The interview is for the visa applicant only. In most cases, you are not allowed in the room. In some cases, not allowed in the building. You can always go back sooner and start working, but you will need to be working long enough to get a paycheck for a full pay period, before filing the affidavit of support. The case will not make progress through NVC without it.

You have not given any reason for the transfer. Is your wife a resident or Citizen of Thailand? If not, you have no basis for transferring.

Your hope for a future with your intended husband is totally in your own control. If the financial sponsorship seems like an issue now, then you have plenty of time to take care of the major issues at hand at the moment. When you are finally able to meet, and still both want to marry and have him immigrate to the USA, you'll have plenty of time to CHANGE your financial situation with a new job. USCIS and Dept. of State are only allowed to act with sympathy under certain circumstances. Unless those circumstances exist, their feelings are irrelevant. There are always practical (including financial) consideration and sometimes hurdles involved in starting a life together. Consider them together and find solutions together. As you consider and find, you are likely to find hope as you progress.

I expect you can do without the marriage certificate unless it is evidence of name change. But, I would take it anyway.

Some card companies, (Capital One, for example) will initially decline many online charges, until you acknowledge their email or text about it. Call the number on the back of the card, and explain what you are doing. The agent can flip a switch that allows the charge the next time you try.

You are interpreting that one line as a firm request, but you do not quote enough of the instructions before that to determine proper context. There ARE situations where a female petitioner would provide a prior marriage certificate, as evidence of a name change due to marriage. On the other hand, is getting the marriage certificate a big problem?

If you are self employed, your current income is stated based on the "total income" line of your latest filed US Federal Tax Return. There is no way around that. You now know that the year you sponsor an immigrant is not a year to show too little income on your tax return, but too late now. If you have to wait until July, so be it. It's that or get a joint sponsor. AGI and Total Income numbers are sometimes the same, but thinking you use the AGI line means you didn't read carefully enough. You missed everything that told you the one and only circumstance where AGI is applicable.

Just photocopies.

Petitioner's birth certificate is only applicable if it's being used as evidence of US Citizenship,, but applicant should have a copy of the birth certificate with them, anyway. Take everything.

The issue you are facing is that USCIS does not issue visas. No visa has been applied for yet. Once you hear from the National Visa Center, you will have some documentation related to actually applying for a visa.

A link to the guide has been provided. Start there. 18 to 24 months is the proper expectation for when you will have an immigrant visa and can move to the USA.

That would be the solution. It is NOT correct that a job offer will carry the day on this. File the petition. You will state your employment status, but it is not a criteria for petition approval. In about a year, but before the petition is approved, would be the best time to return to the USA and go to work. Returning after the petition is approved is also OK, but that will delay the process, as you will not be able to get into the interview queue until your affidavit of support is submitted and accepted. You need at least one pay stub for a full pay period to document your new current income at that time.

USCIS is not involved at this stage of the OP's process. An interview is scheduled already. USCIS does not issue visas. That is the Dept. of State's job. That said, a photocopy of a Certified Copy of the divorce decree mentioned should already have been included in the I-130 filing. Taking a copy to the interview is a good idea, as is taking a copy of everything submitted. The OP's question is about whether they need an Apostille in addition to the Certified Copy. The answer is no. Nothing submitted as part of the US visa process, needs an Apostille.

In that case, you will be able to get a Certificate of No Marriage, CENOMAR from PSA. That and the Marriage Certificate and evidence of being together during or after the marriage, will do instead of the CEMAR.

No need to obligate your mother. You qualify easily. Best to create a new I-864 stating zero income, and stating the current value of the accounts. Upload along with at least the current statements. You can carry the past statements to the interview.

So YOU are the US Citizen. Your male fiance was married to a Filipina before, and divorced in the USA? For the USA, there is no Federal or National registration of marriage. Your marriage certificate from the State of Utah/Utah County is all you will need as evidence you are legally and lawfully married. The Filipino or Filipina to which you are married, will not be able to get a CEMAR from the PSA showing you are the only registered spouse. The Certified Copy of Divorce Decree obtained in the USA, will be satisfy USCIS and later the Consular Officer.

That much in liquid assets will carry the day with zero income. Should be no need for a joint sponsor. Do include statements for the accounts. One from a year ago, and one each three months up to the most current. They want evidence this is YOUR money, not a "loan" etc.
