    As evidence of residing together out could be useful. Better documentation for this would be things that have the same address on them for both of you.. drivers licence, lease, bank statements etc
  2. Lil bear
    Reread the instructions. If you answered yes for 16 then you fill out 17. By default if you answered no to 16 then you skip 17. This isn’t the same as leaving a mandatory question blank.. thats when you use NA .. not here
  3. Lil bear
    Better to start a new thread !

    Google. Nah. It’s not going to be able to draw together the many aspects of this issue. Follow boilers advice for a good start to understanding For anyone other than a USC, entry is always att v the discretion of the CBP officer at POE .. but its not always complicated
  5. Lil bear
    Not sure your source for this. AI generated answer??? Because it is not the full understanding

    You risk being seen as never having resided in the US if you enter and immediately apply for a Reentry Permit then leave. We have seen one case recently where reentry on the permit was denied for this reason. So you have two choices.. don’t even enter with the visa.. let it expire and reapply when you are ready to move.. or enter together, do as much as possible to strengthen your perceived ties to the US.. bank, drivers licence etc.. apply for the reentry permit and see what happens when you try to renter.

    Its not surprising that she was denied. Babysitting is considered work. Visitor visas are for visiting not working. It’s a hard fact but one which trips up many people.
  8. Lil bear
    There are a limited number of visas which are made available each year and way more eligible applications each year. So the wait time for your application to get to the top of the pile and get an available visa will take a long time The visa bulletin shows the month and year of application that is at the top of the pile now. For many countries the top of the pile application was filled 20 years ago. You cant jump the queue by expediting. Once you are at the top of the pile out means “ a visa is now available” form your application.. and it is possible then to request edited processing of that stage. It culminates in an interview.

    The most recent tax return will be 2023 for any interview prior to April 15

    She is correct. Philippine law requires the relinquishing of Philippine citizenship if she naturalizes in another country
  11. Lil bear
    Yes this is correct. US doesn’t care what other Citizenship you hold .. hence the comments to your post that it depends on the other countries.
  12. Lil bear
    @j&ana my children were born in the US .. hence USC .. but are also Australian citizens by descent from both parents .. they have held dual citizenship and two passports since birth.

    Did you list the cash assets in the original I864 that you submitted to NVC ?
  14. Lil bear
    Mmm. My understanding is that there should have been a seperate paper that was signed by the judge and is the official court document. Where did she take her oath? Reach out to the clerk of that court and explain briefly her name change/oath ceremony and date etc and ask how to get a certified copy of the court issued name change document. You could also try the SSA with the marriage certificate and citizenship certificate … nothing lost if they push back. Checking the marriage certificate box will at least get you an interview and face to face.
  15. Lil bear
    At the citizenship ceremony…. Were you also given a one page court document verifying name changed ?
  16. Lil bear
    Marriage certificate. It will give the link between maiden name and spouses last name. It could always be used to change the name on her SS card. Take the naturalization certificate as it is evidence of citizenship and legal use of the now last name Then go to renew the drivers licence with all the documentation

    Try putting in the date that you will sign the form. Even though it’s counterintuitive to give an end date for something that is still ongoing, the software needs a date. The information needs to be “current” as of the date you sign the form.
  18. Lil bear
    Within 10 days after the actual move date. AR11 is online so it takes only a few minutes. Make sure you print a copy of the acknowledgment of filing.

    Thx. I skimmed too quickly ! I hate these really generic RFEs where you have to guess what they need. It feels like the reviewer is being lazy. The current income is well above the 125%.. I wondered if previous income was much lower ? That’s the only way I could see the RFE being for a joint sponsor. i see also they did send tax return transcripts. Cross that off the list.
  20. Lil bear
    Did you send the 1040 tax return or the IRS official tax return transcript? Is the sponsor self employed or partially using 1099 income as well as employee income ? What is the sponsors household size ?
  21. Lil bear
    That sounds a good way to put it.
  22. Lil bear
    The reason will not help the issue … but you do need to be honest and declare your unauthorised employment. For your category (spouse) it not cause you to be ineligible for AOS. Misrepresentation .. failing to declare it .. will however do that.
  23. Lil bear
    Just provide all addresses. They know about the I31. Use the additional info section to briefly document the temporary absence and your intent to reestablish your domicile in the US prior to the expiry of the reentry permit.
  24. Lil bear
    Yes.
  25. Lil bear
    Not possible. No such work authorisation.
