    Certainly need a consultation with an AWA experienced Immigration Attorney, who may well advise against even attempting to move forward with US Immigration.

    Is this the same police certificate you already uploaded to CEAC? If so, just explain what happened. The can already see what's been uploaded. Worst case, they'll ask for a new one, but I doubt it.

    The process is taking almost two years now. No need to "wait" to start the process. Again, the two years is not about when you file the petition. It's when the spouse immigrant enters the USA. Neither what you originally said, or what you said you meant, reflect truth.

    Why was the case denied?

    "Got approved" is not applicable. You avoid removing conditions by ENTERING THE USA, two years or more after marriage.

    You are NOT required to have joint leases. You are reading that FOLLOWING the words, "In addition to the required....." and followed by "should" and "one or more". If your income will continue from the same source once you immigrate, then YOUR income can be counted and you do NOT need a joint sponsor.

    The medical is before the interview, but you cannot get it until you have an interview date. You are now waiting for NVC to review documents, and put you in the queue for an interview.

    Thanks for the clarification. WIFE needs to do the homework.

    Exactly what you need for stepchild is detailed in the I-130 instructions. No, not exactly the same. Since you did not file for your step daughter, her process is going to be just as long as your wife's and they will not be coming together. Should have done your homework the first time. Get on it now.

    If him working and traveling is important, the solution is to marry and follow the spouse visa route. Of course, you must marry first.

    There's one possible correspondence from USCIS that would not come by email, and that is an RFE. They notify you by email that one is coming, but you won't know what's in it, unless it is received by mail. There are a couple other times in the process, where a US mailing address is useful, in completing later forms. In this case, a simple official forward order (to a US Address) is probably sufficient. USCIS is not very efficient at changing petitioner addresses.

    It is not yet clear what you have or have not done for your daughter already. Has her I-130 been filed and approved already?

    You can submit anything. It would be helpful though if there was a way to connect the username to you.

    The I-485 is not used in a spouse visa case. Are you seeking a visa through Seoul, or adjusting status from within the USA? Yes you can submit a scan to a different size paper, but they actually will accept the A4 Here's what you need. I do not see any Consulate listed as a place to get them. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/SouthKorea.html

    This is the correct advice, but never forget that although only the latest tax return is required to be submitted, information from three years must be supplied. Many incorrectly assume that they must have three years of qualifying income. That is usually true in Mumbai, but not other places. Further, for an employed person, "current income" does NOT come from a tax return. Take your gross, for a full pay period (Use a pay stub.) times the number of pay periods in a full year. That's your current income. 1k a week is 52k a year. Simple stuff.

    No reason to include the joint bank account, if you really haven't co-mingled your finances. Throw those affidavits away though. If you have joint lease and joint utility bills, and live together, you have it covered just fine.

    Then provided you already filed two petitions and paid two $325 IV fees to NVC, you will pay for two medical exams, then after the visas are issued, two $220 New Immigrant fees. Then, if they enter the US before your second wedding anniversary, two years later you'll pay two $765 removal of conditions fees. (or whatever the fee is at that time) That's the end of required fees. Naturalization for US Citizenship is optional, but not free.

    If you are a US Citizen and this is your wife, and step child, then the $1,000 sounds like TWO medical exam fees. It's a medical exam you are paying for. Whether they do biometrics as part of that, is irrelevant. Did you file two petitions, and two $325 immigrant visa fees to NVC. If not, the child is not coming with your wife. Please clarify.

    It's going to be critical for you to study and become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions, which answer your last question quite well. I advise against relying on asking questions INSTEAD of using the instructions. Without studying the instructions, you will never know WHAT you DON'T know, so won't know what to ask.
  20. pushbrk
    Correct. I will add that my recommendation is to leave the savings where they are for now. Show them as yours, so you can also show some examples of statements going back a year. This is so they know it has been yours that long, not just a gift from, say, her parents, so they don't have to sign the joint sponsor contract. Yes, this happens. You do know the minimum amount is 3 times the income requirement. Right?
  21. pushbrk
    You've been given a way to avoid starting over, if you can actually make that work. Starting over will not look suspicious. The next I-130 will ask if you filed a petition before. Answer and explain. No problem.

    This part of the discussion is not applicable to the OP's question and does not fit the purpose of this forum. If you have nothing to add that's helpful, I suggest you refuse from instigating strife.

    First, determine if your son is entitled to US Citizenship at birth. If you are a lifelong US Citizen, just assume he is. What you do is apply for his Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and his US passport. You've been given a link to the information. Here's the specific link for the US Embassy in Dominican Republic. https://do.usembassy.gov/consular-report-of-birth-abroad-ecrba/ Now....get busy reading and following instructions.

    Not received, probably just means they haven't opened the package yet. When they do, they will create a case and email you. They don't have an immediate log of what they have "received". Think of it like they have cartons of envelopes sitting in a warehouse unopened. They don't know whose cases are in those cartons until the do something with them.

    The course of action is to respond to the RFE with as plenty of relevant relationship evidence, and as you go forward, stop "being given to believe". Instead, believe and follow the actual instructions. Each form has them. Become an A-Student of both the forms AND their instructions before proceeding. Are you the petitioner or the foreign spouse? The RFE would have been sent to the petitioner and it is THEIR responsibility to respond.
