    Hi J/G, I have nothing helpful to tell you, but I remember your posts from years ago since you were going through the process around the same time as my wife (a fellow Indonesian). I realize it's 2 years after the fact, but I'm sorry for your loss. I hope all is going well for you otherwise.

    The cost is apparently around $3K. I guess it's better than nothing, but a bit disappointing it's that expensive.

    The same type of "event" happened to my wife's petition (approved, then took USCIS months to get it to DOS). The embassy in Jakarta just automatically extended the NOA2 extension date another 3 months. Thankfully there weren't any problems once DOS received the application.

    And I suspect that's going to grow longer when the new administration takes over next month.

    I think your odds of getting a visa are extremely low. Many are focused on the cost of the trip, but I am sure you can save up for it. I'm guessing you live with family and have minimal expenses. On the other hand... On paper, you're a prime candidate to come here, overstay your visa and work under the table. I mean never say never, and I would be delighted to be wrong, but yeah, I wouldn't hold out much hope if I were you. Good luck!

    I think it depends on the POE. I used the free app last time I returned to the US (last June) and the mobile app line was pretty long. Took us 45+ minutes to get through immigration. Definitely better than the "normal" line but also much slower than Global Entry. But yes, when you have checked baggage, it often doesn't matter. Even though it took us 45 minutes to get through immigration, the bags just started coming out in baggage claim when we got there, so even if we had Global Entry, we would have had to wait quite awhile for our luggage.

    Regardless of safety, it is also very hard for Americans to get visas to visit Iran. eVisa is not an option, and there is no Iranian embassy in the United States. Beside the aforementioned Turkey and Georgia, other "nearby" options are UAE, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Oman, and Iraq.

    If you've been reading horror stories about K1 visa holders trying to enter the USA, you must be seeking them out and putting in a lot of effort to find them. Visa denial stories are common, but denied entry?? I won't say it never happens, but it's very close to that. If you've been reading horror stories about entering the USA (and not specifically K1), then stop reading them :). People that tend to have horror stories entering the USA are foolish and/or are in situations that are not like yours whatsoever.

    Your bullet point has no connection to green cards. GCC=Gulf Cooperation Council, which consists of Saudi, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Oman. Assuming this is what you are referring to (and not what you posted above): If this is your first time entering Saudi Arabia using a visa based on your Schengen, UK, or US visa/residency permit, please ensure your Schengen, UK, or US visa/residency permit is still valid. Well your extension letter is proof your residency is still valid, so you should be fine.
