I agree, you need to meet in person before anything can begin as that requirement is rarely waived. After that, the initial step belongs to the USC as they will need to file an I129F to get things started (they will need some documents from you such as your birth certificate, any marriage certificates and divorce decrees, etc.). You as the immigrating fiancé will not actually apply for a visa for some time after that, and during that time you can visit more if possible and collect evidence of your ongoing relationship. While researching the K1, you should also look into the spousal visa process. The spousal visa is much more superior than the K1 especially for the immigrating spouse. Btw, it is good you found VJ prior to actually beginning the process as there are a lot of resources and many many helpful members willing to help you out. Good Luck!

As @OldUser stated, you should almost treat this as a new marriage even though it is not. She should visit you as often as possible while the I130 is processing. You also need to make sure you have the total story straight as to the history of the marriage as it will most likely be asked about. Good Luck!

So the illegitimate son of Fidel Castro is calling it quits. Seems to be a lot of global pushback on Leftist regressive leaders. Don't worry, the Right leaning parties will most likely screw things up. Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister https://www.bbc.com/news/live/clyjmy7vl64t

A companion analysis of this one. It is amazing how woke the British government has become, and it is not all from the Labour side. How is it people get arrested for an online post, but they cannot talk about pedo rings within the country. British Elite Seem Angrier at Elon Musk than About Migrant R@pe Gangs They chose to sacrifice women for political correctness. So much so that they arrested parents and activists who were fighting to stop the abuse and punish the abusers rather than protect the citizens they had sworn to protect. Police went so far as to accuse young girls of consenting to be raped rather than to pursue the rapists. There aren't two sides to this story. There was a conspiracy to cover up the most heinous of crimes. Nobody even denies the basic facts, but there has been no accountability. Many of the rapists are still in the same communities in which they committed the crimes, even years after having been convicted and barely punished for their crimes. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/01/06/british-elite-seem-angrier-at-elon-musk-than-about-migrant-rpe-gangs-n3798516

I guess I was speaking more of migration from outside of China.

My wife has traveled like this for years. The key is booking the tickets in the name on the passport you are using for travel and keep a copy of your marriage certificate with you. In the 4-5 years before my wife naturalized, and used her Russian passport to travel and GC in her married name to re-enter the US, no one ever asked to see our marriage certificate even when looking at the passport and GC with different names. Now that my wife also has a US passport, we now use that for travel and she only uses her Russian passport to enter and leave Russia. Changing one's name in a Russian passport is a big pain, so my wife has no plans to do that. Good Luck!

Your spouse, who is filing to remove conditions, will put there name in that box. You will sign the next section as you are filing as a married couple (i.e. jointly). Correction, the USC spouse will fill out their name in that box of section 8. The caveat is (if applicable) in the statement so more than likely USCIS will not call the USC spouse for biometrics, but they can. Good Luck!

Since you are now married and will presumably file taxes jointly for the 2024 tax year (I am assuming you married in 2024) maybe it would be best for you to submit an I864A as a household member and let your USC spouse fill out her I864 using her own income. Good Luck!

Hmm, not just a U.S. problem. Home Office refuses to release grooming gang deportation data despite backlash over scandal blighting Britain The Home Office insists that it will 'do everything' to ensure serious foreign offenders are deported, but has declined to reveal the specific figures for convicted groomers. Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has called for a 'zero tolerance approach' to the deportation of foreign child sex offenders. She said: 'We need to have a zero tolerance approach when it comes to deporting those foreign nationals who have been found guilty of these heinous crimes.' However, a Home Office source said that the number of foreign criminals being deported from the UK dropped under the Conservative government. It comes as Sir Keir Starmer prepares to mount a defence of the grooming gangs scandal amid mounting pressure for a public inquiry. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14254025/Home-Office-refuses-release-grooming-gang-deportation-data.html

If that is the case, then why aren’t people flocking to China?

The OP needs to clarify, was it 4 DV charges, or Domestic Violence Assault in the 4th degree?

Santa shops at Costco?

I will give you a qualified answer of no based on the plan you laid out. As I mentioned earlier, once the I485 is filed, she cannot leave the U.S. without abandoning that process, and if she leaves prior to the I485 being filed, she technically cannot re-enter with the explicit plan to stay and adjust status via the I485 without committing immigration fraud (sort of a catch 22). Best to move forward with the plan as soon as you can to get the I131 in motion. Good Luck!

The I131 is the AP (advanced parole). Processing times vary. Even though she may be legal traveling with her F1, once the I485 is filed, if she leaves the country prior to the AP being approved, the I485 will be considered abandoned and you both will be out the money and legally she cannot re-enter the US on an F1 with the intention to file an I485. I hope that makes sense. Good Luck!

May not be a big issue relative to work as long as she still has a valid F1/OPT. Could be an issue for travel until the AP is approved.

No, she cannot enter the US with a non-immigrant visa with the intention to get married and adjust status as this would be immigration fraud. This plan would work if she planned to return to Colombia after her OPT is complete and then you proceed with a spousal visa via consular processing. Your best bet is to propose now while she is in the US (you can video chat her parents to ask their approval if that is important), then file the I130/I485/I131/I765/I864 so she can adjust status. Then once the I131 or green card is approved, you can travel to Colombia and have a celebration with her family. Good Luck!

That is the biggest issue with a public help board like this. Many people do not update their situations. What you can do if you have a specific question regarding a past post is check the member and see if they are still active, and PM them to see if they can help. Yes, essentially with a house, in general USCIS or a consulate is not looking to make someone homeless to be a sponsor. Good Luck!

Looking to start planning a trip for this year. Two areas at the top of the list, Glacier NP with a stop off at Teddy Roosevelt NP, or back to Utah for Capitol Reef NP, with a potential stop at Rocky Mountain NP, and a re-visit to Canyonlands, and Bryce.

We also have an iRobot, but I refuse to connect it to the wifi, so we have to activate it manually. Sometimes it acts wonky, but it is usually just a dryer sheet, or something like that (found a nickel once).

Actually Musk is already saying that by using a CT in LV, the blast was contained and directed upward possibly saving lives (paraphrased). I suspect other terrorist types gaslighted by the Left may steer clear.

Hmm, both used environmentally friendly vehicles, so there is that.

I agree with @Crazy Cat. My only addition is to wait a few days before submitting to make sure you are well within the 90 day window. Good Luck!

OK, so she has to fill out an I864 as the primary sponsor and if she is not working right now she has to show $0 income. Since you are AOS's, I assume the job you started is US based and the income will continue. You can fill out the I864A to add to your wife's I864, but it might be a good idea to find a joint sponsor. Good Luck! P.S. I reported your thread to have a moderator move it to the correct forum (AOS from visitor/work visa).

You may want to include them to show the joint sponsor's current and ongoing income. If necessary, but houses are not a liquid asset. Here is a relatively recent thread, ok, 4 yrs old, that comes up when I search "retired joint sponsor" in the VJ search engine, but there are many other hits, I just picked the first one. Good Luck!
