  1. If you need to update your I-864 with your latest tax return information, surely do so, but yes, you can ignore that message.
  2. OK. That was the wrong way to do it anyway. Your wife should do an I-864 with only you and her as a two person household. Then, Dad provides his own I-864 with only you and him as a two person household. Will that put his income comfortably above the requirement for two people?
  3. As you carefully read instructions, pay special attention to words like "if", "and", "or" etc. They are there for a reason. Interpret literally and answer accurately. You asked about things that do not apply, based on missing an "if".
  4. His attempts to get a student and visitor visa, will tend to counter your evidence of bona fide relationship. There is a very good chance that at least the fact he is seeking a fiancé visa, will become known by some of his associates, during the security check stage after the visa interview. Very possible YOUR name will be mentioned during the security check stage also.
  5. Not sure why you think they are at NVC stage. He asked about USCIS. Relationship evidence is definitely advised when filing the petition. It is mentioned in the instructions. "Meeting requirements" apply for proxy marriages and K1 visas only. If not a proxy marriage, the marriage certificate is all the evidence they need of legal and lawful marriage. The other evidence is about the relationship. Instructions list categories of evidence to add, and say the petitioner "should submit one or more....".
  6. USCIS will not accept anything in Spanish without a certified translation. Boarding passes will be in English. Just translate the rental agreement. The rest you mentioned is not "evidence" or "proof" of anything. With boarding passes, you do not need useless itineraries. Later, at NVC stage, documents in Spanish are accepted.
  7. This notice should usually be ignored. It's just saying the number from the latest tax return is insufficient. Sounds like the income is mostly or all NOT taxable, so is documented with award letters from retirement income sources. Your wrinkle is that the affidavit is no longer up to date. If the father is unclear about survivor benefits, perhaps that will become clear well before the interview. If so, upload an updated affidavit of support from Dad. You did provide TWO I-864 forms, one from the Petitioner and one from the joint sponsor, right? Start over with new forms and see how the actual income looks now.
  8. What did the review note say exactly? If you notice the words "may" and "Consular Officer will decided" just ignore it.
  9. I recommend carrying original I-134 to the interview, and for the beneficiary to have a hard copy of everything with them for the interview.
  10. Yes, LBC for Philippines if available. Otherwise DHL is fully reliable and less expensive than FedEx
  11. Yeah, no need to mess with the Consular Unit. Deal with it at or after US Entry. The ten year green card is not determined by what the visa says. It's the entry date that matters. Yes, it was a mistake, but NOW is not the time to correct it.
  12. I agree their time together in person is critical, but your assertion of a "within two years" requirement to file an I-130 still needed to be corrected.
  13. The petitioner is the primary sponsor, but does not count in her father's household, even if she lives there. (Unless he's claiming her as a dependent on his tax return). What exactly did you read that lead you to think you were informed your joint sponsor does not meet the sponsorship income requirements? Did your wife complete an I-864 with her parent or parents as HER household members?
  14. I get your point. I'm also self employed. However, typing the words "joint sponsor" is "easy". Finding one you are willing to ask to obligate themselves to what seems a pretty daunting contract, is not so easy, particularly for we independent and proud types.
  15. Good chance you can't add a non-resident, and in most cases, that would be very expensive. Each plan has its own rules and policies. I was able to add my spouse to a corporate plan based on her arrival using a K3 visa in combination with a marriage certificate. Some plans won't add without a SS number. It's not that they "can't". It's just their policy.
  16. Yes, and opens the same can of worms, with little chance of success.
  17. There is no requirement to have been together in person in the last two years, for a spouse case. That's for a fiancée case. Time together in person is important to show a bona fide relationship, surely, but no two year requirement in this context.
  18. You seem to be asking if filing the I-130 will impact your UK citizenship process. This forum is not full of experts on that subject. Your UK citizenship process will not impact the US immigration process though. From the US side, I know lots of people seek US Citizenship for their foreign spouse, precisely so that they can become expats elsewhere without worries of losing a green card and the ability to visit or return to the USA. Don't know why the UK would care about your future intentions, if you qualify for citizenship now.
  19. It's not a matter of "desperate". Most expedite requests are. The issue is that the beneficiary has entered into the marriage for an immigration benefit related to their mother, instead of a bona fide relationship with the petitioner.
  20. Without adequate information, we cannot advise you properly. So....follow the five steps.
  21. Consulates don't use the local post office. It will be a courier.
  22. NO. The "mailbox" is not the issue. If they have "mail" or courier deliveries, he has an address. It may not be what you're used to, but they have something that works. My road doesn't have a name. My address is Red Gate yellow house, small area name, district, town, province, country, postal code. It's an address. I get deliveries here often. You already used the foreign address on the I-130, RIGHT?
  23. Your interview will be scheduled by the National Visa Center. You must have the interview letter (email) from NVC, before you can schedule the medical. You would have already submitted your PCC to NVC. What is your status at NVC?
  24. If he has a history of short visits, then visiting during an ongoing immigrant visa process, is of little concern to CBP officers.
