Anyone can file, but getting approval is another story. You have about a year before the interview takes place, I am moving this question to the Philippines regional forum because the local consulate policies will dictate.

Just a couple problems. 1. The OP also provided a great deal of evidence proving the marriage was bona fide. 2. OP's evidence goes back only to September 2022....10 months after the marriage. A lot of marriages go sour within 10 months. Short of a text message saying "I married you only for a Green Card...", I don't think USCIS would open a case. Just an opinion...

Social Security Retirement income can be used. Print a benefits letter.

They are separate cases...independent of each other. They might even be at different service centers. You can do this: 1. Hold the 1st case at NVC when it gets there by waiting to pay fees or submitting documents there. 2. When the 2nd case gets to NVC, pay fees and submit documents for BOTH cases at the same time. 3. Then contact NVC and the consulate to ask that the 2 cases be connected and interviewed together.

1. If she doesn't have a Green Card. Immediately withdraw the I-864 before the I-485 is approved. 2. If she already has a Green Card, my advice is to Finish the divorce, move on, and seek happiness for yourself. Hopefully, you have a good attorney. It is probably in your best interest that she becomes a US citizen as soon as possible. You are obligated under the I-864 until either she becomes a US citizen, loses her LPR status, gains 40 quarters of work credit, or dies. Actually, there is no 10 year limit. Remember, you submitted a great deal of evidence showing the marriage was bona fide. Marriages go south every day. If she entered the marriage in good faith, you have no case. I wish you well and I hope you can find peace. ***Moved to Effects of Major Family Changes On Immigration Benefits***

You marriage certificate is a legal name change document. For USCIS, you can start using any combination of the names listed on your marriage certificate. Example: Mary Smith marries John Doe Mary could use: Mary Smith, Mary Doe, Mary Smith Doe, Mary-Smith-Doe as examples.

I like the 2nd version....specific, succinct, matter-of-fact. It was very well done, imo. Just my opinion. You can (and should) include specifies in your marriage termination documents. Good luck.

This union is playing with fire, and they will get burned.

An I-134 is a document....which is submitted by the applicant at the interview. That's why I said the 30 day clock won't start until AFTER the interview.

He's only been in office for a week. Too early.

Oh.....Makes it much easier then. He was never under any I-864 obligations.

I should have said the I-864 which is associated with her I-485. Thanks. I'll edit...

Make sure you specifically withdraw both the I-130 and the I-864 associated with her I-485 (adjustment of status) by receipt numbers with names and her A number. I hope you fid peace.

That is after the interview....not before the interview. It also is after any require administrative processing and/or background checks done by the consulate. For example: The I-134 is submitted during the interview. At that point, the 30 day clock might start.

I'm glad I was wrong. Refile the I-130 by itself.

Don't duplicate. Report it and ask it to be moved. That will keep all answers together.

Withdraw I-130 and I-485 before a Green Card is issued. Annul the marriage or divorce Protect yourself physically and financially Let her go and seek happiness for yourself. Her destiny is up to her.

For employees, sponsorship qualification is determined by CURRENT annual income....not last year tax return returns. Current annual income is calculated as follows: Employees- Latest pay period gross income multiplied times number of pay periods per 12 months. Calculate that for each job and add together. Self employed people- Determined by documentable income (last tax year Schedule C, Profit/Loss schedule, etc) If you need a joint sponsor, I would opt for a single well-qualified joint sponsor. Good luck.

After withdrawing the I-130 and I-864: Have you ever filed a petition for her? Yes. Do you have legal obligations under an I-864? No
