Because why not censor my native language because I refuse to say "elles". SMH.

This seems like solid evidence. Copies of both passports are not needed. But, you might have reasons not listed on here as to why.

We used this when we were going the K1 route. https://www.daytranslations.com/free-translation-online/ We actually used the paid services, I can't recall how much they were. Also, it has been 4-5 years since we used them. I know people that have translated them themselves. I could have done my husband's paperwork, but we got the apostille and certification over in Argentina, and I wanted to make sure everything was certified including the translation. If you have criminal records to translate, it is better to just use some type of service rather than a DIY just to be safe, especially if you are going through the Ecuador (Guayaquil) embassy, which is one of the toughest from what I have heard.

This is insane. I am just glad you got SOME movement. Just discouraging. Hopefully, you will get a quick turnaround and you will get approval very soon!

Thank you! I have no idea why this did not notify me of responses. That's what I figured as well. Like it sounds too good to be true. Keep me posted. Hope the buddy does well.

Congrats!

No, it does not. It is definitely a personal preference. Many people do it quarterly. The idea is just to show you have them for the longevity of your marriage - if possible. If you have other strong evidence (which you should), sending quarterly statements should also be plenty.

@DesperateHouseWif Good luck tomorrow. Let us know how it goes!

Hi! Welcome! First of all, I am not too savvy in the CR1 process. Thus, I will also let others chime in to be a bit more helpful. But, this is what I know: Your yearly income would just be whatever you would expect to earn within a year, not what you would earn within the time left in 2023. You can only provide what you have. None of us can tell you if something is enough or not, since this is at the discretion of the officer. Be prepared, however, to have to present whatever you have available for proof of income within the last 3 years (pay stubs, income tax returns, W2s, 1099, etc.) I don't think it is a problem per-say. But, they might require you to have a co-sponsor who has an income that has been more steady (i.e. same job and income within a few years of longevity). I believe you can only use this as support if: The appraisal was performed by what they considered a legitimate appraiser. It can be converted into cash quickly within a year. It does not cause a negative impact on the household when sold. Thus, it is not the primary household. In other words, if that is where your family lives, the officer could choose to say it cannot be used to show sponsorship because selling it would mean your household would be left without a place to live. In my humble opinion, it might be best if you just get a co-sponsor from the get-go just because it appears you are lacking enough to prove consistency of income (and total amount of 125% above poverty line) to be the sole sponsor. The CR1 takes about two years, which means you are looking at 2025, and there is a potential that a new administration will be in government. Hence, requirements can change and be more strict. By not getting a co-sponsor now, you could further delay the wait if they decide to do an RFE (or denial) for a co-sponsor later.

Correct. I was not asking Mike trying to question your post or legitimacy. I am trying to gage the chances of being able to do this successfully and how many get it approved as I was not aware of this particular form and would like to know for educational purposes and assist others in the future.

Based on what OP mentioned, how real or feasible are the chances of getting it granted without the need for the tests? I am guessing the OP's friend would also need to provide proof of diagnosis and a potential letter from the psychiatrist?

I am putting this in off topic because it has nothing to do with immigration. But, I figured this is the biggest pool to ask for opinions regarding pet insurance. I am trying to see which pet insurance is the best in covering preventative, accidents, out of pocket, etc. I did a little research and each website gives me something different. So, I figured I would ask in case some of you have first-hand experience. Mainly, I just want something that will get my dog covered. I don't mind waiting a couple of months or any waiting period before I can take him in. I just want to make sure I get one and pay for it so I can take him for his routine. I am just tired of paying $300-$400 at once when I take him to the yearly visits. I'd rather have something I pay monthly and will cover the yearly trip and any accidental or unforeseen events. Thanks!
