Before you consider sponsoring her look into the Health Insurance issues. That usually is a deal breaker.

Certainly the main issue is that there is no US embassy in Iran.

No, it's not possible.

You can sponsor your sister, but the waiting period for an immigrant visa for siblings of US citizens (F4) is at least 12 years right now, depending on where she's from. She will have to wait outside the US while it's processing.

You don't have to leave necessarily. The F2A visa quota is charged. You won't get an actual visa but rather be on F2A status.

Again, you have to do your research. Google is helpful.

Then you might be in the clear, but you need to consult with a lawyer or experienced party that knows your situation very well.

You gave us very little information and, therefore, we can't give you definite answers, but I think you're on the right track if what you said is accurate.

Did the I-797C state that it was for an I-485 and start in 2002?

If so, you might have a case. However a SEPARATE I-485 must have been filed for your fiance for her to be included. If it's only for her parents, then she was not included.

You should consult the lawyer and not us, since you provided VERY little information.

If you didn't lie about anything, it's unlikely to be denied.

Don't think it will matter.

Yes, you are generally correct.

Given where she's applying, the letter doesn't mean much (if anything).

That doesn't mean, however, that she can't bring it and have it in case they ask for an invitation of some sort.

You understand that the only way you can mess up your K1 is by lying right? Your logic is completely wrong.

Getting denied for lack of ties will NOT mess it up.

Right now, spouses of LPRs are current, so you could adjust status right away without her being a citizen. The consulate will know this (and perhaps you do too), so your intentions may not appear genuine.

Clearly they may not be if you come back to this thread just to post that you will be blatantly lying.

In any case, best of luck.

I understand what you mean, but you have to be very, very careful with your choice of words when it comes to this. "Work" and "tourist visa" don't go together.

No, sponsorship documentation is not required, but sometimes invitations help. Sometimes specifying that other people are paying can indicate that you don't have enough to support yourself and may not be able to return. Sometimes it's more advantageous the other way. It depends on the context.

At the end of the day, it's all about convincing them you will go back to Nepal and have ample reasons to do so. Conversely, ties to the US work against you.

Best of luck.

You generally can't do any "work", even if it's unpaid.

The sponsorship letter doesn't really mean anything and his commitment to you will not have any effect on your application.

You don't have to get a plane ticket before the visa application. In fact, it's strongly discouraged to do so.

Your sister and girlfriend could affect your application negatively, but to what extent is uncertain.

Unless you lie, getting denied for this visa is unlikely to have any effect on your K1.

They probably just triggered the ESTA. You should try to apply for it again.

She cannot extend her say.

And she cannot simply go to Canada or Mexico and come back.

Applying for a B1/B2 visa is an option only really in Taiwan. She wouldn't be able to apply for this in Canada/Mexico.

Use this forum's "search" function.

If you're uncomfortable, go somewhere else.

Sure.

DEFINITELY get your Schengen visa before applying for the US visa. It will definitely help you out.

This happens quite often. No real reason to it. Just resubmit it and everything will be good.

USCIS doesn't have anything to do with tourist visas. Only the State Department and CBP are involved.

The amount of time you would be allowed to stay would be determined when you arrive, not when you get the visa.

And no, reservations/tickets are not required to apply, but certainly when you arrive.

Coming from KSA to the US for 1 week is a short trip. Are you sure it's purely for tourism purposes?

You might want to wait a bit longer before trying again, although your circumstances have changed. It would be better if you got married.

Why do you want to come to the US?

Yes, they will definitely look at your application, but you are stateless. As such, ties to any country are tough to prove. Your main challenge is to convince them that you will not seek asylum upon arriving in the US, among also proving that you have enough going on in Saudi Arabia to compel you to return.

If you've been living in KSA for a long period of time and have a job, family, etc., your chances are better.

The DV has nothing to do with which country of which you're a citizen. It just matters where you were born.
