Depends on how stable your finances look. If you need an accountant, perhaps you'll be fine. The year you plan to sponsor an immigrant is not the year, you delay filing a tax return, but that's water under the bridge.

To accompany your written statement of intent, yes. Those statements are evidence you CAN re-establish domicile. Your written signed statement is evidence you WILL.

THAT "someone" is wrong.

Your question is kind of confusing, but from what I understand, you would remove everything financial and replace with a new and updated I-864 from your wife and I-864a from her mother. That works if they NEED to combine income. If they don't, and mother qualifies on her own then she should be a joint sponsor, not an income combining household member. It doesn't matter why you changed or even if they know you changed. What matters is what they see, is sufficient. There's a good chance you'll need to update again, as once the interview is complete, you are likely a year or more from visa issue.

Yes and no. Ask for US Visa photos. Yes they are two by two (inches) but also 5 X 5 centimeters. Key is also white or off white background and size of face in photo etc. Expect any photo studio to know how to do a US Visa photo. I needed one recently as an actual passport photo, when renewing US passport here in the Philippines.

The answer really depends on the government unit that issues the certified copy. It varies from court to court which would be county to county. That something was handed to you in court, does not mean it is necessarily a certified copy. You have what you need now, so no further explanation is necessary.,

Me to. AFTER the interview date is in hand.

Most likely a short letter explaining you own a home and business in the USA, and declaring your intent to come back and live in that home, will be sufficient. Include evidence of the home and business ownership.

Well, they approved something. Please come back and tell us whether you receive the 10 year card he IS entitled to.

You scan and upload "passport style" photos of the beneficiary (visa applicant). Where the visa applicant lives, these photos may well be referred to as "visa photos" as they are needed with visa applications, and may well be quite different than the photos needed for that country's passport applications. They are the SAME as what is needed for US passport applications. Many confuse "passport photo" with photo of a passport, which must ALSO be uploaded to CEAC. That should clear it up for you.

Unless it was India, or they were self employed, I expect you misunderstood.

if your vaccination documents are not in the local language where the medical exam will be done, they will need to be translated. Otherwise, no. Those documents are for the panel physician, not the interview. For the interview, you will have the medical exam results in the local language already.

Seconding. US Citizens never "immigrate" to the USA. The answer is no.

Unless you are self employed, the tax section is just informational. You are not required to qualify for the past three years. You are required to qualify NOW.

Not an issue. No worries. Do nothing.

If you are confident your current income is sufficient, ignore the message but do have the 2023 tax return available at the interview. There is no "have to" in that message. The applicable term used is "may".

Just "print to pdf". You can then print the PDF to paper anytime.

Be aware, Consular Officers will not care one little bit about your company's vacation policy. Make a few visits before you marry, or before you file. Everybody's in a hurry, but nobody is in a hurry to be denied. If you want to be together, then do what is necessary to overcome the obstacles. They won't disappear because you have a reason visiting is difficult.

On that subject,(since already off topic) ironically, since the traffic laws are rarely even read or known about, here in the Philippines, they don't even become suggestions. LOL

I concur. I haven't memorized the DS 260, so not really sure the OP is quoting actual questions. The certainly want to know if you've lived in another country since age 16, but I don't recall a question about another address since 16. Read the questions very carefully, interpret them literally, and answer accordingly. As for phone numbers, they are asking for your current phone number only, the number they can use to contact you.

Comingling of finances in the USA is not an actual expectation when the spouses live in separate countries. The evidence of regular visits is the key. Again, none of it matters unless he plans to actually live in the USA.

I concur. Of course, if the foreign spouse does not actually want to live permanently in the USA, there is no point in doing anything at all, at this point. The IR1 visa for spouse is not for visiting the USA. It's for living in the USA permanently.

FAQs are "guides". Instructions are more complete and carry more weight. I've typed at least a thousand times (yes really) "Become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions". I've never once mentioned any FAQ, because instruction trump them.
