    That is what I think. I tried pulling the timelines, but I couldn't pull just DCF cases. I'll try again later.

    A spousal visa (as compared to adjustment of status) would mean immediate ability to work inside the US, immediate ability to travel outside the US, immediate Green Card, and faster eligibility to file for US citizenship.
  3. Crazy Cat
    Visiting during the immigration process is perfectly legal (at the discretion of CBP).
  4. Crazy Cat
    A spousal visa (through DFC or otherwise) is far, far superior to adjusting status.....far superior.
  5. Crazy Cat
    I know it is very consulate dependent, but have you seen any recent DCF process times? I can't seem to mine that data in the timeline section.
  6. Crazy Cat
    DCF is very consulate specific, and it normally takes only a few months ..not 16.. A normal spousal visa would take about 18-24 months.

    Seems you are possibly seeking instructions to bypass the long legal immigration route. If so, that could be seen as a plan to misrepresent your entry. A better route might be to apply for an IR-1 spousal visa under the DCF route after your wife has a need for short time job relocation. That way, you would be a Green card holder as soon as you enter the US with a valid spousal visa.

    I know.
  9. Crazy Cat
    Agree.

    I don't think @SalishSea is suggesting the OP scan the certified copy.

    You are a US citizen. He is an immediate relative of a US citizen. Consulate officers, by law, must assume that anyone (especially an immediate relative) who applies for a B2 visa has intent to immigrate illegally. The number one reason for visitor visa denials is lack of strong ties to home country. If his DS-160 can adequately show very strong ties to home, then maybe the CO will approve. I have my doubts, but he is free to apply.

    If eligible, you can (and should) file under the 5 year rule. Less paperwork, easy application.

    Her new legal name is any combination of the names on the actual marriage certificate. The certificate is a legal name change document. Should start using the name she wants on EVERYTHING from now on.

    Sounds like it has nothing to do with USCIS.
  15. Crazy Cat
    Why would USCIS even send her a notice?
  16. Crazy Cat
    Post a copy of that notice. Under what circumstances was a USCIS notice sent to her?
  17. Crazy Cat
    No.

    @txvl66 FYI- The Social Security Administration will not issue a SSN in their office if it is within 2 weeks of the expiration of the I-94. That's why they wouldn't allow him to apply. But, as I said, he can apply for a SSN on either the I-485 or I-765. 😃
  19. Crazy Cat
    Yep. Actually, the 90 days started when he entered the US..... Looks like your spouse entered the US about April 15th, 2023. Therefore the I-94 expired about July 15th. Since you married within 90 days of entry, you will not need an I-130. Good luck.

    ***Moved to Adjustment of Status from K-1 forum area as OP's spouse has already entered the US, and the K-1 process has been completed*****
  21. Crazy Cat
    Did you marry within 90 days of entry into the US? If not, you will also need to file an I-130.
  22. Crazy Cat
    A SSN is not required to file for adjustment of status. He can request a SSN on the I-485. I would get the I-485, I131, and I-765 packages filed asap. Delaying means a delay in working, traveling outside the US, getting a Green Card, and filing for citizenship. There are no benefits in delaying. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

    So, what Federal Government departments would fit the exception? Did they say?
  24. Crazy Cat
    True. In addition, I think a B2 is not likely in this case.
  25. Crazy Cat
    I'd say that an N-400 appication fits the exception...but, of course, you can mail the application. Protect your Vital Records | St. Croix County, WI (sccwi.gov)
