K1 Visa Interview was too early, embassy to my Fiancée to wait for embassy to make the appointment what does that mean?
-
I would NOT wait until September. I would marry now, and submit the Adjustment of Status package BEFORE the expiration of your current stay.,,,,before the date in early June. Once your current I-94 expires, you will be removable....until you file the I-485. There are no benefits in waiting. Here is the guide you need:
-
Follow the instructions she was given. If the consulate fails to contact her in 4 weeks, email them. Again, this comes directly from the page I linked above: " If you do not receive the instructions from the U.S Embassy within four weeks of the NVC notification about the transfer of your case to the embassy, you may email the consular section directly at conslao@state.gov."
-
Yes. Read the link I posted.
-
Laos....the country.
-
Your fiance must wait for instructions from the consulate.
-
Not in Laos. Apply for a U.S. Visa | Immigrant Visa Information - Laos (English) (ustraveldocs.com) "Scheduling an appointment online Please do NOT schedule your interview date until you have received an instruction letter from the U.S. Embassy. Below is the procedure to begin the process of scheduling an appointment online:"

Once you file a proper I-485, you will be granted authorized stay in the US until the I-485 is processed. "Authorized Stay" is not a legal status, but it prevents accrual of unlawful presence. You are in a limbo status. You will be "out of Status", but in "authorized stay". Maintenance of Status - Reddy Neumann Brown PC (rnlawgroup.com)

Those same things could cause a K-1 to be denied. It appears this is a straight forward adjustment of status case. We can only advise based on what any OP tells us. With what we know, I see no issues,
-
If the OP returns to home country before marriage, he/she still has to adjust status upon returning as a K-1 visa holder. Then, the OP must wait for a Green Card (6 months to a year after entry). If the OP marries, then returns home, the couple must start the spousal visa process. That can take 18 months to 2 years or so. If OP marries, then immediately applies for Adjustment of Status, then he/she will obtain a Green Card in 6-12 months (likely). This is the fastest route to a Green Card under the current circumstances. I see no reason to think the adjustment of status will be denied. Personally, I think adjusting status is a good, viable route since OP is already inside the US.
-
Yes, you can marry, then apply to adjust status. Once you marry, the I-129f is voided, but the US spouse can send a letter of withdrawal along with the I-130/I-485. Personally, I would make sure the I-485 is filed prior to the expiration of your VWP visit. Just be aware of the restrictions regarding work and travel. The extra expense will be for an I-130.
-
" C. Visa Waiver Programs A noncitizen admitted as a nonimmigrant without a visa under a Visa Waiver Program is barred from adjustment of status.[8] Similarly, a noncitizen admitted as a nonimmigrant without a visa to Guam or to the CNMI is barred from adjustment of status.[9] These bars do not apply, however, to those seeking to adjust status as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen or VAWA-based applicants."

Yep. You're right. There are fewer I-131s filed after April 1st.
