What is your current income now? Do you still have the job? 2022 is the past. You do not qualify using 2022 income. Current income from a job, is calculated by multiplying your gross pay for a full pay period, times the number of pay periods in a full year. $14k would be about $ 540 every two weeks If you are still employed making the same, they your income is about 29k. How many in your household? Will the survivor benefits continue if you remarry? The equity in your primary residence is not considered liquid. While it is a part of your overall financial picture, or "totality of circumstances" it is not considered available to cover any income shortfall.

No. If it's all the same company, just list the company, start date, and current occupation. Note that occupation and title are not always the same thing. For example, MD is enough. No need to enter Pediatrician unless you want to. Surgeon, is fine even if you are chief of thoracic surgery. RN is fine. No need to enter more "titles".

I-130 CR-1, documents needed to file
pushbrk replied to Hamza Bajwa's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Both the original in Urdu AND the certified translations. -
Evidence of name change is his Naturalization Certificate. His Peruvian Birth Certificate and passport are not needed. In the other names used fields enter his original name. If you know your Father's information enter it. If something is not known, enter "Unknown". Yes, it really is that simple. You the beneficiary, have a spouse. In this case it is the petitioner. Enter the petitioner's information there and select spouse. If beneficiary has no prior marriages, enter "Not Applicable" or "NONE" First, understand that the petitioner is the one who files the I-130 petition. While it doesn't matter who is doing the typing, you must keep straight who is who. See answers inserted above.

Double proxxy marriage
pushbrk replied to Jordan_01's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Please explain exactly what you mean by "double proxy marriage", including which government jurisdiction did the marriage. -
Need to know that, and whether you are employed or self employed. Can't understand the problem without more complete information. If you have W2, then you are employed, so really need more details. Did you have some losses, or other deductions that took the "total income" number lower? Do you still have the job? What is your current income, and how did you calculate and document it?

Wife here now in US what next?
pushbrk replied to Eduardo 209's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Usually the Green card comes about about a month after after the entry, or a that after the new immigrant found fee of $220 is paid, whether whichever is later. Did you have the fee? -
Affidavit of support
pushbrk replied to 8ray's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Depends on your handwriting skill compared to your typing aptitude. Sometimes there's no choice but to do some things by hand, but the form works quite well if you use Acrobat or Adobe reader. Sucks if you try to fill it with most other apps. -
I-864 tax question (Merged)
pushbrk replied to Dan and Akari's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Either way will work, because you'll be submitting a pay stub to document your current income. For the employed, current income does NOT come from a tax return. Your current income is gross from a pay period times the number of pay periods in a year. If it was me, in this situation I would wait 3 weeks, to avoid having to update everything before the interview. -
I-864 tax question (Merged)
pushbrk replied to Dan and Akari's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Me too, 19 years ago. Made a few mistakes, but luckily none came back to bite me. -
I-864 tax question (Merged)
pushbrk replied to Dan and Akari's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
My tone is an acquired taste. 😉 It's intended to first get your attention. I see that purpose was accomplished. We intelligent, educated people have a tendency to make similar mistakes. I've seen it for the 19 years, I've been a member here and I've made them myself. One of the most common mistakes is to overthink things. The keys are to first study instructions and the questions on the forms very carefully. While doing so, it is critical to interpret literally, and answer accurately. Little things like commas, if, and, or etc. are often missed. The highly educated lawyers that approve the language in forms and instructions, use a lot of those details of the language. If you miss them, you'll make mistakes. They don't just say enter the total income, because if you file a 1040EZ, there is no total income line to use. So, the comma you missed when incorrectly concluding you were to enter the AGI number was very important. Ironically, AGI and Total income are the same number, quite often, maybe even most of the time, but not always. The I-864 is the most complicated form in the process. Be sure to carefully read the questions and instructions on the face of the forms too. -
Yes, easier in this case because the son already qualifies as sponsor, and is domiciled in the USA. Is he 21 already? Note that "what you want" is NOT a reason for expedite. You get to chose between separation and kids finishing high school in the USA. Expedites are for special circumstance, not for convenience.

Affidavit of support
pushbrk replied to 8ray's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Correct. The PDF, is built to be completed with Acrobat, or Adobe reader. I'll add that there are both a PDF file of step by step instructions to follow, AND instructions on the form. Many questions or confusions come from not heeding the instructions ON the form. Sometimes the instruction on the form is imbedded in, or part of the question itself. -
I-864 tax question (Merged)
pushbrk replied to Dan and Akari's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Yes, not only did I say enter the total income number (you only have one tax return each year) but that's also what the instructions clearly say to do. No exceptions are mentioned. Sounds like you have the income covered, as long as you stay employed. Current income is gross for a pay period times the number of pay periods in a full year. Example: Every two weeks is times 26. -
I-864 tax question (Merged)
pushbrk replied to Dan and Akari's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
The instructions you need to become an A-Student of will tell you two things. One, it's the Total Income number that you enter, unless you filed a 1040EZ. Two, you enter that number in EVERY situation, including the one you describe. In a separate area, you will indicate your "current income". Unless you are self employed, that does NOT come from a tax return. What is your "current income" as THAT will determine whether you qualify or not, unless you are using liquid assets to qualify. Current income is MOST important, but I already answered the ACTUAL question asked....plus. -
CR1 Visa Questions
pushbrk replied to Shy111's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
The question was whether she spent a year in China after she turned 16. You seemed unsure of her age "when she moved there". -
CR1 Visa Questions
pushbrk replied to Shy111's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You need to ask specifically if she lived in China for a year after her 16th birthday. If she didn't, then no Chinese police report is needed. Details matter in this situation. -
Timeframe on AoS update?
pushbrk replied to Dataunavailable's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Upload the 2023 tax return complete copy or Tax Return Transcript and a recent pay stub once you are near the interview date. -
CR1 Visa Questions
pushbrk replied to Shy111's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Did she live in China more than a year after her 16th birthday? Does she have a Czech birth certificate? -
You "look up" the information mentioned by studying the I-864 instructions. Your liquid assets will carry the day, but your wife will probably need to re-establish domicile in the USA. That's a separate issue, you can work out later, but no reason not to get started by her filing the petition. Financial forms and documents will come about a year later.
