    Inviting him over may not be a bad idea, be very nice to him, kill
    him with kindness, let convo flows to topic ...his country...
    then somewhere along the way slip in facts of how long the
    filing process is for lpr petitioning someone, the costs & having to
    obtain a co-sponsor,after this info he may move on to look a USC.

    velrich reacted to A & C in married in us, left,then returned on vwp. Can i file a I-130 and adjust in US?   
    I am probably going to get in 'do do' for posting this....
    But really....
    What happened to people being able to come to this forum and ask questions?! Regardless of them being hypothetical, or asked repeatedly, or even answered 1000 times over..... Or even asked in a different round about way?!
    If you don't have anything NICE to say then DON'T say anything at all....
    Quite frankly I am a little embarrassed at how mean some of these posts in this thread are....
    This kind of thread and the posts in it are one of the many reason I chose NOT to make threads or ask questions.... Because some people are SO MEAN

    Also, I already answered your question in my first reply. Please reread my answer about getting married before the interview.

    Just order a new certified copy of your birth certificate, or if you have a passport, send a photocopy of every page (even the blank ones) instead of the birth certificate. Otherwise, don't worry about the cops.

    Red Flag that's more of having no sense. Anybody with common sense know that if a man ain't showing any interest at all to a woman. He is either gay or don't want you. I'm sorry ,but i could never be On that level. You. Saw that that guy wasn't interested in you and you still persude a relationship with him and now you are claiming a broken heart. Im sorry that you went through that, but honey you put yourself in that.You allowed yourself to be used

    velrich reacted to aaron2020 in Visa type?   
    This is incorrect.
    A minor parent of any age can petition a child. The parent's age is not a problem.
    Read the instructions for Form I-130.
    The only time the petitioner's age matters is when the beneficiary is either a parent or sibling. A petitioner must be over 21 to petition a parent or sibling.

    velrich reacted to JohnR! in buying a house as a conditional resident   
    However, the issue at hand is not to whom the money belongs, so much as the house being in the name of both. Isn't that what the 'for richer or poorer' part of the vows are meant to convey?
    IMHO it is one of those situations in that it is not for the spouse to take, so much as the recipient's to give.

    velrich reacted to Dave&Roza in buying a house as a conditional resident   
    This is not a red flag or a problem as long as you have other co-mingling of assets and have filed joint tax returns (or even marriage filing seperately as long as the other is listed as the spouse). My wife is not on our mortgage as she had no credit when she entered the US and I had excellant credit. To put her on the mortgage would have cost us about $600 per month in additional interest due to the higher interest rate. I will not do anything to please the USCIS in regards to living my life. I will live my life with my wife as I see fit and hopefully the USCIS will see that we are two people trying to live our lives together.
    It does sounds to me like this is bothering you so I think you and your husband need to discuss why this bothers you. Is it because you are not on the Deed? Or is it that you are worried about how this will look to USCIS? I suggest you do some soul searching first and then approach your husband with your concerns. You might also look into the divorce laws for your state to see if having the property in only his name protects it or not. If it does not protect it during a divorce then it really does not matter whose name is on the Deed then.
    good luck,
    Dave

    You have to wait 5 years or be married to a US citizen and have a greencard for 3 years. Sounds like the 5 years will be sooner. Just file the paperwork to show she has been a greencard holder for 5 years when the time comes.

    Airline tickets are always supposed to be booked in the name on the passport not the EAD/AP card. Thats why you had the problems. Book the tickets in the name on the passport and they will only ask to see the marriage cert when you enter back to the USA using the EAD/AP card.

    No need for that since you sent via email. Should take about 8 to 14 days to accept and IV Bill invoiced. Don't confuse them more sending the hardcopy. Thats the rest of the world who does that who doesn't know there is an email option.

    velrich reacted to Nich-Nick in My Full Story   
    This post is going to explain some of your confusion. Refer back to the step numbers in my post #9.
    You didn't get the letter of instruction from London (#3). So you didn't do #4 in time so a letter was automatically generated in Feb. You had sent the forms recently and talked on the phone to the helpline, but the letter was of a generic reminder nature and the person who sent that out did not know you had just sent forms or had talked to the helpline. So don't make too much of that letter or wonder why they didn't know about your phone calls. It was a robot letter.
    Other issues you have posted here and elsewhere:
    The helpline people are not at the embassy. They can't help much. If you have a real problem, they can give you an email code to put in the subject so a real officer in London will read your email. Any email without the code bounces back to you saying it will not be read.
    You didn't know your instructions so you mailed a massive amount of evidence and your interview documents to the embassy with your DS- forms. Other people have made the same mistake. It will all be there. Read the list given in #5 to make sure you covered everything they want and it's already there.
    Your medical arrived so they checked your file and your 3 key things (#8 above) are there. That's why they mailed you an interview appointment. That's good news that all is fine so far.
    You went the crazy route, but you have an interview. Pay the fee and print your receipt. If all goes well, you will be approved and your passport and visa will be sent to you by courier in 3-10 days. If there is anything that got lost or misplaced, the officer will give you a list of what you still need. You get time to fix anything missing and return it to the embassy by their courier. Then they will issue your visa.
    If you happen to be born in the middle east, India, Pakistan; or are Muslim; or you visit there frequently; or even your parents were born in known terrorist countries---expect you visa to be delayed because you will have to go through extra security checks that can take weeks or months to clear.
    Did I cover everything?

    velrich reacted to Harpa Timsah in refile 129F or get married in UK?   
    The spousal visa is cheaper and more elegant. The immigrant becomes a LPR upon entry. They can work and travel straight away. You can still visit during the process.
    If you refile K1 you could file tomorrow, that's the only upside to me.
    But I don't think people should plan life plans based on immigration plans. The real question is, where do you want to get married?
    Keep in mind that to marry in the UK the USC needs a special marriage visa, even if they are going to just leave afterward.
