US Immigration from Senegal

So, with the Senegalese airspace open since July 15, is anyone thinking about visiting Senegal? It was looking kind of like a possibility (if ill-advised...), but now the US embassy page has a warning about foreign nationals not being allowed in, though I can't find mention of this on any other websites. Does anyone know anything?

I don t polies for my spouse and he has his visa approved. In the process I was assigned to an overseas work assignment for three years. I am on an a-2 visa in South Korea and want to bring my step kids here while we wait for USCIS to approve the US immigration. Has anyone had any experience with this type of process? I have been reading and it looks like it could be possible if the Korean immigration adds them under me as their sponsor.
thanks

Hello all,

My spouse's signature does not normally include both names. Instead he writes "PS" with an upside down cross drawn through it, and then a strikethrough/underline. It's not recognizable as his name and is difficult to fit in the signature box, since it's tall instead of long. Is this acceptable? Should he just sign our I-130 form in cursive?

His identification papers and our marriage certificate all have this signature.

Thanks,

Hi all,

We've been married 2 years and are residing in my spouse's home country. We're filling out form I-130 and putting together the accompanying packet of documents.

I'm seeing references to the following forms all over the place - Do we need them?? Especially the travel document? Or are they for fiance visas or later steps?

• I-145 app to register permanent residence
• I-765 app for employment authorization
• I-131 app for travel document

Any other sneaky documents we don't know about?

Thanks!

Hi,

Just starting out on this journey. My husband and I have been married for over 2 years. I have lived in his home country of Senegal for 3 years. We have been "together" for 4 years, so that first year was a single visit + mostly distance.

Leases

I started out renting my own places in Senegal, then we moved in together the day after our wedding in 2018. The apartment was in my name until a couple of months ago, when I put it in both of our names. I included this new joint lease in the packet. Question: Should I also include my old leases proving I've lived here? One issue is that the very first apartment in 2017 had no lease, just the ones after, so there's a gap. But I have photo to prove I was here.

Plane tickets

Since I've been living here, my plane tickets have just been to visit the U.S. for up to 1 month, then fly back to Senegal. Everyone says plane tickets help with proof - I didn't keep any, but my mother may have old emails of flight confirmations and informal itineraries surrounding my visits TO the US and back. Question: Do I need to include all this, since I have my leases and photos?

Messages/Call Logs

We lost all our messages from June 2016 until July 2018 because we were using the app IMO and we both changed phone and lost the acct info..... I arrived in Senegal in 2017, so it's really 2016-2018 that was lost, which is 2 years, 1 of which was distance. That's a long time. Question: Is this a massive problem? We have plenty of photos from 2017 on... but not that year of distance...

Thank you for your help!
