    Never, ever lie to US immigration.

    The VJ search function is hit or miss, but if you are able to try it out, there are many examples and stories of couples who have successfully obtained spousal visas this way. Wish I could remember someone to tag here. Maybe another VJ member will tag someone.

    Not sure that PCCs from Pakistan are ever accepted by the DOS? They don't accept them at NVC. The extra efforts involved in satisfying the background checks for Pakistanis is what contributes to the extended APs.

    It is because of Pakistan's poor criminal record-keeping processes. Nothing you can do about it.

    Not possible. The EAD will not be approved if the I-485 is denied. You will need a joint sponsor.
  6. SalishSea
    Super interesting! Thanks for posting.
  7. SalishSea
    What is your plan for the I-864 adjustment of status in that case? If he/she cannot improve income or obtain a joint sponsor by then, expect it to be denied.

    If you have legal status in another country, you can request to be interviewed there. It will not be faster, particularly for Pakistanis, who often end up in protracted AP.

    There is zero expectation for fiances to have commingled finances, such as joint bank accounts. Photos as relationship evidence are secondary, and relationship evidence is not even asked for at the petition phase. Evidence of fulfilling the requirement to have met once in the two years prior is best met with boarding passes/passport stamps, etc.

    Sounds like the attorney lacks experience with this. In the years since the Utah online marriage became an option, I have not seen anyone post that it was problematic for US immigration, if done correctly, as you are planning. I think the only situation in which someone could run into trouble is if they file prior to the required visit.

    I'm confused - has the CR-1 been issued?
  12. SalishSea
    Right, and OP, if your GF tells CBP of this plan when she arrives, she will immediately be sent back on the next flight.

    Going forward with the other steps of the process, I recommend you own your own process and use VJ as a resource. This is what most of us here have done. No one cares as much about it as you do. We’ve seen countless delays and denials due to incompetencies.

    Does she have to go in person for a renewal? Many countries offer a renew by mail option (NZ, for example).
  15. SalishSea
    DV is very serious when it comes to K-1 visas. You will likely need an attorney at some point, yes.
  16. SalishSea
    I could see that timeline and lack of face to face time being an issue, yes. Not at the USCIS stage, but for the consulate.
  17. SalishSea
    The point that poster was trying to make was that visits and time spent in person (both directions), and documentation of such is important for marriage/relationship visas.
  18. SalishSea
    I'm telling you how it is seen by CBP. Take or leave the advice.
  19. SalishSea
    Why have you not put everything in both names? Being an authorized user is not the same as joint owner. It's a bit late now, but for others reading this: I recommend adding spouse to ALL household bills immediately when they first arrive.
  20. SalishSea
    Probably doesn't help that she didn't honor the timeframe she told CBP she'd be visiting. They do documents notes in the computer of what people seeking entry to the US tell them.
  21. SalishSea
    She is spending WAY too much time in the US, which is seen as abuse of the B2 visa; they think she is using the B2 to live here. And for good reason - not many can afford to take months and months at a time for vacation, without working. Treat it seriously. Have her stop abusing the B2. Last thing she needs is to be sent back on the very next flight, which is where you're headed.
  22. SalishSea
    No one here would have any way of knowing internal operations of particular consulates.
  23. SalishSea
    I have seen cancellations due to weather. I guess the best option is to try and check early on the morning of the oath ceremony?
  24. SalishSea
    If you’re trying to bring him as an immigrant to get a green card, there is no path for that.
  25. SalishSea
    In your other post, you say you were all born in the US?
