The list sent is a laundry list. The responsibility to determine the Petitioner is a US Citizen has already been adjudicated by USCIS, but if something raises a question, the Consular Officer may want to see it. Usually not though. Most often it is for a Naturalized Petitioner that the Birth Certificate is needed at Consulate level.

The petitioner's birth certificate is not typically required, but since it's on their list, send it by FedEx, or DHL, not by mail.

No, it can't be that simple or contrived. I'm talking about actual concrete action taken with your wife back in the USA, even if for a preliminary visit. There may well be more and better suggestions coming. I'm just clarifying what I mean by one of MY suggestions.

No, they won't reject the case. But they easily detect contrived evidence. It's quite possible that your temporary stay with family in the USA is not going to be enough evidence of your wife's intent to re-establish US domicile. More concrete actions like looking for long term housing, or if there are children looking into school registration are examples. Others will have more suggestions for you.

It's a total non-issue, but good idea to bring the old one to the interview.

I assume you clicked on the link and read their suggestions already. The option of having her go ahead and go back to set up some things like a new bank account and driver license with the US address might work. If she can do more, like actually look for a more long term place to live without making any commitment, that would help. London is not known to be very strict on domicile issues, but you are not dealing with London yet.

I'm a little confused, not about the notice but who is who in this case. You say your wife is the applicant, but it sounds like she is the US Citizen petitioner and it is YOU who is applying for the visa. If so, please clarify.

Your father would only use the I-864a if he doesn't qualify on his own as s joint sponsor, and needs to combine income with you, in order for there to be enough income. Line 9 is the total income you would report for 2025 and also what you would state as your current income, for a self-employed person. I take it you are self-employed with Uber, not an employee. Your income is sufficient on its own. Yes, you can do the 864a from Dad later, if it becomes necessary.

If you can fill them out, go ahead, but you won't be able to schedule an interview until the Consulate informs you they are ready.

They will know about both cases being connected because their is only one underlying petition and your son is listed on the petition. You'll get instructions by email from the Consulate. Follow those.

No, but even though it is technically NOT an immigrant visa, a K1 visa interview is conducted by a Consular Officer assigned to the "Immigrant Visa Unit".

I would answer yes and explain "I-129f approved but did not apply for the K1 visa". Let them decide if it is relevant or not. It will not be a negative in any way. The already know this from the answer to the I-130 question.

Not an infant, but you are missing the point. The point is, the personal circumstances you mention, are not factors considered by USCIS, NVC, or a Consular officer. Getting your head around that, can be difficult. The further point is nothing about your feeling expressed here will change what gets considered.

I and many others here understand very well. It's important you understand, that my or our understanding of the personal circumstances you mention, are not factors considered by USCIS, NVC, or a Consular officer. Getting your head around that, can be difficult. We know. We all had to do it already. For me, it was 20 years ago.

You and your decisions are all that are stopping you from moving back to the US to work right now or very soon. It's understandable to every VJ member why you would rather wait until your wife can come with you, but the reality is that is your decision, not a decision by the US Government. You actually DO understand why your income in Sweden doesn't count. It's the reason you gave in the same sentence, in that the income will not continue from that source once you're in the USA. The vast majority of members here endure a separation from their spouse during the process. It goes with the territory. If you can avoid that, then it's a wonderful exception. If you have well over 3 times the income requirement in liquid assets, you don't need a job or a joint sponsor. Now is the time to become an A-Student of the I-864 and it's excellent instructions. It's the most complicated form in the process.

USCIS does not issue visas. In this kind of case, nobody has applied for anything yet. The beneficiary will not have a USCIS account until they are in the USA, married to the petitioner, and applying to adjust status.

Yes, the complications and delays in Ontario are well known.

You need to order a "Certified Copy" of the final divorce decree. You will scan or photocopy that document as your prior marriage termination supporting document.

It's your own judgment you use to determine which things are applicable to you though. When the time comes, ask your questions here. The common problem with AI in these matters is that context is King. Your specific circumstances are known to you, and not always considered in AI answers.

Much appreciated. My business is no secret here. Even though I've been in semi-retirement for 8 plus years, a big reason I still participate, is to stay up to date as things change and new information becomes available. The other senior members who are much more active are also great sources for me.

Your best bet is to deal with HR. Maybe get an executive involved, if you know one. It was many years ago, and not required by immigration at that time, but my HR used her entry to the USA as the activating event for dependent coverage. Even for that, you need a letter stating that clear policy, from either the insurance company or your HR.

It will have no impact on the date the Consulate sends the package. No idea whether it might save a day.

It will be email to you both. Just use the new address going forward.

No. No physical receipt of what is referred to as packet 3. The only thing sent on paper is the return of the passport with visa after the interview. See the title of this thread. The foreign fiancee's personal information is not found on USCIS.gov because USCIS only deals with the Petitioner. The Foreigner will only have a way to contact USCIS directly, after they file to adjust status after marriage in the USA. Online and email with the Consulate only until then. Consulate/Embassy now uses 2Go express for this. https://ph.usembassy.gov/2go-express-is-the-new-courier-for-visa-applications/

You were not born in Peru, so no birth certificate from Peru would be accepted. Get the applicable birth certificate from the country in which you were actually born. If it is not in Spanish or English, provide a certified translation. In short, what you provided from Peru was not accepted because Peru is not where you were born.
