I'm re-thinking. Since name changes must be disclosed, you cannot file using the intended name without disclosing the other name previously used. When disclosing that name, you must document the name change. File using the current legal name(s) and do the change at the NVC stage.

As you continue, pay attention to little words like or, and, if etc. You missed the "or" applicable to complete copy of tax return OR tax return transcript.

They will "consider" the totality of circumstances but you are unlikely to qualify on the job offer alone. Your documented liquid assets will save the day.

Two bank statements will not be enough. You must show evidence of holding the funds for longer, so it is not thought to be a loan.

It was a two part question. Second part was the intention to live in the USA. You've answered that now.

Only one of them needs to have the required income. Best would be a company transfer so husband's income will continue from the same source once in the USA. That way, no need to have a joint sponsor, and the job transfer takes care of any domicile related issues.

Back to back questions on the form. First is where she'll adjust status and second is where she will apply for a visa. If you answered neither of them, the letter indicating she will apply in Mumbai, will do just fine. Did you leave the first question blank too? If so, that's fine.

Yes, that would be the solution. She must have a job and income in the USA in order to qualify as your sponsor. The only ways around that are with well over three times the income requirements in liquid assets (cash essentially) or a qualified joint sponsor.

Sure, as long as you did not indicate a location where she will adjust status in the USA.

The spouse's birth certificate is not included in the initial filing. Just enter the correct information and go ahead and file. In a year or so, you'll need the foreign spouse's birth certificate. Did you not notice it is not listed as a required document when filing for a spouse? It is for the step children, but not for the spouse.

Have you and the US Citizen decided both to marry and to live in the USA?

In reality, they will probably be processed together, as the files are electronic now. That said, yes you wait for the slowest before proceeding at NVC.

If your liquid assets (as defined in the instructions for the form) are clearly well over three times the income requirement, then state them and document them. State your "current income" as the amount on the offer letter and include the offer letter. Your spouse should be prepared to clearly explain, if asked, that you had a job transfer but have since accepted a different offer from another employer. Consular Officers have plenty of leeway to make a judgement call on these matters. Some member see using assets as some kind of "complication" but there's a place for them on the form, for a reason. Do understand though that they must be liquid and documented as held for more than just a few months. Best to send five statements or sets of statements, ones from 12, 9, 6, 3, and 0 months ago.

Receipts for airline tickets are evidence you bought a ticket, not evidence of actual travel. Passport stamps and boarding passes are evidence of travel. Receipts for hotels in spouse's country are evidence of travel.

Last resort, of course, but it is an option that works, even though expensive.

Of course they won't toss it out. EVENTUALLY, they'll connect the two filings. The difference between immediately and eventually, is something you can only guess. You are quoting the slow way of doing it. Here's the preferred way. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/concurrent-filing-of-form-i-485

You seem to be assuming they will immediately connect your two separate filings. That's an unreasonable assumption, but it might work. Do it the way you want. You CAN be assured that everything will be connected from the beginning if you do a concurrent filing.

Those are among what you've already mentioned, but no need for the travel bookings. You live together in the USA already. I talked about those when I thought you were seeking a visa.

Key to the evidence is you already have the one or more covered. In your situation, I would just leave it at that. The "any other..." is what lots of people who have never lived together concentrate on, like photos together, evidence of time spent together, and examples of how and how frequently they communicate. You don't need anything more than you've already mentioned.

PD doesn't matter. The I-130 just sits, and cannot be joined with the I-485 until it is filed. Also, the AP and EAD cannot be separated and go on their faster timeline until they are filed. Filing THOSE forms concurrently with the I-485 means no fee, but the sooner they are filed (concurrent with all) the sooner the beneficiary can work and travel internationally. Yes, I have plenty of evidence. Been here participating since 2005. Maybe check the Google...advice in my signature, AND the anonymous quote.

Before continuing, you're going to want to study the concurrent filing process. Filing just the I-130 and I-130 A without the other 6 forms will cost you time. The rest have to be filed on paper anyway. Your preference is really irrelevant in this context. It is what it is.

If there were issues of concern, they would have told him.

This will become clear when you study those instructions. Supporting documents will include evidence your relationship is bona fide. Photos together (plural) are usually part of that evidence but not the most important part.

Are you seeking an immigrant visa for your wife or is your plan to adjust status from within the USA. If she is here legally, I don't know why you would seek a visa. If you are adjusting status, I would not file the I-130 online. Instead, I would do a concurrent filing by mail, that would include the I-130 and it's supporting documents, plus the I-485, advance parole, and work authorization. And, in that case, I would focus on the evidence you have been living together for a year, and some photos. The reliability of answers you get here depends on the information you provide. My answer was related to a in immigrant visa being sought for a spouse living abroad, BECAUSE you posted in a VISA FORUM. There is a separate forum for adjusting status. Please clarify.
