    No, you seem to be very confused about the process.
  2. SalishSea
    If you overstayed the time allowed on your I-94, and were subsequently denied admission, I don’t see how you could possibly be readmitted without formally applying for a B visa at a U.S. consulate? Overstays are not treated differently for Canadians.
  3. SalishSea
    You absolutely are not eligible for DCF (or regular consular processing for a CR-1 visa) without a legal marriage and a certified copy of the marriage certificate.

    Only US citizens may petition fiances for K-1 visas. And she can visit on a B-2, but she won’t be able to stay and adjust status. Not only is it fraud, but there is no visa available in that category even if she was already in the U.S. There is no way for you to circumvent the wait times. Did you not research any of this when you decided to pursue a green card???

    As has been mentioned in this thread, you will not receive work authorization or be able to return to Canada for up to 8 months if you stay to adjust status. I can't imagine that would be possible in your situation, with a GF who has no income. Most people cannot afford to not work for 8 months.

    Hmm, I don't think that is the case. For international adoptions, that is true, but this is your stepchild and a current court order/documentation of your husband having custody should be sufficient.
  7. SalishSea
    No. Have the beneficiary bring additional evidence to the interview, but don’t be surprised if it is not taken into consideration.
  8. SalishSea
    I think the USC should just move there. Yes, you could try for a CR-1, but it will be at a great cost of time and money.

    I think she means that if she went to the U.S. without her family, her husband would have to be the primary caregiver to the kids as well as working.

    K3/4 are obsolete.

    I would try again for an expedite, using the “financial loss” reason, as it certainly applies in this situation, with a job offer at stake. In your request, you could mention the job timeline, and if he is the sole income earner for your family, state that as well.

    Still in effect for immigrant visas.

    He’s not eligible for a K-4, it will be an IR-2. ”asap” doesn’t exist in the world of US immigration, so he should have realistic expectations of it taking a year or two. I can’t imagine that the mother would be required (or even allowed) to accompany him to an interview in the U.S. embassy. Your husband may want to fly down for it. Your stepson may be 18 by the time he gets to interview. K-2 FTJ is in effect for only one year.

    Sounds good! We only sent quarterly bank statements. We also sent quarterly joint bills, like utilities, phone, Internet etc.
  15. SalishSea
    Much longer than what? Getting a green card via the K-1 process takes much, much longer. Please do some reading about the K-1 and adjustment of status. Also, you have t really responded re: working in the U.S. illegally. That could create problems later on for you.
  16. SalishSea
    Be aware that working in the US (yes, even remotely) without work authorization is not legal, and could well compromise your ability to get an immigrant visa/green card.
  17. SalishSea
    They may assume you’re working illegally in the U.S.
  18. SalishSea
    Have you read any of this thread?
  19. SalishSea
    Nope, that is immigration fraud. The USC needs to petition you for either a CR-1 or K-1. I suggest you ask your partner to begin researching the process. You both need to understand how it works.
  20. SalishSea
    You need to read up on domicile. It is a big deal for certain consulates.
  21. SalishSea
    Available in Venezuela?
  22. SalishSea
    Exactly. "Exceptional circumstances" doesn't include not wanting to wait for normal consular processing. There is no such urgency to this situation. They are young, not even married yet, petitioner is an au pair, and they don't even live in the same country.
  23. SalishSea
    I don't see DCF happening in this situation.
  24. SalishSea
    Good point. OP, a quick glance at Wikipedia makes it pretty clear that cousin marriages that take place in states other than Mississippi are void, which means you'll have zero chance at a visa. You may want to revisit your overall plan. Do you have your heart set on living in the US? Pakistan is fraught with a myriad of problems for US immigration already, adding a marriage that is widely illegal in the US will not help your case. In your case, it might be easier for you to live in Pakistan.

    Here is an example an appeal in a similar situation. It can be tricky, so you will want a competent immigration lawyer who has dealt with cousin marriage. Unfortunately, there isn’t any way to know this case was ultimately resolved. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/D6 - Fiancees and Fiances of U.S. Citizen (K-1)/Decisions_Issued_in_2021/JUN092021_01D6101.pdf
