US Immigration from Colombia

Hi there.

My girlfriend of two years in coming to study in the US. Our intent is not to change her immigration status while here of course but we plan to get married.

When she finishes this semester she will return to her country for a few months.

She has her own money and I am financially secure.

The question is I would like to show commitment to her by getting married before she leaves her country. I will be there.

Even though we haven t decided whether we want to live in the US nor whether she will apply for a green card, will marriage in her country BEFORE she leaves cause us grief if she ever decides to want to live in the US?

To that is end, if we do get married in her country and she comes here to the US to study (again we are not sure we want to live here), would it make sense to also get married here (I want to do it for my family) or not?

I know these actions are delicate. Again we are not sure what we want long term except to be together and we are both going back to her country and to travel in the winter.

Will marriage mess stuff up in the long run if we don t try and change her status?

My fear is that it will somehow mess things up. But if I m reading it right marriage means nothing to the folks at immigration unless there is a status change. Right?

Thanks.

Good day everyone,

How many notices/letters by mail we 'Petitioners' get by regular mail here in the US? I'm having issues with our Condo mail boxes - USPS says it may take 2months to get right -

This is my timeline.. Will I get any more letters/Docs? or thats it?

1st Letter -- NOA - receipt date 01/21/2020 -

2nd Letter -- RFE - pictures didn't have dates - 04/17/2020 -- sent a lot / very detailed (everyone who is just starting, dont make the same mistake - write on the back of pics the dates)

3rd Letter - NOA2 - 06/23/2020 - Notice of Approval (Valid from 06/23/20 to 10/22/20) - didnt do anything since on other threads all said it was extended automatically due to Covid

JUST EMAIL - from NVC - 06/08/2021-- approved I-129F will now forward petition to Bogota Embassy -- with Case# Receipt#

will all other documents be received by the beneficiary? or what else do we get?

With my fianc 's interview now behind us, we are waiting for medical exam results to be sent to the embassy and a decision to be made, we are starting to think about how to move to the US. We will donate furniture and appliances to her family, but we still have a lot of things that we need to move that simply can't be replaced and I think will be too much even with excess baggage costs for the airline. Any ideas? The other idea is on a cargo ship from Cartagena, but we aren't sure if this is feasible.

To follow these instructions "Supporting evidence must be attached to establish location, ownership, date of acquisition, and value", I would like to know which paper/document I should obtain exactly and how, in the case I am an expat in the country of Colombia who is sponsoring his Colombian spouse for immigration and not having income, but being owner of 2 homes... ? Thanks.

How long after the approval of a N-400 is the norm for the scheduling of the citizenship oath at the Fairfax Office? Thanks.
