    If your wife is not "in" the USA, passport photos of her are not needed but they are for you.

    The beneficiary does not ever provide an I-864a. Petitioner should become an A-Student of the I-864 and it's separate instructions. In this case there would be an I-864 from the USC spouse, and also one from the qualified "joint sponsor". and if married, an I-864a from the joint sponsor's spouse. One way around this is for the couple to qualify on liquid assets of more than three times the income requirement.

    Nothing like that is used for IR1 or CR1 visa appointments. NVC makes those and notifies you.

    Nothing

    Depends on if she HAS and 1099. Not all do.

    Great. I'm just making sure the OP understands this. Cheers.
  8. pushbrk
    Certainly.

    Yes, just correct the form and send again.

    What you quoted above is from 2018 and was true then. Now, there must be exceptional circumstances, as these "field offices" don't exist for this purpose anymore. That changed in 2019 or 2020.

    Look at it this way. If you lost your job yesterday, your current income is zero, no matter what any tax return says. If you got a new JOB yesterday paying 50k, your current income is 50k. For an employed person, tax returns are about the past, not "current".

    First "Elderly" sponsors are not usually the best choice as joint sponsor. By "elderly" I do not just mean "retired". The reason is because they may not be around to fulfill the obligations of the contract contained in the I-864. Second, sponsors trying to qualify based on equity in real estate, face the complication of "liquidity" explained fully in the I-864 instructions. If possible, I would suggest finding an "employed" sponsor. If not possible, come back to the USA and become the employed sponsor before you submit the I-864. You do not need to wait until you have the CRBA to start your spouse's immigration process by filing the I-130.

    The "research" you need is in the I-864 instructions, which mention and define "liquid assets" and explain "why".

    I've seen this misinterpretation a few times. Your brain seems to be inserting a "the" before the bold part of your quote, that is not there. Not "the five years, but ANY 5 years with one of those five years being after turning 14. Just helped a good friend get a CRBA, who has also not lived in the USA for 7 years but lived in the USA 45 years, 31 of which were after he turned 14.

    Thank you for the specifics. If you want meaningful advice here, give meaningful, accurate information instead of being vague. In this case, your specific information actually contradicts what you actually wrote.

    This also is described in the I-864 instructions. Becoming an A-Student of those instructions is critical to your ultimate success. This should be clear to your husband, not that he already did not follow them. The form asks for three years of information from tax returns. This cannot be skipped, but only the latest "tax return transcript" needs to be actually provided. Do you or your husband actually understand what a tax return transcript is? My doubt is because most people don't have a reason to have one. Instead, they typically have a copy of their tax return. Tax Return Transcripts are ordered from the IRS. Just as easy to order 3 as to order 1.

    Never suggest a member lie to immigration officials. Maybe you were just suggesting they make a reception a priority???

    I see that, but they DID complete the AOS process after the K1 entry. If the REALLY didn't live together, there's fraud involved in getting the green card. Also, if she's no longer in the USA, she won't count in his household size. I'm going to amend my comments by saying it is certainly possible (depending on the details) for the first immigration process to cause problems with a second. He'll have to convince both USCIS and the Consular Officer he's in a real marriage now, and was the first time too.

    I'm not sure what that means. The OP said nothing about not living together with his ex wife in the USA. They must have, if she adjusted status. What will carry over is the ex is going to be counted in his household size, because the I-864 will still be in force for her, unless she has left the USA. Other than that, there should be no delay and no reason for rejection. A little more scrutiny may be given to the bona fides of the relationship, but if they are living together in Hungary, that will pretty much cover those concerns.

    Yeah, the biggest difference is in the time to get your hands on a "Certified Copy" of the marriage certificate. Usually fast in the US, but varies by state. Ontario is notoriously slow. Otherwise, no pros or cons really. Remember to indicate you are coming for a visit, not coming to get married. Both are true, but one will likely raise additional questions.
  21. pushbrk
    Was it a "tax return transcript" you sent or one of the other "transcripts"?
  22. pushbrk
    My take is that this might cause an RFE and it might not. RFEs delay cases a month or so. If it will take longer than that to get it corrected, I would go ahead and file, and have the corrected one ready when needed. Tell the truth on the forms.
  23. pushbrk
    What is needed is described clearly in the I-864 instructions, your husband should have studied the first time, and must study now.
  24. pushbrk
    Yes, that is allowed by the USA. How you go about getting approval to stay in South Africa is another matter not related to the US immigration process. You will still need to qualify as the sponsor. Will your income continue during your stay abroad and from the same source once you come back to the USA?

    Note that you have misstated the purpose of that list. First, it follows the words, "In addition to the required....." and then continues "suggesting" that you should submit "one or more....". In cases like yours it will mostly be the last one, "any other....". Concentrate on evidence of time together in person, like passport stamps, and/or boarding passes and some photos.
