Was your previous I-485 employment-based and your ex-wife a derivative beneficiary?

That is definitely not true. If USCIS petition approval was enough, there would be no point to consular adjudication and visa processing. In any case, no one other than consulate insiders would know for sure what they do with evidence side-loaded at NVC stage. But, I have not seen any reports here on VJ of side-loading harming a case. It certainly didn't harm my case, though I have no idea if it helped at all.

Spouse is not a tax dependent, so you cannot "claim" him on your taxes. As a married taxpayer, you either file MFS or MFJ (or HOH if you qualify). As to which filing status you should use, that was already discussed extensively in your previous thread -- Already addressed in another previous thread -- Your husband may apply for a spouse visa only after your I-130 petition for him has been approved. If you haven't filed an I-130 for him yet, I suggest doing so after collecting documentary evidence of your next trip to Pakistan. Make sure to include as much bona fide relationship evidence as you can into your petition.

Are there any big items with sentimental value that your fiance absolutely must bring from Japan? JAL and ANA have generous baggage policies and reasonable baggage fees. Try to fit as much in their allowed baggage, and maybe pay for 1 or 2 extra. Consider selling or giving away as much stuff as possible before the move, then buy replacements in the US. Would probably be cheaper that way.

In his I-864 for you, you should not be counted twice. So "0" for item# 3. Count all 3 children, assuming they are all minors.

Then they need to get a better copy from the records office of their birth state. Or provide a copy of the bio page of their unexpired US passport instead. Other options: passport card, CRBA, certificate of citizenship, certificate of naturalization.

*** Moved from Bringing Family of USC forum to IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures, where topics about I-864 for spouse of USC are discussed *** Thanks for the clarification. Refer to page 8 of the I-864 form instructions for the financial documents to submit -- https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf From petitioner and joint sponsor -- "If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Do not include copies of these forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your Federal individual income tax returns rather than a photocopy unless you filed a joint income tax return with your spouse and are qualifying using only your income." From self-employed sponsor -- "...you should have completed one of the following forms with your Federal income tax return: Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business), Schedule D (Capital Gains), Schedule E (Supplemental Income or Loss), or Schedule F (Profit or Loss from Farming). You must include each and every Form 1040 Schedule, if any, that you filed with your Federal income tax return."

Being married to an American is definitely a big factor for the visa denial. Of course there are spouses of Americans who have been granted B visas. You'll even find a few reports from them if you browse this forum. Those spouses were able to convince the interviewing officer of their very strong ties to their home country.

It doesn't say that I-94 is no longer necessary. It says I-94 is no longer paper-filed, because it is now online. Still very much necessary. Your soon-to-be spouse will not be able to adjust status without an I-94 record. Review the I-485 instructions here -- https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-485instr.pdf

*** Moved from Bringing Family of USC forum to Tourist Visas forum *** They gave him a paper with the denial reason, didn't they? It must have said something like "refused under INA 214(b)". It means they don't believe he intends to leave the US if he is able to travel there with a B2 visa.

Have you followed the instructions from @Family about getting your mom's US records?

Your VJ profile indicates you are pursuing IR1/CR1 visa. Are you the beneficiary petitioned by your US citizen wife? Is your wife self-employed? Does your brother file taxes MFJ with his wife?

I suggest you send a follow-up email to notify USEM to disregard your previous inquiry as you already grabbed an interview slot through the online scheduler.
