    Make sure she realizes that in this situation, there will be no path for her to adjust status while visiting. The sibling category is numerically limited, and her wait time will be around 25 years.
  2. SalishSea
    They will not expedite for the benefit of an illegal alien.

    You will want to apply for EAD/AP though. Aside from the work/driving issue, you would need AP if you need to travel home for an emergency (and return without abandoning your AOS). AOS can take >one year.

    If it looks like you’re already married, then yes. Married people are not eligible for K-1s.
  5. SalishSea
    If you mean Oct of 2024, no chance.

    A visa will not be available until he is well into his 40s.
  7. SalishSea
    I'm no expert, but I would think that would have been offered, if it was an option.
  8. SalishSea
    Incorrect. There is no way they could ever adjust status within the US. They'd have to be in status for like 25 years.
  9. SalishSea
    In this case, the very best evidence of not having immigrant intent would have been to not previously overstay.

    See Carmel's comment for a clear explanation of the reason.
  11. SalishSea
    No 'inconvenience.' Just kind of surprising. Good luck with your journey.
  12. SalishSea
    You should just petition her. I don't see her getting a B visa after overstaying the ESTA.
  13. SalishSea
    Except it sounds like they've not met in person, so they're not eligible for a K-1 until after that happens.
  14. SalishSea
    They both will take a couple of years. Have you met in person? OP: this is nonsense.
  15. SalishSea
    Did you not do any research into the details of the K-1 before choosing to do one?
  16. SalishSea
    Maybe you have a claim to Australian citizenship?
  17. SalishSea
    Are you maybe mixing up petition approval with visa availability?
  18. SalishSea
    You can’t adjust status based on marriage. You have to leave and be petitioned for a spousal visa if you want a green card.
  19. SalishSea
    100% nope.
  20. SalishSea
    Very unlikely OP would ever get another B2, after this debacle.
  21. SalishSea
    Marriage license is not the same as legally married. If you didn’t get legally married in 2023, you can’t file as married for that tax year.
  22. SalishSea
    What does "registered" your marriage mean?
  23. SalishSea
    Yes, it would be a separate process. How far into the K-1 are you?

    The embassy will do their own background checks, and they will find the records. NVC doesn't accept Pakistani police records. 3 years age difference is minimal. The bigger issue he has is being a young Pakistani male with a criminal history. You could end up in AP for quite awhile (there is no way to know, but good to prepare for the possibility).

    Check out the Utah Zoom wedding. Lots of VJ members have done it, with no issues later petitioning their spouses. It would require you to meet in person before she files the petition, but the (huge) upside is that you will have a green card upon entry, can work immediately, and travel internationally (both of those don't happen without special documents during AOS). The petition processing time for the spousal visa is about the same as for the fiance.
