    Chinese consulate in Australia?

    I-130: Immigrant visa petition I-129F: Fiance (K1) or K3 visa petition. Which one did you file?
  3. SteveInBostonI130
    You will not. Check your embassy website for information about the K1 process.

    From your earlier posts, she never obtained a student visa. She entered on a B2 visa and changed category to student without leaving the US. From your various posts, answers were provided. I am not sure why you received information that it was ok for your wife to travel home while the I-485 is processing and the I-131 is not approved. Perhaps you did not explain all the information about your case to them. Your wife can travel back home anytime but she cannot return. She has no valid visa, according to what you previously posted, and her AOS would be declared as abandoned. She needs to wait until her AOS or AP is approved if she wants to travel and return.

    You can amend your return.

    A few mote months for the I-130 approval. 2-3 months for NVC submittals and DQ. 6 months or so to get scheduled for interview after DQ. Summary: a year longer, give or take a few months.

    The USC petitioner fills it in and signs. He/she then sends it to the foreign fiance to bring to their interview.

    @tw2mn, Answer is I-864. For the baby, he/she will be a USC and you will file CRBA for him/her. That is, as long as you lived at least 5 years in the US with at least 2 years after age 14.

    Per the link below, that is incorrect. There is a difference between reporting income and owing taxes on income. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/family-caregivers-and-self-employment-tax You may need to amend your tax returns.

    For the I-130 petition, the marriage certificate from Singapore will suffice.

    To live in PH eventually, or in USA?

    Because your spouse does not have a SSN or ITIN, you need to file MFS - Married Filing Separately. That is where you write NRA in the SSN field for your spouse. After your wife and son immigrate and get their SSN's, you can amend the 2022 tax return.
  13. SteveInBostonI130
    No. Just you and your spouse.
  14. SteveInBostonI130
    Unmarried sons over 21? If so, then they need to wait until approximately 1 year before their visa number becomes available. Google "Visa Bulletin" and click on the April 2023 link.

    The I-134 is a non binding document and is not examined as thoroughly as the I-864. Because you are self employed, you need to use the Total Income amount: Gross revenue minus expenses. Per the RFE, it seems your total income does not meet the requirement. Your house is a poor choice because one of the stipulations of using an asset is that it will not result in financial hardship if utilized. At this point, the best option is to find a joint sponsor.
  16. SteveInBostonI130
    Another variable is the amount of time for background checks from the Department of Justice for the petitioner.
  17. SteveInBostonI130
    That is for spouse visas. Are you going for K1 or CR1/IR1?
  18. SteveInBostonI130
    I would bring the 2nd sponsor's completed and signed form along with the tax transcripts to the interview. The CO may or may not ask for updated information. If he/she is ok with the joint sponsor's form without the 2022 taxes, then you are all set and don't need to burden your MIL. If the CO asks for the updated taxes, then submit the form from your MIL.

    April 18 for this year.

    Philippines. A K1 there can get approve with 1 month of meeting online and saying hello to each other at the airport and shaking hands/hugging. Similar for Ukraine as well. For both, there's probably a negative percentage chance for a single woman or man to get a B2 visa to the US, but K1's and CR1/IR1's get approved just by showing up on time to the interview.
  21. SteveInBostonI130
    What country? Philippines, Haiti, DR, Pakistan, India, Mexico and Canada (among others) have backlogs waiting for interview.
  22. SteveInBostonI130
    Why? Being a Candian citizen is not a requirement for filing the I-130. I suggest your wife file the I-130 online tonight. The entire process will be 2 years - the sooner you start, the sooner you can immigrate.
  23. SteveInBostonI130
    No. The PCC'd that will be required will be based on the address history on the DS-160. The embassy will have no idea what PCC's you will need beforehand.
  24. SteveInBostonI130
    Because you already decided to get together, you don't want to waste time to get together. Interesting logic.
  25. SteveInBostonI130
    It is based on historical cases of fraud. Countries with few or no cases of misuse or abuse of fiance or spousal visas can get approved with bare minimum evidence. Countries with a history of beneficiaries misusing their visas are scrutinized heavily.
