Have your petitioner send a mail to the uscis to update your new physical and mailing address. NVC will send/assign your case to the Consulate in India once it gets your case with the updated address. While it could also be done during NVC for immigrant visa cases, K1 cases may be sent to the consulate before one gets a chance to change it. Once it gets to the original consulate, changing to a new consulate is cumbersome. So best is to change while it's with uscis.

This. You won't loose any time when requesting at that phase. While you work on submitting docs, NVC will change the consulate. -
i130 Immigration Information
arken replied to MsSun's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Online filing instructions are not as friendly as pdf instructions but if you pay attention to the verb tense, it's easy to understand. Present tense- if you were in the US. So N/A for you. Past tense for when you arrived and present tense for when it expires. Again applicable to if you were in the US. Since you are not, N/A. If still confused, read pdf instructions where it specifically says those questions to be filled out if you are currently in the US. -
She could be denied or issued a GC while staying in the US, depends on if she is just marrying an American or marrying the American to live the life together.

That's fine. Just start keeping trail of evidences. Add her as beneficiary to your banking and/or any retirement accounts, any insurance policies. Add her as an authorized user on your credit card accounts. Keep logs of chats (some embassies ask for chat logs, call logs). Send her gift on occasions and keep receipts/records. It depends on when the interview will occur as well. If the interview occurs two year from now and you haven't visited her again, then the CO may giver her a hard time at the interview.

University/college classes with k1 visa
arken replied to A+N's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
She doesn't have to, she is making a choice. There's no shame in starting school by choice. As if you know they won't be spending time together and bonding n hanging out by enrolling in a few classes. What if the usc fiance goes to work all day long? Enrolling in a class is a better than staying in a house/apartment by yourself. I am simply saying people should not feel guilty or bad about what they choose to do based on their needs.- 22 replies

People making a choice to go to school as early as possible is neither a bad choice nor a shame.- 22 replies

You don't need a Marriage Certificate from CA for using spouse's last name. A valid MC from any country works and is itself the evidence of name change without a need to go through a court. Your wife could have simply used your last name on N400 and she would've received the NC under the new name without going through any courts.

Sending a complaint letter to Islamabad US Consulate
arken replied to pearls's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
If you go to the US Embassy Islamabad website, you can find the email address to contact or send your complaints to. As said above, note that your complaints would simply be ignored if it's just your words without any evidence, the most important being his marriage certificate of the marriage you are talking about. -
The extension of the petition is for issuing the visa in the cases where the interview doesn't occur within 4 months. It is not related to travel after getting the visa. Like i said sometimes there could be misinformed agents giving hard time but that's not in your control.

So your employer is ready to give you that job? In that case you can go to the US for sure and it has nothing to do with the lawyer you asked. He can't do anything if your employer doesn't accept you.

With lengthy K1 interview delays these days, if one sticks by 4 months validity from uscis approval date while ignoring the visa validity, nobody would be allowed into the US on K1 even if they travel the same day after getting the visa in hand. How far was your interview from the i129f approval date. If it's more than 4 months and you happen to encounter such misinformed CBPs, you would face same issue whether you enter the US on May 11 or Oct 27. So don't worry about such.

Why would they think you two are still married? Do you both still live in the same residence even if divorced? In any case, if you become a joint sponsor, depending on the timing of marriage/immigration/divorce, can't complain if a reasonable person suspects if the initial marriage was solely for immigration purpose. Helping someone even if ex is good of course but you seem to be too invested in his process of bring his relative. That itself creates a doubt.

You just travel and hope for the best. Flying or drive, you may still be subjected to the same level of issues. It all depends on the POE officer. If flying may be best to fly through airports with US pre clearance facility so you would know if you will allowed in before getting on the plane.

Successful B2-F1 cos changed your status in the US, it didn't change your existing B2 visa. You visa is still active. Will you face issues at POE? May be considering your history. Nobody can tell what'll happen. You may be allowed in or told to go back to Canada.

What do we do if it's been more than two years since we met in person?
arken replied to mapo's topic in Philippines
2 year in-person meeting requirement is to file the petition not for the interview. However a CO could make a judgement call on the relationship if it's been a while you two have met.
