    Looks like you intend to use a visitor visa to live in the US part-time. That won't fly. It might work for the first couple of admissions, but after that you may get hauled to secondary and a stern warning. You risk losing your visa.

    She will likely need a waiver for misrepresentation. The consular officer will make this call. You may be better off with a lawyer to help prepare that, and it will add a year or two to the process.

    I don’t think she was aware of the requirement to ROC prior to naturalizing.

    It should not matter, since they have no legal path to adjust before their visa numbers are available in 25 years or so.
  5. SalishSea
    Obviously. In this case however, it is clear that OP is not eligible to file for VAWA. Being unhappy is not adequate for VAWA criteria.
  6. SalishSea
    I would for sure. However, I don't know how long ITINs are currently taking to be issued. If < 6 months, I'd say try it. If your spouse gets scheduled for an interview before that, you can always file as MFS (so that you'll have evidence of filing for the interview), and amend your filing status to MFJ later.

    Because until the security checks/vetting is complete, all of the other stuff is irrelevant. Fiance will likely need another interview after AP, where the other stuff would be looked at.

    They can visit (subject to CBP admission, just like any visitor), they cannot adjust status and stay. Visiting does not impact their petition for an immigrant visa, BUT, they need to be very, very careful about never being out of status or overstaying, because if so, they will not be able to immigrate.

    You met in person during the two years prior to filing, correct? I doubt you will have any issues at all, being a same-sex couple. Gay marriage is (still) legal in all 50 states, and US embassies and consulates adjudicate visa applications using US laws, not local laws. The age difference is not generally an issue for Philippines. I can't think of any specific VJ posts or members in your exact situation, but maybe others here can.

    With the extension, when are your taxes due? Perhaps you'll have the ITIN before that, right? That is what I would do, if possible.
  11. SalishSea
    Removing conditions and citizenship are two separate processes. VJ has guides for them.

    Of course they will “know,” and yes, it will attract attention because it could be perceived as fraudulent business transactions.
  13. SalishSea
    They don’t believe that you will leave the US when the terms of your visa are up (finishing the program). Money and admissions for other programs will not change that.
  14. SalishSea
    Yes!! Our USCIS officer wanted to see them. LOL, we had eloped, and they were mostly selfies, but at least we had them with us.
  15. SalishSea
    Exactly. So funny how commenters in the thread are quick to mention restraining orders (and define VAWA for me) etc, when the OP has not made mention of anything even mildly related to filing for VAWA.
  16. SalishSea
    I understand what it means.
  17. SalishSea
    ?? Nothing in the original post says anything about violence. What would be the basis for a restraining order?
  18. SalishSea
    I don’t think you have a firm grasp on what VAWA actually is. If you just want a green card, why not have him petition you?

    I think that’s fine, as you will have a paper trail to show that the cash came from the sale of real estate. The problem is more when people try to improve their finances “on paper” via large deposits of gift money or loans from relatives. The key is just having good documentation to show the source of the money.
  21. SalishSea
    That's not how that works, though. You paid the first doctor for the exam and he will send the report to the American consulate, because he is contracted to do so. Getting a second one won't cancel out the first. I'm not sure we've seen a situation where a person has two separate medical exam results sent to the consulate, but given that you are going through a high-fraud, high-risk one, I would avoid doing anything that would increase the risk of AP. JMHO.
  22. SalishSea
    You have filled out the form incorrectly.
  23. SalishSea
    Retaliation for what? For reporting him to the consulate?
  24. SalishSea
    You don’t seem to understand the rules of the visa vs the financial requirements. May want to do a bit of reading about them.
  25. SalishSea
    It is because she is Iranian. k-1 is not a great choice if you want to be able to plan a wedding, because, as you’re finding, it’s not possible to plan.
