  1. Actually no - you're asking for FREE information of strangers on the internet. Feel free to hire a professional. Every single person commenting on this thread has been on VJ for YEARS, reading stories similar to yours, and how they end up. Does that mean we know what will happen in your case? No. But, we know that they way you've gone about this has odds stacked against you, and there are things you could have/can still do to improve your chances of immigrating to the US.
  2. This is entirely incorrect. You obviously choose to be with your partner. And, when we CHOOSE overseas partners, separation is a part of the process, as are the extra costs, delays, bumps in the road, etc. The two of you chose to submit a fiancee petition after having spent the bare minimum time together, with no subsequent visits, and for a high-risk, high-fraud consulate. Had you found your way to VJ before applying, we would have advised you to do whatever you could to maximize your chances of an approval. Unfortunately that did not happen. Often in cases like yours, the petition is sent back to USCIS and the couple ends up marrying and refiling. Keep in mind if you do this, that another two week visit is not going to be adequate, either. Due to green card marriage fraud coming from certain countries, the burden of proof to show evidence of a bonafide marriage is higher than for low fraud countries.
  3. OP, if “not spending time together before marriage” was important to you, then you absolutely picked the wrong visa. Should have married and done a CR-1. People going through tough consulates don’t need to create extra reasons for denial for themselves.
  4. Oops, never mind. Just saw that there is no age difference. Ideally for high-fraud consulates, more in-person face time is needed.
  5. As long as you didn’t lie to CBP about your intent (i e not to adjust status and stay), it is fine.
  6. This is correct. Also OP you should expect some extra scrutiny based on your unfortunate “only married for the green card” statement.
  7. YOU keep posting personal info, and then it gets quoted. Then a moderator (Crazy Cat) has to edit/remove. If you can try to avoid posting personal info on this very public internet page, your thread will not be so convoluted.
  8. This is why you need to become an A student of all things immigration. Some people really do need paid assistance or legal help to navigate through it.
  9. Boiler’s comment was referring to a VJ member who has made many appearances on Hacking’s show. Jeez, chill.
  10. In fact, Family is one of the few here who has direct experience working in an immigration capacity.
  11. Yikes. Okay, no REPUTABLE health care professional would ever give an expired vaccine.
  12. "Expired" and "no longer in use" are not the same. No professional medical provider will knowingly administer a medication that has passed the expiration date on the vial. It sounds more like you are talking about an "older" vaccine, i.e. the ones formulated for use prior to the current one. These may not be as effective as the ones formulated to fight newer variants, but if they are available and in use, they would fulfill the requirement. I recommend confirming which situation it is before deciding. AFAIK, there is no alternative except for seeking a vaccine waiver, and those are nearly impossible to get if you've had any type of vaccine previously.
  13. They suspect immigrant intent. Very difficult bar to overcome, especially if other family members have adjusted status on B visas.
  14. You can’t call to discuss someone else’s tourist application.
  15. Yes, the stepchild/stepparent relationship must be legally established by marriage prior to the stepchild turning 18.
  16. Well, what happens if you go, and they want to ask her questions, but she's at work? It's really not that complicated to work out why it is important that your spouse attends.
  17. If you are removing conditions and naturalizing under a marriage-based GC, she obviously needs to go.
  18. Your title and original post literally asks “when can I file.” Some people are confused about whether they are filing for a spouse, like they did for the immigrant visa petition.
  19. YOU don’t file for that. SHE can certainly file for that when eligible.
  20. There may be info posted on the US embassy Haiti website. In similar situations we have seen, all visa operations would be deferred and any resources used solely for the purpose of assisting US citizens to get out of the country. There is not much you can do.
