  1. You're quick to point out that you don't like VJ member responses and that we treat people like morons, but honestly......the fact that this was unclear is astonishing. I don't think Lemonslice was being sarcastic. It is a legitimate question.
  2. Having an arranged marriage does not change the burden of proof for the bonafides .
  3. That phrase as an update seems to be meaningless in terms of timelines, from what I’ve observed.
  4. Dude, it's been 5 months. Processing time for that FO is 7.5 months. Relax.
  5. That doesn’t negate other visa requirements, such as providing evidence of the dissolution of prior marriages.
  6. Right. My point was that even countries that have a systemic record of marriages (the U.S. does not), any marriage that takes place elsewhere and is not reported by the citizen, will not be part of that record.
  7. No. USCIS is only looking for the basic requirements to approve the petition (the one required visit). Anything else that was not included will have to be brought to the interview.
  8. A negative can’t be proven. This is why things like the Filipino CENOMAR are useless. People get married and divorced outside of their own countries all the time. Heck, with the advent of the Utah weddings, a Rwandan could marry, and their government would never know.
  9. This is the problem. Despite our explanations, OP hasn’t figured out that the issue isn’t the applicant’s marital status history; it’s the lies used in an attempt to get a visa, which now require a divorce decree for a marriage that never existed.
  10. How was my comment an “unnecessary bad feeling”? it was not clear from how you worded things that you realized, based on current processing times, that your petition has awhile before its adjudicated. We get a lot of new members who choose to do a K-1 without understanding current processing times. good luck.
  11. “Our month is approaching in the queue”? You’re < 5 months in, and the USCIS official processing time for I-129F is 15 months. It won’t be adjudicated anytime soon.
  12. I’d be surprised if USCIS doesn’t look into this case for fraud.
  13. That’s great news, Daisy! Please keep us in the loop. Sounds like he will be all set up to receive the best possible care.
  14. I have only heard of that making an impact for initial petitions, (such as I-129) when evidence was omitted. Haven’t seen it for AOS or ROC with new evidence. Normally evidence of events that occurred after the packet is sent would be submitted at the interview, if there is one.
  15. A “service”? Pro tip: always get your immigration info from the consulate website/USCIS/DOS.
  16. You met this person for the first time just a couple of months ago? You’re 24 and 22? I don’t get the urgency here. Why not spend more time together like one does in a normal relationship? Immigration aside, I’d give your chances of a lasting marriage at quite low in those circumstances.
  17. There really isn’t a way to submit evidence after filing. If your packet was well-prepared with high quality evidence, I wouldn’t worry about it.
  18. An expiring visa isn’t an exceptional circumstance, so no. Immigrant visas for the UK are all done via London.
  19. It doesn’t need to be from the same source. It needs to be from a U.S. source.
  20. Disabled vets don’t need to meet the same financial parameters as everyone else to sponsor immigrants?
  21. Since she won’t work, hopefully you understand that she won’t be eligible for social security, and when she becomes eligible for Medicare (after 5 years), it will be at the full cost. You’ll need to have a plan to cover her health care costs in the interim.
