    You don't need a visa just to marry inside the US. You can enter the US via VWP/ESTA, marry, then go back to the UK prior to the end of your authorized stay. You would, however, require a visa to live in the US after marriage.

    That is exactly what I suspect. Last in-First out to lower average processing times. Unfair and corrupt, if true, imo. For my wife's case, USCIS collected the I-751 fee in early 2019, then sat on the case (no RFEs) until after she had applied for citizenship. Both the I-751 and N-400 were approved during our combo interview in Dec 2022. Of course, her extension letter expired during that wait, and we had to get an ADIT stamp for travel. It took 44 months for approval of wife's I-751...with no RFEs.

    I am an advocate of just eliminating the I-751 completely. When some cases take almost 4 years while others take only 3 weeks, something is wrong. Besides, my stats show that only about 1% of I-751s are actually denied. That, alone, tells me the 2 year Green card is not needed. Elimination would certainly benefit us, the clients, as well as USCIS. I guess the I-751 is a cash cow.

    Different question...different member.....deserved its own thread....which I created. Now, you will get answers specific to YOUR question in your own thread. In fact, you already have received good answers in your new thread.

    They asked my wife. It's a legit question. You must declare amounts over $10,000. They counted her cash, then released her from secondary inspection.

    ****This thread was split from existing thread**** Title changed to reflect subject of question*** Moderator Hat off: The visa, after being issued, will expire 6 months after the medical exam is done. It could expire even sooner. Now that the interview has been scheduled by NVC, you can contact the consulate and ask them to reschedule to a later date. Their discretion. We did that (for another reason) after my wife's interview was initially scheduled. Good luck.

    Congratulations!!!!

    I recommend filing online under the 5 year rule. We just completed the naturalization process (wife). It was easy and relatively fast. Good luck.
  12. Crazy Cat
    She received a 2 year Green Card in 2017? If so, she has been a legal resident (green card holder) since 2017. Seems, to me, she meets the 5-year rule. Are you sure the eligibility questions were answered correctly? @Timona, your thoughts?

    Don't fall into the "What if" trap. It can drive you crazy....and the immigration process is already stressful.

    2.5 hours

    It will not be another interview. In my wife's case, they took the seal envelope, counted her money, and said "welcome to the US". I think 2 and a half hours is sufficient to process in and make your connection. DFW is a pretty "connection friendly", imo.
  16. Crazy Cat
    Depends. It took my wife 90 minutes at DFW when she arrived a few years ago. Expect to go to secondary as a formality. This is not another formal interview. It is not an interrogation of any kind. Since you have been married more than 2 years, remind the officer that this is an IR-1 entry. Congratulations and good luck.

    Depends on the reason for denial. Sometimes, denied cases are successfully appealed and/or rectified.
  18. Crazy Cat
    Thanks for the update. I was curious about those drive-in oath ceremonies.... and congratulations!!!
  19. Crazy Cat
    The DS-160 and I-134 are, in fact, applicable to K-1 visas (although I'm not sure Manila requires the I-134). Good luck on your journey.
  20. Crazy Cat
    The USCIS data system can be a little glitchy at times. It appears, to me, that you are scheduled for the oath. Congratulations!! You should be proud to have navigated the US immigration system to this point.
  21. Crazy Cat
    I know of two great VJ members whom I have seen on the Hacking show. I'm sure there are more. I enjoy the cases.
  22. Crazy Cat
    After the oath ceremony, you are free from USCIS. No need to report address changes or worry about them.. You are free...LOL

    Biden recently said hurricanes are more frequent now....another lie.
  24. Crazy Cat
    By law, the visa expiration date cannot exceed 6 months past the medical exam date. Therefore, the consulate will either require her to travel almost immediately (after the visa is issued), or they will request another medical exam. It will be their discretion.
