You are not waiting for the I-130 though. It has been approved. K3 would immediately be denied as it is something you submit when I-130 is still pending.

You need a reason for expedite. Usually it is hardship to the US citizen... If you have no reason for expedite you will have to wait. The time at NVC fluctuates from just under a month to 3 months. No one can tell you how long it will be after you submit your documentation. Currently timeline for DQ to interview for Bangladesh doesn't appear to be that long based on visajourney member timelines Ignore the first timeline as that member interviewed in the UK.

As you are self employed you might need to change the way you do taxes so you make more on paper... or you should pursue a W2 job as income is calculated by paystubs not taxes from the previous year. The financial requirements for I-129F are not as high as the financial requirements for adjustment of status. But, to be safe I would make sure you meet the requirements for the I864 when you complete the I134. If you were to submit the affidavit of support right now you would need to be making $31,075 a year or have at least $93,225 in savings. - this amount will increase by the time your partner's K1 petition is approved and she attends her interview. If you are unable to increase the amount you make on paper- you need to find a joint sponsor to sponsor both your fiance and her child.

I think I had over 10 attempts to get all the addresses saved with the ability to move to the next page. If I had seen this sooner, I would have suggested you write one or two addresses spanning the time period required then go back and slowly add her other addresses. It is a common issue for people who have lived in more than 2 or 3 homes from 16+

We don't know the situation. Does the sponsor live in the US or UK? What type of work does the USC do? Best practice would be to read reviews of London Embassy to see what was requested. If your situation is similar to the reviewer and you have the same documents bring them in addition to the documents you uploaded to NVC.

You don’t plan for anything… that is the drawback of adjusting status. The petitioner and beneficiary believe being inside the US and together is more important than the beneficiary working(inside or outside the US) and/or being able to travel (outside the US).

address 1 2018-2019 US address 2019-2020 address 1 2020-present it is not that odd… I did something similar with my addresses for my visa application. People leave home for college or a short term job then move back to their parent’s house or a family home…

Are you sure it will only be a year? You might want to consider having your wife stay in the US after you leave, apply for i131 receipt and do biometrics and then join you… should only take 1-2 months. If that isn’t an option have your wife return to the Us In 2-3 months to apply (but not sure of her due date)… if none of those options are possible your wife can give up her residence and you can reapply when you are ready to move back to the US… iwannaplay54 has done this before. As long as you can sponsor your spouse or obtain a joint sponsor you can move back to the US… (you will have to show you can support a family of 5- you, your wife and the three children)

Do it at the same time… you don’t have to delay the request or submitting the ds260 or AOS

This was @Chancy’s post not mine… but I have seen mention of interviews at Naha… you can submit all the documents to NVC now but request a transfer at the same time… so please update us on the outcome as this will help others in the future

Best practice for NVC (imo) if they request something and you don’t have it- upload a letter explaining the situation Even when there is an indication about how something is not available… I’ve seen some members have issues because they follow the instructions but the reviewer clearly hasn’t… So, I would upload a letter explaining PCC is not available but you received the CNCC in its place… (for Jordan police check section)

Write a letter explaining the situation (no paperwork exists). Hopefully that will suffice at NVC stage. Then see if you can get something from Jordan stating the same for the interview. Does she have any deportation orders or paperwork showing how the issue was resolved? I might also upload the CNCC as part of the court/prison records statement.

Even babies who are 1 or 2 years old have been issued a DS-5535. I'm not sure what triggers the flag. You won't ever get an answer. Hopefully the process won't be too long and you don't have to file a WOM.

After reading your stokes interview post I'm guessing 1.) You could have been chosen for stokes because the IO wanted some practice 2.) The IO recognized your husband from the photos and didn't remember quite why... so decided to conduct a stokes interview 3.) random selection for stokes interview. I can understand your anxiety over the next interview. But, the way you write is extremely clear and coherent. And it sounds like your relationship is solid. I don't think you need a lawyer. And I think any questions they ask you, you can answer in your sleep. Good luck!

From this information it appears she can only interview in Tokyo… click the link… From Tokyo/Naha to another U.S. Embassy/Consulate If you wish to have your immigrant/fiancée visa file transferred from Tokyo/Naha to another U.S. Embassy/Consulate, please contact the appropriate U.S. Embassy/Consulate directly in the country where you wish to apply and follow their instructions for case transfer. Please click here for the full list of all U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas.

People can’t just “drop in” and visit the embassy or consulate… you need to make an appointment. Others have tried this before and been denied… do you know for a fact OP’s wife will be allowed to interact with the visa officers? to me this seems like a bad idea. best idea would be to write the immigrant visa department for information…

If that is the situation… @Akin Michael I suggest 1.) Your wife move up her upcoming trip to Nigeria and MOVE there for the rest of the year maybe longer… is she able to work remotely? Take a leave of absence from her job? 2.) Get a joint sponsor You are going to need a lot of face time together to show you are a real couple. Your wife should be in your home in Nigeria if and when someone from the fraud unit visits. This could be anytime from this month to the end of the year to 10 months time…

When did she go to Sierra Leone? How long was she there?

Nigeria has a very long queue before interview. What years did she visit? when was the last time you saw her?

Thank you for clarifying @African Zealot! If she decided to visit her home country and the house she is building instead of seeing her husband perhaps that raised a few eyebrows… I will not conjecture any further. Best for @Akin Michael to see his wife as often as he can… the only thing they can do now (visa wise) is wait for more information from the consulate.

According to your timeline, you received the K1 visa and the interview was May 2023. Where is your partner now? Do you want to abandon the the K1 and adjustment of status or does your partner need to remain in Malaysia for some reason?

When was the last time you saw your wife? You cannot do anything about the visa until you get some communication from the consulate or fraud unit. You need to continue your relationship. Your wife should visit you or you should meet in a third country. You should write down all the questions the CO asked you so you don't forget- this can help you figure out if they are planning to deny you based on your answers. You both should also research the possibility of her moving to Nigeria or moving together to a third country.

Going to Sierra Leone for a building project is not going on vacation... I can see how the CO might think you don't know your wife very well. Fraud case investigations out of Nigeria don't have a set timeline. But, this poster's husband interviewed in January 2021. A few months later he had a home visit (Nigeria) and then sometime after that he had to get another medical but he was ultimately given a visa. So, if it follows a similar timeline something might happen 9-10 months after the interview.

You’ll probably be waiting for 10 yr GC for quite a few months unless you receive an RFE if you have no marital evidence from the first year(you have no evidence you were living with your partner?) … you’ll probably have to file for citizenship under the 5 year rule. You should make sure you file for the first year you were a resident as that part of the requirements of filing for citizenship. Make sure to amend your wife’s taxes and re-file MFJ.
