Honestly, these are not immigration questions. I would contact an accountant who knows the specific tax laws. Best of luck on your immigration journey!!

Meet in Jordan.

Age gap isn't an issue. You don't need a pricey attorney.

I've been on this site for 12 years and I have never seen an RFE specifically asking for photos with a handwritten date and place. Pictures are not very strong evidence proving a bonafide relationship as anyone can pose for pictures.

should I send an email to kind of get officer's attention to the case being already approved to not expedite but at least skip the waiting time people normally have for the I130 approval,

The wait time is the wait time, no one knows exactly how it works or how long it will take. It varies greatly from consulate to consulate and from even case to case, depending on the circumstances. Your case still needs to go through the proper channels and background checks, emailing isn't going to prompt an officer into allowing you to to "skip the line". There is nothing fast, easy or cheap about U.S immigration.

The B1/B2 is definitely a business visa and not a tourist visa, correct?

I know many petitioners are retirees and close to that age

 

Not sure where you would ever get this idea. I've been on VJ for a dozen years and this is very far from the truth. Most petitioners, are in fact, far below retirement age.

Hi,

 

Yes this is allowed

 

Just be prepared for extra and serious scrutiny at the border. There will be a good chance you will be taken to one of those backrooms to be questioned.

If you already know your interview date at the time you want to enter the states, Have a copy of your interview confirmation with you.

When asked, inform them that after your trip you will return to home country to conclude the K visa Process.

Answer all questions truthfully and stay polite, no matter how they treat you. 

 

Though this is all possible, and i have not found many stories where someone got denied entry and it mostly goes well, i would advise against it.

Most likely there wont be much time between the DS160 and the interview, so if you just wait a little longer, you could be with your fiancé permanently afterwards.

Personally, i canceled the trip i had planned in June and i will just wait for the visa to be in my possesion. I will also wait a couple months before i actually move, but i decided it is not worth the risk of getting put on a plane back to home country 😬

 

Anyway, The choice is yours  

Most people are NOT refused entry, especially coming from the UK.

OP, this person's answer is not accurate and to be honest, it's a bit over dramatic.

If your father was born in the U.S, he is automatically a citizen here. There was nothing for him to apply for, it's his birthright.

Yes, these are benefits of being a citizen. But the question was, why did she want to be a citizen.

Only thing to do is wait.

Get married and apply for spouse visa. There is no appealing a denied fiancé visa.

You were NEVER legally married to your current "wife" because you were not legally divorced when you married her. You can't divorced someone you're not legally married to. You need to marry her legally.

She was adopted by another family member. You're not legal siblings for the benefit of immigration. Even if that weren't the case, there's a good 25-30 year waiting time for siblings. Easily.

My first thought is what do you do that allows such long holidays.

 

 

She said in her original post that she is ill and gets money from the state, so that means she's probably not working at the moment. My brother in-law lives in Amsterdam and he ,too, is ill and unable to work right now, and I know that his rent is 100% paid for by the state because of his illness and he gets money every month for food and living expenses, plus free healthcare. 

I could be wrong, but that would be my guess.

Hey, sorry if I’m asking this question again. But, what’s the visa they receive to come to the U.S.? 
I understood that you and your wife petitioned them to come live here, I think they will receive a temporary visa to come here and then receive a G.C - in this situation I don’t think that would be able to travel back.

But, if it’s a tourist visa usually they could come here for 2 days leave back, and return to U.S in September without problem.

I had the same issue few years ago, I sent an email to the embassy explaining that I was graduating and by the college rules, I needed to participate of the celebration process. So, the embassy didn’t help me anyway 

This information is 100% incorrect.

I know you're just trying to help, but answering a question when you're not sure of the answer can 100% be devastating for the person asking for the help. In this case, there are three options: They fly here in May before their visas expire and stay for good, they fly here and activate their visas, return home and come back permanently in September,  or they allow their visas to expire and then they'll have to start from the very beginning again.

Ok thanks all, so I guess it’s all just I130 and Affidavit of Support when the time arises. 

What are you not understanding?

Your parent CANNOT enter the U.S using a visitor visa with the INTENT to STAY and adjust status!!! It is visa FRAUD and will result in a lifetime ban for your parent. 

It's a big fat no. Your ONLY option is consular processing. Period. End of story.

Yes I will. I was just trying to get some validation on the document to see if it’s real or she’s typing to pull something. Thank you everyone for your input 

Real or fake, don't be sending money to random people on the internet.

Thank you for your answer! We'd have to behave ourselves because our main love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation and that would be weird in an interview with a third person...

You're both adults and should be able to behave for an immigration interview. This is your future you're talking about.

See this is what I've been trying to figure out, I couldn't find whether it's allowed to have two redundant applications basically. So having one currently underway means I can't file a new one then.

 

Is there an easy way to withdraw the current one? I keep getting told to write into them or make an appointment. Can I not do it by phone or email?

 

Thanks everyone for your help btw!

Nope, no phone or email. You must send a letter to withdraw the first one.

There is no sponsorship for a visitor visa. The person must apply and be approved based on THEIR OWN merits.

Out of curiosity: why would religion force anyone to overstay?

Serious inquiry.

Been here 12 years, never once heard of anyone being forced to open their envelope. Stop worrying about things that aren't a thing.

I went to my husband's interview with him and the IO came out to the waiting room and introduced himself to me.
