Multiple people on the discord server and on reddit too said that if you try to get a tourist visa or apply to renew your esta with a pending k-1 they will deny it!

Applying for a visitor visa and renewing your ESTA are two very different things. I'm not aware of any questions on the ESTA application that pertain to a pending visa, please let me know if I'm wrong.

My esta runs out in February 2025 too (won’t be able to renew with a k-1 in process I’ve been told)

That's not true, who told you that?

Can anyone direct me to the correct forms to send in?

The forms for renewal are the same as the ones you used to apply originally, I-765 for employment authorization and I-131 for advance parole.

Once USCIS receives the applications, her EAD will be automatically extended for 180 days: https://www.uscis.gov/eadautoextend

I have had my I 129 K1 form approved,on the lawfully app. But have not got anything in the mail/email. I thought the I 134 form, has to be mailed to USCIS, and a copy brought to the interview?

Thecorkman

Once the I-129F is approved and forwarded to the NVC, USCIS has no further part in the process. Not until you get married and file for Adjustment of Status anyway.

At the moment my girlfriend, Victoria had overstayed her visa and we have only been together for a 1 year however we have no legal documents to show we are married if were to and I don’t know how serious the government is about fraud marriages but I also want her to be able to live here and wait to actually get married and make a home but we have no money to do so. I am seeking advice to what I can do any advice I will truly be grateful for. Thank you

Victoria is studying English in a community college school, working in software testing, 32 (where as I am 19, in community college, and in construction), arrived with a tourist visa, and has not committed any crimes here nor in Colombia, and has college education in her country as an accountant.

Hi thanks for responding, yes she got a student visa, however she is currently still taking classes and is working without current authorization

There's a lot of contradictory information here. What visa did she last use to enter the US? And has she overstayed her current visa or not?

Regardless, I don't see a way for her to get a green card unless you marry her. She'll have to return to Colombia, either now or at the end of her studies, depending on the conditions of her visa.

This is the second time you've posted a vague request for information about a visa category while providing no context whatsoever.

You'll need to ask more specific questions if you want people to actually help you.

As per my understanding, the requirement of K-1 visa to get married in the US is a federal one and not state related so I am of the view that getting my marriage registered in any state that allows first cousin marriages should fulfill that requirement of K-1.

It's your state of residence that matters, not the state where the marriage took place. From the USCIS policy manual:

USCIS does not recognize the following relationships as marriages, even if valid in the place of celebration:

Certain marriages that violate the strong public policy of the state of residence of the couple

What were you arrested for?

From their post history, it looks like it was for a DUI.

I have a feeling the OP isn't going to respond to this thread and will be back in a year or two to ask the same question again.

Hi!
Yes aware of the being stuck and not being able to work. I am just worried that they would think it’s fraud because of the k1 process when i really only planned to visit him for a few months and go back home.

That won't be an issue, your intent was established at the border and you had no plan to stay and adjust status at that time.

October 31, 2023

Yes, you can go ahead and file for adjustment of status if you want to.

Presumably you're also aware that you won't be able to work or leave the US for several months?

SalishSea · October 31, 2023

Always go by the official USCIS instructions, Phoenix is the correct address if you live in Colorado.

His exact words

said:

It means to ignore it, wait, and hope for approval sometime soon.

"Hope for approval sometime soon" is not the same as "you will be approved soon".

No one can tell you for sure when you will be approved, they're just saying not to pay too much attention to that generic USCIS message and to be patient.

Note: I will be speaking as the person who got approved of a B1/B2 visa to avoid confusion.

I think it has had the opposite effect.

Thanks, it looks like some people have tried to warn them that their plan won't work at least but of course they're not listening.

What was the title of the original post on Reddit? I'm curious to read the replies but I can't find it.

No haven’t.

Well that would be a lot easier than going through with the visa interview, it only takes a few minutes to find out if you're approved.

You didn't answer Boiler's question on what your other citizenship is though.

July 26, 2023

Have you tried applying for an ESTA since becoming a Swedish citizen?

Chancy · July 23, 2023

I'm honestly surprised that in the 2+ years you've been preparing to file the I-130, you haven't come across the differences between CR-1 and IR-1. Also, there are some discrepancies in your post history as you previously said you got married in October 2020, not November. Make sure your husband knows the correct date when it comes time for his interview.

But to answer your question (and as others have already said), you don't choose which one to apply for, it's automatic. Your husband will be issued an IR-1 visa as you've already been married for two years.

Marieke H · June 14, 2023

I have some help and guidance to offer.

If you make posts that contain objectively incorrect information, you need to either take more care before posting or just accept the inevitable corrections you'll receive and move on.

Your question was worded incoherently, don't laugh at someone for misinterpreting it when trying to answer.

We don’t appreciate snarky or loaded comments.

We have everything in place and just wanted advice.

It's difficult to give accurate advice when the information you provide is inconsistent or incomplete. You've yet to explain why your profile says that you applied for a TN visa.

I opened an account just to share this. I hope it answers your question

Which part answers their question?

All it says is who does and doesn't have to apply for a Schengen visa and how to apply. I think the OP is already aware of both of those things.

P055UM · May 27, 2023

Well there's a very easy and obvious way for them to avoid it.
