  1. Not a problem, just clearly not the proper thing to do.
  2. Exactly. There a few artifacts in the instructions. For this, just do it.
  3. Enter today's date. Do NOT enter a signature date. There's no signature.
  4. It really does work, but it will populate the data from earlier entered data. You cannot type in those fields. Let them populate. https://get.adobe.com/reader/
  5. All good answers above, but they assume you and your husband cannot qualify based on assets alone. Take the income requirement for your household size and multiply by 3. That is the minimum amount of liquid assets you'll need to qualify based on assets alone. Note that you MUST "qualify" in some way or have a joint sponsor, or there will be no progress towards even a visa interview.
  6. Interpret literally. If it doesn't make sense, just do it anyway. Write or print the name. There is no request for a "signature".
  7. Correct answer is today's date. It will not be misunderstood.
  8. We commonly get asked to comment about a poster's interpretation of a notice or message of some kind. Often the interpretations are incorrect. With the actual wording combined with knowledge of the process, things get cleared up pretty quickly. A little different situation here, but same result.
  9. Not the same as charge. Sound like the letter described the purpose of the inquiry, not any "charge" like any "in context" translation would indicate. Sounds like a "no" to any questions about "arrest". She was never arrested and never charged with any crime. They investigated a possible crime and concluded there was no crime committed.
  10. What country and language? What's the word in the original language?
  11. You said she wasn't arrested. If that's true, she also would not have been charged. Check the record to be sure you answer correctly, but do not worry about this being grounds to deny the visa. Lying might be, but not the circumstances as you describe them.
  12. I ALWAYS recommend paper filing, because of this and other glitches in the online filing process. But, if you want to just leave those spaces blank, that will be fine too.
  13. So you are not missing the "or". It's the "if" you have interpreted correctly. However, "should have completed" does not mean "must submit". You did, so the necessary information is in your IRS Tax Return Transcript.
  14. Provided it is a Tax RETURN Transcript, you do not ALSO submit a complete tax return including all schedules. Pay attention to the little word "or" in instructions. It's often missed.
  15. If your husband retires and starts receiving that retirement income BEFORE you submit the affidavit of support (a year or so from now) then yes, you can. You submit these required forms. I-130 and I-130a in the beginning. Everything else is later. A year or more later.
  16. Interesting to know. The problems I see with the visa for the lab, is that all the rest of her family are US Citizens, so her ties are to them. She's not leaving the twin sons in Europe. DCF is the way to go if they can swing it, then maybe reschedule the lab.
  17. Any applicable instruction would have been on the previous page. Just leave it blank if you can.
  18. To be clear for readers... 1. Expiration dates that appear on police reports are not important to Consular Officers. They only care about the issue date being no older than their current standard. That has changed over time from six, to 12, and now to 24 months. 2. For countries of FORMER residence, not returned to since ceasing residence there, the police reports can be obtained at any time. As long as it is the correct document, they are not considered "expired" no matter how old they are. 3. Police reports are NEVER needed for the USA.
  19. Yes, you'll need a lawyer for the criminal case, and once resolved, should consult a competent US Immigration attorney familiar with family based immigration. When you do, don't explain as vaguely as you did above. "Extreme circumstances" have nothing at all to do with guilt. She knew she got the advance and knew she didn't pay it back, reasons or not.
  20. Yes, this email is your notice of interview.
  21. No. I was not wrong. I'm helping and clarifying. I have no personal bone to pick with you. See large bold above. Correct.
  22. "Certificates"? Any certificate needed for any country other than the current country of residence, can be gotten any time. If it is "certificate" (singular) get it around the time you expect your I-130 to be approved, OR as soon as it is approved, if it can be obtained quickly.
  23. We often get questions about "marriage license". By definition, that document is secured prior to marriage, when required. For US Immigration, what is needed is the local equivalent of a "Marriage Certificate" that can only be obtained AFTER being legally and lawfully married. The actual name and issuing agency varies by country. Mike E has provided the information and answer to your direct question. Having a third party ask questions about one's case is an inefficient way to get help. Best for your friend to ask instead of you doing it for them.
