Couple of questions for CR1 visa DCF London
Hi,
So I'm part way through my process (filed the i30 form, was approved, filed the ds260 and booked my medical and interview for this month) and I have a couple of questions still:
1) we paid $525 at the beginning for the i130 petition, is there still a visa fee to pay after the interview?
2) My wife is in the UK, so even though she is employed and earning money in the UK, on her i864 she writes "unemployed", is that correct?
3) I have a digital copy of her most recent tax return, will that suffice or should I order transcripts from the IRS website? Will digital transcripts do, printed out?
4) For my joint sponsor i864, do I also need to provide the original document as their proof of citizenship or will a copy do? (i.e. can I provide a photocopy/scan of their passport?)
Thanks so much for your help! This process is stressful!

Yes. The I-130 fee is NOT for the visa but for the processing of the I-130. The visa portion is separate, as is the courier fee, the medical fee, etc.
No, it is not correct. She is working so why would she lie and say she was unemployed? Just because her UK income is not useable on the I-864 to show means to financially sponsor you, she is still employed.
Sorry but I don't have a clue what "digital" copy of her tax return is. There are copies of her filed returned and tax transcripts she can order from the IRS in the US. Either will do.
A copy of their US passport and/or a copy of their certified copy of their US birth certificate is fine.

A digital copy, meaning it's not on paper yet. it's just a file that needs to be printed out.
So she should fill out her job but put her income as $0?
Also, when filling out the total income for the past 3 returns, the last filing was with her ex husband so it was joint income, the tax return doesn't split that up into individual amounts, so should I write the joint amount which is technically what is stated on the form?

No, she earns a wage. Put down her salary and be sure to indicate it is UK monies.
It doesn't matter. She cannot financially sponsor you either way since she does not have a US income and/or does not have assets equal to the amount required. They just need to see that she has filed her US tax returns and is current.

You question is on the confusing side. Either she had income from her employment or she did not.
The I-864 requires a copy of her last income tax return and data off the last three returns. If she was working in the UK, her income will be reported on the return. The reported income should match the income tax return.

Now you indicate she is not an American Citizen.
You might want to clarify.

She is an American citizen living and working in the UK for a UK company earning GBP and will be moving back to the US with me when the visa is granted

Maybe you need to review her returns and have them corrected.

It is considered a serious offense to provide false information on a tax return. As is failure to report income. You might want to look into her filing amended return or a late return.

If she filed, then must be amended. If not filed at all, then a late return.

So either way we should convert her UK income to USD and put it on the i864?
