There are no derivatives for immediate relatives of US citizens. Each non-citizen beneficiary needs a separate I-130.

I haven't the entire conversation, but the parts I heard were more about "the Obama administration". She used the word "we" as in Barry and her. Maybe they have decided to take Joe out of the picture. I think her fear is based on the reality that Trump will succeed in reforming the catastrophe of the past 3 years. It's going to be a wild 10 months.

Looks like speculation is building about Michelle as the knight in shining armor. Could be a battle line forming inside the dem party between Joe and Barry. Joes is a goner.

How many successful K-1 cases have you seen with no visits prior to filing? I have seen exactly none.

It counts as it was a petition.

Never marry on the first visa....for multiple reasons.

A resignation is in order.......maybe several....starting with the Secretary of Defense. This is a big national security issue.

We have seen this many times before here on Visa Journey. I have never seen a case successfully end with an immigrant visa. I'm not sure how you can fight this without a very, very good attorney.

***Moved to "What visa Do I Need" as OP is asking about both options.*** Forget about a K-3 visa. They are obsolete, and are very, very rarely ever issued. There are significant differences between a K-1 fiance visa and a CR-1 spousal visa. My advice is to spend some actual time together before making a decision. Marrying on the first visit is NOT a good idea. Multiple visits is always a better choice. This is especially true when there are red flags such as a large age gap. Here is my analysis between a K-1 and a CR-1: Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises. What does that mean?

But it is illegal to work inside the US after entering via a B2 or VWP.

CURRENT annual income is calculated as follows: This is the method @pushbrk taught me. Last pay period gross income multiplied times number of pay periods per year (12 months) = Current annual income.

Can You Work Remotely from the US Without a Visa? | NNU Immigration "However, a visitor cannot do any paid work during their US stay, even if they also plan to undertake any one of the permitted activities, such as visiting a relative and using their address to work remotely from. This is because the B-1 or B-2 visitor visas do not grant US work authorization. The visitor visa categories also do not permit a foreign national to earn any US source income."

They need to re-apply.

If a person overstays a B2, it is automatically revoked.

You can file early (within the 90 day window), but you can't take the oath early.

It will have no negative effect on your immigration case. I hope the interview is soon scheduled.

All three definitions can be correct.

Thanks. Appreciate your help. I hope your immigration journey is smooth.

I would leave it blank.

***Another thread merged****** @greenstars, you have already been advised to keep I-130 questions in this thread. Continuing to create separate threads will be considered spamming.

NVC will send her case to the consulate for country of residence. The video is correct. Then, you will have to contact the new consulate and request they take the case. It will be at their discretion since she will not have residence in Germany.

1. Routes for immigration: Family Unification Work Visa Diversity Lottery 2. Work of any kind is prohibited while inside the US on a tourist visa or VWP. 3. I believe UK citizens are eligible in DV-2025.
