I recently got the notice from NVC that my wife is documentarily qualified and that her case is being forwarded for interview scheduling. However, I had to add/replace documents on each of the three children. Will this delay the scheduling of my wife's appointment?
No it should not. Your wife should bring the all of the documents that were uploaded to NVC (including the recent ones) to the interview. Best wishes!

Would her saving account with about $2000 be enough (as assets) to meet the requirements? Also, how far back does the bank statement need to cover? Does she need to include her checking account statement too??
You should call an immigration attorney to discuss the facts of your case in a free phone consultation. More information is needed to form an opinion.
We all live together. She makes 27,000. Is it enough and will be accepted by USCIS?
The minimum income for a household of 3 is $28,787. It would recommend that you do a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss your options regarding income/sponsor requirements. Best wishes!
We were planning to ask his mother to be a joint sponsor, she lives with us. Now, trying to figure out if she meets financial requirements- she is a widow and have no one depending on her, so her income needs to be a minimum for a one household member. Is that right? The fact we live together... Read more »

You should still go to the appointment. She may or may not attend. If she does not or if she comes and says she does not want to go forward, then the petition is dead. If that unfortunately happens you will need to explore other options. Those options might need you to talk to a lawyer.
If I apply by February or March, is it enough for him to provide the tax return from 2020, 2019, and 2018 or since it is 2022 he needs to file and add 2021 tax return ?
It probably makes better sense for him to file 2021 since it is tax season.
Absolutely! The more you see each other, the better. Make sure to take pictures, meet your fiancee's family and friends, and keep proof of your flight and stay. Document the trip well! Best wishes!

I have a job offer from a UK university and I'm staying in the US (waiting for my green card) and I have my OPT EAD card with me (12 months), can the UK employer hire me remotely? My former university DSO has said that they will authorize it since my work in the UK is strongly related to my... Read more »
That plan doesn’t appear to be fitting your OPT present requirements for employment in the United States especially if you’re hired by a foreign entity.
I am not doing freelancing since I don't know if it's legal and if it's not legal I will wait until I have SSN.
Without a work authorization you are not allowed to derive any income from any professional activities such as free-lancing. You have to apply for an EAD on eligible grounds if qualify.
Pending asylum does not confer any status to an asylum applicant. You are only permitted to remain in the U.S. and may receive an EAD and a Social Security Number to engage in lawful employment.
However, for the purposes of qualifying for an instate tuition you need to discuss it with the... Read more »

Is there a different process for inviting clergy?
It depends on what the pastor is coming to do. If the pastor is coming to teach congregants, preach at services and such gatherings a specific visa is needed. The reason is that the pastor will in effect be working. If the pastor is coming as a guest who will not do any of these things but only to... Read more »

You should check with the airline that you will be travelling with but usually domestic travel does not require a valid visa, only valid ID. I would recommend that you bring the Notice of Action showing that you filed for your green card in case Border Patrol did get involved for some reason. Best... Read more »
He has no family in the US, does not need asylum, and is not an investor. Is lottery his only option left? Are there other options?
The pastor from Ghana qualifies for the diversity lottery. They have to check the US government site to make sure the applications are still open.
Employer didnt find me a project for 5 months. He didnt pay me salary and is asking me to pay for the one month salary paid during the no work period, H1B transfer. He is threatening to collect it from my reference person incase I fail to pay.
Well, this seems like a questionable action, but you appear to have fallen out of status. This appears to be a less than bona fide employer. There is outstanding salary that you are entitled to, but you will have to file a complaint with the Department of Labor.
Your decision to remain... Read more »
Im current on H1B status and have been so since October. Prior to that I was on OPT.
