Form I-130 questions for IR1 Spouse Visa
pushbrk replied to Deang6's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
No you are not. You are filing a petition. When it is approved, your wife will be invited to apply for a visa. It will not go faster by filing online except for the days it takes for DHL etc. to deliver to the USA. Either is fine. Not needed for the initial filing. No. No such thing for the USA anyway. Evidence of time spent together, like passport stamps, boarding passes, and photos together over time. None of this is required. I wouldn't bother with any of it. The above and below are in a list of possible items that appear after the words, "In addition to the required....." meaning NOT REQUIRED. Leave those out. Weakest possible evidence. That's the golden ticket In your situation, I would leave those out. Not needed with 13 visits. Not helpful. Don't include. Not needed. Your marriage certificate is sufficient. Irrelevant.

Certificate of citizenship number...a must?

Not a bad idea, but not a requirement for filing the I-130. -

Enter all zeros, then use your passport copy as evidence of US Citizenship. No worries. -
Changes since submitting DS-260, I-864
pushbrk replied to Karen2021's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I said upload only AFTER you have the interview appointment. Below was my first answer. Once you have an interview date, complete and upload a new financial package with new I-864 and supporting documents. Your spouse can then give an updated address. No need to do a new DS 260. -
You don't need a joint sponsor. If you did, living in their house is not a requirement. She has qualifying current income. Get that number from the employer letter, not a tax return. Chances are her income from all three tax returns will be stated as zero, due to the foreign income exclusion. That's not a problem. She's working in the US now.

NO Just take an up to date pay stub from the joint sponsor. Do you really still need a joint sponsor? -

I gave you my advice already. If I thought it would be an issue, I would have given different advice. If you don't upload before the interview, you'll delay the visa issue. Give a new address at the interview is just fine. -
I-130/Proof Of Marriage (Merged)
pushbrk replied to mopekmez's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
This is not about language. It's about ALPHABET. Have her email you just her name in Devanagari script and you can paste it into the form. Her address is in the UK, so just type in the first address space, "Address is in UK". -

Making life changes is not a problem. Once you have an interview date, complete and upload a new financial package with new I-864 and supporting documents. Your spouse can then give an updated address. No need to do a new DS 260. -

I understand from your earlier response that was your interpretation. It MIGHT BE accurate. OP needs to clarify their question. -
Denied I130 due to Marriage Certifcate
pushbrk replied to vicko_164's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Your use of the word "they" is all encompassing, and inaccurate. Looks like you ran into ONE incompetent, and ONE who simply rubber stamped the other. Shameful, but not an "all of them" kind of thing. I would still get a new one, hoping the seal is fully legible. -
Denied I130 due to Marriage Certifcate
pushbrk replied to vicko_164's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I can't see anything wrong with it at all. The seal is dry embossed and otherwise exactly as described. An "appeal" will take longer than filing again. I would still obtain a new certificate, and compare them before filing, or to have in case of another RFE. One minor detail is that the "signature" of the transcription clerk is just a printed initial and surname. No reason to believe that would be an issue, and it is not mentioned in your denial. -

USCIS adjudicators do this all day every day, and it is their job and training to pay attention to details. You keep talking about "original handed to me". That's not really the point. They said it didn't match what is described on the reciprocity table. You've seen a copy of that above. You responded with something they say doesn't match. Every denial is reviewed before the letter goes out. You'll need to file again. This time obtain a new certified copy of your marriage certificate and make sure it matches every detail mentioned in the reciprocity table. Accept that something is wrong or missing, even if you don't yet know what it is. This is the ONLY possible solution. Continuing to insist you have and sent the right document will get you nowhere. First thing to look for is what they already told you was missing, a "seal". If you still think your document should be accepted, then make a new copy, black out the the names of the couple and post it here. We/I will compare it to what the table says is required, and tell you what's wrong. -
That's correct, but to answer the direct question, no. To the OP though, do you mean your gross income was below the filing threshold, or below the foreign income exclusion, or below the minimum income required to sponsor? Minimum threshold for filing is very low. Please clarify. Either way, no, you do not need notarized letter, but you will still need to show concrete steps to indicate your intention to re-establish US Domicile at interview.

Never heard of such a thing. Maybe restate your question.
