Not sure on this, but if they do test they can tell the difference between a person trying to intentionally dilute their urine, and some one who just drank a lot of water. 

This thread has me in tears.

"Albany GA-will be living ther" doesn't mean they are currently there.

That's something else that threw me off. It says "will be living there" not living there or visiting there

EAsy to marry in Georgia 

then get all documents ready to file CR1  

as said above you will need to return to UK 

If OP is already in US then theres no need to return to the UK. She can stay in the US and file AOS. But that has still yet to be established. If OP is in UK now and planning on coming on ESTA then yes, that would be the case. She couldn't come here and  adjust.

Is OP not in the US? If OP is in the US and didn't have intentions on getting married at POE wouldn't OP be OK to get married and adjust? I'm just a bit confused by the wording that makes me question if OP is already in the states. 

If OP isn't here,  then no you absolutely can not come here and adjust.   

Yes, as stated, the date no longer matters as you've already fulfilled the k1 requirements. The visa is of no importance anymore. Get the marriage certificate, and file AOS. 

You need to send it unless you want to delay the already long process of AOS by receiving an RFE.

When you married, you fulfilled the requirements of the k1 visa, so the date of the expiration is of no importance concerning your AOS. As long as you married by the 90 days. 

Wow. Congratulations!! 

No, he can't leave once you marry and file AOS until he has been approved for the appropriate travel documents. So it's definitely not a good idea. Now with that being said, if he's wanting to go back to his country you can still marry in the US, and he can go back home while you all wait out the processing. You would file the paperwork and he would undergo his interview and medical in his home country. He could possibly visit while you all wait for the process but It's hard to say if they will allow him back once you're married, as they can always deny a visitor visa at POE. 

He's the guide for that process as well

I'd say keep it simple...the following is from my wife's "intent to marry" letter to the USCIS. She addressed the letter to the officer at USCIS office in Dallas and sent the I-129F package  with USPS to USCIS, Dallas, TX .The body of the letter is as follows:

 

To whom it may concern

 

I, 'petitioner's full name',  do hereby state that I am legally able and very willing to marry 'beneficiary's full name'. I do intend to marry 'beneficiary's full name' within 90 days of his/her arrival into the US., with the K-1 visa. Thank you.

 

Regards,

Petitioner's full name

Petitioner's signature

 

 

That's it...we kept it small and simple and didn't have any problem. We got approved. Hope this helps  Good luck 

This is exactly how ours was as well 

For me personally,  I sent 2 pages per month of chat logs, and same with phone calls. Just to prove we were in constant communication. As @janet3, stated you are going through a more difficult embassy. The more proof the better. Time spent together is going to be an important factor for this embassy. More so than chats/phone calls. 

OK just making sure so I don't misguide you.  Just follow the guides. Good luck.

Thank you!  I was thinking that’s all I can really do is wait for the interview at this point too.  Should I include heartfelt sentences that describe how our relationship is, or should that be in a separate document outside of the timeline?  Should the incline just include the facts and nothing else?

 I'd definitely focus on the time line and not so much the heartfelt sentences. Just focus on the facts. Also, I agree with everyone else, send the updated info for your fiancé to take to the interview.

Yes you can get married and he can stay. Follow the guide that I posted in my previous comment. I am assuming by him having a 10 year visa, you mean he's here on a B1/B2 visitor visa correct? 

You can get married and file AOS if he's already in the US. Follow this

http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

And that is assuming he had no intent of getting married when he entered the US 

There's no limit, but the status of the wife is kind of a grey area.  While she isn't likely to be deported, it's also like being in limbo for having some kind of legal status in the US. She can't work, obtain a drivers license, or travel out of the country.  Which can be hard for the wife, especially  if she's stuck at home all the time. 

As @KULtoATL stated,  it's never a good idea to get your tickets before your visa. You never know what can happen

Have you been in contact with USCIS or a congressman?

I don't think there is any problem with filing the K1 while he is visiting you.  You really don't need to live together during the process, but I see some general problems that I think you should think about:

 

1.  You shouldn't be thinking about your son "needing a daddy."  That is not the mature thinking of a woman in her mid-20s.  Children are frequently abused by boyfriends and step-fathers and you have no idea what this man is like when he is living with you 24/7.  You need to be wary.

 

2.  You are in your mid-20s with a fairly good salary and a child, why are you rushing into getting engaged without yet meeting in person and acting like being apart is going to be world ending?  This isn't a crush, this is someone you are going to have to spend the rest of your life with and you need to seriously think about whether the compatibility is there.  I had a male best friend (and a little more) at your age - I'm forever glad we didn't marry when he asked me.  See if the in-person chemistry is there and it isn't just a FWB thing.

 

I don't mean to pop your bubble here, but you need to slow your roll.  If you can't stand being apart for the duration of filing a K1 or during immigration proceeding, your relationship is not as strong as you think it is and what you are likely feeling is infatuation.

 

I will say I absolutely couldn't stand being apart from my husband during our immigration.  It hurt my heart so bad. I cried and cried every time I left his side. I was depressed for weeks after I came back home. I think that feeling is being in love, and not so much infatuation. Knowing that you don't want to be apart from someone is how I knew I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. I thought most of us were that way. I also was in my mid twenties.  And my husband and I had only been talking for 3 years. The OP has known this person for 12 years.

The OP said outright they'd be living with family.

 

Also I would be very careful if trying to state that financial hardship is the reason for expediting the case, especially if the medical issue means you can't work when you get back to the US (also bearing in mind it's several months after arrival from my understanding before your partner will receive the right documents to legally work)  - it may be that they deny based on inability to support your partner, especially if having an extra 2 adults would stretch your family's budget when you go to live with them. They have a scale that they use for financials based on the number of adults/children in the household and the income of the sponsor/co-sponsor. 

 

I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, but if you have the option to go back to the US for medical treatment and to be living with family, that would probably be for the best.  Being apart sucks, we all know that, but putting your health at risk without proper treatment and with the additional stress of the financial side and trying to fight for an expedited case is probably doing more harm than good at this stage, especially when considering that if you don't have an airtight co-sponsor, pushing for expediting the visa based on huge financial losses is likely to result in the visa being declined for not having the means to support your partner. 

 

Again, not to be harsh, but to be honest based on what you have said and the issues caused by your illness (from the sounds of it you were asked to leave your previous job because of poor performance and attendance) I think you're vastly over-estimating your ability to get a good, well-paying job in a decent amount of time unless you can prove to them that your health issues are well and truly under control and won't result in the same thing happening. I know if I were hiring and spoke to references from a previous job who told me that the candidate had left due to health concerns, had been consistently late and was not performing at the expected level, unless they had a totally compelling or unique skill that I couldn't find in any other candidate would mean they wouldn't be hired. 

 

The best thing that you can do is get your health sorted out and get back to work so there's less likelihood of being declined based on the money side of thing.s

I was going by OP's previous thread that said he/she only has brother to support him/her financially. That theres no family to go to.

ur husband need to call his family and friends in US for help.

Your replies are getting to be a little too harsh. We are here to help people,  not constantly talk them down. There is a nicer ways to go about things. Especially with people going through hard times as this. Not everyone knows how it is here (on VJ) , and while no one would normally contact someone by phone to make a personal call, it doesn't mean that we have to be so rude in saying so.  You also have to remember that a lot of people are not from the same culture as you or me. Things that seem not normal for us, may be normal for them.

rent is normal.  all foreign family pay rent or housing.  normal.

 

u live in his country by choice.  u can go home to live with ur family.

 

separation is normal during immigration.

 

US government do not care when u choose to go to foreign country to live with spouse.  many people do this and every times, us don't care.  US govermnet expect petitioner to work to meet I-864 in US and separation is normal.

 

u want to live with husband, complain about normal expense like rent, and want expedite.  not going to happen.  sorry

From the spune of OP's last post,  there's no family to go home to, and he/she needs the fiance to care for him/her medically during this time. 

OP,  I'm sorry you are dealing with this, unfortunately it doesnt look like you're going to get your expedite.  As boiler stated, there's nothing fast about getting an Ombudsman on board. It looks like you're just going to have to wait it out. It won't hurt to get the Ombudsman on board, but I don't think it's going to give you a faster time frame. No one is stopping you from trying though. Good Luck! 

He may want to forget about putting every single page in plastic protectors as well. The papers will be taken out, page by page,  have holes punched, and then put into a file. If I was the one having to take that apart page by page, I'd be.. well.. not happy. Lol On another note, I've always wondered if the adjucator does this, or if they have someone specifically for that job. To put the files together before they land on the adjucators desk?

That's visa fraud and a huge reason the rest of us are patiently waiting to bring our loved ones the legal way. You should go back to your home country while the CR1 is processing and wait to be approved like the rest of us.

That is not fraud. We have no idea the reasoning behind the trip to the US or the circumstances that may have caused them to file AOS.
