  1. I redacted account numbers, USCIS does not need my account numbers.
  2. Here is a good reference thread discussing quality over quantity (at least the first few pages of the thread).
  3. Opinions vary. For instance we only provided redacted pictures of our shared credit cards with no statements. As to utility bills, etc., we only provided the first page of one bill (most recent to our filing date) to show both our names on them. Many people believe you should send each monthly bank statement of any joint account(s) to show any fund movement over the past two years or so. We actually do not have any joint accounts, but rather are co-owners of each other's account, so I showed the CU page showing each of us as said co-owners. As to organizing, just be sensible, providing a table of contents in the front, do not use tabs separating sections as USCIS will scan the entire package. Also do not use holes or anything like that, just use a big binder clip, or use a good relatively tight envelope to keep everything together. Good Luck!
  4. Seems relevant here. Kamala Harris, Czarina of Failure https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/10/21/kamala-harris-czarina-of-failure/
  5. How will he answer CBP when entering when they ask for the purpose of his visit?
  6. So your only options are a K1 or a spousal (CR1/IR1) visa. Good Luck!
  7. If he is not currently in the US then 1,2 and 3 are immaterial as @Crazy Cat and @appleblossom pointed out. I would focus on item 4, and if working upon entering the US is important, I would pursue the spousal visa. Btw, there is no such thing as a 90 day rule, but again, immaterial as it sounds like he is not currently in the US. Good Luck!
  8. I would have her inquire with a couple of the law schools in Texas to see how she can use her current education there. Good Luck! https://legal.uworld.com/bar-exam/us-foreign-eligibility/ https://legal.uworld.com/bar-exam/states/texas/
  9. Just think of what Gaza could have been had it actually spent all the aid it received on the actual people and infrastructure instead of buying weapons/building tunnels, enriching the few top people some of whom don't even live there, and keeping its populace in abject poverty.
  10. Sorry, the screenshot did not come through when I looked at it on my tablet, I see it now on my PC. I guess my only other advice would be to follow the template in the link I posted, particularly related to your first petition, add a little more detail of the petition for your first wife. Also add a little more information regarding the actual information of Jenny from your second petition. You already alluded to most of it, but maybe a re-write of the waiver request is warranted. Good Luck! Full name, and any other versions of that name, for instance, maiden names and married names Date of birth Prior I129F receipt numbers (if you have the notices, that is also extremely beneficial to provide to the USCIS Officer) The date when the relationship began, how you initially met or started talking, and how the relationship grew from dating to engagement and plans of marriage What caused the relationship to end, or how did plans change after receiving the I129f approval or the K-1 visa Pictures say 1000 words, if you can provide a profile photo of the Ex or maybe a prior photo of the couple together, that could help the officer visualize things better
  11. There are exceptions for all USCs. I do not know if you fit into the last category, and you are looking at only two more months in country, and you are not actually married yet. I am only bringing this up as a possibility which can be the fastest way to get a spousal visa, but that possibility goes away if the I130 has already been submitted to USCIS (online or mailed). If you and your future spouse are in no hurry, submit the I130 online to USCIS as soon as you get married, then re-establish yourself back in the US, solidify your financial picture, and in 8-12 months after filing you will need to provide an I864 at the NVC stage prior to your spouse interviewing for the spousal visa. Good Luck! Exceptional Circumstances Examples of exceptional circumstances include: Military emergencies – A U.S. service member, who is abroad but who does not fall under the military blanket authorization for U.S. service members stationed abroad on military bases, becomes aware of a new deployment or transfer with little notice. This exception generally applies in cases where the U.S. service member is provided with exceptionally less notice than normally expected. Medical emergencies – A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an urgent medical emergency that requires immediate travel. Threats to personal safety – A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an imminent threat to personal safety. For example, a petitioner and beneficiary may have been forced to flee their country of residence due to civil strife or natural disaster and are in precarious circumstances in a different country outside of the United States. Close to aging out – A beneficiary is within a few months of aging out of eligibility. Petitioner has recently naturalized – A petitioner and family member(s) have traveled for the immigrant visa interview, but the petitioner has naturalized and the family member(s) requires a new petition based on the petitioner’s citizenship. Adoption of a child – A petitioner has adopted a child abroad and has an imminent need to depart the country. This type of case should only be considered if the petitioner has a full and final adoption decree on behalf of the child and the adoptive parent(s) has had legal custody of and jointly resided with the child for at least 2 years. Short notice of position relocation – A U.S. citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, has received a job offer in or reassignment to the United States with little notice for the required start date. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-3
  12. So if you are both legally in Korea, and now you as the USC have a need to repatriate to the U.S. due to a job relocation (assuming this) Direct Consular Filing of the I130 may be an option. I would research this closely before filing the I130 after your marriage as once filed with USCIS, the consulate cannot accept an I130. With DCF, you would need a US based qualifying joint sponsor for the I864. Good Luck!
  13. File now online. You will have months to prove income as that does not come into play until the NVC stage which is several months away. I am curious though, are you both a legal resident in Korea, or just visiting? Good Luck!
  14. I doubt anyone knows for sure what is going on other than you are at the mercy of the consulate. Hopefully something will move soon. Good Luck!
  15. Have the beneficiary take an update I 864 to the interview and explain the small mistake. Good Luck!
  16. This may be helpful. You also might send in screenshots of the website you found regarding your second petition. In the end, it is the details that matter in the waiver request, so you might want to add some to your request letter. Good Luck! https://www.fickeymartinezlaw.com/immigration/k-1-fiance-visa/i-129f-multiple-filer-waiver#:~:text=Being a multiple filer is not inherently a,a letter signed by the US citizen petitioner.
  17. You just need to file the single I130 for your sibling as the F4 category allows for derivatives which would include any spouses or children they may have in the next 20-25 years. Good Luck!
  18. Assuming domestic travel. Tickets need to be purchased in the name on her Russia passport even if she decided to change her family name after marriage. She will use her Russian passport to check in. My wife was in the same boat back when we were in between marriage and her GC from AOS. She should be fine, and once you get the NOA receipt from the I485 filing, make a few copies and keep those with her when she travels. Good Luck!
  19. Quite a bit of hate and intolerance on the left. Certainly not much in the way of joy.
  20. USCIS and US Department of State often does not make sense. There are many stories of families applying for B2 visas, and one or two being denied, but the others being approved at the same consulate. Who is to say why your friend's was different than yours as we know absolutely nothing about their case. Whatever, it seems clear now that you will eventually need a waiver, so I would focus on doing that with a lawyer or not as more than likely the consulate will ask for it.
  21. So this was supposedly the context of the conversation between Biden and Obama. https://nypost.com/2024/10/17/us-news/biden-told-obama-shes-not-as-strong-as-me-and-ex-prez-agreed-thats-true-at-ethel-kennedy-funeral/
  22. Not every case is the same, and not every consulate officer handles cases the same way. It seems a waiver will be needed at some point, but at least for your case it appears to it will take some time before the consulate requests it. I know, frustrating, but it is what it is.
