    “They” don’t “expect” anything. Why did you choose to pursue a K-1, instead of the CR-1? We have all had to wait our turns in the queue. US immigration is a series of long waits for each steps. If you decide to marry, you’ll abandon the K-1. You can then start the CR-1 process if you want. What method of payment did you use? Was the check cashed/card charged? Did you correctly send your packet to the lockbox?

    Exactly . Coming in confidently incorrect, and asking VJ veterans offering CORRECT advise to not comment….. so tiresome.
  3. SalishSea
    In that case, why did you create this long, unnecessary thread and reprimand those of us trying to help by explaining how this works?
  4. SalishSea
    Time to remind you of the TOS for this site…… Also- why do you need to redo the medical? We didn’t. If you voluntarily deferred doing part of it (vaccines) then that’s on you.

    And fire the attorney for giving very bad advice. There is no way out of removing conditions, even if USCIS makes an error. You should have filed while the 1-90 was pending.
  6. SalishSea
    You most likely can’t.

    You don’t qualify for the visa. There is no appealing the decision, if that was your question.

    If she’s working remotely while in the US on a tourist visa, that is illegal, and could compromise her ability to get an immigrant visa or green card in the future!

    The “front-loading” for difficult consulates is done in case further evidence isn’t looked at at the interview, because the CO isn’t obligated to look at it. it would be helpful if you did a timeline or told us which consulate you’re going through. There is a yes/no check box on the form that pertains to criminal history. Therefore, no further info is required from you. Background checks on the USC will be pulled by USCIS and/or DOS to confirm. edit: just noticed that you did say in the OP it is Brazil! I’m not familiar enough with that consulate to know whether it is wise to front-load. You can get country-specific info by clicking on the portal.

    No, you don’t have “either option.” Either they are currently here, or they are not. They can’t enter with intent to adjust status- that’s immigration fraud. They have not paid into Medicare/social security, and will not be eligible for the benefits. As others have said, after five years they may be eligible to purchase Medicare benefits. Won’t be cheap.

    If so, you’ll receive a 221g, pending medical results. Probably smarter to just delay interview.

    In your other post, you’re asking about the petition. If you’re at the pre-petition stage, you don’t need to be worrying about W2s, as that’s 1-2 years from now.
  13. SalishSea
    You have just explained precisely why photos are NOT evidence of the one required meeting in the two years prior! Letters/affidavits are also nonsense; not required, or requested. Please download the instructions for the I-129F from USCIS.gov for reference.

    I think you’ll find that it takes longer than 15 years. His country of chargeability will still be India.

    You cannot expedite for pregnancy. Sure, you can ask- but don’t be surprised if they refuse. And HCMC is not an “easy” consulate.
  16. SalishSea
    It will be processed at California, unless you have certain AWA-related criminal history, in which case it will go to Vermont. The random assignment of other processing centers is for other petition types, not 129F.
  17. SalishSea
    The thing is, the “ongoing relationship” evidence isn’t required for K-1. The requirement is evidence of meeting once during the immediate prior two years, and evidence of both partners’ willingness (and eligibility) to marry each other within 90 days. That’s it. Feel free to send what you wish. For some high fraud/high risk consulates (Lagos, for example) it is beneficial to “front load” the petition with additional evidence of meetings, and ONE meeting (minimum requirement) might not be enough. But for low/average fraud locations, the requirements set by USCIS are usually adequate. YMMV.

    And yet, exchanging work related emails is NOT what happened in OP’s case. He clearly states she was working remotely full time for 5.5 months, living in the U.S. and supporting herself with that job. That is not the purview of the “business” function of a B-1 visa.
  19. SalishSea
    You do not know what you are talking about, bro. She still needs work authorization to work remotely for a foreign employer in the U.S. it isn’t about taking a job from a USC/LPR, it’s about WORKING while IN the U.S.
  20. SalishSea
    I suggest you rely on USCIS as a source for petition requirements, and not YouTube, WhatsApp, etc. We printed out the directions that accompany the petition and used that as our guide. Sending chat logs, affidavits, and other non-required info can raise questions, increasing your chance of an RFE, IMHO.
  21. SalishSea
    Why do you think you need letters from family and friends? Absolutely not needed or helpful.
  22. SalishSea
    "Business purposes" means attending a class or conference related to one's job or profession. It doesn't mean living in the US for 6 months and working remotely. So she told CBP she'd be working while here, and supporting herself that way? Since she just had one nonimmigrant visa denied for immigrant intent, I'd be very surprised if the B hadn't also been revoked. And yes, CBP has access to consular notes.
  23. SalishSea
    So she'd be happy to never return to Mexico again? Because that is kind of the deal with asylum.
  24. SalishSea
    Doesn't matter, she is still not allowed to work while in the US on a B visa. Unauthorized work is a quick way for her to get herself inadmissable to the US. And you can bet that with the F1 denial, CBP will be making notes on her long trips to the US.... She has violated the terms of the B visa, and it should rightly be revoked. If she wants to live and work in the US, she needs an immigrant visa. She's certainly taking a gamble on her future ability to get a visa.

    And it doesn’t mean it is being “processed online.” It will still be dispatched to one of the service centers (Nebraska, Potomac, Texas etc) to be put in the queue for adjudication.
