    Graphic design, among H1b workers in tech hubs like where I live, would be the exception.

    You have to meet in person at least once in the preceding two years. You are not eligible for a K-1, and we’re rightly denied. This is a non-negotiable requirement and is no way a ‘soft denial.’ Refile, or marry and start the CR-1 process.

    She is your petitioner, and your sponsor. You can have a qualified joint sponsor, but your wife is the sponsor. She will want to read up on domicile requirements. Also, if she has a job offer in the US, she may be able to request DCF via the London consulate.

    We are all on the edge of our seats to know whether your GC intercept mission is successful, OldUser!

    Especially since any anti-seizure meds would be available in both countries.
  6. SalishSea
    This is not correct.

    Why does your profile say CR/IR-1 if you are pursuing a K1?

    DCF is only applicable when the USC petitioner resides with the beneficiary abroad. Several years ago, the international USCIS offices were all closed, so now DCF is only available with "exceptional circumstances," i.e. an immediate job transfer or offer for the USC in the US. Your situation is not this.

    I don't think you're understanding the visa bulletin correctly. Petition approval and visa availability are DECADES apart.
  10. SalishSea
    Yes, she MUST disclose that.

    You are not eligible for a spousal visa. They will see immediately that it is not a legitimate marriage.
  12. SalishSea
    Wife needs to move to your country. You still may never get an immigrant visa.
  13. SalishSea
    You are dispensing incorrect information. The OP has a petition filed with USCIS and is NOT eligible for DCF, even under exceptional circumstances.
  14. SalishSea
    No, it needs to be a specific job. By all means, feel free to search online for jobs. it is very expensive and complicated for companies to sponsor work visas, so in general they only do it for positions they can’t fill with Americans or current green card holders.
  15. SalishSea
    Work visas are limited to certain types of jobs that are hard to fill in the US. Graphic design is not one of them. Student visa might work if you have the funds to pay for it, but that is a nonimmigrant visa, and it might be hard to get with a U.S. boyfriend. You can always try.
  16. SalishSea
    Unfortunately, graphic design jobs are very unlikely to be ones which an employer would be willing to petition you for.

    USC= US citizen VJ= Visa Journey (this website). I do not see a path to an immigrant visa, let alone citizenship, through anything but marriage for you.

    I don’t think it will be a problem. Paging @Redro. She is supposed to obtain a police report for countries she’s resides in for >6 months.
  19. SalishSea
    You have not seen your wife in 5 years??
  20. SalishSea
    You cannot use the ESTA to “live” in the US. Entering in an ESTA with intention to stay and adjust status HS 100% fraud. You say ‘partner’. - are you married? By far the easiest legal way for you would be via the fiancé or spouse visas. I suggest the USC should join VJ and start learning about the process. it’s not cheap, or fast.
  21. SalishSea
    AP/background checks can happen at any time during the process, although this is atypical for K-1s.
  22. SalishSea
    Does everyone involved understand how long it will actually take?
  23. SalishSea
    Totally agree.
  24. SalishSea
    I-129F is only processed in California. Average processing time (I looked it up today) is 16.5 months.
  25. SalishSea
    OP is not eligible for DCF even with special circumstances, as they already filed the I-130 with USCIS.
