  1. You could get a "Biometrics Reused" notice. But I think I would just wait to file after your return. Otherwise, you will worry the entire time you are on your trip. In the long run, delaying 10 days won't mean much of anything. - just the thoughts of an old guy
  2. I think that if this was genocide, it would have been over weeks ago.

  6. You must fill out an AR-11 (can be online) to change your address within 10 days of a move. However, your sponsors must mail an I-865 to USCIS within 30 days of a move.
  7. ***Old thread locked for further comments***
  8. Sometimes, it better to just "jump in with both feet".
  9. No. There is no need for an "original" W-2 form.
  10. Agree. I'm not sure why people choose any other option if divorced. Only a divorce decree and marriage evidence are required.
  11. Yes, as long as they are well-qualified.
  12. I would find another joint sponsor. Consulate officers sometimes require the spouse to sign an I-864a.

  14. I have moved this topic to the "Which Visa Do I Need" discussion area since you are now looking at both options. At one time in the past, the K-1 had a huge speed advantage over a CR-1. However, now the processing time difference is relatively small to non-existent. As you can see, there are also other significant differences. I have seen a lot of couples choose a K-1, but regret that choice later. I have seen no CR-1 couples who say they should have chosen a K-1 instead. Good luck. We are here to help.
  15. Welcome to Visa Journey. No need to start a new thread. I did that for you. It is a valid question. I was referring to the big, big differences between a K-1 and a CR-1. This is my comparison below. Good luck on your journey. Visa Journey is the best place for accurate immigration info. Most people here don't use an attorney or service due to the resources we have here. 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.
  16. The online N-400 is very simple. I attached a letter to wife's application under additional evidence to request a combo interview. Go for it!! Good Luck.
  17. No. She is not eligible for an ITIN.
  18. ***Hijack comment split to a new topic****
  19. ***Comment split to new topic*** I assume you are aware of the K-1 limitations???
  20. The entertainment value of "The View" is overshadowed by the urge to vomit every time I see any of them or hear those screeching voices.
