  1. And also OP- ultimately, your husband is 100% responsible for the content of what he submits.
  2. Exactly. And with the type of salary she would be able to earn (assuming she would work in housekeeping/ home health aid/retail), the social security earnings would not be enough to live on.
  3. No. They are third party apps.
  4. You need a plan B, as in moving to his country. I think him getting an immigrant visa is unlikely.
  5. You'll want to research this very, very carefully. She will not be eligible for any type of Medicare or social security, and you will be signing a document agreeing that she will not try to get means-tested benefits. Health care premiums will cost you several thousands of dollars per month.
  6. You misunderstand. For US immigration purposes, only legal marriage counts.
  7. The length of time for petition approval is not relevant in this case. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin.
  8. Sounds like she entered on her B2 planning to adjust? That’s fraud, and fortunately no visa number is available to her. As a green card holder yourself, you’ll want to be very careful about committing immigration fraud.
  9. Like Boiler said, the OP chose to adjust from B/ESTA, and had feedback on the drawbacks on previous thread. That being said: OP, hopefully you see how concerning it is to be starting out your marriage amid food insecurity. Access to food within your household is NOT a normal issue to be dealing with in a marriage, and like everyone else is telling you, the solution starts with communication with your spouse.
  10. What will have changed to strengthen her ties to home? It’s your $$ to lose, the consulate doesn’t care.
  11. Yes, well many countries don’t even have pathways for siblings to immigrate…
  12. How do you plan to support an immigrant during the time when they’re not authorized to work? How will you pay for their health care?
  13. No such “introductory letter” is necessary. You might get an RFE for clarification. This just shows why sending unnecessary fluff complicated things.
  14. If the denial was because of not enough time spent in person, you will need to fix that before applying again, even with a spouse visa. There is a lot of fraud out of India.
  15. Did you make a copy of the form before you submitted it to USCIS?
  16. Why? Most here did DIY. There may be immigrant assistance type resources in your community who could help you with understanding the forms, but I doubt you’ll get a lawyer to do it for free.
  17. Nothing has changed. There are no derivatives for spouses of USCs. K1/K3 doesn’t apply. Please refer to USCIS.gov for your info- you’ll be much better off.
  18. You will be fine. The 125%/I-865 comes into play much later in the K-1 process (probably >one year from now).
  19. The SS card of an LPR with a 10 year GC looks no different than the SS card of a citizen - there is no need to get new cards.
  20. In that case, I think you'll be just fine. Are you currently working? Even if your income was temporarily lower last year due to medical/time off, current income (as evidenced by payslips) will be more important than last year's tax return info. I get the feeling that Manila is pretty lenient as well.
  21. This also is not true. Cutting it so close can lead to a denial, as it is based on the "totality of circumstances." There are many other parameters that the adjudicator can consider, such as age (as it relates to income/earning potential), whether you live in a high COL area, what consulate you are going through, etc.
  22. What does it say on the MC? I'd stick to however the state of Utah lists it in terms of location, and if the MC doesn't refer to Zoom, I wouldn't.
