My spouse and I currently live together in her home country (Uzbekistan). We plan to get her LPR via consular processing and live here together in the meantime. My spouse has never been to the U.S. before, I have some family obligations (a family reunion and a wedding) back home this summer, so I thought this would be a great opportunity for her to visit and meet my extended family. Given her nationality, she needs a visa, and I thought we had a compelling-enough story to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent (at least at this particular time). Apparently not. She just had her visa interview and was rejected due to a failure to demonstrate nonimmigrant intent. As soon as the consular officer learned her spouse is a USC, the interview was over. Apparently our documents from relatives showing we have a specific reason for a temporary visit, our documents from work showing that we both have permanent employment here, and visa from previous trips to Europe, weren't enough to satisfy them. How am I supposed to maintain my family ties while living abroad if that means choosing between visiting my family, or being with my wife? I had also put off filing her I-130 in the (mistaken) belief that it would harm her (apparently already doomed) application for a nonimmigrant visa. Visa waiver is not an option given her nationality. Are we basically just screwed in terms of being able to visit the U.S. together until her IR1 visa comes through? I'm just so frustrated right now and not sure what other options we have.

We have met a family that is helping us by providing Nanny care to our toddler son. They came from one of the border towns in Ukraine about 1 year ago. They have no relatives or family here in the US that they could seek to adjust under, just husband, wife and their 9yr old son. We took the immigration journey 10yrs ago on a k1, but have no clue if they have some way to stay and adjust status. Could not quite find the answer in some of the other posts.

What is the Underlying Logic of the Petitioner's Domicile Requirement? |

My wife (a citizen of Uzbekistan) and I are getting ready to submit our I-130 soon, and as I've been looking into what comes next I learned about the "domicile" requirement that comes into play during the NVC/I-864 stage. I've read a lot of threads on VJ about how people have approached the issue of proving domicile or intent to re-establish domicile, but I still haven't been able to figure out the underlying reasoning behind this requirement. 1. Why is the US Government SO concerned about situations where the US citizen might not have domicile in the US? If a married couple is going through the trouble of submitting a spousal visa application, isn't it kind of obvious that that they want to live together in the US once the visa gets approved? Doesn't all of the proof that goes into the I-130 already demonstrate the couple is in a bona fide marriage? 2. A common suggestion often proposed on the forums here is that the US citizen move to the US several months before their spouse. Doesn't that kind of separation actually call into question the legitimacy of the marriage? Especially if the US citizen currently has the means to cohabitate with their foreign spouse in another country? That is to say, on the one hand couples are expected to provide a lot of proof of being in a real marriage and having spent time together, and then on the other hand they're expected to physically separate for some unknown period of time? I'm sensing some kind of fundamental contradiction here. For context - I've been living abroad with my partner for the last few years, and we would prefer to not have to be geographically separated for more than a few weeks at a time. In terms of assets and income we're fine for meeting the financial requirements for immigration. Because of all that I prefer not to make overly-binding plans regarding our move back to the US before she actually receives her visa (e.g. signing leases or job offers). Right now I'm just asking these questions so as to better understand the underlying logic of this whole domicile thing, so that we can roughly plan where we need to be in life once the I-130 gets approved.

How Many Marriage Certificate Copies Should I Request? |

I'm a US citizen getting married soon in the country Georgia with my fianc who is a citizen of Uzbekistan. We plan to start the CR-1 application process shortly after that, and I wanted to know how many copies of the marriage certificate you would recommend we request from the Georgian Public Service Hall? A single translated copy with an apostille costs around $50, and each additional certified copy costs another $10. We'll be leaving Georgia after the wedding, so we don't want to have to come back here just for the purpose of issuing additional copies in the future. More context: I'm still learning about the CR-1 process but I know there are a lot of stages (USCIS, NVC, Embassy Interview) and I imagine that once we arrive in the United States we might be asked to present marriage certificates for various other bureaucratic purposes too (bank accounts, insurance, etc.) I just don't know if the tendency among the authorities in the US is to take the original certified copy and keep it for themselves, if they usually return it after verifying it's authenticity, or if they typically just accept photocopies.
