US Immigration from India

Our K1 petition is in transit to the embassy and should be interview ready soon. Yesterday I got diagnosed with umbilical hernia and the doctor mentioned that a minor surgery is not immediately required but advised for the long run. I am not in any pain and it appears as a minute bump on my body. Now we are in a quandary whether to go ahead with the immigration medical and K1 visa interview, and getting the minor surgery done after the interview or should it be done before the immigration interview.

Based on my understanding having a hernia should not be affecting the medical examination but curious to know if anyone has been in a situation similar to ours.

I am USC petitioner and we had interviewed for the K1 and K2 visa ( beneficiary's minor daughter) in Jan 2021.

We were asked for more documentation under 221 G which we submitted and are waiting for our 221G result.

We have been waiting for 7 weeks already and I understand that the 221g time frame is unpredictable.

My fiance (beneficiary ) is in India and is pregnant with the due date in end of August.

If we get the visa approval after July we would like to travel to the USA only after the baby is delivered in India.

I would think that I can apply for baby's USA passport in US-consulate in India and when the baby is a couple of months old , we all can travel back to USA.

Is there any problem in doing so?

I am waiting for the interview to be processed at the US consulate Mumbai but there has been no update on the my CR1 visa yet. My NVC DQ was approved on the 20th of December 2020. It seems like I have arrived dead end. I know the Covid situation is going worse day by day. Just wanted know if there is a way to expedite the process or just to wait with patience. Any advice would helpful!! Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am an F1 student and we filed for AOS last December. We are now awaiting our biometrics appointment letter. I would like to take a semester off to focus on research for my thesis. I understand it would affect my F1 status because then, I would be out of status since I won't be enrolled in school. I've been looking into this and have received mixed opinions from people. Has anyone had a similar experience and dropped out of school after applying for AOS? Thanks!

Hi. Im really interested in opinions regarding the strength of my case when I file a petition for a spousal visa.

I'll make it as brief as I can. We are two males. Im from US. Spouse is from India. Im 55 he is 30. Red flag? Yes. India a high risk country ? Yes.

But please give me your opinion on the strength of our case. We met online about Oct 2017. I have text msgs and money transfers for almost the entire time. A year later in Oct 2018 I went to india for a week. I met his family and have pictures with them. I have one boarding pass but not all. I have hotel receipts and souveniers and other misc documents. Then in December of 2019 we met and married in beunos aires. It was a small wedding. Just my partner and myself a translator, the wedding planner and her two friends, and a photographer. I have our legal marriage license and plenty of pictures and an elaborate affidavit prepared by the wedding planner complete with pics of us shopping for rings and wedding jackets, pictures of our small reception of four people. I also have a video of the complete ceremony recorded by a professional photographer and plenty of wedding pics. I have boarding passes and credit card receipts. And I have a large tattoo prominently showing on my forearm my partners name.. We spent 2 weeks together. I had intended to visit my partner in india at least three times during 2020 to get that all important evidence of spending physical time together. But that didn't happen because of corona. Finally I do understand anyones suspicion that given our age difference that our marriage perhaps was done solely for immigration purposes. But I can only say that after being together for almost four years that im convinced that our love is sincere. We have literally msgd, phoned or videoed every day. So please assume that the marriage is genuine. Ive prepared the petition online several times but it expires each time before I send it in. Im actually afraid of having my petition rejected. Im just wanting hear some opinions regarding my situation and how it could be improved. Should I wait until my partner and I have spent more time together given our age difference? Would filing now be a waste of time and money? I appreciate any input from those whose experience is relevant. Thanks in advance.
