We will see. I am hoping with the COVID we can get the trifecta and get it waived.

They're still occurring (at a slower pace than pre-Covid). Thus why overall final N-400 adjudication data has slowed down.

Not Me, K1 was the best way to go

 

I had no desire to jump thru all the hoops to get married in the PHilippines.

 

I filed my K1 it was approved in about 25 days, I set the interview up in and flew into Manila met my fiance we did the K1 interview, they CO asked about 7 questions and said we are approved.  The CO seemed more excited for me than I was at the time, nice guy he was.

 

Spent couple more weeks in Philippines, hoped on plane for USA with my fiance beside me.  Got home file for 2 year greencard and after that filed for the 10 year greencard.  Never had to do any type of AOS or greencard interview, both were approved only had to go do biometrics for the 2 year GC.

 

Now we are doing her US Citizenship and I am hoping for them to waive that interview as well.

 

K1 was a no brainer for us...........

 

 

If COVID wasn’t a factor, this was really what we wanted to do as well.. file and hopefully be able to go to the states together. So happy it happened for you 👏🏻🙏🏻
 

if I may ask — is AOS not required??

@Allovertheworld's wife did go through AOS but I-485 interview wasn't required in her case; I.e the interview was waived.

Affidavit of Support?

 

I would think it is, I did the K1 visa, I told my wife to figure out the greencard process, it looks simple and only a couple pages.

Oh! Sorry I meant adjustment of status. But this was clarified in an earlier post re: waived interview 👍🏻

Legally you don't have to do it. I have read of more than one person who never adjusted their girl.

 

Technically you are out of status, but they say as soon as you file then you are legal again.  

 

Coming on K1 we wanted to adjust so : We could travel out of the USA,  So my wife could get a DL in my state, and if she wanted to legally work she could.

 

Police will not do anything to a person who is here illegaly, they will tell you they don't enforce Federal Laws only state laws. 

 

So you can adjust whenever it works best for you

They still might have discretion (depending on local laws/policies) to contact BP or ICE:

Seems that experience happened near or in Ohio based on that user's other posts.

I am in North Texas we are chunk full of illegal Aliens, Police will tell you directly they don't enforce Federal Laws. I have been hit a few times by guys with no license, not much police can do about them in my area.
