    No one said that you have to buy one way flights, so I don't know how you came to that conclusion. You don't have to explain the Canada thing, but it just makes things more complicated than they need to be.

    I honestly don't understand why you are making this so complicated. You do not need to book one way flights. He can book a round trip from the US to Germany and back to the US. You can book a round trip from Germany to the US and back to Germany, making sure that you book the same flight from Germany to the US as his return flight. Once you are in the US you can cancel your return flight. I also don't get why you insist on a layover in Canada, but you do you. Good luck!

    They use estimated processing times that are posted on the USCIS website, so to me it makes more sense to just look up estimated processing times yourself (which is free). It depends on the airport and your travel arrangements. If you have a layover at a Canadian airport before flying into the US, you may be able to clear immigrations in Canada. If you plan to land in Canada and drive across the border, your port of entry will be at the land crossing so you will go through immigrations there. You can not book the exact same travel itinerary as your fiance, because you will be a no-show for the first part of his travel, so they would cancel your return flight. He will need to book his travel, and as soon as he has the flight details for his flight back to the US, you book the same flight for yourself. You will probably need to book a round trip as if you are planning to fly back to Europe in a few weeks/months (because this is much cheaper than booking a one-way flight), and once you are in the US you can cancel that return flight.

    It would be VERY helpful if you could post the exact language of the 221G instead of just your interpretation of it. We might be able to figure out what it means.

    An interview is not a demonstration of your love for each other. It's a discussion about the details of your application. It is very unlikely that your interview will be waived. It is a long process, so you still have plenty of time to get ready for the interview.

    I had a similar issue with my birth certificate that was in multiple languages including English. I just created a "translation" document that had just the English pieces, included an interpreter statement saying that I am fluent in both languages and the translation is complete and accurate, and submitted that. It felt dumb, but seemed easier than trying to argue.

    The I-693 instructions are very clear about this. Please read the bottom of page 7, and the beginning of page 8, and it explains exactly under what circumstances an I-693 is not required for someone who entered the country on a K-1. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf

    Please stop spreading misinformation. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. If you believe that there are statistics to back your claims, please share links to that information.

    Because you are refusing to share your sister's current status in the US, we can't answer this question. The immigrant's income and assets may be included in some cases, but it depends on the circumstances.
  31. Marieke H
    Don't get hung up on just the visa processing time. While getting a CR-1 visa may take a few more months, it will allow you to start working, driving, etc, immediately after arrival in the US. With the K-1, you will basically be stuck at home for many months after arrival. And to get back to your original question: the chance of winning the DV lottery is very small, so don't count on it. Your marriage-based immigration option has a much higher chance of success, so don't wait to find out the DV lottery results.
  32. Marieke H
    The only option is the truth. You cannot lie about information that could lead to a denial. It is not simply about where you get married; it is about where you intend to live. Your only option is to move to a state where first cousin marriages are legal.
  33. Marieke H
    From your previous posts, I gather that you are well beyond the timeframe to respond to the NOIR. So yes, the only option would be to start over with a new I-130. However, the very first thing you should do is spend a LOT more time together, so you will be able to show a bona fide marriage this time.
  34. Marieke H
    Backfile your taxes, bring copies and proof of payment/payment plans to your interview, and explain the situation during your interview.
  35. Marieke H
    If you have not filed anything yet, please consider getting married and filing for a spousal visa instead. The processing times are similar, but the spousal visa is far superior. He would be able to start working immediately after arriving in the US. You would still need to provide an affidavit of support and proof of income (125% of the federal poverty line), or find a joint sponsor, but it would just make your lives so much easier if he is not stuck at home for who knows how long after arrival.

    Those instructions say exactly what I told you about not needing a new medical; there is nothing confusing about them. You started your post by saying that you have been calling civil surgeons, so naturally everyone assumed that your K-1 medical was incomplete, because that would be the only reason for needing an I-693. If you had asked about the "confusing" instructions we would have just clarified that you don't need a new medical instead of having this long, pointless discussion about civil surgeons.
