  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.)
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Now is the time to do your homework for the next phase at National Visa Center. Start by clicking on the word Guides, at the top of any page here.
  11. 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.
  12. Yes, your income is close to triple what you need to qualify.
  13. Correct. Essentially, they are counted until they become citizens. The question is about obligation, not the immigrant's needs.
  14. Correct. It really doesn't matter who the typist is, but the petitioner is the one who signs the affidavit of support, and the one who has the information in their head, that is needed to complete it. You/they can use the old PDF file and just edit in the changes.
  15. A USCIS slowdown does not stop visas from being issued. USCIS does not issue visas.
  16. No. Just include your daughter in your household size when you do the affidavit of support at the NVC stage, and your spouse will include her in her family when completing the visa application at NVC stage.
  17. Please note that USCIS does not "approve" or issue any kind of visas. That's Dept. of State.
  18. You are talking about a USCIS adjudicating officer, not a Consular Officer. The number of people seen per shift is very different. and Removal of Conditions is a different animal altogether. In this specific forum, the discussion is about getting a spouse visa.
  19. "Someone online" is a very well known source of misleading information. Senior members here are not "someone online".
  20. Respectfully, relationship evidence is "evidence", not pleasure reading. To each their own, but Consular Officers are not into pleasure reading. They don't have time for it.
  21. Most affidavits from other people about your relationship don't help at all. Usually, they hurt, as they seem contrived. Concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person.
  22. If the address changes during the I-130 approval process, do nothing until the NVC stage. At that stage provide the new address. She will give a new and updated address history. No problem. No worries.
  23. Of course they are. Nobody in the administration has ever even hinted of any changes to impact the immigration of spouses of US Citizens.
  24. Here we use "AOS" to mean either Affidavit of Support or Adjustment of Status. You must follow the context to apply the correct meaning. He will need to disclose the previous petition by answering the applicable I-130 question honestly and simply. "I-129F filed, visa issued, married and divorced with dates for filing and divorce. Yes any persons sponsored in getting the initial green card will count in his household size for the Affidavit of Support (AOS) this time unless they are already US Citizens. Evidence of time spent together in person carries more weight than comingling of finances does, when the two have never lived in the same country.
