    Marieke H got a reaction from Coffee2Go in No USCIS Help with my case with question for RFE   
    I had a similar issue with my birth certificate that was in multiple languages including English. I just created a "translation" document that had just the English pieces, included an interpreter statement saying that I am fluent in both languages and the translation is complete and accurate, and submitted that. It felt dumb, but seemed easier than trying to argue.

    Please stop spreading misinformation. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. If you believe that there are statistics to back your claims, please share links to that information.

    - What do you mean by buying time?
    - Once again, what was the reason for denial? Alleged fraud? Something else?
    - Why is the travel important right now, why not focus on immigration status you're losing?
     
    Tell us more and we can help. Tell us less and we can't help, because vague descriptions don't allow us to establish a fact pattern.

    The only restriction is entering the US as a visitor with the intent to STAY and adjust status.  The OP clearly stated the intent to start the spousal visa process, instead.  That is 100% legal.  
    To my knowledge, there has never been a single spousal visa case denied because the marriage took place inside the US during a visit. Many, many foreign visitors marry in the US every year.
     
    Additionally, the K-3 is obsolete.  They are very rarely ever issued.

    This is incorrect. Thousands of people marry on tourist visas, including destination weddings such as Las Vegas. OP indicated no intent to immigrate - they clearly said they will be returning and pursuing a spousal visa.

    This is not true.  There are no restrictions regarding marriage after entry as a visitor as stated by the OP.

    Because you are refusing to share your sister's current status in the US, we can't answer this question. 
    The immigrant's income and assets may be included in some cases, but it depends on the circumstances.

    Any legit job that pays enough to raise a family will ask for your SSN. And you use the SSN to properly report your income to the IRS. If neither of those things interests you, all I can say is good luck, girlll

    The only option is the truth. You cannot lie about information that could lead to a denial. 
     
    It is not simply about where you get married; it is about where you intend to live. 
     
    Your only option is to move to a state where first cousin marriages are legal.

    Marieke H reacted to carmel34 in Begging for help at this point please...   
    You have the NOA1 so all is normal, nothing to worry about.  Online case status is not important and often inaccurate.  Now you just wait...  patience is key.  You won't hear anything for many, many months maybe a year or more while the petition sits in a pile and collects dust.

    Marieke H reacted to OldUser in 135 days and still waiting for my physical green card to arrive. Frustrating !!   
    1. Oath ceremony applies to US citizenship, and not to GC. I'm confused.
    2. What exact errors are you seeing? It's not uncommon for GC to take 6 months to arrive. Also, did you change US addresses since you applied for GC?
    3. You don't have to wait for arrival of SS card. Fill out the SS-5 form, take it to the SSA office and get a SS card. You have a stamp in the passport proving your status.

    Marieke H got a reaction from Petrisaint Mpaka in DV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?   
    Don't get hung up on just the visa processing time. While getting a CR-1 visa may take a few more months, it will allow you to start working, driving, etc, immediately after arrival in the US. With the K-1, you will basically be stuck at home for many months after arrival.
     
    And to get back to your original question: the chance of winning the DV lottery is very small, so don't count on it. Your marriage-based immigration option has a much higher chance of success, so don't wait to find out the DV lottery results.
