US Immigration from England

Hi all,

I have my spousal Visa approved and will be entering the states soon.

Is it legal for me to start sending in job applications saying I have the right to work? I'll be free to work once I enter the country and would like to get myself on a few radars!

Thanks!

So long story short, I ve never had a job before and currently do not have one as I have been focusing on my education my whole life. My fianc is in the UK and I m in the US. I live with my grandmother and mom, to which my grandmother agreed to be a joint sponsor. My question is is it going to be an issue that I ve never had a job before? No employer, never filed taxes etc. What do I put down on the I-129-F form for example where it says employment history/current employer ? I don t want them to think we can t provide for him to live here and immediately decline because I put down NA or something. Should I put down student? Since my grandmother is going to be the joint sponsor, would she handle all the details about financial information when it comes to that point? This is all so much to process and learn about, and im still learning a lot but it s very overwhelming and I wanted some advice from here and different opinions. I have more than enough money in savings which is another reason I ve never had a job, so I do have enough to support over time just not a current income.

Hello,

My partner and I are currently in a bit of a panic, attempting to figure out our next steps.

Medical Examination at London Embassy on 12/29/2023 (Dec 29th):

During his medical exam, he was asked if he ever had mental health issues or a history of self-harm. He indicated he had a history of self-harm from when he was 15 years old (he is now 32 years old). The medical doctor asked him to have his general doctor (GP) submit a statement that he is not a risk to himself or others. Once this statement was received, then the embassy doctor would submit the medical exam directly to the embassy for the final interview.

Current Issue

The two active GPs at his local medical practice have been on holiday/vacation or booked since the medical exam, but he was able to get in today to see one of them. We figured the GP would sign off and we would be on to the final interview without issue, however, this GP is moderately new to his medical history (~2 years) and said he would like to have at least a month maybe two of monitoring of my partner before he would sign off. He indicated that he personally, he doesn't think my partner is a threat to himself or others but because his medical license is at stake if he signs off on it and something were to happen in the US (he is concerned about US and gun violence) that he would lose his license. My partner and I are absolutely shocked and shattered, especially with his history of mental health issues being over 16 years ago.

Where are we currently:

I129-F Notice Type: Approval Notice

Valid from 09/27/2023 to 01/26/2024

K1 Visa Interview at London Embassy is scheduled for 02/08/2024 (Feb 8th)

My partner is currently calling to have his interview date moved.

We have attempted to contact the USCIS contact center without luck to request an extension of the I129-F for a month or two from now until his GP finally decides to sign off- however I've only been able to receive an automated voice response without any human/representative. Is anyone aware of a similar situation or has any advice?

Thanks,
B

Hello, I hope I'm posting this in the right topic.

I have a few general questions about potential immigration to the US. I have wanted to move to the US for the last few years and have decided this year to attempt.

My questions are -

What would be the best route for me to take? I don't have a university degree however I am considering getting one if it improves my chances of immigrating.

Would I be able to work in the US on a B2 visa? I have seen on Google that you can only apply and interview for jobs on that visa and nothing about working on the B2 visa.

Would the Green Card Diversity lottery be a viable option? I am a British citizen, I have lived in England all my life and currently hold a British and Polish passport.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello,

My partner and I received our I-797 Notice of Action for I129-F and we are concerned because our interview date at the London Embassy is outside of our Notice Approval Validity.

I129-F Notice Type: Approval Notice

Valid from 09/27/2023 to 01/26/2024

Medical Examination completed at London Embassy on 12/29/2023 (Dec 29th)

K1 Visa Interview at London Embassy is scheduled for 02/08/2024 (Feb 8th)

Our concern is that the 129-F approval is valid only until 01/26/2024 but the interview is scheduled for 02/08/2024. We have attempted to contact the USCIS contact center without luck to request an extension. Is anyone aware of a similar situation?

Thanks,
B
