    Terrific! So, learn how to keep that a three year proposition as soon as possible, like now.

    To say it differently, a green card is not a "super visa". It authorizes "lawful permanent resident status". You maintain permanent residency in the USA, and spend more time in the USA than out (more complicated than that) or you lose that status, commonly by being denied re-entry to the USA from an extended trip abroad. If you want to live abroad, Naturalize first.

    The first word is IF, so "if not" just disregard.

    Based on your travel plans, you would be wise to Google "Maintaining Permanent Resident Status USA". Don't let it scare you, but it is more complicated than simply not leaving for more than a year without a re-entry permit. Every entry by a non-citizen is a judgment call. I would advise against being gone more than six months the first time. People get away with 6 to 12 months ONCE, but not so often twice, unless there are special circumstances.

    No clear guidance on this, but it makes sense to me to have the one with the higher W2 income be the joint sponsor.

    If it clearly shows the offence and the outcome, that meets the requirement.

    Looks good.

    Send the joint sponsor's W-2 and 1099 forms, and an explanation for why you were not required to file a tax return. That you were not IN the USA is not a reason. The ONLY reason is if your income was below the filing threshold. So, no W2 or 1099 forms because your income was foreign. Explain that.

    She must be able to show clear intention to re-establish domicile in the USA at the NVC stage. Note the word "can't" is much more absolute than the word "need". In your interview, choose your words carefully enough they are "accurate" and "true". Nobody is going to believe, she "can't" go to the USA without you. However it IS true, you cannot use your visa to enter before she does.

    I've answered this question countless times. It is best practice for the spouse of a joint sponsor, to provide an I-864a no matter what the rest of the circumstances may be.

    Biggest concern is how the two of you communicate. If it's in French, no problem.

    No need to translate any documents in Turkish at this stage of the process anyway. USCIS, yes. Consulate in same country as document, no.
  13. pushbrk
    See bold above.

    You can, but it is not necessary in this situation.

    Let's see if I understand this. Since we are talking about a spouse case, the beneficiary MUST be legally and lawfully married to the Petitioner, so stating they are married is correct. Are you talking about a prior marriage, that the beneficiary thought was legal but really wasn't? Please clarify.

    The solution is to simply check the box near where the information about past tax returns is entered. It's how you indicate you did not file because your income was below the filing threshold all three years. That's sufficient, but you could also hand write, "Student, no income."

    Whoa! Police reports in the local language where the interview takes place do NOT need translations. However, the applicable document is available in English anyway, if the applicant so chooses. (actually several languages). If the website isn't working, try again over the next couple days. If still no good, she has the option to go to the National Police office and request it directly.
  18. pushbrk
    Yes, you can. If you increase your hours at the job you keep, just make sure your wife has a copy of your more current pay stub with her at the interview. If she is asked about your jobs, she must tell the truth, but the subject may not come up.

    Then if you got an RFE asking for YOUR court records, it is be cause you have a sex crime against a minor in your record. No other criminal record would prompt such a request. If this is correct, hire a lawyer now with experience dealing with Adam Walsh Act cases, or expect your petition to be denied.
  20. pushbrk
    What are your respective ages? Please give same information for the first marriage. I did not say "first date". I said "first visit". Please clarify.
  21. pushbrk
    Are you the petitioner (US Citizen) or the foreign spouse?
  22. pushbrk
    What you should do, and I mean this as kindly as possible, is to do nothing at all. Let the sponsor and joint sponsor deal with this. An I-864a from a intending immigrant who is the spouse of a US citizen petitioner NEVER provides an I-864a. Really, NEVER. I suspect you are misinterpreting what you read. I'll be happy to explain how you misinterpreted if you'll post the exact wording of the message that makes you think an I-864 is being requested from you. Leave out the names. Replace them with "me" or "husband".

    If you are living in the USA now (when you submit the I-864, simply state your current US address and indicate your domicile is in the USA. Domicile evidence is for people not living in the USA currently, or for joint sponsors.

    YOU are the beneficiary's spouse two places on that page. NONE for second spouse and NO CHILDREN in first child's name field will do nicely.
  25. pushbrk
    Your explanation in the text field is sufficient, but if you have a copy of the letter, there is no harm in including it.
