    You are so confused, you have confused me. This is the spouse visa forum of visajourney.com. Nothing in your question makes any sense in that context. Further, there are lots of sources of "advice". File correctly, and there is LITTLE chance of an RFE. There is NO chance of receiving any kind of a "stamp" in 5 to 7 months in a visa case. Is your wife adjusting status from WITHIN THE USA? Those are the conditions under which your post makes a little sense.

    The three months would not apply to anything past when you submit the certificate. It will be far more than 3 months longer for the interview. Generally, NVC and Consular Officers are not concerned with expiration dates printed on police certificates. They only care about the issue date.

    You are supplying a complete copy of your tax return as instructed. I assure you, the instructions mention nothing at all about it being signed. YOU, will sign the I-864 under penalty of perjury, and you will supply a current pay stub to document your own current income, which DOES NOT come from any tax return, unless you are self employed. This is a non-issue.

    So, if they married in California, and that US State allows one to change their name, to include an extra one, then documentation that they actually did that, should be included with the I-485. In that case, carry on with no worries.

    If your passport doesn't have a middle name shown, and you're just making one up, because you want to, that is "lying on an immigration form". Very bad idea.
  6. pushbrk
    That was never an option. One requirement was always to include the I-130 receipt notice. There was a while you could get away with filing them both in the same envelope though.

    I see how that's confusing. Those are general file requirements. For a paper filing, you can just type or paste the correct information in the Native Alphabet, with no certifications. They just want the information. This is not an official government document. They are just saying you can upload it as a document, instead of typing or pasting if you want. This is not "new".
  8. pushbrk
    Yes, as evidence of bona fide relationship, but other photos over time if you have them, and passport stamps as evidence of time spent together in person. It's never too early to learn the proper terminology. I-130 is a petition, not an application. When the petition is approved, your spouse will be invited to apply for a visa.
  9. pushbrk
    Yes, that's OK. BUT.....be very certain he indicates that the location where you will adjust status is filled in as NO Applicable, and the section where you will apply for a visa is correctly filled with the location of the Consulate. My real advice is to indicate you are NOT in the USA, and then file the day AFTER you leave. Less chance for USCIS to make a mistake that way.

    It's still true, PERIOD. Only exceptions are when there IS no Immigrant Visa unit in the country, but even then the most choices you will have is two Consulates. Most often, it is only one. The only way you could EVER file a petition in a country you are visiting, is if there would be an acceptable (rare) set of circumstances justifying it. Don't know or care to speculate about what those would be. If you want to file an I-129F AFTER you have your I-130 filing receipt, it won't hurt anything. It might speed things up, or just be a waste of time. You can't know without trying.

    That's not WHY the K3 visa is obsolete or no longer available. My ex wife was issued a K3 visa in 2006. They stopped saving time a few months later, and became all but obsolete in early 2010. The only change since 2010 is that they get killed by USCIS a little earlier than being killed by NVC AFTER petition approval. It was policy changes, first at NVC and later at USCIS that killed that visa.
  12. pushbrk
    Please quote it exactly, so we can all be aware of any change.

    Unless you are in the USA right now, just enter not applicable for that section after checking NO. Then starting with the passport number, continue to complete the form. Also, advice your spouse to read carefully, including noticing and literally interpreting the little words, like if, or, and etc. They matter.
  14. pushbrk
    You have your answer but where are you reading this instruction related to name and address for the specific section of the I-130 online filing?
  15. pushbrk
    You are confusing filing a petition with applying for the visa. Once the petition is approved, the foreign spouse is invited to apply for a visa, where they currently live, or where they are a citizen. Since the the second petition is never going to be approved, a K3 visa will never be applied for anywhere.
  16. pushbrk
    Passport needs to go back to the Consular IV unit to have a corrected visa affixed. Do not attempt to travel with it.
  17. pushbrk
    Correct. COVID delays are generally no longer an issue. Those backlogs have been cleared but there are still places in that region that have very long wait times, like Ghana and Nigeria.
  18. pushbrk
    I wasn't talking about "searching" for information here, but it's great you tried. I meant "asking". I can understand why it is difficult to get information about that Consulate though. Maybe post in the appropriate regional forum with a topic title that includes your question. Somebody who has some information might see it and provide some anecdotal information.
  19. pushbrk
    Information IS available and tracked here by Consulate. When you ask, include the country in your question.
  20. pushbrk
    Exactly. This (informing the CBP officer) is how the green card and Social Security cards get sent to the correct address.
  21. pushbrk
    That's only an actual requirement if you need it to track name changes. Example Mary Jones, marries Mr. Smith, then divorces him. Later she marries Mr. Bailey. Her divorce mentions Mary and James Smith divorcing but does not mention the name Mary Jones at all. How does the Consulate know the Mary Jones on the Birth Certificate, Mary Smith on the divorce decree, and Mary Bailey are the same person? Answer: By providing that first marriage certificate. If you were in this situation, you would have needed that marriage certificate for USCIS already, for the same reason. If you didn't, it's not needed now either.
  22. pushbrk
    Correct, and I don't know their intentions, but with an immigrant visa to the USA, she can maintain resident status, while living with her deployed active duty husband abroad. Entering Germany is a separate issue pretty easily handled for the spouse of an active duty military man.
  23. pushbrk
    I looked it up once. All I remember was something about a wet noodle.
  24. pushbrk
    You are overlooking the most important evidence you have. It is last on the list, "any other". For newlyweds living in separate countries, use your evidence of time spent together in person. It's the stamps in passport(s) showing you in the same country, and some photos together. Throw the affidavits away or keep them as momentos.
  25. pushbrk
    Exactly correct. Ignore that message, in your situation.
