I 130 question for a wifeof a USC

[olgasosa]

What is the name of your state? Abroad
I am not very clear about a question in the form? it says: If filing for your husband/wife,give last address at which you lived together.
Question.
It means where we live right now? or where we lived before this residence? Sorry to ask something kind of evident my lack of English knowledge leads me to many doubts.

Another question?
We would move to Florida if I get approved as a wife of a USC but we have not rented yet? We would do it as soon as we get there. What to answer when the form requires the Adress in the United States where your relative intends to live.

I would appreciate some help with these doubts.

thanks ,
Olga

another question on I 130 form fora wife

My USC husband had a previous marriage so his ex wife gother residence through him being a resident by then,(many years ago) and he does not remenber when and not exactly where. Is it a very important information that can cause problems like have to find out that information, or the application could be sent back?
Does anyone have some experience with issues like that?

He needs to do the best he can in providing the last 5 years of his residence. He can refer to bills, letters, tax returns, etc. for the time he had lived at that address.

In this question "the last" means the same as "the most recent". If you are living together now, it would be the address you are at now. (it IS a tricky English question! )

About your 2nd question, are you completing I-130 with an I-485?
If you are in the US, you should use your current address.

When you DO move, take care to transfer your case and change your address the correct way so that your case is not accidently closed.

This article might help you get organized.. you are going to have to make yoiur own list of what all is required: http://www.familybasedimmigration.com/forum/showthread.php?t=824

However, I think it's a good idea to have the visa application ready when you submit the I-130 documents. Ask the officer if they will accept them at that time to open your file and potentially speed things up. You can ask them for the specific police check and medical exam details then, allowing you to get the rest of your papers together faster.
This is especially useful in countries with poor postal mail service.

The I-864 will be presented at the interview.

I recall that I only submitted the ID page of my US passport since I was using it to establish my citizenship for the I-130.

If it is a long trip to your Consulate, go in overprepared to save yourself return visits. Especially when you know you will need a document later on, carry it all with you.

Which is the Visa application?
What form are you talking about?

What about the affidait support?
I know my USc husband needs to fill one and the co-sponsor because he cannot show enough incomes?

What about me?

Thanks very much, You have helped me a lot.

The visa application is DS-230--it is 4 pages total. Sometimes the Consulate will accept it at the same time as the I-130 package so you can get a faster start with them.
The visa application/interview will require a list of documents commonly called "Packet 3" so you can find out what they are.. your police certificates, your medical check, your military records, your full birth certificate etc.
You can try to get the LOCALLY used list when you file the I-130 so you know what they want exactly.

If your USC spouse does not earn enough income in the US currently, he can use assets (see form I-864 instructions) and/or a Joint Sponsor.

If you have INCOME that will continue being paid to you when you live in the US, you may count that income with your husband's I-864 (we did this).

Please visit the article I linked before; I think you will find it very helpful!

Olga,

I came across your post after submitting my own. I do hope you were able to get all this squared away. It would have drove me batty. My dad retired stateside as a Marine and a professor, then joined the police force and retired again as a police detective, then went to work for a company that handled commercial equipment along with a lot of military leases and purchases, and finally retired from work completely. I helped him with squaring away his Social Security Retirement. It was a nightmare. And, it didn't help that went and joined the volunteer fire dept at 84 yrs old, had a heart attack, which left him on the side of the road w/his 5 dogs while on his 5-mile walk. He walked his 5-miles a day only because his old legs weren't able to take him the 10-mile runs he pushed me into doing each morning before going to work when we were younger. One of the younger volunteer firefighters found him by the road, called for the paramedics & their fire house, then started CPR. He saved Dad's life. Dad needed surgery to place 4 stents in his heart, which prevented him from qualifying as a firefighter, even at the volunteer level. They also found that he had glaucoma when he was in the hospital.

Dad passed away 4 years ago this month (December 2017). He was a combat veteran who moved up in rank during the Korean War & Vietnam Conflict before he was sent stateside and given his own platoon training 'New Boots' and turning them into Marines. After he retired, he taught on campus as a professor. I still don't know how he found time to get thru college in the midst of it all. I'm proud of him. Every annoying minute of working thru this Social Security, his military retirement & police force retirement w/Social Security... as agonizing as it was, I'm glad I was able to help him with it. And I know how dogged tired a person can get dealing with the military and the government when you're attached to a service member.

Good luck and I hope you were able to work everything out.
