How long before we can travel outside the USA and return?

Aaron, do me a favor and go away. you're a jerk. You know nothing about our path or why we chose our method of applying. Just go away. 

 

 

You are the one who needs to go elsewhere.  Aaron is one of the most helpful  an knowledgeable people around.  If you had done your research properly, you would not have asked the questions you did. They have been answered on this forum many times.

 

To do what you want to do, you messed up, plain and simple.  If you do not like the US immigration process, you are free to move to your intended's home country. A USC can live anywhere they are welcomed.

You basically asked the same question in September.  Same answers. 

 

If she intends to be a LPR here she is going to have to spend the majority of her time here for the two years after AOS.  You can be gone as often as you need.  She can't until she becomes a citizen.

 

I too have a global business and we both know my wife can't be gone more than 6 months at a time nor more than half of the time before ROC.  We even keep a spreadsheet with out trips together on it.

From what I see here, once she is in the USA and we have applied for her AOS and other docs, she has to stay here because there is an interview? So, what I am asking is, if we are going to be overseas traveling for 6 months on business she we have to wait the full time because there is an interview. I was hoping that when we got closer to the end of the expected waiting period for the AOS that we could leave for 6 months and just have that sent to us to whatever office we are in at the time??

 

I wonder if there is some other kind of process for people that need to travel on business? This is not a situation where she needs approval to work, just re-entry. Ultimately we do what we must, but it is madness how inefficient the government is, as always. The laws were written for people traveling on sailing ships I think, not for a modern global, internet world

The facts are these: if she leaves without Advanced Parole, her AoS is deemed abandoned and she will not be allowed back in at that time. Sure, this can be interpreted as inefficient but this is how things ARE. If traveling was so important, more research should have been done prior to choosing the K1. It is well known that the K1 route has certain disadvantages because it involves AoS, which prevents applicants from traveling and working for several months.

Edit: sorry, did not see @Paul & Mary's post above.

 

Is there a reason you are re-asking this question?  You received good advice in the first thread, and also abused other posters in that thread (which seems to be a trend - are you always this angry).

Didn't even check OP's history. There's no excuse for the ignorance then.

OP selected the wrong visa if travel was necessary immediately after marriage.  One could argue that even applying for a visa was unnecessary since he and his fiance will be splitting their time, making compliance with legal residency requirements difficult.

 

But this is all the government's fault apparently, as it was in the original thread.

I don't see why they just didn't do the tourist visa route in all honesty.

My guess would be ties to PI.   If the assets are in her name along with a nice bank account it might work.  Pay the $160 and find out.

OP, you did not do your research very well. If I can pick the right visa at 22 years of age living with mum and dad then I would imagine an international business owner would fare the same if not better. Also, posting the same question every few months hoping for a different answer won't resolve your issues.

Exactly this... He is saying that they both have properties and businesses in both countries. So why not go for the tourist visa instead it would make the most sense.

Most likely, she has already been refused a visitor visa.

He can't own property in PI.  Only she can. But that's a different set of issues.

Maturity is not about age.  You are a mature 22 years old.  There are plenty of older people who lack your maturity.

If he doesn't get what he wants, then the immigration system is corrupt.  Nevermind, that he would hide a marriage ceremony in the PI and use a K-1 to enter the US.

 

If he doesn't get what he wants, then anyone talking about the CR-1 spousal visa is being judgmental.

 

He was told the truth in September 2018.  He gave people grief.  He's back and continues to insult.

Nothing has changed.  

How Trumpian.
