    Bottom line is that the US immigrant visa process is totally unrelated to arrival of a future baby. Your beneficiary needs the appropriate visa in order to live in the US, and a B visa is not it. Both K and CR processes are currently taking > 2 years, especially via Montreal. If this timeline does not work with your family planning, maybe consider whether you can move to Canada?

    B2 is gone once she has the K visa. The current wait time for travel and work auth is a big drawback to K-1 vs CR-1.

    The USC petitioner should be the one filing the petition.
  4. SalishSea
    This form is filed by a USC petitioner, not a beneficiary. I suggest you both study the guides and educate yourselves about this process.
  5. SalishSea
    Nope. Covid has not precluded anyone from meeting. The USC petitioner needs to join VJ and begin researching this process. Also - "as soon as possible" is not a thing for US immigration. It will take at least two years for you to get here, whichever visa process is used.
  6. SalishSea
    Uh, you cannot use a tourist visa to immigrate.
  7. SalishSea
    Please read the guides and look at the checklist that accompanies the I-129f on USCIS.gov.

    You realize they have access to the notes from this event, right? Tell the truth. And btw, "inadequate documentation" does refer to working. You worked without the document authorizing the right to work.

    Sounds like you’re verging on international parental abduction here.

    That organization somehow bypasses federal/FAA regulations?

    My understanding was that pilot training/paid work has required LPR status post 9/11.
  12. SalishSea
    That is less of an immigration question and more of a question for the FAA itself, since pilots in the US now must have green cards, and my understanding is that includes for training. The EAD is not the same evidence of status as the actual green card.
  13. SalishSea
    Would be F2A I believe.

    You will need to show evidence of intent to be domiciled in the US if you want to sponsor an immigrant.

    It would be some miracle if you got a GC 3 months after filing, with no interview. Not that it hasn't happened, but it is not the norm.
  16. SalishSea
    I wouldn’t call that a ‘simple 221g.’ In fact, it is a DS-5535, often given to Pakistani applicants for further vetting. I would not expect them to get a non-immigrant visa, now that they want to immigrate. Whatever issues that led to the DS-5535 being given to them will likely persist through the immigrant visa process.

    You don’t know the dates of your marriages?

    Would you really be comfortable with all of the uncertainties this plan contains? Not everyone would. Tourist visas are not for living abroad. When you request admission to a country, you're at the mercy of their border officers. Most people with newborns need a more stable living situation. Why don't you just petition her for an immigrant visa? She can visit the US on ESTA and Canada per their rules. Choosing to have a relationship and family with someone who lives overseas has it's challenges; namely: time and money. We've all been there. There aren't really any easy loopholes.

    Also shop for providers who accept Medicaid.

    How someone got LPR status is absolutely relevant.to their naturalization application.
  21. SalishSea
    Average processing time is 13 months. You won’t have an approval until next year.
  22. SalishSea
    This thread should be pinned for future K-1 applicants who feel compelled to send one thousand screen shots of WhatsApp convos with the petition.
  23. SalishSea
    $1k/ month per parent just for premiums is quite normal. Plus, the costs of things not covered at 100%. Medical bankruptcies are quite prevalent in the US. I see it firsthand.
  24. SalishSea
    Unfortunately, missing your family is not grounds to expedite. Time from DQ to interview is entirely dependent upon your consulate.
  25. SalishSea
    Withdrawing an immigrant petition will not erase strong ties to the US. Those ties will be used to evaluating ‘immigrant intent’ when adjudicating a B2 application, as required by law. Obviously ‘immigrant intent’ can change and is not permanent, but it is always the lens through which any tourist visa application is judged.
