    Doubtful, as it is not "current" income, but potential future SS benefit.
  2. SalishSea
    This is not correct. Leaving one child behind doesn't make your household smaller.
  3. SalishSea
    I have no idea. Check with your county/state department of records.

    I don’t see a way out of this with no joint sponsor, honestly. The new benefit is not greatly higher than the old one.
  5. SalishSea
    That income is marginal for a family of 4 to live on in the US. Potential income of the immigrant is not considered in the calculation, but your wife’s ability to work in the US as a CPA could be viewed positively as part of the totality of circumstances.
  6. SalishSea
    What do you mean? How would you take your wife to the US without a visa? She will need the green card to work.
  7. SalishSea
    You will need to show evidence of having actually moved to a new state. Simply getting hold of an address and applying like that is not adequate.

    Certified copies are considered to be originals. For most vital statistic type documents (MC, birth and death certs), the owner of the document is the jurisdiction where it is filed, such as your county or state. I would get an actual certified copy (vs a photocopy or electronic copy). It will have a seal of the county clerk (or similar) in wet ink.

    Because it's based on the totality of circumstances, not just raw numbers. You won't know until after the interview if they want a joint sponsor. I may be wrong, but I get the impression Manila does not often ask for one.

    Not sure how you could get a certified copy of a document that is not owned by some vital records jurisdiction in the US? Maybe the Lebanon embassy can certify it?

    Congratulations, carmel!

    Did you do much research into the details of the K-1 before petitioning? Fiance will not be able to leave/return to US or work until the AP/EAD documents are in hand, which can take up to 8 months when filed for concurrently with the greencard application. Major drawback to that visa vs a spousal visa.
  13. SalishSea
    Nope.
  14. SalishSea
    Probs the best idea.
  15. SalishSea
    You got a million problems, and a partially missing address ain't one of them.
  16. SalishSea
    You can file the minute you have $5k for the fee. Is it wise? Not necessarily.
  17. SalishSea
    No. No one has a 'right' to a visit visa. DOS did not err when they denied her.
  18. SalishSea
    Did you find a lawyer? Your case is not DIY.
  19. SalishSea
    That’s a red flag, and could be why they’re questioning things. Do you know if your ex-wife has married and petitions others since your divorce?
  20. SalishSea
    Yes, give her legal name. The A number would have been printed on the visa in her passport, as well as referenced on correspondence she received. If you don’t have it, it’s acceptable to write “unknown.”

    Wow. That's just wild. Thank you for sharing that info.
  23. SalishSea
    They no longer issue indefinite B visas, AFAIK. If she is approved, they will affix the currently used B visa in her passport.
  24. SalishSea
    Were you “introduced” (even if remote) by friends or family also from viet nam?
  25. SalishSea
    Apples and oranges. Income that doesn’t ‘count’ for immigration purposes is still taxable.
