You can self sponsor by adding your husband's income on the same I-864 (current annual household income). You will need to provide proof that the income will continue (husband's employer's remote work/ agreement/ documentation). https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf Page 8:

1. Wait. 2. Nothing. The only reason to notify USCIS is if you or your parent want to withdraw the petition. Otherwise, let it proceed to NVC and make changes there. As Boiler pointed out, it is not mandatory to switch from family preference F2B to family preference F1. If NVC changes the category, your brother can email them with a request to remain F2B.

How does your spouse get mail? If you need to FedEx or DHL something, where do you send it? -

I don't see any qualifying reason from what you have posted. I do hope you have submitted for a CRBA for your daughter. -
K1 visa at Honduras US consulate
SteveInBostonI130 replied to williammearle's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
You schedule your own interview, after completing the DS-160, paying the fee, and using the receipt and NVC case number. -
1. About 7 years from the filing date. 2. No. 3. After USCIS approves the I-130 it will be sent to the NVC About a year before the visa becomes current, the NVC will "unlock" the case and contact the petitioner to pay the AOS and IV fees. At that point your parent and your brother will complete the NVC steps. If your parent becomes a USC, the category will change from F2B to F1 and it will take an additional 1-2 years for that category to become current.

F1 visa refused in Dropbox
SteveInBostonI130 replied to hannydabas's topic in Student & Exchange Visitor Visas
Refused is not Denied. -
Renew the passport now. Thr passport information on the I-130 is used for background checks if your wife was in the US at the time you submitted the petition. When the I-130 gets approved the next step is NVC. At NVC, your wife will have to submit a copy of her passport and fill out the DS-260. The passport needs to match the information in the DS-260. You do not need to inform USCIS.

If you want to get denied, then yes. There are many ways to apply, get denied and waste the application fee. This is one of them.

Can She Visit?
SteveInBostonI130 replied to hearsay's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
I am not sure why this is a surprise? Immigration laws are immigration laws. They exist. They do not wait for you in the dark and jump out at an in-opportune moment. As someone else mentioned, here at VJ we all we went through immigration. There was nothing really amazing about it. Mundane, stressful and long just about sums up the experience. -
The way to owe less is if one of you could claim Child EIC, and both of you seem to be above the threshold for MFS individually. For MFS, you would owe about $13.5k and your spouse would owe $9k. One of you can claim the child dependent for the $2k credit. Total for both of you would be about $20.5k owed. For MFJ the numbers come to about $20.9k. There seems to be about $450 benefit for MFS. This is not accounting for tax penalties for owing more than 10% of your tax liability. Go meet with your tax pro and have him/her run the exact numbers for both scenarios.

??? Did you pay over $25k on Fed income tax only, or did you pay $25k for Fed income+Social Security+Medicare taxes? Some simple tax math: $160,000 -$25,900 standard deduction =$134,100 taxable: MFJ Liability: $9,615+$11,121 = $20,736 -$2000 qualifying child credit (1 child) = $18,736. The above, if you made $169,999 together: $20,936 tax owed as MFJ By my calculation above, you should be getting between $4k to $6k+ refund if filing MFJ and if you payed over $25k in just Fed income tax. If the $25k was for fed income+ssi+med, then up to $13k was just for ssi+med = $12k in fed income tax withholdings. In this case you would owe $6.7k to $8.9k, depending on the exact amounts. Also note, the above is assume all income is wage income.

For the last, the visa is still not current as of the March 2023 Visa Bulletin. For F3, those with PD's before 22 Nov 2008 are current. This typically meant that your grandson will age out between Feb 20, 2023 to March 21, 2023, depending on when in June 2010 USCIS approved the petition (date of turning 21 + 517 to 546 days). HOWEVER and FORTUNATELY, Your family is in luck. On Feb 14, 2023 (a few days ago), USCIS has updated their policy on CSPA age to base it on the Dates of Filing table instead of Final Action Date table. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-updates-child-status-protection-act-cspa-age-calculation-for-certain-adjustment-of-status Because your son is NVC approved on April 16, 2021, the seek to acquire date is on that date or before (when all docs were submitted). Your grandson was naturally under 21 and also under CSPA 21 at that date and therefore qualifies.

Can I go ahead and schedule appointment?
SteveInBostonI130 replied to ChloeAndAndy's topic in United Kingdom
If you have your case number you should be able to schedule the interview. I am not sure if London has a different policy. -
