I'd be very surprized if it came up and if it does, you just answer honestly. You were denied because you didn't have close ties to home, but that is no longer the case. Don't worry about this, I know it's easier said than done but you are not in danger of being denied a K-1 because of the previous denials which were completely different visa applications.

I agree about taking any job to show a hardworking attitude. When I was a teenager my coworker at a fast food restaurant was a medical doctor from India getting some work experience and cultural experience whilst waiting for his UK license to come through, I thought it was very admirable and sensible to get involved in work ASAP whilst looking for better job to show that your ego wont get in the way of your work and you're willing to put the hours in.

I wouldn't worry about it - you're entitled to move with your belongings, pack them, have your itemized list depending on whether they will be with you or following and away you go.

Maybe he doesn't want to live in the US without his wife? Most people who follow this path do so for love, not entry into the US.
Right now, he has a bona fide marriage, at least in terms of USCIS standards.
Telling him to go over on the VWP serves no purpose - he must go over as a husband, which he is and determine whether this marriage is for real.
Most people a week away from their interview are already uprooted and ready to depart, it would be silly to believe he is not.
This is my opinion.

Janelle, you are entirely correct in your assumption. Which by the way is more than a mere assumption. The huge numbers of old fossils finding young pretty brides in the Philippines disgusts me. We can argue that it is a two way street but the fact remains that these men are nothing more than dirty old men who could never find a pretty young bride in the US.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Jelly.

Regardless of your tiny VJ sample, the NVC is under NO OBLIGATION to process anything in less than 60 days. Deal with it.

Yes, it feels very nice!

Firstly, let me apologise to everyone here who has jumped down my throat. You are right and I am wrong. You know best, I know nothing.
I'll continue my LEGAL pathway to citizenship and I won't comment on any further questions that go against my "morals".
How you choose to run this website is your own business. How I choose to interpret it (or for that matter, anyone thinking of committing fraud) is my/our business.
Best wishes.

Immigrant lawbreakers need not come to this site to learn new and creative ways to continue lawbreaking at the expense of those who take the legal path in immigration. It's all laid out for them at the US Consulate Websites. Open it up. Poke around a bit. So nice to see that the US department of corruption in immigration has someone's back anyway.

Okay, so I agree with you, actually, on the fact that public displays of affection like kissing and smooching are gross--my wife and I actually don't kiss in public and did not actually kiss when we were married because nope, nope, not in public. We high fived. I have it on video.
That being said, heterosexual couples give each other oral pleasures on Disney rides (and then are escorted out of the park since Disney has night vision cameras on all rides that go through the dark) or even full on intercourse. I've known people who worked at the parks and they tell HORROR stories. Don't act like it's all innocent family fun times outside of Gay Days. People celebrate their honeymoons and anniversaries at Disney.
Gay Days are not simply about picking up partners or public displays of affection. I will repeat myself here, since apparently NO ONE read anything I said above about Gay Days.
Gay families are the subject of subtle discrimination. It can be as simple as the lady at Ikea who spent a solid ten minutes circling my wife and I with her cart and staring while we discussed the relative merits of various Ikea duvets. It can be as simple as someone cat calling us for holding hands on the street because obviously lesbians are only lesbians for male entertainment. In the case of my coworker who was raised by her lesbian moms, it was things like people blaming her bad haircut on her having two moms or jabbing at her about where her dad was. These things suck and happen to our families every single day.
That's 365 and a quarter days each year that we live in a world where holding hands is a sexual act for us, but a romantic one for heterosexuals. That's 52 weeks where our families treat us like the local scandal. "Oh that's my sister and her wife. They're LESBIANS!" That's 12 months where just daring to go to Ikea and look at bedding is enough to get you treated like a zoo animal.
And you know what? It's EXHAUSTING. It SUCKS. It HURTS. It's HARD.
So what's so wrong about wanting to go to the most magical place on earth and enjoy the magic of being in a world, for just a few days, where we're surrounded by our own people? People who understand the pain and exhaustion. People who know that once we leave the gates, we go back out there and face the real world.
There are ALWAYS a few bad apples, in every crowd. There will be a few homosexuals at Gay Days who use it to cruise. But there are always heterosexuals doing the same thing at Disney. The majority are just people who want to see that we're in a safe space.
Why is it suddenly a threat to heterosexuals when we just want to arrange a vacation from the real world?

It doesn't make us special but it does make us entitled to the same rights as you. I'll be happy to "keep it in the bedroom" if you do the same. Quite frankly I don't want to see you making out with your wife #100 from the Philippines on the street or restaurant but there is nothing I can do to stop you.

Advising an innocent person who has not yet committed a crime is less illegal than advising a criminal on how to continue committing their crime.
Please keep in mind my advice applies to a specific case - that of a person who came in on a temporary visa and deliberately chose to overstay. In law. intention makes the difference between culpability and much worse sentencing.
You may believe you are clever and above the law but your reasoning will hold no sway in a US court of Law. You are all labouring under a false reality. This site and the people who advise the criminals are in for a nasty surprize should they be investigated.

Well, gay events and spaces are about things like finding partners. We don't get to just go to any bar and send that person down the bar a drink as an ice breaker. Miscalculate in a regular bar and get your face caved in, fast, and our odds of that happening are much higher than the odds of a straight person getting their face pounced by a straight boyfriend or girlfriend of the person a straight person is trying to pick up.
Things like gay days at Disney are an attempt to socialize and find community who won't judge us for daring to hold hands with our partners, too allow us to be unafraid for a little while. My wife and I literally cannot even go buy bedding in Texas without people circling us like sharks, staring like we're freaks. Imagine that people around you liked disgusted every time you and your spouse discussed the relative merits of a purchase in a shop. Events like Disney gay days give us a chance to have a day where we don't have to worry about being treated like zoo animals for being a couple. We might still get treated like zoo animals for other reasons, but those reasons are based on things everyone gets judged for. It's a level playing field. Equal opportunity to be a freak instead of being default freaks.
What my wife and I do in our bedroom is our business, but the trouble is that people try to make us existing as a loving, caring couple in public spaces about our sex life. Everything we do or say - - daring to hold hands, daring to buy housewares, dating, daring to go try and find a safe rental space together - - is made out by people who just hate gays to be about our sex life.
It's not a lifestyle to want to enter a space now and then where we won't be judged not on our merits but by what people think we do in bed.
Why are straight people so obsessed with gay sex? Why do they make everything we do about what we do in bed?

:rofl:

This is my opinion.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the public at large Someone on here was bleating about common sense being a requirement for living in the US. I almost fell off my chair with laughter when I read that.

To those of you who know nothing of the designer, today would've been the designer HALSTON's 83 birthday.
Not only did Halston change US fashion for good, he pretty much invented US fashion in the 70's.
And yes, Halston was GAY.

Q.E.D.

If memory serves me right, Halston helped put the French houses to shame during the 'Battle of Versailles' in the early 70s...
American fashion earned recognition and respect.... and his Z-14 still remains a classic after all these years...
Naturally, you should expect a barrage of criticism, for after all, he was gay, and that is the only thing about him that matters.

Yes there is nothing to stop her from looking for a job. If the employer is willing to wait for her work clearance there is nothing that says you cannot look for a job. Don't let people tell you you are wasting your time, not everyone here has only a high school diploma.
