US Immigration from United Kingdom

If someone's K1 was denied due to past mental health issues, could they still visit the USA on an esta visa?

Hi,

My UK passport is expiring in 6 weeks. I want to apply to renew it. Will this cause me any problems on my AOS?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I'll be filing my i-751 at the end of April, as soon as the 90-day window begins. I've read that USCIS asks for evidence that a married couple submitting an i-751 has been living together for the full first 2 years of LPR status. From September 2019 to May 2020, my (US citizen) wife did a 1-year Master's program in a different state from me, and had a separate residence (she lived in student dorms, and we visited each other pretty frequently). In July 2020 we moved into our current place, where we've lived together ever since.

We have a shared bank account and credit cards, filed our taxes together in 2020, and have plenty of other evidence, affidavits, etc. that make it clear that our marriage is genuine. But I'm a bit worried about that period we were living apart. Although we viewed her grad school accommodation as just a temporary residence, I'm still wondering how much that will bother USCIS, since only my name was on the contract for the previous place we lived (both are on the contract for our current place, where we've lived since July).

I'm concerned that this could potentially affect my i-751 application, or prevent me from being able to file my N-400 next year when I reach the 3-year residency mark. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can minimize the chances of this being an issue?

My partner and I, both retired musicians, met on a Keyboard Forum in 2013 traveling back and forth to UK & Virginia to visit each other- using the 90 day visa waiver options.

Last yearwe decided to make it permanent because we were tired of the travel .I filed the F129 and received the NOA dated 7/23/20. It's in California and per the status reports

for that office, it shouldn't be much longer till it's sent to NVC.

We are elderly- I'm 80 & he is 74, so our situation is unlike all stories I've read about here. Our mutual love of music, the arts & many other things brought us together for a wonderful

long distance IPAD & internet companionship and love affair. We love to provide music at care homes, I'm a church musician and we both are very young at heart.

I have 3 questions-
1. If we should change our mind about making it permanent- before he travels here with Approval docs (assuming it's approved) Would we need to formally rescind the F129 process?

- then would we be ok to re-start visiting each other on the Visa Waiver program.. Neither of us want to say goodbye, but I've got a pending major surgery - that will occur in the middle

of all this that could alter our thought process for the permanent solution.

2.Assuming we decide to complete the process, I read somewhere that my financial information would only be necessary if his income and assets don't qualify him on his own.

If someone has had similar situation or can give enlightenment, would appreciate it.

3.Health Insurance- According to an interview at SS office, he will be eligible for Medicare as my spouse after 1 year of marriage.(GN 00303.800) Does anyone have suggestions

for interim period starting on date of arrival into the US. We typically get visitors coverage for the normal 90 days, but will need something much more substantial as a permanent

resident. Looking at the Marketplace (Obamacare- now Bidencare, I assume) so wonder if anyone has accessed this easily.

Thank you in advance for some feedback

On the 24th Feb we got our approval. Amazing timing as we have a 5 week old baby my fianc has returned to the states now.

just out of interest does anyone know roughly the timeline now for the London embassy.

They re not open as we couldn t even register her birth abroad while dad was here.

So I m sure it will be another good few months.

wondering if people have had interviews during this current lockdown.

thanks
