    It is considered spamming to start multiple threads on the same topic, which is why the mods discourage it.
  2. SalishSea
    No change to this answer since your last thread about same topic. 6 months from medical exam.

    AP is not intended for spending large amounts of time outside of the U.S. also- what will you do if your AOS is denied while you’re gone? You do realize you wouldn’t be able to come back, right?
  4. SalishSea
    It means “no” to the waiver request.
  5. SalishSea
    Not sure where you’re getting the timeline info, but relying 8 year old timelines is not smart. There is no measurable difference in 2024 between CR-1 and K-1 timelines. Hopefully you also realize that the petition approval is only one step of the process?
  6. SalishSea
    And yet millions of people were not required to do that before being approved for a CR-1 visa. 🤔
  7. SalishSea
    LOL what? You need to do some more research, as your info is incorrect.
  8. SalishSea
    It takes up to two years total. You should familiarize yourself with the forms and current fees. Everything is available on USCIS.gov. If you’re looking at K-1, you also need to learn about adjustment of status and the fees for that. Be proactive.

    Just answer the questions normally. Conversational comprehension isn't black and white. The point isn’t that they care why you want to vote , they care that you are able to communicate the reasons in English.
  10. SalishSea
    Not correct for 2024. Either K-1 or CR-1 will take several years, particularly for a Russian. There is no way around her having to interview at a foreign consulate, since the US no longer has a functional consulate in Russia.

    This case will get all kinds of scrutiny for marriage fraud. I predict it will take several years. You should have the US citizen make an account on Visa Journey. There is nothing "fast" about immigration, especially when you are from a very high fraud country.
  12. SalishSea
    I would be worried about having the I485 denied. Doesn't sound like you can afford to bring an immigrant to the US.
  13. SalishSea
    Immigration officers look at EVERYTHING. Do not imagine you will get away with any type of fraud or document tampering. The US consulate officers in your vague African country know all the tricks.
  14. SalishSea
    You were rightly denied entry because you were de facto trying to live in the US on a nonimmigrant status. Going forward, you should plan to use the entry privilege more like a proper tourist, for reasonable periods of time.
  15. SalishSea
    Just follow the petition instructions. It will be 20-25 years before any further documentation (such as DNA test) would be requested by consulate.

    VAWA isn’t just something you “do” just to get a GC. Jeez. there are criteria. You do not meet the criteria. This thread is teetering on TOS violations, I’m out. Will say that the best thing you can do for your kids is to do things completely legally.
  17. SalishSea
    She is not eligible to sponsor you for a GC because your marriage is no longer valid.
  18. SalishSea
    She needs to show strong ties to home. Being unemployed is a negative. They don't look at documents during the interview, as 100% of the info needed to make a decision is contained in the DS-160. You might be better off having your wife sponsor her when she becomes a citizen.
  19. SalishSea
    No, you were only able to adjust status through that marriage, and it was not her responsibility to inform you about getting an SSN. You will definitely need a family lawyer regarding your kids. That is not an immigration issue. So you have been here out of status for 7 years and you're just now looking into this?
  20. SalishSea
    Do you have an actual question? Because from what you've said, she is just waiting. No one here will be able to estimate how long she will need to wait to hear from the consulate.
  21. SalishSea
    No. He needs to get his tax filings up to date in order to sponsor an immigrant. Even if you get to the point of an interview, the case will be put into administrative processing until the requirements are met.
  22. SalishSea
    You don't have enough info for anyone to meaningfully answer this. I suggest the person in question comes and asks her own questions.
  23. SalishSea
    They may suspect (also as evidenced by your inquiry here) that you will not return to your country.
  24. SalishSea
    Unfortunately, no.
  25. SalishSea
    Are you from a high-risk.high-fraud country? There is a lot of vetting for B visas from certain countries due to some history. Or if you had travelled to certain a countries, it would also trigger scrutiny. Requesting additional info after a tourist visa interview is atypical.
