"1. You can work for 90 days on your K1 Visa under the contract in Israel (without being employed by our offices in California)"
Not without EAD........ It sounds like they want you to work without EAD and get paid via the Israel office.
This is not legal. After all, if you had an EAD then they could have you employed by their California office. -
Did her story change? In the first message you mentioned "with no visits to the embassy required"
However, she says something different in the message you posted from her.
I am also unclear of why she needs an agency to apply for a tourist visa. The paperwork isn't that difficult
Additionally, it is extremely doubtful she will be successful in getting a tourist visa, and she seems to be pushing for a meeting in the US, when there are quite a few OTHER places where she is more likely able to travel. If it's not a scam to get money for the "agency", and other stuff that pops up, then it is possibly a scam for her just to get into the US. -
Sure, she can visit the US, but tell her you want to meet her first in Ukraine or a 3rd country.
There is NO WAY she is going to get here without an in person interview in Kiev.
Additionally, even with the interview, it is also unlikely she will get a visa.
I suspect the scam is in the money request for the visa service company, then later it will be for travel expenses.
At some point either she, a friend, or a relative will need money do to illness or some other issue.
There are plenty of women in Ukraine that would be happy to meet you there or in another country where it is easier for them to travel.
I do not recommend you give them any money. Supply them with a non-refundable ticket to your meeting place, if that is what you want to do.

Why don't you telephone a CBP port (like Laredo, if you're closest to there) to ask what your realistic chances are? Their answer will settle your uncertainty.
I'd be concern they would lie to get me out of the country and stop me on the way back in.
I would not put faith in what any one agent tells you before you leave or on the way out. Another agent is the one who is going to make the decision on your way back

Guys if i have daca and i waa deported back then in 2005, Can i use advance parole?
Given the current situation, I recommend not leaving the country unless you are a citizen or green card holder.

You go home most weekends, right?
The requirement for this kind of N-400 filing is "married to and living with".. Staying away during the workweek or for temporary work assignments doesn't change where you reside. However, it might be worthwhile to get the advice from an immigration lawyer. We can give an opinion here, but unless we are lawyers, then I would question the answers to this question in a public forum like this -
Idiot lawyer
If married you can file jointly, even if your spouse is not in the US.
If there is no SS number, they file form W-7 at the same time as the joint 1040 is filed.
I would expect an immigration lawyer to know this.............
You can't undo what was sent for the visa. If asked about it, blame the stupid lawyer.Assuming married filing jointly is financially beneficial, an amended return should be filed.
I wish you well -

So my wife and I got married early in 2016. Next year I want to file MFJ for 2016's taxes, and to do that I need to get an ITIN for my wife. We are just beginning the I-130 process, so it will be a long while before she has a SSN.
We both live abroad in Kuwait, but there is a Philippine Embassy readily available. Would we be able to go to the Phil Embassy for them to certify a photocopy of it? I really hope so because otherwise our only option is to DHL her passport itself, and I do not trust the IRS not to lose it. =\
Does anyone have any experience with this?
I would just photocopy the passport.
You can possibly get it certified, but I know someone who did it with just the photocopy.
In any case, certifying it won't hurt.
You submit the W-7 when you send in your 1040.

#10 on page 5 of form I-130 asks "Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary?"
It is not a trick question. As you are the only one who has filed a petition, we assume..... the answer is "no", as you are not "anyone else"

"Thanks for all of the answers. It's a shame that a DCF isn't an option. I had read that couples filing abroad were (way back in 2007?) "
On the other hand, if things were like they were in 2007 you would not have been able to sponsor a same sex spouse or fiance.
So, for you it is better to be in 2017.

Hello,
When I sponsored my husband to the US we only presented an official translated marriage certificate from the country where we got married (Pakistan). Are we considered legally married then in the US? Need to know for possible divorce proceedings. Get divorced and move on. Hopefully he has a job and will not need money from you. However, I will point out the affidavit of support says you agree to support him until he becomes a citizen or has worked 40 qualifying quarters (10 years)
Yes, of course it is recognized in the US. If it was not recognized by the US he would not have been able to get a spousal immigration visa based on the marriage. You mentioned "10 year green card"... The card expires after 10 years, but not the status.

They need the birth certificate to show where you were born, so they can correct your passport
Maybe it is just a standard requirement for them to ask for.
You should send a copy of the birth certificate AND a copy of your naturalization certificate to avoid confusion -
If there is a delay, in your mind, why not contact USCIS first, BEFORE contacting a Senator, etc?

I was able to check from Russia, however it might have been due to using a proxy DNS server (It's how I view program episodes on network tv websites)

That's odd - Today the VJ site says August 24
How up to date is that?
The USCIS info shows on Jan 31 they were doing August 9
So, VJ shows a date 15 days later, but what is the report date for that August 24 date?
How many days did it take to move the marker 15 days? -

Was checking the processing date on VJ and found that NSC is servicing I-130 dated Aug 29 now. However, the date on USCIS website is Aug 9. Can this be a mess up on USCIS's part?

in the link above under processing times, it shows Nebraska is processing applications with a NOA1 date of August 2, 2016. My wife and I have a date od December 2, 2016. It looks as if Nebraska has slowed down for some reason?
Good luck to you
When looking at the info on the USCIS website, it is important to see the date of the report. For example, today it shows " Field Office Processing Dates for Nebraska Service Center as of: December 31, 2016 " and as of that date, it shows they were processing cases from August 2, so just under 5 months.
It looks like the page is only updated once every 3 months and it takes over a month or more for the website to update. I also question why other service centers show different dates depending on the beneficiary status (child over 21, spouse, etc), but the Nebraska data shows all of the dates as August 2 for all of the I-130 categories.

Nope, no gray area. it is illegal to work in the US if you do not have EAD or a visa permitting work, no matter who is paying you.
The low chance of the government not finding out is not the same as it being legal.
For example, on a B1 - you can do only
