You can sell privately if the person is willing to pay off the loan. Or you may be able to transfer the loan. Lots of paperwork involved.

I assume your wife is from the Philippines and wants to apply for and work in Japan? If so, this does not impact the I-130 and subsequent CR1/IR1 visa. You may need to transfer embassies if she is still in Japan at the NVC step.

I am asking because the I-130 and NVC steps are the same as what you went through if you immigrated via a I-130 petition - immediate family or family preference visa.

The NOA1 receipt for the I-485 is your wife's proof of authorized stay.

I do not recall seeing that question on the I-130. There are questions regarding your current address and previous addresses, and separate questions about the beneficiary's address and previous addresses.

How did you become a USC? Work visa, visa lottery, K1, CR1, Family preference...?

I would use the timeline function here on VJ to get a new estimate. I believe it will be more likely than not that your wife will get her visa before Oct 2024. There's a good chance to get it by July or Aug 2024. This does depend on the complexity of your case, any RFEs, and how quickly and accurately you submit documents to NVC.

Reason for expedite vs evidence of a bona fide relationship are 2 different things. If they were tied, then all those whose expedites were denied would also have had their visas/adjustments denied. Here's a post from a few months ago regarding the evidence of having children together: I do agree that it is unfair for couples that cannot or do not wish to have children together, which includes my wife and me.

You will submit one set of required documents for the entire package - I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864. For example, the marriage certificate is required for the I-485. You do not need to include a second copy for the I-765. You do have to include the total number of passport photos.

1. Use google translate. It will provide her name in Hindi that you can copy and paste. If the entry box does not accept the paste, then check the Tech Not Available box. 2. Google Doc ID for India passports. Ukrainian passports do not have one, I am not sure if Indian passport have it. 3. Yes. List all countries. Typically her home country does not need to be included, but because your wife is residing in another country from her nationality, it is safer to include all. 4. Explain about the missing records and that vaccine requirements will be reviewed at the medical exam.

People move and have their children transfer school routinely, regardless of immigration: job transfer, be closer to family, get away from snow, etc. I had to transfer schools in Feb when my parents moved from LA to FL. It is not normally seen as an exceptional circumstance for an expedite. When did you file the I-130 for your wife? I assume your children are USC's and have been processed under CRBA?

What specific question on I-130 do you need advice with?

If you move and live in a different country, contact NVC to transfer your case. You will also need updated documents reflecting your new address and country.

As others have noted, why would you want to speed up the I-130 approval? I assume you think the 12 years of processing so far is enough to protect your children under CSPA. The problem is that the visa bulletin is not under linear progression - that is, the months as years do not progress with current months and years. Right now the wait for F4 India is about 18 years. In 5 years time, the wait can balloon to 20 years or 25 years. Or it can stay the same or reduce. The longer USCIS takes to process the I-130, up until when a visa number is available, the better.

I have not seen a post from someone who received an RFE for the wrong size photos. You may get an RFE or you may not. If you do, it will be the first I've come across. The passport size photos for the I-129F is only used for internal USCIS purposes. Later on, for the K-1 interview, you will need to submit the photos that will actually be used on the K-1 visa.

Having kids together actually is strong evidence for immigration, perhaps the strongest.

What greencard application? EDIT: From your timeline it seems your spouse received his CR1 visa The beneficiary's passport is not required when submitting the I-130, unless the beneficiary is in the US.

1) I have not seen any reports about education being questioned, other than someone's English level. 2) Age and religion differences does play a role, predominantly in MENA and some asian countries. Typically an older USC female marrying a younger male is scrutinized than the vice-versa 3) I have seen education differences pop up in relationship issues, but this has nothing to do with immigration. As long as the two of you are good about this as a couple, it should be fine. 4) Focus on your relationship. As long as it is genuine, then the evidence you need to submit is just documenting what you do together on paper. 5) As an addendum to 4), above, there are some thing you should do after marriage, like opening joint bank accounts, be authorized on each other's credit cards, etc.

Yes, enter your current address. 1) No. 2) No.

Do not falsify information. If at the time you file for AOS you are in AZ, then list your current address in AZ. If you can, wait until you move in with him before submitting the I-485 package. Not living with your husband is a red flag. Knowing your husband before you applied for and entered on a student visa is another red flag. There was a poster last month whose I-485 was denied because they knew their spouse before they applied for and entered on a student visa - I believe F1. I recommend consulting an experienced immigration lawyer.

True copies are copies from the agency, ministry, or department that issues the document. It is not notarized copies from a US embassy or other 3rd party entity.

The form requires you to list persons already sponsored and then add the new beneficiary. I guess I can input the combinations of the 2 remaining family members as being already sponsored, when in reality they are not until the I-134A's are approved. EDIT: My concern with the above is that it may provide contradictory information, that I want ot sponsor someone new when on the next I-134A I state that I already sponsored them.

Normal. Can be up to 90 days for receipt of the I-797C. You have your receipt number. There's nothing more that the I-797C will provide, other than the service center address, which you can get by checking your case online or by phone.

No matter what you decide - Brazil/Argentina/Utah Online, avoid those lawyers

Sibling (sister/brother) visa is F4.
