US Immigration from Bangladesh

Hi all,

I was hoping to get some advice on a situation. I m a green card holder and filed for my wife s green card under the F2A category back in 2022. She recently received her interview appointment at the Montreal Consulate for the end of October. In the meantime, we ve just welcomed our first child.

Does anyone know how I can add my newborn as a derivative beneficiary to the case? Also, if you have experience with this, could you share the correct email addresses or contacts at the NVC/Consulate where I should send the request?

Many thanks for anyone that might have some insight on this.

I'm sponsoring my brother and his wife from Bangladesh. After a long wait his Serial number finally happen and I received email to pay Affidavit and visa fee. Now I'm filling up I-864 form. I need a little more clarification about the I-864 question..

Question 1) Me and my wife file joint tax return and my earning is more then triple the poverty limit. If I send my tax transcript for 2024, how would they know what is my earning is because Tax transcript have total income not individual (given I don't need a co sponsor).

Question 2) What other documents I should include with the I-864 form.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm 24, from Bangladesh, and I've been in a committed long-distance relationship for more than 4 years with my fiance, who is 74 and lives in the U.S. I know our age gap might seem unusual to some, but what we share is real love, built on deep connection, trust, and emotional support. I'm here because I need guidance; not just with the visa and immigration process, but also with the future of my personal life.

We met online and have talked almost every day since. We've stayed connected through long video calls, shared small gifts, and planned for a future together. We were preparing to apply for the K-1 fiance visa soon and had plans to finally meet in person. But recently, everything changed. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It s not operable, but the doctors said it's treatable with chemotherapy.

His lawyer said he will request a waiver for the in-person meeting requirement (since travel likely won t be possible for him) and submit a request to expedite the visa process due to his condition. We haven't started the process yet. We are trying to stay hopeful, but everything feels uncertain now.

Over these years, I've made personal sacrifices to stay committed to this relationship emotionally, mentally, and in terms of life choices. I don't regret it, but now I'm scared. I had so many dreams of building a life with him. I still want to be with him, to support him, and if possible, continue my future in the U.S. and grow my career. But everything feels fragile.

What I'm hoping to learn:

Has anyone successfully expedited a K-1 visa due to a medical emergency?

How realistic is it to get the in-person meeting requirement waived?

What kind of evidence helps prove a long-distance relationship is genuine if we haven't met yet?

What are the chances (realistically, percentage-wise) that a K-1 visa would be approved in a case like ours, long-distance, no in-person meeting yet, and serious medical condition involved?

And more personally: what would you do in my situation? How do you stay emotionally strong when your future suddenly feels so uncertain?

If anyone has been through something similar, or can offer kind advice or encouragement, I'd be truly grateful. This relationship has meant everything to me, and I'm just trying to do the right thing in a very difficult moment.

Please don't judge my relationship based on your personal view because I can promise you that it's a genuine relationship based on love and respect. And I'm not here to convince you that.

Thank you so much for reading.

I couldn't find monthly thread. So started my own. Please merge if there is already one for this month.

The I-130 for my mother is approved and we re now at the NVC stage. My father s full name <Deleted> is on the I-130 and marriage certificate, but his passport and ID now use an abbreviated form <Deleted> due to new national ID rules in our country. Will this name difference cause issues at NVC, and should we submit an affidavit to confirm it s the same person?
