    It is not relevant to any part of the immigration process, once the petition is filed. Nothing to update.

    No and your question is fully answered in the I-864 instructions. Become an A-Student of that document before proceeding any further.

    Yes, she can visit. Unless it is an actual job transfer within the same company, filing directly with the Consulate in Japan will not work. File ASAP. You're more than a year late already. Current timelines for spouse immigrant visa are 18 to 24 months.

    So, you "forgot" you had two of each? I don't know that there is anything to do but wait and see.

    I-130 instructions explain exactly what is needed for a step child. File whenever you want.
  6. pushbrk
    You have correctly provided the procedure but there is not need to contact an embassy to validate. I advise the petitioner not file until you have all the required documents. Your foreign spouse does not start the visa process. The US Citizen does that.

    Your brother requests a certified copy of his birth certificate from the State where he was born.

    Supporting documents for joints sponsor are covered fully in the instructions. If your brother is married, it is best practice to secure an I-864a from his spouse.

    I-130 is not cancelled and you have the choice of continuing with IR1 consular processing OR adjusting status.

    Adding a joint sponsor AFTER delays things a month or so. Based on the new facts though, I would secure a joint sponsor, if possible.

    It is perfectly fine to mix typed and hand written answers. No risk at all. Be aware though that the K3 visa is virtually obsolete. Did you already file the I-130?

    So, your wife having never met your mother is not going to work. What might work, if true, is to use the hardship to YOU, that will be relieved by your wife being here to help take care of your mother. They consider real things, not emotions. Leave your emotions out of your request, and concentrate on the hardship to your daily life that having your wife here could relieve.

    Is there a document you need and do not have? If so, what is the document?
  14. pushbrk
    Depends on how much over the 3X. If the earnings are usually enough to support you without using principal, you probably have far more than the 3X the income requirement. If so, no need for a joint sponsor. You'll get a message suggesting one, but a multimillionaire would get that message if they showed no income. Just ignore it.

    Your plan is fine. No problems. It might speed up your I-130 and it might not, but no harm in trying.
  16. pushbrk
    My thoughts exactly. In theory, it should work, but I never heard of anybody trying it. No, there is no OTHER way.
  17. pushbrk
    Terrific! So, learn how to keep that a three year proposition as soon as possible, like now.

    To say it differently, a green card is not a "super visa". It authorizes "lawful permanent resident status". You maintain permanent residency in the USA, and spend more time in the USA than out (more complicated than that) or you lose that status, commonly by being denied re-entry to the USA from an extended trip abroad. If you want to live abroad, Naturalize first.
  19. pushbrk
    The first word is IF, so "if not" just disregard.
  20. pushbrk
    Based on your travel plans, you would be wise to Google "Maintaining Permanent Resident Status USA". Don't let it scare you, but it is more complicated than simply not leaving for more than a year without a re-entry permit. Every entry by a non-citizen is a judgment call. I would advise against being gone more than six months the first time. People get away with 6 to 12 months ONCE, but not so often twice, unless there are special circumstances.
  21. pushbrk
    No clear guidance on this, but it makes sense to me to have the one with the higher W2 income be the joint sponsor.
  22. pushbrk
    If it clearly shows the offence and the outcome, that meets the requirement.
  23. pushbrk
    Looks good.
  24. pushbrk
    Send the joint sponsor's W-2 and 1099 forms, and an explanation for why you were not required to file a tax return. That you were not IN the USA is not a reason. The ONLY reason is if your income was below the filing threshold. So, no W2 or 1099 forms because your income was foreign. Explain that.

    She must be able to show clear intention to re-establish domicile in the USA at the NVC stage. Note the word "can't" is much more absolute than the word "need". In your interview, choose your words carefully enough they are "accurate" and "true". Nobody is going to believe, she "can't" go to the USA without you. However it IS true, you cannot use your visa to enter before she does.
