  1. I don't think anyone here will google the entry requirements for each and every country you want to visit. Best of luck!
  2. Each country has their own requirements; you can usually visit the country's website/their diplomatic mission's website to learn about entry requirements. For example, this is the information for Canada: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/inadmissibility-interdiction-eng.html You will need to look up for each country you want to visitl
  3. You would have to search for similar recent Paris experiences. I know that for the consulate in Montréal, it's usually 6-8 extra weeks. Most locations are faster, a few slower...
  4. Seasonal influenza vaccine is usually only required during flu season. Other vaccines depend on age. It's possible to request a waiver, it usually add about a year to the process. If you search the forums for vaccine waivers, you'll get more details on how to proceed/what's required.
  5. Wait to see what kind of documents you get, you'll then have instructions on how to proceed. I find it doubtful that an adult name change would happen when their parent get married, but who knows? Please come back to let us know what the documents say.
  6. No one but the embassy will be able to give you a definitive answer. Did you reach out to them?
  7. Will, living will, healthcare proxy? These are important documents, not just for immigration, but in life. Anyway you can move to an area with better employment opportunities? Google your state+career center if you feel your spouse needs extra help; getting settled and finding employment would also create additional pieces of evidence, in case he needs to refile... Best of luck to you two.
  8. Realistically, you are looking at years of separation (unless you are able to visit her long term while you wait), and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. I am not sure how serious things are with your fiancée, or how feasible/palatable the idea of living away from the US is for you two, but you might want to have serious discussions about all that together before going further.
  9. "suppose my fiance owns properties in South Africa, which he rents out as passive income. Is he expected to sell these properties in order to qualify for a work auth? " - then, it is an investment, and no, he is not expected to dispose of his investment (real estate, or otherwise). "There's not even any way to report these earnings to the IRS because it's literally none of their business." - The IRS will certainly be interested in your worldwide income and sources of revenue. You probably won't pay taxes, however, you do have to declare them. Same goes for assets abroad (google FBAR to get started). "I'm neither an economist or a lawyer but I am struggling to see the drawback to make this illegal. " - No one is saying it is the most logical law and rules, and in some ways rules from one entity will contradict rules from another, however as soon as you work and receive compensation/expect to receive future compensation, while physically in the USA, is where it gets darker grey, than simply "grey area". Best of luck to you and your family.
  10. Would be the easiest/cheapest thing to fake - $20 stamp and you're good to go. I've ordered "official" stamps and the verification process was... let's say minimal. Always bothered me.
  11. It's slow because of the volume of applicants in Canada due to its proximity to the US. I don't see the delays improving in the near future. How long before you are eligible to become a Canadian citizen?
  12. Refugees are following a legal path. Otherwise, they'd be underground, without requesting a status, or an EAD.
  13. That's why I prefer to keep it robot-level, plenty of romance, no immigration risk, just sadness when the server dies. https://www.businessinsider.com/soulmate-users-mourn-death-ai-chatbots-2023-10
  14. Where are you residing? You can file for divorce in that state. Not sure if you have any power in deciding which name she will use in the future. Might be a good idea to consult with an attorney to make sure you don't forget anything; might or might not be able to file on your own, depending on the situation, and how comfortable you are with paperwork.
  15. It's a relatively common occurrence, don't panic. Some locations are faster than others at treating files after the interview. You might want to search the forum for recent Paris experiences, to get a better idea. Bonne chance!
