    Yes, it's ok. No, they are not asking for original tax returns. There's really no such thing when you file electronically anyway. Always read carefully, and it will become clear what "original" documents are needed. Even then, they are almost always "original certified copies". Misinterpretation of instructions is common. Pay close attention and interpret literally.

    Replying to myself to show example of Consulate Issued digital signature.
  3. pushbrk
    If the official document is digitally signed, then you upload the actual PDF, then take a printout of it to the interview. There are no wet signatures on digitally signed documents, but the face of the document indicates it was digitally signed and by whom.
  4. pushbrk
    Yes Embassies understand these documents. Specifically, my deceased friend's widow received a digitally signed Consular Report of Death Abroad from the US Embassy in Manila last week.

    You asked somebody who advised you without doing the proper research first. No, it's not "risky".

    You are not an LPR and cannot use ESTA this time. Just enter as a foreigner. You'll get the appropriate attention and processing. Don't expect anything like expedited.

    One would not get the idea they must prove they have insurance, from reading that article. It's first paragraph is an update indicating it's no longer even a phantom issue. We never saw an issue from it, probably because people who have qualifying income or assets are able to get health insurance through the ACA marketplace. I said it was never an actual issue because it never was.

    This has never been an issue, never. Just deal with it when you can after arrival. Do NOT expect a question about it. Not sure where you got that understanding, but it is false.

    Either way will work, but I would have combined them.

    The case will not go forward without all documents submitted, and your affidavit of support.

    So, yes complete, sign and upload a new I-864 using the recently new version of the I-864. Ignore the step children for now, but if your income is barely enough to qualify for them, yes, do state and document your liquid assets and add your husband's income (converted to dollars) in part 6, line 8 and provide the evidence this income will continue, and evidence of his current income, like a pay stub, or best, just the offer letter accompanying his job transfer.

    Yes, it is particularly important to know the nature of the sources of income. Usually, the petitioner's spouse would do an I-864a, not be a joint sponsor, but without details, it's impossible to know if there's a good reason for this. For our discussion here, it's more helpful if you omit your "feelings" (We understand.) and stick to the pertinent facts.
  13. pushbrk
    Yes. Note that "not required" does not mean "should not" as you have interpreted it. When it's steady employee income, it certainly isn't necessary. When it's income being generated by assets, surely you can see the benefit of declaring and documenting the assets that are generating the income.
  14. pushbrk
    Did you state and document the investment assets that are generating the income?
  15. pushbrk
    It will be fine the way it is.

    Start by clicking on the word "Guides" at the top of any page here. This is a "do it yourself" site. We are here to help with what you still don't understand AFTER you do your homework. Relying on questions without doing the homework is very dangerous. You don't know WHAT you don't know until you do the homework, so you won't know what to ask.
  17. pushbrk
    The correct procedure is what I quoted. You do not predict the self employed portion of your income. You do as I described. If you've already submitted your affidavit, I wouldn't worry about it.
  18. pushbrk
    In this forum, we only have the written word for communication. You did not "email" your I-130. You filed it online. Don't expect any update after the receipt notice, for about year. Your petition is just sitting in a queue. Eventually, a human will "adjudicate" your I-130 for no more than 30 minutes. You will then either get a request for initial evidence (if they think something is missing or they need more) or an approval or denial notice. It's a black hole. No is the time to do your homework on the NVC stage. Specifically, become an A-Student of the I-864 and it's separate but excellent instructions.

    You will be entering four separate annual income numbers. In the tax section, enter the number called "total income" on your federal tax return for each of the last three years. For the current income, it's the salary, plus the amount of business income carried to the first page of the 1040 from the schedule C of your latest federal tax return.

    Great idea. While we can understand the difficulties you describe, I assure you that no Consular Officer cares about your difficulty with seeing each other. Take a tranq. LOL
  21. pushbrk
    No need for parents to complete any forms, unless their income is being combined with the joint sponsor's.
  22. pushbrk
    Now that it's clear, put the parents as previously sponsored immigrants. Only indicate one step child per affidavit. Do not list other immigrants being sponsored, as they will have their own affidavits. Trust the Consular Officer to do the simple arithmetic and apply the six person income requirement.
  23. pushbrk
    Same answer. No intending immigrant needs to submit a police clearance/report from the USA.
  24. pushbrk
    Correct, but parents claimed are "other" not children. Officer will consider the income requirement for a household of five, however.
  25. pushbrk
    No need for police certificate from the USA. That background check is done as part of the process.
