IR1 Category Question - CEAC Portal
pushbrk replied to jiggaman97's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Exactly what to bring depends on exact circumstances. In short, she should bring the original or certified copy of anything that is uploaded. Exception is the affidavit of support. A scanned copy of the signed affidavit is fine. -
Note the question about current income asks for the current income YOU ARE USING TO QUALIFY. Income that will not continue from the SAME SOURCE once in the USA cannot be counted. Same field but different company is NOT the same source. You will need a qualified joint sponsor, and to complete a new accurate affidavit from the petitioner accurately showing zero current income.
-
In many cases, that notice can simply be ignored, but you have not provided enough information for us to know. If the sponsor is the US Citizen Petitioner, and their job will continue once in the USA, just ignore it. If the liquid assets of the petitioner and applicant combined are well over three times the income requirement, ignore it. This is a stock message anytime the "total income" number on the latest tax return is below the 125% of the poverty line. Please clarify the source(s) and amounts of whatever it is the Petitioner is using to qualify?

Intent to reestablish domicile.

Your convenience and what you want are not priorities in this process. There is going to be a risk that you are not only separated, but you wait in Egypt while your wife returns to the USA. I cannot say how much risk or for how long. I can only say that it is YOUR risk. If there is a delay after the interview, you will endure that delay without your Egyptian Passport. -

Be sure to enter Not Applicable in the adjustment of status space. -
affidavit of support
pushbrk replied to cluelessinny2's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You can update your affidavit of support anytime. Since you are employed, you can use a pay stub as your evidence of your new income. If the interview is next year, the beneficiary can take the year end pay stub as early as you have it, and or the new tax return as soon as you file it. -
Intent to reestablish domicile.

That you interviewed in Thailand and are Egyptian is the problem, particularly if you are not a legal resident of Thailand. Details matter here. Yes, it is very likely you will have another interview in Cairo. My suggestion is for your wife to travel to the USA when you travel to Cairo, so that deals with the domicile issue directly. You might find other advantages to that as well. -

Where was the interview? -
Like I said, it's too late for DCF. You needed to do that instead of filing with USCIS. Your lack of financial means is a two-edged sword. Again, what is your plan for sponsoring (financially) YOU, the intending immigrant. If you do not have a satisfactory plan for that, there will be no immigrant visa anyway. First things first. The USA is not going send you both from Turkey to the USA so the US Taxpayer can support you both. It just doesn't work that way.
-
Too late now, but you should have filed directly with the Consulate in Ankara. No, I doubt those are ground for an expedite. You wife might have grounds for emergency evacuation from Turkey, but that is unlikely to impact your ability to accompany her to the USA. It is possible though. What is your plan for sponsorship of you, the immigrant?
-
Like I said, the timing is up to you. It's best to rely on a person reading these communication who has English as their first language, if possible. They should read carefully, interpret literally, and act or respond accordingly. It seems you might not understand that for Argentina, civil document in Spanish, need no translation. The instruction is to translate document not in either English or the Local Language. Unless your civil documents are in some language other than Spanish, they do NOT need translation for interviewing in Argentina.
-
If your birth certificate is in Spanish, it doesn't need translated. That's the local language. Same goes for the police certificate. Time is only an issue if you are in a hurry. You need to contact NVC once a year to keep the case open.
-
Not wrong, just imprudent the year you are sponsoring an immigrant. if the past years are several times the needed income, it might be OK. Otherwise, much smarter to get it filed as soon as possible. In this case, the affidavit of support is going to be needed before the filing deadline. (Note that my answer follows the context that the sponsor is self employed, and that current income for the self employed can only come from a tax return.)
-
You can collect supporting documents and study the I-864 instructions, but you cannot complete his affidavit of support until he files his next tax return. He should not delay filing or file for an extension. If he has a tax preparer, he should inform them NOW that he needs to file as early as possible next year. His stated current income is going to be the "Total Income" line of that tax return. The same goes for those previous two years. See what those are now, so you know if he'll have any difficulty qualifying. Some of the things self employed people do in their tax returns can be counterproductive for qualifying to sponsor an immigrant.
-
You need a new and updated full financial package for the petitioner. Hers is no longer current or accurate. For the joint sponsor, you need a full package too. What is included is in the I-864 instructions, and some of it depends on the sponsor's actual circumstances. We don't know those, but somebody does.

Processing time for I 130

Not "tax receipts". And you hae not added him yet, unless you have all the necessary documents, and they have been uploaded to ceac along with your wife's updated financial package. I think what you mean by "tax receipts" is his Tax Return Transcript. That is not a receipt for payment and the requirement is not to show evidence taxes were paid. It's evidence the tax returns were filed. Payment is a separate issue. What is needed is spelled out in the I-864 instructions. No need to change the wording or translate. Just provide exactly what is required.
