Tax transcripts (latest) is not about this year. It's last year. If one does not have a job now, it doesn't make a bit of difference how much they made last year. Going to work and providing a pay stub for a full pay period to go with an updated I-134 is the key. Interview should be postponed until that can be accomplished. If not, the visa will be denied and they'll have to start over.

Yes, an I-134 from you and another from the co-sponsor. A pay stub is evidence of current income for an employed person. W2s are about te past.

Good answer on the financial aspect already. However, the interview is NOT about how much you want to be in the USA for any other reason than your genuine relationship to your fiancé and your desire to marry and have a life together.

Nothing like that appears on page 1 of the I-864 or page 1 of the instructions. You're seeing things that aren't there. Joint sponsors are the ones who need to provide evidence of US Citizenship or LPR status along with evidence the actually live in the USA currently. Petitioner's in this context do not.

Possible? Yes. Nothing you can do about it except tell the truth now and going forward. Is the DS-260 submitted correctly with the truth?

You came across no such statement because it is not there. Your citizenship is already established. You checked a box about your citizenship. If your address history is in the USA, you work in the USA, you don't need additional evidence you have US domicile either. Read carefully and interpret literally.

If you are being allowed to continue the NVC stage buy submitting documents, then just continue. Expect your spouse to have a clear and understandable explanation for the delay. By reasonable and clear, I mean one that will not call the bona fides of your relationship in to shart question.

English translations are not needed when documents are already in the local language.

I'm not talking about intentionally misleading anybody. You were filling out a government form that asked for your middle name as part of your full name. You know you have a middle name, but left it blank I'm advising you to make the effort to be accurate and truthful going forward in this process. It was an oversight on your part, not to be the first time. That's why you have this issue now.

This is a non-issue at this time. In future forms, tell the truth. You know you have a middle name and you know the proper spelling is the one on your birth certificate. Be truthful and accurate. Answer the actual questions asked. When asked for your name, give your full name. The question does not ask for the name on your passport or the name on your driver license. It asks for your NAME. You know your name.

Correct. You can be an RN without a BSN, and a BSN doesn't in and of itself make you an RN. It's a great goal, and a legitimate reason to seek a student visa, if she hadn't also found a groom and didn't have immigrant intent.

I don't see anything missing, but the list depends on the circumstances. Are they the correct passport style photos? Is it the PSA marriage Certificate? Is your divorce decree a scan of a Certified Copy of the decree? Specifics matter. When you choose your terms instead of using the specific standard ones, the door opens to potential mistakes.

I said your attorney's advice is excellent. I guess I can add, that my advice would be the same.

All good stuff, but I doubt DCF would be successful based on finding a new job. Works for transfers within the same company, but would not hurt to try.

Might work, but you also need to understand that to use a non-immigrant visa (Student visas are non-immigrant.) with the real intention of immigrating, is "fraud".

An "Advanced Degree" is advanced beyond Batchelor's degree. If she already has a Batchelor degree in a medical field, and is enhancing it to be a surgical nurse, maybe. If she IS a nurse, there are special visas for nurses, but there are quotas. I have a friend in the Philippines (American) whose Filipino wife got a visa for an RN that allows immigration benefits later. The quota issues delayed their move by a year though.

She's unlikely to get a student visa at her age, unless it's for an advanced degree. You mention a Masters for you but she doesn't need an advanced degree to be a nurse. I don't think two foreigners can marry in China, so maybe in South Korea, once the divorce is final. For your situation, the spouse visa is a much better fit. All that said, it takes as long as it takes, and NO, you don't qualify for DCF based on what you said. The members here quickly learn that separation is a fact of life in spouse immigration. It doesn't have to be always, but I don't see a way around it for the two of you, unless you find a way to wait it out with her outside the USA. Start by clicking on the word "Guides" at the top of any page here.

If you have a job, that is your occupation, in this context. They already know you are a wife and all that goes with that.

You hired an attorney for a reason. His advice is excellent.

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.,
