa case, if it falls under the Adam Walsh Act. None of the above matters one little bit (in a spouse visa case) if AWA is not part of the story. But yes, how he feels about it has no bearing. If it falls under AWA, it's probably wise to forget about bringing a spouse from another country. This is the IMBRA forum, but this is not an IMBRA related case. It's about Adam Walsh Act only.

He either needs to search the records and find out of file in the blind. If his crime falls under the Adam Walsh Act, USCIS will find it and he'll hear it from them in a year or so. He knows where the crime occurred, and when. Searching for the record is not difficult.

Start by clicking on the word guides at the top of any page here. Then you study the form instructions carefully. If you want to be spoon fed through the process, hire a professional. Visajourney is about helping you do it yourself, with emphasis on DO It and SELF.

I appreciate the recognition. Thanks to all.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Provide too much and they don't have time to look at any, or look at the less important stuff. Better to concentrate on the primary evidence that is actually important. This is from years of experienced. (Been a member here 20 years now) To rely on one person's experience tends to fall into the trap of coincidental correlation or "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc", the most common logical fallacy trap for humans.

Yes, either this or a qualified joint sponsor. This is something knowable before you filed the petition. Time for the US Citizen to move back to the USA and go to work.

No

It generally takes another six months after you send your response. One data point doesn't provide much information, but I've been watching this for 20 years now. After the Consulate sends your case back to NVC recommending they send it to USCIS, you're a year away from a decision. Read my first response to you again and get to work.

Did PSA correct it for you? What did you need to do to make that happen?

No

In order to have additional assets considered, you'll need an updated I-864 and to upload a new complete financial package including the updated affidavit and updated evidence for each asset. You cannot just add the asset documentation. It must both be stated in the affidavit AND documented.

So the AOM Advisory of Marriage is issued by the PSA. Go to the local PSA Office and ask them about correcting it.

Typically, no appostilled documents are required by the USA in the Spouse Visa process.
