    With immigrant intent, she will need to convince them of her ties to home and plan to return home after vacation.

    Entirely depends upon the consulate/country, and whether there are other red flags in your case. If you want meaningful feedback, please do a timeline.

    We submitted zero photos, and were approved without any problems.

    If you have removal orders, you absolutely need an immigration lawyer. This is way beyond the scope of Visa Journey.

    Kiwi needs to do the same thing, but currently the passport office still has his original naturalization certificate.... 4 weeks today since they received the application, so hopefully soon.

    Your parents not knowing about your older American wife of 4 years is a big red flag.

    OP, is there a language barrier here? I think you should return to the Mailboxes, etc and ask for your paperwork back. Documents intended for the US consulate in London need to be mailed properly. If they put it in a drawer, it's not going to get there. You will not get the visa if you don't properly provide the documents requested.

    Requesting a CV can be part of the vetting process for any US visa. Were you born in a different country than the UK? What were the consulate's specific instructions for submitting your CV? I agree with Jeanne, it seems that you dropped it off at a mailing place without a properly addressed envelope, so I'm not sure what they would do with that.

    It sounds like an error. Have you tried emailing the consulate directly?

    Was not smart of her to have lied about ANYTHING asked in the visa interviews, no matter how trivial. Often they ask questions they already know the answers to…

    There is a lot of chatter on social media about the use of "burner phones" to conceal info from USCIS, DHS, CBP etc. So, I expect they're cracking down on fraud by looking closer at phones as well as at social media content. Most people (depending on age) will have an expected volume and type of content on their phones. If she did not, they would wonder why.

    This is the reason. Extra vetting for Pakistanis due to a variety of issues.

    Good questions. The bar for domicile is very consulate-specific. Montreal, for example, is very strict. I'm not sure about MNL. Perhaps @Crazy Cat, or one of the other mods would want to move this thread to the Philippines-specific subform.

    Same sex marriage is still legal in all 50 states. This could change. Visa applications are adjudicated using US law, even in countries where the prevailing laws are different.

    You will want to look into the financial/income requirements for sponsoring an immigrant, as well as the domicile requirements. You will need US-based income. It is often unavoidable that the USC spouse has to return to the states earlier than the intending immigrant to satisfy these requirements.

    That sounds like great evidence. Good luck!

    I might be wrong, but at least in other jurisdictions, it depends on whether there is a name change occurring, requiring a judge's action.

    Probably not, since many countries don't even routinely stamp passports any longer. Boarding passes are great, as is the I-94. Sometimes people try to use printed trip itineraries though, which is not great evidence of actual travel, but just a booking.

    LOL it's not actually advantageous for the petition to be approved many years before the visa is available - you understand that, right?
  20. SalishSea
    Unlike others commenting, we did a joint letter of intent to marry. No RFEs, no problems. We provided no concrete wedding plans in our petition, aside from the obvious plan to marry within the 90 days. The purpose of passport stamps is to provide primary evidence of the required one meeting in the two years prior. Don't overthink things.

    Be aware that the vetting he would experience (in the form of AP in Montreal) based on his citizenship will not be eliminated by adjusting status. He will face the same scrutiny, possibly more due to adjusting.
  22. SalishSea
    If that is the case, having a lawyer won't help.
  23. SalishSea
    Somehow I’d missed this! Congratulations!!
  24. SalishSea
    You can ask for your passport back if you need it. AP cannot be avoided, particularly since you’re from a high fraud country.
  25. SalishSea
    You are absolutely here soliciting assistance on how to conduct immigration fraud. I’ve reported this thread as it goes against the TOS you agreed to when you signed up for VJ.
