F2A Processing

Hi, need some help please.

My wife got her visa though the DV lottery - 2022. She has just landed in Houston, TX.

We want to start my visa application but don't know how to start or the fastest way to proceed.

A few points to be considered.

We got married in 2021 but have been in a relationship since 2018.
She was selected as a winner in May 2021, we got Married in January 2022, added me as a derivative and was invited to the interview, however I wasn't able to attend the interview due to work.
I am outside the US, so it will be through consular processing.
She is still looking for a job.
She is staying with her friend.
She hasn't received her green card yet(Can she start the application before receiving the GC?)

Any information will be appreciated.

Kind regards
 
There will be nothing fast about this process like we already told you back in September 2022 before you decided to not attend the interview with your wife. Yes she can definitely start the family sponsorship process for you now, this could take up to 2 years to complete. You both can begin to familiarize yourself with and start the process by going through the below link which I did provide you with back in 2022

 
Thanks for your reply. I am well aware that it is not fast. What I asked is the 'fastest' way. Concurrent filing of different forms, etc which is not mentioned anywhere can perhaps quicken the process, I-130A form, etc. The link has very general information and I have gone through it. Also, it's not that I DECIDED not to attend the interview. It's that I wasn't ABLE to (It wasn't in my control).

You have answered previous posts and helped us with a lot of information, but if you have nothing constructive to say, there's no need to reply to every post. Maybe there are others who have first hand experience who can help.

The reason I'm asking this questions with those points mentioned is because I believe every case is different and most information available online is pertaining to AOS.

The link in your reply does not answer questions like does the petitioner need to have a source of income while submitting the I-130, when does income have to be proven, etc.

Thanks.
 
First of all, you don’t get to tell me or anyone else in this forum to not respond to a publicly posted question. Any forum member is free to respond to any publicly posted question even if the response may not be what you were hoping to get.

There’s no ‘fastest’ way - you were provided with the official link with a step by step guidance of what the process entails. If you can’t be bothered to carefully go through the link, by reading through each step and the additional links contained in there (which is obvious to me based on you asking about fastest way, concurrent filing, claim of only AOS being available, etc), maybe you should go hire an immigration lawyer in that case. And if you bother to open the I-130 form itself or the instructions for filing the form, you wouldn’t be responding about the official source not containing information as to if the petitioner needs to have an income or not before filing the I130!
 
Conceited? lol - you wouldn't be the first previously appreciative later turned ingrate ... yeah, have a good day!
 
Previously appreciative then turned ingrate. Still appreciative of help provided earlier.

BUT, I am not the first person to point things out on the way you respond to posts.

So maybe take some time off, reflect on yourself as to why many people change their opinion on how they feel about you while being appreciative at one point in time.

Tone matters, as I said before, no response is better than a rude response.
 
Hello @Sm1smom

1. I am a parmanent resident and applying for my spouse to join me and wondering if the form I-130A is filled through my online USCIS a count. Or w we rather download the form, fill it in black ink and attach it as any document

3. Regarding financial support, do I use form I-864 as an affidavit of support or we use form I-134

Thanks all for the continued responses and feedback
 
1. Form I-130A is a supplemental form you’re supposed to file with the I-130 to sponsor your spouse. I don’t know if the I-130A can be submitted online or not with the I-130, you’ll need to check on that. If it can’t be submitted online, then you’ll need to mail both forms.
2. I-864 is the only affidavit of support you’re eligible to use.

p.s. you do not need to tag when with your questions, just post them and any member willing and able to can respond.
