Not needed.

The 2 year J-1 residency waiver is not forgiven however, without an approved waiver.

You sound desperate to get to the US. Why is that?

This is the correct answer.

They will not remove vaccine requirements. The US doesn't want or need another pandemic. Like others have said, a waiver may be available, but will add time to your case. If you have had other vaccines but are objecting to the Covid one on "moral" grounds, expect a denial.

Did not know this was allowed.

The bonafides are not something to dismiss, OP. Your relationship will be scrutinized. Green card marriage fraud is common, so relationships are vetted, even more so depending on what country he is from. You are getting excellent advice from veteran Visa Journey members, and it has been the experience of MANY here that marrying on the first in-person visit, filing immediately, and having minimal time spent together before the interview will not bode well for you. The financial aspect is important, yes, but no more so than other components to the totality of your application. Also- Montreal is the only option for where he will eventually interview.

Maybe I am wrong, but I get the feeling OP has not yet met her fiancé in person.

The problem with that is that you can’t both house someone and use the money from a sale to support them. I know it sucks, but I see no way around the requirement for you to have an adequate income. But again, who knows what your life will be like two years from now? And you have time to plan for it all.

NOA2 is simply a receipt notice. Petition approval and visa availability are not connected for the family preference ceremonies.

Yes, that is what it means. Transfers can occur anytime, and they don’t always notify applicants.

I get that, but in every divorce I’ve ever heard of, both parties are notified of the final dissolution, and generally there are final signatures gathered, etc.

You cannot use the home you live in to provide financial support for an immigrant. You will absolutely need a joint sponsor (or ideally, an adequate salary) in order to petition him. The process can take up to two years once the petition is filed, so you’ll have plenty of time to plan for that. In terms of not having money/time to spend time together in person, unfortunately that won’t fly for immigration. Depending on his citizenship, I’d strongly advise you to delay filing until after you’ve spent time in person, if you intend to marry on the first visit. Online time “knowing” someone doesn’t count. But again, due to the length of time before a visa would be issued, you would have plenty of time to work on the marriage bonafides. What is his country of origin? Sorry to hear of all you’re going through. I know how hard it is to be a caregiver for someone you love. Please take care of yourself.

Your fiancée is your sponsor, and so he/she needs to complete the form. Follow the instructions on how she is to provide evidence of her current income.

You’re aware that the deadline for filing 2023 taxes is in 4 days, right?

I don’t understand how a person can be divorced by someone and not realize it. There are signatures required, even for simple divorces. And it wasn’t like it was a divorce done in absentia for someone who could not be located. There must be more to this story. One wonders about the future of a marriage where this has occurred. And from an immigration perspective, OP you need a good immigration lawyer like yesterday. This is well above free internet pay grade.

@pushbrk

It is atypical, and must be consulate-specific. If they’re asking for that, there is no way around it.

Isn’t pertussis the “P” in the DIP combo vaccine? If he’s had that, he should be fine.

Interesting. I’ve wondered in the past if this was a fraud strategy, since, like VAWA, the U is a much abused route to GC.

The consulate would be involved if his naturalization was in question, as it pertains to the eligibility for other IR visas.

Well known Nigerian scam. Scammer obtains falsified documents, married American, divorces and then brings over original wife and family.

That may be, but the OP originally stated that one of the two: DTaP or TDaP contains polio, which is incorrect.

DTaP and TDaP both include pertussis, not polio.

Neither TDaP nor DTaP contain pertussis, which is what the OP stated. OP, no one is being toxic. You were factually incorrect.
