  1. What you have described is not a potential problem. Follow the instructions and be accurate. The need for three years of qualifying income, is only a thing, when the beneficiary will interview in Mumbai, and not always then either.
  2. Lots of misinformation out there. I've been clear with you. Take it to the bank. Your "current income" is NOT what you've already made this year. It's what you will make during the next 365 days.
  3. You do not need qualifying income for all three years. It's always safe to use the I-864. You also only need one recent pay stub. It's going to show your year to date income anyway. Your "current income" is the gross for one pay period, time the number of pay periods in a full year. If you make 1k a week, your income is 50k.
  4. Lots of wrong things are "told" to people. If mom is married, you'll need an I-864a from her spouse.
  5. No. She should provide an I-864 of her own as a "joint sponsor" not a household member. Presumably, she qualifies on her own, and does not need to combine income with you. That you live at the same address does not change this. I-864a is for combining income.
  6. Well, it won't hurt the visa process to do that, but it WILL perhaps unnecessarily obligate the joint sponsor.
  7. See bold above. That's what they are looking for when a couple hasn't yet lived in the same country. The passport stamps and boarding passes if he has them are the primary evidence. A couple photos from each visit are all the secondary evidence they'll need. (Yes, really! Yes, I'm sure!) It's the Philippines, not Nigeria. Do NOT send evidence HE is sending HER money. That is not comingling of assets.
  8. In the tax section, enter the numbers from the total income line of the last three tax returns. For current income, enter last year's investment income.
  9. Discuss these concerns with the Consular Officer during the interview.
  10. Sounds like you have plenty of evidence already. Concentrate on evidence of time spent together. Receipts and passport stamps are "primary evidence" while photos are great "secondary evidence". A few pages of evidence should be plenty. Skip the affidavits. Note you are referencing a list that follows the words, "In addition to the required......" and "one or more", so not required and not All.
  11. There's no way to really know for certain, why your case is taking longer, but it does make sense that they are looking into your previous case. It's possible that once they got the files together, it was kicked into another queue for a more senior officer to evaluate. The decision will be made based on all the facts they have. We don't have those facts. We don't know what other red flags there may be. Red flags are things like marrying on the first visit, and in that region, the woman being significantly older than the man is a red flag. The bigger the age difference, the bigger the flag.
  12. They do accept assets. If you are self employed, your "current income" is the same amount as the total income on your personal federal tax return for 2022. Pay stubs mean nothing to the self employed person. It is "revenue" now and will only be considered income when it is on a tax return. You will need a minimum of 3X the income shortfall in liquid assets to qualify. They evidently see that you have the assets. That's why you are DQ. If you feel you are well qualified based on the combination of income and liquid assets, ignore the message.
  13. If your message says you MAY want to add a joint sponsor, then you can ignore the message, if your current income and/or liquid assets are clearly sufficient. This is a stock message sent to all who don't show enough income on the most recent tax return. The Consular Officer will make the decision. Do....YOU.....think your current income qualifies?
  14. Correct, but not if the intending immigrant is the spouse of the USC petitioner. This is a spouse case. I should have said spouse/beneficiary. Sorry.
  15. It will not be a mistake to bring "everything".
  16. Take everything you used for anything during the immigration process, including the originals of everything uploaded at the NVC stage. No need to "limit" what you take. Take it all.
  17. If your wife is not "in" the USA, passport photos of her are not needed but they are for you.
  18. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/while-abroad/marriage-abroad.html https://turismo.buenosaires.gob.ar/en/article/get-married-ba
  19. 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.
  20. Nothing like that is used for IR1 or CR1 visa appointments. NVC makes those and notifies you.
  21. Depends on if she HAS and 1099. Not all do.
  22. Great. I'm just making sure the OP understands this. Cheers.
