After interview my wife and one step child's status moved along to Issued rather fast but one of the childrens statues still says administrative processing. Is this typical?

US Embassy Thailand CR1 Interview date November 1st 7:30 am How early should we arrive and how long should we plan to be there? I understand I can not accompany my wife inside for the interview. She wants to show up early.. is this just a line outside to get in? How early will they allow her to go inside? Does 7:30 mean 7:30 or is it similar to a doctor appointment? I understand the actual interview could only last a few minutes but is there waiting time after the interview? Hoping to get an idea of what to expect that day. Thanks for any input.

Can someone explain how the gss system works? We are days away from our interview in Thailand but she can't seem to figure out what needs to be done. Wife and two stepchildren. Do they each need their own account/email or is it all done under hers? She gotten bad advice from her Thai Facebook group and she's even more confused now. I'm not sure how to help but this forum has been great help so far when hers has failed us. So again hope to get advice 🙏

You are a lifesaver. Thank you so much for your help 🙏🏼

I appreciate the reply. So if I understand you correctly, there's no need to list it anywhere other than adding the income to the sponsor 's income as shown on the taxes. Then I will also submit the award letter from social security along with the form?

My sponsor has a job but also collect s social security retirement... I can't find any answers on how to list it on income.. I didn't think I could put it as employer number two... So should I write it in on page 10?

I am a US citizen, married to a Thai woman with two children. My mother is our joint sponsor We are currently working on submitting our I-864 documents. I have some confusion about a few things. For the stepchildren will I be using form i-864w? Page 3 do I select yes for #1 and also check the box for #2 then list the children as family member 1 &2?

This is what they have in Thailand to show you've changed your name. This is what we got for both kids and my wife for all of their name changes.

I see. We have certificates for all of her name changes already as that's how we read it but I understand your way of going about it as well. It wasn't something we considered. Do you believe this will be fine or would you suggest we also provide a marriage certificate for her first marriage? Thank you for the information

I'm referring to the marriage certificate from the original marriage which you stated I needed but the instructions only say divorce papers nothing about marriage certificate from the first marriage

I have the divorce certificate but I wasn't aware I needed the original marriage certificate if I'm understanding you correctly?

Up until assembling I thought I had everything but starting to second guess myself. Hoped to run a few things by everyone I'm sending in for my wife and two step children Do I need 3 separate copies of my birth certificate or will they pull it from my wife's file? My wife was previously married. She changed back to her maiden name after the divorce. She took my last name after we married. Do I need certificate of name change for when she first married, when she divorced and when she took mine? Thanks

I'm getting mixed information. I-130 instructions say to add passport photos of myself as the petitioner...but others are telling me no. Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks

126/3 Village No.15, Ratchada Village Puea Sub-district, Chiang Klang District Nan province 55160 How exactly do I write this in the space provided when doing by mail. Is the city or town considered the sub district or district or are both listed there? Thanks

I am a disabled American who draws SSI. However I'm able to work to a certain degree and have had other small jobs in the past five years. Under employment history do I listed under employer 1 disabled and the starting date? If so is anything else needed there? I've done some gig work for GrubHub which I'm technically a self-contractor for. Do I just list GrubHub and their corporate headquarters? Thanks
