    I'm confused by this, how did you apply too early? Did the USC parent not have enough time in the US?

    Ooops yes, typo - I-864 definitely relevant!

    It's probably because foreign income cannot be used unless it will continue from the same source when you move back to the US. If it will continue, then you'll just need to provide evidence of that at interview. Good luck.

    I suspect you're looking at outdated information - it did used to be 6 months. Follow the link I gave you previously, which says the following - "Police certificates expire after two years, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued." https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html It's very odd that they're asking you to schedule the interview, and that they're asking the petitioner to do the medical. Can you give us the exact wording (maybe upload a copy of the email - redacting any identifying info)? These are the steps for an interview at Frankfurt usually (but only done after you receive the interview letter from NVC who schedule it for you) - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/FRN-Frankfurt.html When were you DQ'ed? I'm wondering if perhaps you missed the interview letter and original appointment and that's why you're having to schedule it now. If you could fill your timeline in (on your profile) it would be super helpful. And what does your CEAC status say?

    New background checks will be done anyway, the police certs are valid for quite a long time, if you've only just submitted them to NVC then they should be good for quite some time (possibly indefinitely depending on the circumstances). Why are you self scheduling? Or is this just for the document check appointment?

    That’s perfectly normal and in fact you don’t want to have heard anything else - because it would have been a RFE if you had. As you know, it’s ~17 months for I-130’s (and that’s for 80% of them - so don’t panic if yours is one of the 20% that takes longer). So you’ve still got a little while to go. It doesn’t sound as though an I-864 is relevant to you.

    Can't see why it would be. Plenty of people log in from different locations i.e. home/work/cell with no issues. Oh, and fire the 'consultant' and make sure you get your money back!

    Are they Indian? The doc drop off is the first step and that’s for everybody. Only after that will the decision be made on if they need an interview or not.

    Just in case you've not seen the announcement today, it looks like it won't be possible for you to adjust status -

    Yeah, as @Crazy Cat said, you need to file urgently - otherwise all of the money you've spent so far could be wasted if she's deported. I'm assuming you had a joint sponsor if you can't afford the $1500 so could you borrow it from them? And I'd have a good read up on the rest of the process so that you understand all of the steps and fees, including the removal of conditions which will be here before you know it! Good luck.

    Are you applying online? You’ll be guided as to the format and file size on there. It would be easier if you kept all questions about the I-130 submission on your existing thread about it - not sure if you saw the answers people gave you there?
  32. appleblossom
    So not actually a tie then, she can do that from anywhere in the world. I'd leave it and apply again if her circumstances change.

    But YOU changed your name after marriage? So that is your legal name. You don’t need to have officially changed it in any way. I changed my name after marriage, never went through any legal process to do so. Just started calling myself by my new name and provided my marriage certificate as proof of the change (for passport, bank account etc). Which it did.

    I agree with @Boiler, I’d be getting a lawyer given the current climate. You’ve not said which country you’re from originally? If it’s a high fraud one a lawyer may be even more vital. The UK travel is useful in proving you didn’t intend to AoS but only if it wasn’t fully refundable. A cynical immi officer might think you’d booked hotels exactly for that reason! Did you apply for the B visa before the pause was announced? That would be better proof than the UK plans IMO - again a cynical officer might think you’d applied for a B visa as soon as the pause was announced to circumvent it.

    That bit is for self employed, but I think the OP is at the NVC stage according to his/her profile. So these would be the relevant instructions https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents.html But agreed, transcripts would be better, and probably worth waiting for.
