    Extremely common. Go prepared for both interviews. Wife and I had a combo interview in Dec 2022.

    I think there is certainly a chance for a B2. We have seen seemingly doubtful cases approved. Hopefully, she will get a CO who is in a good mood that day.

    Consummation, in USCIS terms, means being in the same location either during or after a marriage ceremony.

    Depending on your current legal status in the US, I might be inclined to wait for a correct copy since having an inaccurate document is not normally a good idea, imho. If you are out of status, I would certainly send what I have now asap. How long does it take to get a correct marriage certificate?

    They also work for those who are together, but want to avoid the complications of some foreign marriage requirements. Even if a couple are physically separated during the Utah online marriage, they must consummate the marriage before USCIS will recognise it.

    Our case: I-751 submitted March 2019 Biometrics- May 2019 I-751 approved- December 2022 I think our case was an outlier. Good luck. The I-751 is last difficult hurdle, imo.

    90 days....not 6 months.

    Then, she is fine. The visa expiration date was correctly calculated by the consulate......6 months after medical exam. I would not worry about this. Just marry within 90 days.....and I would submit the adjustment of status package within 90 days also. Good luck.

    When was her medical exam done? November? If so, the consulate incorrectly calculated the visa expiration date.
  11. Crazy Cat
    As long as she entered before the expiration date on the visa, she is fine. The visa is now voided since she entered. You now have 90 days from the day she entered the US to marry. I would also submit the I-485 and other forms within 90 days also. Edit: Upon further examination, there MIGHT be an issue. See my next comment.

    Ok, got it. Thanks.
  13. Crazy Cat
    Is she married?
  14. Crazy Cat
    She traveled on A/P from 2008 to 2017? Sounds like you meant after Green Card approval also.
  15. Crazy Cat
    That was after Green card approval...

    Sometimes, official notices lag behind this notification. Maybe good news is coming in a day or so. Good luck.
  17. Crazy Cat
    Yes, you can. However, it might be much more cumbersome than a few years ago....especially for anyone remaining outside the US for an extensive amount of time. That would be my concern. Besides, the OP has stated he is not planning travel until Green Card is issued.
  18. Crazy Cat
    This is something that I have thought about a lot. It seems to be that this policy could change with the stroke of a pen. But, I haven't seen any indication that will happen, and I'm not sure how they would implement such a change.
  19. Crazy Cat
    My wife's case took 13 months from I-130 submission to spousal visa in hand......but that, as is your case also, irrelevant to the OP's case.

    What year was that? Things have changed.

    Your plan may be a great one for you. We are just providing info. My concerns would be: 1. There is recent evidence that processing of I-129Fs might be slowing. This could mean a shift in USCIS priorities. So far, a few data miners have reported it. That hasn't shown up in the Visa Journey average processing time yet. 2. The limbo period between a K-1 marriage and receiving a Green Card is much more difficult than some have thought. Like I said, it's your journey. I hope it is a smooth one.
  23. Crazy Cat
    No. A person cannot enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status. That is visa fraud. She will receive an interview letter when her case reaches the front of the queue at NVC for her consulate. Patience is the big key in US immigration.
  24. Crazy Cat
    Not sure what you mean by "shotgun e-wedding via Utah". That is a viable, legal marriage in the eyes of USCIS and DOS. Our recommendations are the result of years of seeing many, many cases like your case. However,it's your decision and your journey. Life is full of choices and consequences. Good luck on your K-1. Remember that patience is the big key in US immigration as nothing happens as fast as we would like. Please keep us all updated and please continue your participation. Every experience adds valuable information to our database.

    If you mean the medical exam, there is good reason not to book it too early since all medical exams expire after 6 months. That determines the expiration date of an issued visa. Visas expire when the medical exam expires.
