The worry is with no Certificate and no passport . . . there can be no international travel !!!

Then apply expedite with your passport application. You should receive it within 2 weeks.

Or you can travel using your Ukrainain passport and have someone send you the US passport later to your destination in order for your to come back to US.

When we did our AOS, we also included Electric, Gas, Cable, landline phone, and cellphone. All those utilities, we added both of our names to show the same resident address.

I said yes because they been known each other for about nine years and is only two years and four months she did not pay him a visit , may be due to financial reasons or whatever , But they are still talking as couples  and do get a lot of things going on between them .

He did not said they are separated or having problems between them .

Like others who already chimed in.

It is kind of funny how everyone here acts like USCIS and the FBI are so efficient that it is just a matter of time before she gets found out. Honestly it is quite likely she will never get caught, but she will have to live the rest of her life worried about it. The only advice you will get here is to be completely honest anything else would be a violation of the TOS.

That is a scary thought. So what you are saying is that a member of Abu Sayyaf can somehow change passport is the Philippine and the Department of State in Manila's embassy cannot even detect the security flaw and let alone USCIS and FBI to catch it.

Here is straight from USCIS manual for OP's path down in the near future...

OP will be inline with denaturalization when USCIS finds out about this part,

• Concealment of a material fact or willful misrepresentation.

SO accurate.  

 

The first DMV office I went to, I was told there was nothing they could do to issue me a license.  She gave me all this info about tests blah blah blah.  I was so infuriated after explaining what she should be doing, I had to leave.

 

Husband talked me into going to another office (same county!!) and the one there was so incredibly helpful.  She had never processed a license when it was reciprocal (I’m from Canada) but she pulled out her manual and just went through it step by step.  Took longer, yes, but a far better experience, and literally a 10 minute drive in distance.

Because the person who denied your husband's DL might just be an idiot who happens to work at that particular location. Go to a different location and try your luck with finding a non-idiot.

Not just DMV, it goes the same with SSA office for SSN card.

He earned less than $10,400? How is going to support you? What are you doing for healthcare? A spousal visa would have been better because at least you could work right away and not have to pay hefty AOS fees. I don’t know where he lived but here in western Washington you can’t keep a goldfish on $10,400 a year, let alone 2 adults. 

 

London permits self-sponsoring for the I-134. Do you have sufficient savings or assets?

How many times have we seen here at VJ where the immigrant fiancee ended up having to support the USC spouse and spent all the life savings upon settling in the US. Then, they didn't have the means for AOS filing whereas the immigrant fiancee/spouse have her status in limbo...

If the USC fiance doesn't get his act together with his financial, this have all the ingredients to be future threads for Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits

A similar case like this,

And the appellate court agreed with the lower court decision.

LPR as in Lawful Permanent Resident is the legal term of green card. Technically if you were convicted any crime, you are deportable. For crime Domestic Violence, if you checked  INA: ACT 237 under section (E) 6, it's a deportable.

Since you are living in San Diego, under California Sanctuary Bill (SB54), ICE wasn't notified at the time of your arrest or conviction.

Most major cities oath ceremony venues have passport processing service. You can ask them how long would it take to expedite a new passport.

If they do not have it at your oath ceremony, you will have to make an appointment in person. Here is the detail information and location.

None of those you are concerned with matter with CBP unless you will be selling them or list as commercial items. You will have to declare how much cash and jewelry you are bringing.

Lol yeah they most certainly have had their interview. But anyways for anyone who is interested for nex time. And its kinda annoying people coming on here asking and leaving without closure to let everyone know how it went. Thats the only way we can learn and improve. 

The chance is that they most likely got denied like what residence of VJ had correctly predicted based on information available or experiences.

The OP question is awfully familiar like this thread,

Morocco is a tough embassy. They hardly approved K-1 visa let alone you have only 1 face time meeting. You need to front upload  your I-129F petition.

OP,

Make sure your fiance is aware of these arrests, it will be asked during the embassy/consulate interview later.

Hi all,

 

not sure what else to add here. If you look anywhere where Americans are sponsoring Germans, they’re getting the visas back sooooo fast. What gives? I’m Canadian and my husband is American. Are Canada and Germany so very different?

 

 

The only difference between Canada and Germany is that in Germany you can file CR-1/IR-1 with Direct Consular Filing providing both husband and wife live in there. It takes somewhere between 2-to-3 month and maximum 6 months to process.

Perhaps the cases that you saw were DCF.

F4 visa processing table below. If you're from the Philippines, they are just now processing 1995 applicants.

Yes, it's normal. It's a part of verifying bonafide relationship procedures. Another words, your fiance should know about you.

And here is the formal guide on how to send in your packet from USCIS.

I know there are a lot of topics on here, and on google too but nothing seems to give a concise amount of information on how to exactly put the package together.

 

so, a few main questions

 

1 - How did everyone attach their check or money order? To a piece of paper? (Did you use a paper clip or a staple?) 

2 - I know not to use staples on any of the forms, but did you use separators to indicate different forms and documents, out just place them one after the other without separation?

3 - How did you attach passport photos? I have seen some places mention to leave them loose and others say put them in a ziplock and staple them to a piece of paper? How did you do it?

4 - And the same question for photos for proof of bonafide marriage - how did you attach these? Loose, or in a bag? How did you attach the bag?

5 - How did you separate the I-130 documents and I-485 documents? folders? elastic bands? Ive seen mentions of each and others.

6 - Did you do a seperate folder our band for the I-130 and I-485 and include all the medical examine and proof of support in the I-485, or did you give these their own separate folder?

 

Hopefully this will get us some clarity!

When we did ours, we follow the suggestion on this thread.

Hi Guys! 

 

So, i am malaysian and i have a canadian boyfriend. i do travel alot and have my visa appointment in 2 weeks and the half in ottawa, canada. Im unemployed, i quit my job last year and my bf has been supporting me since then. Im in canada with a visitor status. i entered canada in June and im due to leave canada in December. 

 

My appointment in ottawa is 5th October.

 

i read that many people said its like not likely to get a us tourist visa due to im a visitor in canada. are there any succesfull stories? 

 

what are you experiences and questions?

The reason most likely you'll get deny is because you have NO HOME ties.

Usually CO is already denying B1/B2 based on you DS-160 before the interview. But who knows, perhaps you'll get lucky and get approve.

I think you took that quote out of context re this thread - did either of your Indonesian wives get tourist visas to visit you as boyfriend/girlfriend before the K1/CR1 visas were done? If so, it might be useful to OP to give a quick outline of what their demonstrated ties to Indonesia were.

Yes, they both had B2 visas prior applying K-1 or CR-1. My wife used to work in Norway while my now in-law used to work in Australia. As stated on my previous post, for Indonesians travel histories outside ASEAN nations more important than letter invitation or funds.

usmsbow earlier indicated, usually for Indonesian middle class and upper don't have problems obtaining B2 visas.

Meeting a USC (American Citizen) through a dating app is a flag. Wonder if you've also met Indonesian men thru that app? 

 

Plus, Indonesia is a culturally conservative country, the world's largest muslim nation I think. COs know that, and may look at a 29-yr old single female travelling alone to visit a US boyfriend with suspicion. You'd be viewed as an overstay risk. 

This is not true.

I met my Indonesian wife through dating app/site. We got our K-1 visa processed with no RFE and rather quick (see our timeline). My older brother also just married and finished his CR-1 visa with his Indonesian wife, whom he met through dating app/site.

Good luck. I don't have much to suggest other than maybe if you got a Schengen visa (for the EU) or one for Japan or South Korea, you might have better luck next time with a US tourist visa. Also, there is a rumor that Surabaya is an easier consulate than Jakarta, but I don't know how accurate that rumor is. 

 

My now-wife also had no shot at getting a tourist visa for the US, so we went the K-1 route. Thankfully everything worked out! 

 

 

Based on our own experience with family members came to visit us, having travel history to another countries outside ASEAN helps to obtain B1/B2 from Indonesia. As we posted previously, our family members all have Schengen and UK visas with lost of travel histories. Just like OP, they owned family businesses. Only one of the relatives was asked to show $10K funds in the bank account.

Hi,

 

I am a green card holder obtained direct from refugee. I am a citizen of Afghanistan. I fled to Indonesia and I got a refugee status from UNHCR there. By UNHCR, I came to USA as refugee. In this time I want to travel to Indonesia for visiting my wife in a couple of weeks. I want to know if I travel to Indonesia, would it be a risk for my status as a green card holder in USA after I come back from Indonesia? Is that prohibited and can be deemed abandon my status as a green card holder? 

Providing that you have a valid Green Card, you will not have any problems to visit Indonesia or any other countries. Abandoning your PR or Green Card if you stay away from the US for more than a year without Re-Entry Permit.

If you're planning to stay more than a year outside the US, then you need to file Reentry Permit on Form I-131.

Like others already stated, there is no dateline to file and your spouse is subject to deportation after I-94 expired (out of status). If you decided to file AOS after 2 years of marriage, then you need to file I-130 and I-485.
