    Ask in the applicable regional forum.

    Yes, it's possible. Notify NVC of the intention, once the petition is approved and transferred there.

    Get married when and where you want, then do the spouse visa. From Mexico, it will take a couple years. If she doesn't abuse the visa, but staying too long or spending more time in the USA than out, she should be able to visit. Unfortunately, the USA does not have "I want to" visas related to immigration. You must choose from the available paths. That what the lawyer proposes has been happening regularly for years, does not make it right. Adjusting status as the lawyer proposes, has it's drawbacks too. She'll be stuck in the USA from entry plus close to a year, without the ability to come and go, or work and will lose her B2 visa as well.

    Correct.

    The FEIE exists because foreign income presumably is taxed in the country where it is earned. A W2 US employee isn't earning that income as foreign income.

    I also said I'm not a tax expert. I'll defer to those who are. But, it just seems counterintuitive that a W2 employee of a US Company, can take the FEIE just because they don't live in the USA.

    Sometimes they do ask. The year you sponsor an immigrant is not the year to delay filing your tax return. If she cannot file it before the interview, then you should have with you, her W2 form and a recent pay stub, as evidence she still has the same job.
  17. pushbrk
    Not really a tax expert, but if you work for a US Company and get a W2 form, I doubt it's proper to take the FEIE to begin with. But yes, this will reduce your qualifying sponsor income to whatever is left over on the "total income" line of your 1040. If you have an offer letter that shows you will return to the same company in the USA, then you can state your "current income" as what is stated on that offer letter, and should be ok.

    Knowing the country would help us answer that question. Unless it's in the Middle East, probably just a few weeks.

    Those will not be returned. A careful read of the instructions told you to send copies.

  22. pushbrk
    Just actual evidence you live together should be sufficient. What do you have to document you live at the same address?
  23. pushbrk
    I'm confused. You would take original documents plus photocopies of them to the interview. Normally, they are handed back to you and they just keep the photocopies. If you only had the originals with you, don't expect them back.
  24. pushbrk
    I would expect a positive result. Looks like you got a junior officer who wasn't qualified to make the decision on their own.
  25. pushbrk
    Your active duty deployment is an acceptable reason for an expedite.

    The I-130 is not a visa application. It's your petition in her behalf. Having a ban in place does not cause the petition to be denied. Just keep the case active at the National Visa Center by contacting them once a year, until it's time to move forward.
