    Goodbye Pennsylvania electoral college votes.

    What day did you enter the US via the K-1?
  3. Crazy Cat
    You can mark the box on your I-485. Note: The Visa Journey best practice is for a K-1 entrant to apply before marriage.

    She gets paid for doing them.

    No. Your spouse will automatically become a legal resident (Green Card Holder) as soon as she enters the US via her spousal visa....once her visa is stamped at POE. A plastic Green Card will be mailed to her once she is inside the US (and you have paid the immigrant fee). No need to "file for a Green Card".

    ***Moved to Working and Traveling During US Immigration*** I think you are pushing your luck. You are on their radar.

    No. Not a problem Follow all instructions from the NVC letter and any you receive from the consulate.

    I got my ARC back in 2015. I went through an agency to get that FBI background check. An agency also took it to the TECRO office in DC for the authentication as part of their service. I also had to get a tourist visa from the "consulate" in Houston in order to change my status. I seem to remember using a variety of sources for the process. After I submitted all my paperwork in Taipei, it took about 2 weeks to get the actual card.

    I had a Taiwan ARC......and a Chinese name...It was difficult to learn to write it. LOL.

    This is not accurate.

    VJ = Visa Journey You can find the DIY guides here: US Immigration & Visa Guides - VisaJourney

    I don't think that pick is going to help Kamala win Pennsylvania....which is considered, by most, to be a must win.

    If you entered the US via a K-1, you do not need to submit an I-130 if you married the petitioner within 90 days of arrival. Perhaps studying the VJ guides for adjustment of status will help.

    I speak just from my personal experience. In our case, we just found it easier to just keep her last name. After 9 years of marriage, it has not an issue in any way, including joint taxes. I think Shakespeare wrote "A rose by any other name would be just as sweet".

    Crazy is crazy....regardless of which political side a person is on.

    If DEI is so good, why are liberals complaining that some think Harris is a DEI pick?
  19. Crazy Cat
    Seemingly a "do no harm" pick? and boring?

    Ask if she falsely claimed to be married when she applied for the B2 visas. That happens, sometimes, when agencies fill out the forms. Generally, B2 denials, if due to lack of ties to country, will not affect a K-1 or a CR-1.

    I would NOT cancel the I-130. It does not harm your case.
  23. Crazy Cat
    I would NOT withdraw the I-130. USCIS could think you are withdrawing the relationship. I would just let it ride.

    None at all. I think changing her name would have possibly caused a lot of problems with wife's pension, investments, banks, insurance, etc. in Taiwan. Keeping her name has not caused any issues in the US (Taxes, Military ID, Military Health Care, Social Security benefits, Medicare, etc). As far as passports, it has never been a problem since everything has been in her Taiwan name. As a dual citizen, both her Taiwanese and US passports are in her original name.

    Just a personal perspective from a Taiwan marriage: My wife elected not to change her name. It has made her entire immigration process much easier on both sides of the Ocean. Good luck on your immigration journey.
