    DO NOT falsify information on US immigration forms. Do you want a lifetime ban from the US?
  2. SalishSea
    Most likely due to your country of origin.

    USCIS simply approves petitions. They are approving that the beneficiary is eligible for the visa which they have been petitioned for. Department of State issues visas. That is a completely different process. Having an approved petition is no guarantee of a visa.

    The extra vetting has been the reality ever since the San Bernardino terrorists.

    Scammers often try to get money from USCs, in addition to GCs (green cards). Not at all suggesting she is doing this, but here at VJ we have seen people who have gotten scrutiny during the immigration process when the couple is not yet married and the USC is supporting the beneficiary.

    OP's fiance is from India. The CFO is only required for filipinos.

    Incorrect. Very outdated info.

    Paying for these things for a fiance can backfire actually.....common tactic by GC scammers....

    When you get to the AOS and ROC stages, you’ll wish some of those new hires were charged with adjudicating other types of petitions.
  10. SalishSea
    No.
  11. SalishSea
    lol so you disagree?
  12. SalishSea
    So the extent of the fraud investigation was due to you mistakenly writing K-1 as the class of admission, and that was information you got from VJ? Seems very, very odd for that to have held anything up, let alone necessitate a fraud investigation. That makes no sense whatsoever.

    Has nothing at all to do with your 401K. In fact, you SHOULD be contributing as much as you can afford to, up to the annual maximum, because at retirement whatever you get in social security will likely be insufficient for you to live on. Also, there are great tax advantages to contributing to your workplace based 401K - the part of the income deducted from your pay to fund it is not taxed.

    Except that during a large chunk of that time you would have been within normal processing times. AOS at our local field office (Seattle) has historically taken up to three years.

    I’m confused. You say you have been “waiting for a decision for three years,” but isn’t it the case that for most of that time you were waiting for an interview, not a decision? And in fact you’ve been waiting for a decisions since February 22 - so actually just 3 months?
  16. SalishSea
    That is normal. AOS is not approved “on the spot” these days. Husband’s interview was 1/30/20, and the card was produced on 2/25/20. The USCIS account status message about being in review did not change until that date. Waiting is hard, but we’ve all been there.
  17. SalishSea
    It doesn’t. You even quoted my comment verbatim, with no citation.
  18. SalishSea
    Thank you very much for the detailed info!

    I have wanted to travel to Iran since seeing Anthony Bourdain's show about going there. Looks so beautiful and interesting. On my bucket list if it ever opens up for Americans.
  20. SalishSea
    I think you’ll be fine. The focus is on *current* income, as evidenced by paystubs.
  21. SalishSea
    Helps too that your beneficiary is not from a country the United States officially designated as a state sponsor of terror. In other words: one short visit for NZ vs one short visit for Iran =apples and oranges.

    I don’t doubt those isolated cases. I was just pointing out that LFO does not impact EAD the way that it does GC.
  23. SalishSea
    EAD processing Is not done by the LFOs, so the processing times do not vary by state the way GC processing does.
  24. SalishSea
    And you all share one VJ account?
  25. SalishSea
    I figured they didn’t live together in the beneficiary’s country if the consulate was questioning the lack of time spent together……
