It's better to send them and be on the safe side. Even if it doesn't state you must anymore,  you still never know if an adjucator is made aware of that or not. I guess we can keep an eye out in the next months and see if this produces any RFE's. This will be the only way to know for sure. Also with your birth certificate I'd send the front and back of this as well.

Thats so sad..you are 27 and still dependant on your father? Dont you want to have control over your own life and make your own decisions?

In Saudi thats not the way things are. At all. Most women have no rights at all. If they try and go beyond their fathers or families wishes, the consequences are absolutely terrible. Saudi is not the place to be independent as a woman. It's the total opposite. While there's women fighting now in Saudi for women's rights,  it's still not a place for a woman to have control over her own life, and making certain decisions. 

And what exactly would your ties to India be?  

My husband was a saudi resident, but he's Filipino. When he applied in Saudi for a B2 visitors, they had already made up their mind before he'd walked in the room. They asked him 2 questions and he was out of there in 3 minutes. She told him that he'd only been with his company for 2 years, amd thats not strong enough ties. She said to come back when he'd been with the company at least 5 years. Also, are you Muslim? I'm not trying to sound harsh but you know how strict Saudi is. The reason for visiting may be difficult to overcome, although not unlikely. You can always try as long as you have the finances to spare. 

Here is a could of threads about this situation.  The first will give you a really good idea how hard AWA is to overcome.  He did it, but it took a lot. It's very rare to overcome, although not impossible. Unless laws have changed since then. 

It's better to delay the process  for a bit than to end up getting denied and having to wait that out. It makes the process so much longer. You're dealing with a tough embassy. 

Some pepole get approved without interview. This was the case for my husband. He just got an approval without an interview. From what I've read there's about a 50/50 chance of that happening. We also had been waiting since January though. 

It's up to the discretion of the CO if he or she wants to accept the I-134 (co sponsor). You will still be required to submit your financial information as well with the I-134 as you are still the primary sponsor. Also you should know, the fees dont just stop after the k1 is done. There is a lot more to it than just that. When your fiance arrives, after you marry within the 90 days he will have to file for AOS which was $1070 when my husband applied. I'm not sure if that fee has gone up or not.  The fee has gone up from what i just read to $1225. Then there will be fees on down the line from that as well. 

If something were to happen, as far as her condition worsening or something unfortunately worse, she can possibly expedite. But that takes some time as well, and it won't happen overnight. You can also try to schedule an info pass appointment if it is an emergency, (it must be an extremely urgent situation) and you will need to bring supporting evidence of that.  You can always just delay sending your documents and scheduling your interview for a month or two. If you need more time than that, as stated you can see if the embassy will extend it. 

Giving a 3 months notice may prove to be difficult for you. I would advise you not do anything until you have your visa in hand because you could be denied, or be put in AP for some time. Unless you have savings to live on for some time in case this were to happen. 

She would have to wait until her EAD and AP is approved. Which can take several months. She can possibly expedite it due to her mother being sick.  (But it's not necessarily an emergency to expedite if she knew she was sick and left; unless her condition possibly worsend)  The fact she even wants to come right now, seems a bit shocking.  What's the point in her coming if she wants to just turn around and leave? How long is she wanting to stay gone for? Maybe you should try and delay k1 the process for a bit

 I have the same issue. Make sure you are always carrying a proof of name change (marriage certificate or court order). It must be an original. I just carry my original marriage cert, pinned into my passport.

Also, your airplane ticket must be in the name that's in your travel document (which is your passport, NOT ypur greencard). Airlines may refuse to allow you to board a plane of the name on the ticket is different from your passport (this actually happened to me with United Airlines, travelling from Canada to the US). If that happlens to you, go to that airline's customer service and ask that they reissue a ticket (which they most often will do, but only if you have an original marriage certificate OR court order with name change  with you). 

I was typing this exact thing! You just posted right before I did. OP as stated make sure your ticket is in the name on your passport, amd you have your marriage certificate. 

What airline company are you working for? Is it a company that is also in the US? Maybe you can continue working for them after you have received your EAD? 

Does she have a lot of ties that would make her approval chance greater? B2 is not an easy visa to get,  and the fact that she's coming to marry you will be a huge burden to overcome. Or does she already have the B2? Have you considered the k1 instead? 

You know I remember a while back when I was filing my husbands k1, some members had to deal with the same thing with their k1 paperwork. 

Are you living in KSA?  Or just visiting? 

OP is the person you're asking for still in the US, and trying to adjust status? Im curious as to how hes trying to adjust, amd if hes still here in the US or not. Although it may not show up on a police clearance,  USCIS and the embassy have access  to all of this information.  So if you're asking if they will know about this,  your answer is, yes. Most definitely.

I thought I heard that it takes that long because the Green Card gets issued before they can come to the US. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. 

It does take a bit longer due to the fact, but shouldn't take that long. Average processing times are 12 months. Everyone's case is different and some can take longer, some shorter. Definitely shouldn't take 5 years.

CR-1?  Are you now married?  The CR-1 actually takes much longer but at the end you will have your Green Card.  I believe the CR-1 takes 5 years.  If you are not married, I suggest refiling the K-1.

The CR-1 does not take 5 years! If you do everything correctly, and dont face any other unexpected delays,  you should be finished with the CR1 around a year's time.

It *is* a nice picture, though  

Thank you very much. I didn't mean for it to show up so big on here.  I thought I resized it to be smaller. Haha. I just wanted to give an idea of what they let me get by with. But my husband thinks I was lucky to be allowed to use it. He was always worried when I was traveling that I'd get stopped for that very reason. Never happened, but it was a worry. I suppose it's better to have your entire face showing, than to worry about it every time you travel. 

My husband and I tried every possible video app out there I believe. Out of all of them, tango was definitely the best. The video quality was amazing. 

This was my passport photo. When my husband saw it, he was so shocked they allowed me to use it!

Cheating happens. Get over it and move on, stop giving a ####### about immigration right now. Simple. 

It's easy to say cheating happens when you aren't being the one cheated on. While the OP may not have any grounds to do anything as far as immigration goes, it's not that easy to "get over it and move on". That's something you'd only understand if you've been cheated on. It changes everything,  even the way you look at future relationships. 

Your country says Philippines but your case starts with RID which is Ryiahd, Saudi. Did you file in Saudi for your visa? 

No one here can really say if you will be approved or not. You didn't overstay,  and did the right thing by getting an extention. Also,  you didn't come here and rack up all kinds of doctors bills either so thats a plus as well. If you have the money to spend  then by all means,  try and see.  Did they say exactly why they revoked your visa the first time? There was no ban with it, right?
