In places where lost or never provided vaccination records are common, the civil surgeons usually have a ready way to deal with this at interview, and can determine what is needed, as part of the exam process. At least one common vaccine leaves a scar and others, they can pretty much determine from the interview, with information about their age, exactly where they lived as a child, and their knowledge of local vaccination processes.

Some general help. The form works best when using Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Anything you must enter but cannot type in the form, can simply be hand written after printing. The only reason to send more than the most recent tax return would be if it makes things look better. Sounds like it won't. Adjusted Gross Income is not what you use. Use "Total Income". Yes, sometimes it's the same number.

You will also be uploading each document to the place it goes, so they will be expecting to see the foreign spouse's birth certificate, where they told you to upload it. If it's an applicant document, they already know it's Mary's, so Mary Birth Cert would be a fine way to name it. Keep it simple. I'll add that I've never seen this question, since joining in 2005. Keep it simple.

That's a lot of questions, most of which are answered well in the official instructions you download same place as the form(s). First, become an A-Student of those instructions and the form itself. You may still have questions and we'll be here for you, but this is a do it yourself site, with emphasis on the "do it" including your "homework". If you need a joint sponsor, and they are married, the complete their own I-864 and it is best practice for their joint tax filing spouse to provide an I-864a, whether they have income or not, and whether their income is needed or not. It's a contract. Consular Officers want both spouses to sign it.

But we are talking about spouse visas, so the required I-130a DOES still ask for 5 years employment history. It's a 2021 form though.

That's your choice but it would make your comments more meaningful. I'm just trying to understand if there has been some actual "change". For now, there is simply not enough information to draw any conclusion.

We can "disagree". 🙃

But....How long have you been with your current employer???

Still no need for translation. Consular Officers in Juarez are fluent in Spanish. No Spanish Language document needs translation for Juarez. PERIOD. They will understand the "legalese" much better in the original language. If (probably) it needs to be fully analyzed, it will go to an actual "lawyer" who reviews such things as needed, who is an actual assigned employee of the Consulate, and fully prepared to deal with Spanish "legalese". Side note, I spent a few hours in the actual home of the General Counsel for the Guangzhou Consulate a few years ago. They are fully prepared to deal with such things.

Not even NVC requires an accompanying translation of a Spanish document, for a Mexico case. Yes, upload the document.

But you DID enter at least CURRENT employment information. To determine whether your circumstances represent any "change" would depend on how long you've been at your current job. If work at the same place 20 years (for example) and you enter your current employment information, you also provided 20 years of employment history. Please clarify for the benefit of the discussion.

And you are correct, for Spanish documents, but out of context. The OP was confused in the beginning, so out of context replies, are not helpful.

Not applicable to documents in Spanish, when interviewing in Mexico. You would have translated documents sent to USCIS.

I think you mean by "they" NVC. DS 260 is a "visa application". NVC may have found it "acceptable" but only Consular Officers at interview can "approve" a "visa application".

If the start date of your current employment was long enough ago, the form would not ask for more. Just answer what it asks.

Schedule medical exam only at an authorized place. If it's authorized, and not in Mumbai, it's OK. You have an official list of options, right?

There is no "hoping" involved when you follow the official instructions. If you decide to use a services, compare what you get, to what you now know is required.

If you obtain the correct certificate, there is no further authentication, etc. If you obtain the wrong one, nothing will make it ok. Follow only the instructions you will find here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Thailand.html

And further, any correspondence about an immigrant visa case, would come from the Immigrant Visa Unit, not the Embassy staff, or even the Consular Staff, in general. Correct answer is already given. Applicant updates the address during the interview.

His address being a prison, with a start date far more than five years ago will do just fine for that. There is no requirement to provide evidence to verify your current or past addresses.

"Call the courts". That's how you get it, but there are no actual USCIS requirements. Your attorney is incompetent, in my opinion. Most "immigration lawyers" don't do family based immigration. If they did, they would not ask for these records, unless there was a reason to think there was a sex crime against a child. Now, if YOU, the foreign spouse, had almost ANY criminal record with ANY prison time, there would be no visa. My other concern here is that YOU are the one asking, instead of the Petitioner, you know, the attorney's actual client.

Depends on the exact wording of the request. The records come from the court where he was convicted, not from a "background check". If they lawyer says they are needed, the lawyer knows how to get them.

No. If the lawyer asked for it, the lawyer knows what it is and how to get it. However, the only criminal record that would matter for the US Citizen Petitioner is if it involved a sex crime against a child. If the lawyer thinks otherwise, he's a fool. There are NO questions on the forms or ever in the process about the US Citizen's criminal record, UNLESS....USCIS finds a record that falls under the Adam Walsh Act. If your husband has a sex crime against a child on his record, halt all action now, and consult an attorney, who is experienced dealing with those issues in connection with family immigration to the USA. If he served 20 years in prison for a crime against a child, you are never going to get a spouse visa. You want to be together, it will need to be somewhere besides the USA, that will accept HIM as an immigrant.

Don't confuse filing a petition that will surely be "closed" with "applying for a visa".

You are so confused, you have confused me. This is the spouse visa forum of visajourney.com. Nothing in your question makes any sense in that context. Further, there are lots of sources of "advice". File correctly, and there is LITTLE chance of an RFE. There is NO chance of receiving any kind of a "stamp" in 5 to 7 months in a visa case. Is your wife adjusting status from WITHIN THE USA? Those are the conditions under which your post makes a little sense.
