  1. It’s not that difficult. Are you using sources like TikTok for your info on immigration? If so, I strongly recommend that you use USCIS, the actual source. And, social security is completely separate from USCIS and immigration.
  2. “Who is responsible for informing aliens….”? YOU are 100% responsible for informing yourself. It’s part of adulting.
  3. Seems risky. Why doesn’t he just petition you?
  4. Of course it makes a difference. Being the spouse of a USC confers no immigrant benefit. She will be out of status and subject to deportation. Also, fees are about to go WAY up.
  5. Photos are not primary evidence for the required meeting, because they do not show a date. Boarding passes and passport stamps are best. Flight itineraries are not good, because they can be printed and then a trip not taken. No, you cannot “bring” your fiancé to the US while the visa process is underway. Does she have a B2 visa already? She can apply for that, unlikely to get.
  6. You are required to mention it (they know about it anyway)….
  7. Why even do a K-1 though? That’s what makes no sense.
  8. Your father (a USC/LPR, right?) lives in a congressional district and also has two U.S. senators from the state where he resides. Your father can reach out to them, and they can make an inquiry on his behalf at the U.S. consulate to try to get info about your case.
  9. Likely much longer overall, since it’s Pakistan.
  10. They are talking about Dublin, a POE/preclearance site for US CBP. Visas are processed and travelers are admitted prior to ever getting on the flight.
  11. I think the FOIA is essential, and probably a lawyer, too. Maybe @Boiler will arrive and weigh in on the waiver issue, but I would expect it to be difficult to obtain a waiver for a tourist visa to visit siblings.
  12. Sorry, “jokes” was a typo, and it’s too late to edit. I meant “holes.” You left some vital details out of your original post.
  13. Okay so zero percent of this was clear from your initial post. It's not our fault if we can’t understand a poorly-explained story with jokes in it. You were denied entry for immigrant intent. You will need to develop stronger ties do Canada if you want to be admitted to the U.S. With a history of illegal crossings (into either country), that will be challenging.
  14. So you crossed from the US into Canada illegally, and then tried to come back into the U.S., on what type of visa? What is your citizenship?
  15. “Insulted” you for crossing the border? What does that even mean? If you want meaningful feedback about your situation, you’ll have to try to explain it adequately.
  16. Anyone in the world? Probably. why post something so vague?
  17. I can’t speak to the laws of other countries, but the bottom line is that people visit the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas are not permitted to do any type of work (including online) without authorization.
  18. Anyway, all of this was explained to you in depth in your previous thread about it: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/812878-please-help-travelling-while-adjustment-of-status/#comment-10918339
  19. You entered on ESTA, then decided to marry and try to adjust status. They will rightly assume you’ll try to do the same thing, to avoid the queue. You could try for a B visa, but I don’t see that happening either, with your history.
  20. OP, have you read the guides? The petition processing time is only one part of the overall process.
  21. What do you mean? That affidavit isn’t a thing in the U.S. If that is a special requirement of the Chinese government, you should ask a mod to move your thread to the China forum.
  22. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  23. One year? Where are you getting that timeline? I believe the petition processing time for the I-129F is still 15 months, is it not?
  24. If you do a CR-1, there is no way to know which processing center the petition will go to, as it isn’t based on the petitioner’s state of residency. All immigrant visa interviews (as well as K-1) for Canada go through Montreal. Both K-1 and CR-1 processes will take up to two years start to finish.
