    Are you married, or not? You cannot bring a domestic partner in any case.

    I always assume CBP can see all documents and notes related to US immigration, but they don't publish that info. Most likely you'll be fine, as long as you prepare to demonstrate strong ties to home. I'd say the caregiver to grandpa is not a strong tie, since obviously you're preparing to leave that role when you immigrate.
  3. SalishSea
    This is not a strong tie. Especially since you have demonstrated immigrant intent, so presumably you can get the medication in the US. IMO, the POE shouldn't dictate how you prepare to interact with CBP. It's a crapshoot every time, regardless of POE.
  4. SalishSea
    Bring evidence of your ties to home. Are you taking a 6 week holiday from work? Bring a letter attesting to that, with the day you're expected to return. They may wonder if you plan to work remotely here while on vacation. If so, don't. That is not allowed. Do not bring "moving house" volumes of belongings.
  5. SalishSea
    Wonder if that’s a retrogression record? F2A was current for so long prior to that.
  6. SalishSea
    Very sorry, but one of the VAWA requirements is that you’ve lived together in the US. Sounds like you have only visited on VWP etc.
  7. SalishSea
    K-1 was the wrong choice if you needed to make concrete wedding plans, especially if the “religious reasons” mean the beneficiary is from one of the countries that may come with extended administrative processing post-interview.
  8. SalishSea
    Amazing that she arrived and so quickly changed plans to adjust status with no need to return from ‘vacation’….. 😳
  9. SalishSea
    So you’re saying an answer you provided on the electronic form somehow got changed by USCIS?
  10. SalishSea
    Yes
  11. SalishSea
    Best bet is to not lie any more to US immigration.
  12. SalishSea
    And what will you do for a salary to sponsor her? She should be focusing on getting a Schengen visa. Apparently it is getting harder by the day for Russians to get them.
  13. SalishSea
    Or better yet, have the "friend" post here and get first-hand answers. If the petitioner's parent is a sibling of the beneficiary's parent, they are first cousins.
  14. SalishSea
    There are a lot of ill-informed or even scammy lawyers out there. Your best bet, going forward, is to do everything by the law, and don't try to take advantage of the privilege of the B visa. Especially since she is not a Canadian citizen. Petition her for an immigrant visa and wait in the queue like everyone else.
  15. SalishSea
    Yes, you received faulty advice. The terms of the B visa do not permit work of any kind.
  16. SalishSea
    I see. Yes, the visa itself confers no work authorization.
  17. SalishSea
    3-4 days per WEEK? IMO, that’s pushing it. CBP doesn’t like it when people abuse their B visa privileges by using them to LIVE in the US. What job does she have that would allow that chunk of time off every week? Hopefully you both understand that she cannot work remotely on a B visa.
  18. SalishSea
    How do you have an I-551 stamp!
  19. SalishSea
    I think Boiler quoted you accidentally.
  20. SalishSea
    If you are an ‘active member’ here, you’d know that’s FRAUD.
  21. SalishSea
    It depends. If they want to do a second interview, you’d need to try to get the case transferred to a different consulate.
  22. SalishSea
    Why Russia? As her interview will not be there. You need to retain domicile in the US to sponsor her. Will you be relying on a joint sponsor?
  23. SalishSea
    I think you lack understanding of basic immigration terms. There is no way around the requirement for him to have a valid CR-1 or K-1 visa if you wish to bring him to the US to live and work legally.
  24. SalishSea
    The fraud is entering the US with the intent to adjust status. He needs a valid visa intended for the purpose of immigrating through marriage to a USC, which would be CR-1 or K-1.
  25. SalishSea
    US immigration takes time and planning. You can't just move here during the process. You can't live or work in the US on ESTA or a B visa. Your wife needs to petition you for a spousal visa with consular processing. It will take up to two years. I suggest you both thoroughly research the entire visa process, including which documents and forms are needed, and how your wife will be able to sponsor you as an immigrant.
