Maybe you already know this, but just want to flag that if the beneficiary has lived anywhere outside of the UK for over six months they will need also see a police certificate for that country. I know it doesn't say that on anything, but we also ran into this issue even though beneficiary (husband) has not lived in his home country since he was 3 years old, we still had to get an additional police certificate for his birth country.

Thank you, we do have enough liquid assets, my concern right now is they're 90% in GBP and 10% in USD. Unsure if this matters?

Yes, but Embassy has already said my current income doesn't count as I haven't worked there long enough to file taxes.

Oops. I meant i-864.

This is useful, thank you! If it's okay to ask, what evidence did your wife provide for your I-485?

Did you use foreign assets or US assets? Thanks!

Well we ran into a bit of an issue during husband (beneficiary)'s recent appointment so I am hoping to get some advice here. Basically my (USC)'s I-864 was insufficient because while I filed taxes abroad every year while being employed and living in the UK, those income counted as 0 and therefore not met the minimum income level. Just wanted to ask if it's better at this point to just count all of husband's foreign liquid assets, and my savings (all of these accounts our separate, as in they're his foreign assets and my foreign assets) which would put us comfortable over 3x the requirement. We do not have any US assets. Or should we just find a joint sponsor which is what the embassy recommended (as it seems to be a more common path people take). Thanks!

I-864 will be submitted once the embassy approves your initial I-130. They will mail you a letter with this link: https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/how-to-apply-2/ and ask you to complete all the steps and ignoring the NVC part. Your foreign spouse will be bringing the I-864 with them to their appointment.

Hi everyone, not sure if this is a special case but thought I'd ask here I'm a USC living in the UK for the last 5 years on a Tier 1 Visa My partner of 3.5 years is an Austrian national who grew up in the UK with settled status (not dual, due to Austria's single passport rule) Timeline so far: 1. Gave notice for our marriage with our council on 25 April, 2023 2. I received a job offer in America on 5 May, 2023 with a start date of 10 July, 2023 3. Our marriage notice was not referred to the home office, meaning we're free to marry after the 28 days noticed 4. We are due to register our marriage on 16 June, 2023 5. I wrote to the US consulate in London inquiring about DCF, and was given a link to apply My question at this stage is: Option 1: Is it better to request DCF right now, while giving the consulate all of the information above? Option 2: or is it better to wait to request DCF until the day of/day after our marriage (so 16 or 17 or June, 2023)?
