I was worried about the I-751 since I have been told how important co-mingled finances are - we do not have that as in at all. There are several reasons for that but mostly because we are both over 50 with children in both countries so what is in US is his and what is in Denmark is mine. There is one exception and that is health insurance since I do not work.
 
I asked my husbands daughter, our neighbor and the chairman of the local water district - I am a member on the board - if they would be kind enough to write a letter to the USCIS and explain that we are indeed married and living together for better or worse. They did. I did not include any explanation as to why we do not share bank accounts etc, since I planned to explain that at the interview.
 
I have only had one issue with the extension letter for 48 months and that was arriving in Minneapolis, where some guy obviously had a bad day and send me off to be further interviewed without him even looking at the letter. I missed my connecting flight but was only asked if I had any meat with me.
 
When I received the RFE I assumed it to be about the "lack" of sharing but it was to inform me that I had not included an explanation as to why I filed 7 days late. I answered that I thought I just had to mail it before the card expired - I know now that it has to be "received" by them before that date. Actually it was there on the day my card expired but it took a week for them to process it.
 
On March 11th 2024 I send my reply to the RFE and today I checked to see if it was received. It was on the 15th, new card was ordered on the 19th and case was approved on the 20th. Guess I'm good for another 10 years - I will apply for citizenship at some point in the near future though.

Congratulations! Just goes to show that every case is different and there is no one-size-fits-all approach!

Wait...what? This is just I-751? What did you put in there? 😳

I said that to my husband the other day. He replied, "I don't think the left hand even knows what the left hand is doing."

Needless to say, it's time to abolish the ROC process. 

Was this scammer suppose to be a Nigerian lawyer?
just to let u  all know 
a Nigerian lawyer, even if legit, can't help a US visa case 
 
I ask as u say  " People scam people everyday to them that's not a major crime"
 
it is a crime here and a police report should be done -no matter which country this person is in
 
For Nigeria the country is trying to cut down on scammers:
 
How do I file a complaint against a scammer in Nigeria?   scam @ efccnigeria.org & info @ efccnigeria.org or the Nigerian Police Force with website at www.nigeriapolice.org and email webmaster @ nigeriapolice.org are the appropriate authorities mandated by the Federal Government of Nigeria, to deal with such issues. You may forward your e-mail to them for prompt action.

I would still suggest making a police report and giving them all the info you have on the person. Having a report made can potentially help with getting your money back from the back if they give you any problems. Some banks can be difficult about money that someone has willingly sent to someone, even if it turned out to be a scam. $1500 is not a small amount of money - enough to be charged a felony. And there's always a chance it actually helps stop this person from scamming someone else. 

I don't really want to get into a debate about why it is or isn't safe there -- but, the prospect of a foreign invasion to Russia is certainly not what I think of as the reason for her not being safe. There is, again, a rumor that martial law will be enacted this Friday. Unfortunately, all flights are sold out. I strongly regret letting her return to the country. (But, fate is fate)

There is widespread panic right now in Russia, the currency is becoming increasingly unusable and worthless, and there is a widespread sentiment against the government. And you have to think about who is in charge there, no? That's a recipe for disaster.

Is there a reason why she cant come to Cebu to meet where the poison spike isn't required? I would suggest holding off on experimental drugs unless zero choice.

Hello, 
I'm glad y'all got out safe just as we did.
We had planned to submit CR-1 after our marriage planned that still happened on 26/02/2022. Luckily, I was in contact with Department of State and they told me to leave and to get a visa in a neighboring country, preferably Poland. So we got the tourist visa and we are traveling back to USA as we speak. You need to submit for expedited paperwork for your k1 visa so that the embassy can get it and you do the interview there. 
 
Hopefully this helps and I hope all her family and friends are safe. 

***** several bickering off topic posts removed.  Answer the Op's question constructively or do not post ******

No one asked for opinions about the vaccine. 

Why wouldnt you? Their public policy tells their agents not to deny visa for lack of vaccines and to follow the policies stated therein.

Thank you for your time, I am doing research to figure out a way. I am from London so I will be taking the medical and interview over here. It's all just confusing, when I got the letter from the London embassy it told us to follow the instructions from this link - https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/medical-examination/
 
However, I've been checking everyday and it has not said anything about having to take any vaccinations if you do not want to right now. It does state that you would have to though when applying for AOS, Which I'm fine with because that buys me some time. However, reading everything online makes it seem like there aren't ways, which is not true. No one should be forced to put anything into their body if they do not want it, we have rights. 

Make sure to verify what your LOCAL CONSULATE requires for the visa. There is contradicting information EVERYWHERE. For example, our embassy does not REQUIRE any vaccines to issue a k1 visa. It states this both on the embassy page and the medical website. You can DM me and I can show you. There is also an option where the doctor will fill in, "Person will be applying for exemption." Don't feel forced to do something that you do not want to do. That is so un-American. You DO HAVE CHOICES. Now, will we have to vaccinate for AOS, technically yes BUT at this stage you can apply for an exemption, religious/moral exemption. This costs an extra $930. IF USCIS accepts the exemption, based on some damn good proof/evidence that you are doing this for religious/moral convictions, then you do NOT have to get it.. Research. You HAVE CHOICES. Don't let anyone bully you into doing something you're against.

Thanks to everyone for their responses, I was just curious about the whole situation to be honest, as I do not want to get the vaccine.
 
What if you file for a waiver after November? & it is then granted, I’m sure it will be fine to go to the medical & also travel. I think right now the waiver is the only option I can see.

I can give you another reason. Because some countries this adds another 2 month wait for people already waiting almost two years. In some cases you can’t even find the second dose for the vaccine you have for months. Additionally the vaccines available are absolute trash and show little effect against new covid strains unless you can get an rna one which are hard to find.
 
 
In the US they could just make a thing you have to do before you adjust status. But no. More stress and pain for people who have already gone through so much showing just how little the government cares about both its current and future citizens.

I suspect that if USCIS did everything they were meant to and didn't do things they shouldn't, 2/3 of VJ's forum traffic would vanish overnight.
