I'm a US citizen, I got married in India last year, I filed an I-130, then I accepted a job in Europe and moved there with my wife. Then my I-130 got approved and my case got forwarded to NVC. My plan is to live in Europe for another 2 years. But I would like to get a greencard now. My question is about the affidavit of support. I don't have a salary in the US right now and although I intend to return in a couple of years to the US, right now I don't have a firm job offer from the US showing a salary. AS far as assets go, I have about half the money in my US bank account which is required. Can I do the following... can my Dad wire the rest of the money to my bank account so that I have enough assets? Now will the NVC be suspicious of this? I mean, it's like a gift from my Dad. But is there any rule that the money has to be in my account for X months before the application or something like that?
A question on the side: I have read in other topics that while the I-130 is being processed, the applicant probably cannot get a tourist visa approved to the US. But once the I-130 has been approved, but the rest of the process is still going on, can the applicant get a tourist visa?
