    Have you tried a different browser? If so, it could be an issue with the portal itself, especially since it is Sunday and they (the government in general) tend to like to do maintenance on Sundays without notifying anyone.

    First things first and it seems you guys have quite a bit of work to do. - She needs to file taxes for at least the last 3 years; she can file Married filing separate with you as NRA - Maybe I missed it but I didn't see too much about about income. Does her income come from the US and will it continue once you relocate? Most importantly, does she have enough to meet the limits to sponsor 3? It sounds like you may definitely need a joint sponsor. - I would start establishing residence using mom's address (if mom approves), even if just "temporary." - Investigate whether or not she has that bank account still and see if it's been officially closed of if it's just dormant, if dormant I would try to make it active again with a deposit and make sure the address on the account reflects her mom's address. This is just a start and I'm sure I missed a few things and of course others may have better suggestions. In any case, good luck.

    This can be pretty complicated. You may be able to get a job without the equivalency depending on what the field is. This is more difficult if the job requires specific licensure. My recommendation would be to look carefully at the requirements for your particular career in the state you plan on living in, paying close attention to what particular agencies require (ie Board of Engineers, Association of Widgets, etc) and see what is necessary to meet those requirements. Some agencies want you to have foreign degrees reviewed by specific organizations and you may also be required to take some courses to meet the equivalency. Good luck.

    You should fill in your timeline so people can maybe give you better advice. Aside from that, it may be difficult, though not impossible, to get a B2 visa (tourist visa). You'll have to apply for the B2 and pay the fee and see if they approve it. You do need to make sure all questions are answered honestly and truthfully on the application - if you don't this could cause big, difficult-to-fix problems at your interview later for the CR1. Not sure which country you're from, but it may be much simpler for your spouse to go there for a quick visit. In either case, best of luck!

    Do the application. See how long it takes and PLEASE make sure you go with him to the interview. I am sure the CO will be delighted.

    Yup. I have Peru citizenship through my spouse. No, and I mean absolutely no options for me to have brought my parents, siblings, cousins, or what have you. None.

    There are actually lawyers who specialize in enforcing the I-864 sponsorship agreements on behalf of the immigrant as well as lawyers who specialize in defending the sponsor and they all advertise as such, so I am assuming it actually goes to courts all throughout the country way more than we may realize or want to believe.

    You might try checking the immigration timelines on this site for Lima (Peru) K-1s for an idea of wait times. It will also be helpful if you fill out your timeline.

    Maybe I should have said TSA - there is someone from TSA checking my passport and entering information in a computer when I'm leaving.

    When you leave the US you go through immigration - usually right before the bag screening - there you use your UK/US visa passport. I don't think it matters what passport you use to check in for the airline but I usually use my Peru passport (when I am going to Peru) or else the system sometimes tells me I need to check in at the airport counter (which I absolutely hate). Of course, when you get to NZ, you'll use your NZ passport.

    OMG, everybody needs to turn off MSNBC or whatever propaganda media you're watching and take a deep breath. First, I've been watching/using this site for a long, long time and what I noticed over the years is that when Trump was President, with many people going through this process during that time, if their process was like one day late, they were all like "Trump this!" or "Trump that!" During the Biden Administration, I never heard any of that same sentiment; complaints about the delays sure but never direct blame to Biden even when the process was taking not days longer but months longer. My personal experience: we applied in the last year of Trump's presidency and the initial process for us was super fast. Thereafter, Biden came in and the remainder of the process seemed to slow to a snail's pace. Biden's fault? I can't say; however, it seems to me when you open the borders to a flood of people who claim "asylum," suddenly all of those agents who were working on a regular flow of activity (ie, the cases of the people on this very site) are dealing with an unprecedented amount of asylum applications. Just my personal opinion for what it's worth.

    Have your spouse add you as an account user on his/her cards if he/she has a good score. I had done this WAY in advance of moving to the US and my wife (the one immigrating) had a score almost as high as mine....like 750. Ours were Barclays, AmEx and Discover...

    From i-864 instructions: You may include the net value of your home as an asset. The net value of the home is the appraised value of the home, minus the sum of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home. If you wish to include the net value of your home, then you must include documentation demonstrating that you own it, a recent appraisal by a licensed appraiser, and evidence of the amount of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home. You may not include the net value of an automobile unless you show that you have more than one automobile, and at least one automobile is not included as an asset.
