Thanks for the reply!

His US annual income is 36,000USD before tax.

He hasn't visited me since he left.We never thought that we had to separeated so long time.

He didn't file a joint tax return , because I don't have social number, that's will be a big problem ?

We used to live together when he was in China for 2 years.(House rental agreement, residence permits for foreigners and receipt can prove that our relationship is ture )

Get an amended return.

No need SSN , file a form W 7 to get ITIN with the IRS ( Individual Tax Payer Identification Number ) .

He needs to bring a notorized copy of your passport ( have it notorized at the US Consulate in your location in China ).

See the local IRS office where he is at now to file both W7 and amended return.

Depends on what status used, Married filing Separate is OK, however if filed as single, this can be a red-flag at the consulate, I have seen one post where someone did that and got denied a visa.

 

Best to file an amended return to get this corrected.

Does my husband need to write a letter to explain if he won't accompany me to the interview.

Not necessary. You might need to explain to the VO why you two haven't been together in a year or more come interview time.

Everyone could give me some suggestion or help to analysis case

You asked... hold your breath.

 

Why are you here asking and not your husband? I cannot tell you the red flag I get from this... This is just MY opinion.

 

You know way too much about the process... I cannot tell you the red flag I get from this... This is just MY opinion.

 

Your advantages are just 'ok'. But you postulate a lot of 'evidence' which you never provide here...

 

Disadvantages are NOT economy assurance but WAGE assurances: Chinese wages + American wages... FORGET Chinese wages! That has NO FUTURE MEANING. DO you understand the filing requirements? Again; why is he not here asking these questions????

 

Your being apart for almost a year is also not good... I can't say enough the wrong direction your questions go. Plan a 2 year idea.

 

My Analysis; My Opinion. Easily forgotten.

 

 

Why should this be a red flag? Like Randy points out, there are many Chinese women who are Candle members.

Why should they need to keep silent and only ask through their husband? We should welcome them with open arms.

The fact that she knows the process speaks volumes to me as well, not as a red flag, but as proof of their relationship.

They have been married for almost a year and have known each other longer. They talk about their future and what it will take to be together.

My wife was only a fiancee at the time she was waiting in China. However, she knew the process quite well.

Why? Because we talked everyday. The main subject was her K1 visa application and what we needed to do to get her here.

She is also an independent woman and asked questions through many other different resources.

Cindy strikes me as someone who is like her. Independent, hard working and diligent, What is wrong with that?

First off the I-864 doesn't require 3 years tax returns. From the USCIS website instructions for filling out the I-864

You must provide either an IRS transcript or a photocopy

from your own records of your Federal individual income tax

return for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional

returns may help you to establish your ability to maintain

sufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photocopies

of your Federal individual income tax returns for the three

most recent years.

 

That being said an interviewing VO can ask for anything they please. His income shouldn't be a problem. You said his income in China was 18 K and now he is making 36 K. 125% of the 2011 poverty guidelines for a family of two is $18387.00. He is still working for the same company which shows a steady employment history.

 

 

The issue of who is posting at Candle or how much either of you knows about the visa process is totally irrelevant. They only care you meet the requirements and have a bona fide relationship.

 

The fact that you have a long history together (since 2006) is good evidence of bona fide relationship. Make sure you show plenty of evidence proving that.

 

As near as I can see your case is very strong except for one weak point. He hasn't been back to China to visit in nearly a year. Make sure you are prepared to answer this in great detail. It may be because he just transfered to a new position in the company and couldn't get time off or whatever the reason.

 

Good luck.
