    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.
  2. pushbrk
    I need to add that you do not qualify to use the I-864EZ. Use the full version, joint sponsor or not.
  3. pushbrk
    I gave the proper advice already.

    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.

    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.
  7. pushbrk
    Correct, and this is only one of the many glitches in the online form.

    Four hours minimum is my recommendation. Ten minutes is the actual time once you walk to the desk, if all is well. You could be waiting a long time before that, depending on how many flights come in at that particular time. No less than three hours for sure. Depending on travel experience and language ability, you might even be wise to meet at the POE. That's what I did in 2006. LAX would have been a nightmare for my ex and step daughter to navigate.

    What is your wife's citizenship? Where does she actually live now? Why are you asking about DNA testing? Login to the CEAC site you were emailed a link to by NVC. That's where you learn about next steps and what is required.

    ASAP is ok, but if she will be leaving shortly, I do advise to wait until she leaves, so you complete the petition indication she is not currently in the USA, instead of that she is. Either way, is certainly fine though, but be sure you indicate she will apply for the visa in London. Enter Not Applicable for where she will adjust status. This is the area where confusion creeps in.

    If you sent the declaration letters from any non-taxable pension, including the one from Social Security, you should have all the income evidence you need. If her total annual payments from the pensions and SS are well above the minimum, yes, I would expect no issues with the public charge judgement call, unless the retiree is of a very advanced age. "Elderly" sponsors are not always the best choice, but it will be the totality of circumstances that carry the day, or not.

    Not exactly. Specifically, it is a message sent when the income shown on the most recent tax return is insufficient. This is very common for a retired person, who may have substantial non-taxable income, or those using liquid assets to qualify. My advice is to simply ignore everything in the message, except that part that says the Consular Officer will decide. Just expect them to do their job and get on with life.
  13. pushbrk
    Best to ignore those estimates and look at actual trends instead.
  14. pushbrk
    Irrelevant to a visa case. When adjusting status based on marriage to a US Citizen, unauthorized work is "forgiven".
  15. pushbrk
    Hard to say if this matters. It's a Tunisia specific issue. A similar situation in the Philippines used to be no problem, unless you wanted a new passport in the married name. Now, a marriage outside the Philippines must be registered through the Philippine Consulate abroad, or there is a definite problem. Unless there is a similar current issue for Tunisia, no worries. Maybe ask in the appropriate regional forum, or the situation may be mentioned in on the US Embassy for Tunisia, website.

    What description would you add?
  17. pushbrk
    The idea of "extra civil documents" can simply be discarded. Those are the only two civil documents required for a child in this situation.
  18. pushbrk
    Borrow if you must, but file the I-485 and all the supporting forms and documents. Do it right this time. Once filed, you might lose your ability to work, but you'll be ok to stay in the USA.
  19. pushbrk
    If your current work is in the USA now, you simply show the pay stub or HR letter. If you are adjusting status, you're in the USA. The question about current income is in the present tense. So, the income you mention is already being earned in the USA. Right. Note that Adjusted Gross is not the correct number. Use Total Income. However those numbers are often the same.
  20. pushbrk
    Apply for the passport the same as you would if your child was born in the USA. The visa and entry stamp are the evidence of Citizenship needed along with birth certificate and translation, if needed, would be the evidence of Citizenship.
  21. pushbrk
    First thing that comes to mind is that this is the natural child of a US Citizen who could not pass citizenship at birth. In this case, once the child enters the USA using an IR2 visa, to reside with the US Citizen parent, they are immediately a US Citizen. That's a case that would exempt the IR2 child. Is that the situation?
  22. pushbrk
    First, this is not a visa case. It's no case at all, because the US Citizen has taken no action. The illegal alien posting the question has no path to a green card, without a qualified sponsor. Unlawful work is forgiven in these cases, but claiming to be a US Citizen is not. Lawyer time, and be prepared for the best advice to be self deportation.
  23. pushbrk
    There isn't. You can hand write the country code after printing.

    He only needs one valid passport for the interview, but he must have a valid passport at that time.
  25. pushbrk
    Use the current passport number on the DS 260 and update at interview. You can also delay at NVC until he has the new passport.
