  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. 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!
  6. Have the beneficiary take an update I 864 to the interview and explain the small mistake. Good Luck!
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
  9. 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!
  10. Quite a bit of hate and intolerance on the left. Certainly not much in the way of joy.
  11. 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.
  12. 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/
  13. 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.
  14. You should be fine, and it looks like you are prepared to show evidence of her need to return if asked. That being said CBP can always be a toss-up. Also since she is a minor, do you have a letter of permission from the other parent to take her out of Canada? I seem to remember CBP on both sides looking for that.
  15. I tend to agree, the anger and the depression tends to be more on the extremist/Democrat Left.
  16. I have no idea what you are talking about. Is that supposed to be a reference I should know?
  17. Refused, does not mean Denied/Rejected. Refused only means that the consulate needs more time. They used to use the generic Administrative Processing all the time, but now they are saying Refused when a decision cannot be made at this time hence the 221g, and in this case a white one means they are still looking at your case. Since they kept your passport, that is positive, so just keep monitoring the CEAC website.
  18. If you responded to the 221g appropriately, all you can do is wait and monitor the CEAC website. If the consulate needs more, they will ask for it. Good Luck!
  19. My other question is relevant. What color was the 221g. The different colors are meaningful as to how the interview went. I don't know CASV. Also, if the stay was less than 180 days, no bar is in place, if over 180 days to 365 days, a 3 yr bar, and over 365 days a 10 yr. bar. You asked why the CO did not mention a waiver, if the overstay was less than 180 days, no waiver is needed, and if between 180 and 365 days, I suspect you have already been outside the US for more than 3 yrs, so a waiver would only be needed if over 365 day. https://www.path2usa.com/blog/all-about-221g/
  20. Vladimir already endorsed Kamala as she is much more predictable to do what is expected.
