We have had trans people post on VJ…. Specifically regarding the issue of sex assigned at birth on BC vs what appears on current documentation. -
Should I enter POE with my Fiance
SalishSea replied to USnHU's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
We entered across a land border together (fiance had flown from NZ into Vancouver). You definitely can, but must you? I don't think so. The only time in all my years on VJ that I've seen anyone be turned away has been when there was an issue with the visa itself (i.e., the beneficiary got married before arriving) etc, or the one who joked "maybe" when asked by CBP if he intended on marrying his fiance. This is exactly the type of thing my kiwi would have joked about, so I put the fear of god in him to not do anything of the kind. -
Most likely because they suspected that it was fraudulent- that you were in it for a green card. You will have to work hard to convince them of the bonafides of this relationship- lots of in-person time spent together, many visits etc. You are from a country with high levels of immigration fraud and other issues, so it will not be easy. Your girlfriend should probably join VisaJourney. You both have much to learn.

I think there maybe some confusion over petitioner vs sponsor. They are not the same. The OP asked about petitioning (I-485) not sponsorship (I-864). The only person who can sign and jointly file (with the K-1 visa holder) the I-485 petition to adjust status is the USC spouse whose name is printed on the visa itself.

USCIS shipping time to NVC?
SalishSea replied to Kaan's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
No, they do not send a welcome letter for K-1s. -
You may be just fine, since it is up to the CO (not NVC). Also- CURRENT income is reflected in payslips. Tax transcripts and W2s are PAST income. Consulates are much more interested in current vs historical income, because you can’t support an immigrant on what you made in the past. Take the weekly pay from your most recent payslip and multiply x 52 to get your current annual income. Sometimes if it is marginal and there is no possibility of a joint sponsor, petitioners will get a second job or try for a higher-paying job to make up the difference.

We have seen arrivals with K-1 visas be turned back by CBP for the “wife” reference, the perception being that they’ve arrived at POE married and are no longer eligible for the K-1. It is safe to assume there is context for advice given by old timers on VJ. -

And yet…. you yourself pop in and out of that thread to “culturally translate” what you perceive the OP to be saying. Speaking on behalf of the OP is an odd role to have taken for yourself. 🤷♀️ And I guess if you have a problem with members utilizing the reaction emojis made available to them, you should take it up with the site owners? -
Case returned back to USCIS
SalishSea replied to Doc B's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
I don’t see it happening. No one in a bonafide marriage “gives permission” to their spouse to have a baby with someone else. Your marriage looks like a sham marriage for the purpose of obtaining a green card. If you want to come to the United States, it won’t be through this route. -
PD for what? OP posted under the Tourist Visa forum. There is no PD for tourist visas.

You must not have been around during the height of Covid, when actual spouses of US citizens were prioritized over unrelated fiances at consulates worldwide. I did a K-1 in 2018. Processing times were relatively fast. Seeing what happened during Covid convinced me that CR-1 is superior.

K1 interview Quito-Guayaquil
SalishSea replied to N30's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Not sure where you got the idea that you have to choose. K-1 interviews are conducted by the immigrant visa section of consulates.- 5 replies

I-130 and then I-824
SalishSea replied to Partha's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
YOU made the error. There is no expediting for your error. -
I-130 and then I-824
SalishSea replied to Partha's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Dude, you're so desperate. US immigration is a process that takes time. We have all had to wait our turns. While you're waiting, read and research as much as you can about the upcoming processes so that you can avoid more errors. -
Questions about income requirement?
SalishSea replied to PokuPoku's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Sounds like you will need a joint sponsor. -

You need to read and thoroughly research all of the forms for the process.
