    You’re still on the hook for I-864, affidavit of support, that was filed alongside I-485. Divorce doesn’t absolve you of that responsibility.

    I think you are stretching the intent of the rule if you travel alone.  CBP could easily deny entry when they find out that your child lives in Europe.

    No photos aren’t required, but—-Hand your phone to somebody working there. Get a pic with the judge. Do the same outside the building. Go out for dinner and have a waiter snap a photo. It’s your wedding day, so commemorate it in some small way. You’ll have something to look back on and I’m sure your families would like a visual of the day.

    Zoeeeeeee got a reaction from Chancy in Tourist Visa from Philippines, Going to Mexico for a couple of weeks   
    I actually think you're not understanding the points that JeanneAdil is making, though I appreciate that her wording isn't as clear as it could be.
     
    In all honesty, I think you'll be fine doing the trip you're doing and that she'll have no problems getting back into the US. I did the exact same trip whilst visiting friends in the US (though I wasn't dating anyone in the US at that time and I'm from the UK - whilst is a much lower fraud risk than the Philippines. Both of those factors would have helped my ease in travelling.). 
     
    But still, I wouldn't worry about it and I would make the trip, in your shoes. I just wanted to flag that the advice you've been given is actually valid - I don't think it's a cause for concern, but it's factual.

    Just to expand on this, any re-entry after 30 days or less will still be subject to the original 6 month (assuming she gets full usual) time limit applying - so if her initial stay is example valid till 30 March, that remains the hard limit for subsequent re-entries. It is actually my impression that generally she would not have a problem re-entering the US on this basis as the original i94 time limit still applies.

    If she looks like she is trying to game the system (example flies somewhere non contiguous for a week and tries to come back) that problems could arise on entry. My understanding - though I cannot find anything explicit on this, because CBP only talks about 30 days or less-  is that more than 30 days in a contiguous territory  either (1) will be seen as a new B2/i94 entry, and that could also attract increased scrutiny or (2) they just won’t allow you re-entry.  CBP info page link https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-751?language=en_US

    Your GC was printed in error.  You should have filed an I-90 to correct it.  There is no such thing as backdating a GC to a date prior to filing AOS.  It's against US immigration law.

    Zoeeeeeee reacted to SusieQQQ in Covid Vaccine Exemption   
    Have not read all the responses but a sincere religious etc conviction would be against all vaccines, not just those against a particular virus. If you have had or will have other vaccines the argument becomes very difficult.
     
    And yes, if the exemption is not approved and you refuse to have it you are deemed class A -inadmissible.  https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/civil-surgeons/covid-19-technical-instructions.html
    “Applicant refuses a COVID-19 vaccine series in part or entirety
    If an applicant refuses one or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine series that is medically appropriate for the applicant, it should be documented that the vaccine requirements are not complete and that the applicant refuses vaccination. This applicant is Class A and is inadmissible to the United States.”

    Your choice:
    Disclosing it and providing the receipt of fine payment will not affect your citizenship. It's a minor offense not a major crime.
     
    Not disclosing it and having them say, "Btw we found you have this......?" will very likely affect it in a negative way for lying.

    This is the core issue you need to come to terms with, to make the difficult decision whether you really want to be with this man, move to the US to live and make a life together with him.  It sounds like his demands for moving forward with the spousal visa process are unreasonable, isn't that a big red flag that he is trying to control and manipulate you?  Are you prepared to be manipulated in this way just to get to the US?  Only you can make this decision, but you should be concerned about your own emotional well-being and happiness, not just the ability of your son to attend university in the US.  There are lots of good universities in other countries that your son could attend, and from the description of your career, you could move somewhere else without your husband, divorce him, and move on with your life.  So sorry you are going through all of this, but my suggestion is to ask him nicely, one more time, to move the spousal visa forward.  If he refuses, divorce him and be grateful you found out now, before you move to the US, that he is a bad person.  Good luck and stay strong!

    Zoeeeeeee reacted to SalishSea in Cousin Marriage on CR-1... Moving to Texas   
    Not the same at all.  Same sex marriages are legal in all 50 states due to the supreme court ruling.  There has not been anything like that for cousin marriages.
     
    A better argument would be: if cousin marriages are allowed, why not marriages between other close relatives?  Siblings?  Parent/child?
     
    And if you came here to argue about the laws, then you're barking up the wrong tree.  The laws are what they are.  If a person's culture dictates that they can or should marry a first cousin, and their eligibility to immigrate is based on that marriage, then they need to find a place to live where it is legal.  Full stop.

    Zoeeeeeee reacted to SusieQQQ in In USA, Girlfriend From Tunisia, Coming To USA For Work   
    That's a little extreme. Coming in on a tourist visa intending to adjust status is fraud. Coming in on a tourist or work visa to spend some time with someone to see how a relationship may develop, as long as the intention is to return home again at the end of the allowed stay period, is perfectly fine.
     
    You need fraudulent misrepresentation involved to get a lifetime ban. Nothing of the sort has been suggested anywhere in this thread.

    I see people recommending the K-1 and CR-1 routes, but I kind of get the impression that you are not ready to get married (correct me if I'm wrong). Have you ever met in person? How would you feel about getting married? You have to be married to apply for a CR-1, or intend to get married within 90 days after arrival for a K-1.
     
    This tells me that her family would not approve of the two of you getting married, which could be a big problem for the consulate she would be interviewing at.
     
    A work visa does not sound very likely. She can try her luck at the Diversity Visa. Or you can wait a few years, visit each other often (or you can visit her if she can't get a tourist visa), until you are ready to get married.

    getting married is considered a qualifying life event for health insurance by law, its documented here for California but i am pretty sure most states consider it the same. you should pull the relevant section of the law for the state you are in and send it to the HR. you will only have till 30 days after the marriage to make any changes to the health insurance

    I concur with the above if you are explaining your life to USCIS as oddly and badly as you are here, I’m not surprised they are suspect.
    USCIS does not care if your wife was impregnated by the milkman at her brothers house, while being filmed by pornhub. It isn’t a factor in this.
     
    Just tell the damn truth - it’s that simple.

    Zoeeeeeee reacted to mushroomspore in Bomb drop...in-laws want to immigrate to USA. HELP   
    My parents (more specifically,  my mother) has made "jokes" about me petitioning their immigration to the US after I become a citizen. It has never progressed to any serious discussion but nonetheless, it is a majorly hard-cold NO from me. You're an adult. You're allowed to say no. "No" is a full sentence. You're allowed to enforce whatever boundaries you have to with your in-law's for the sake of your mental health and that does not make you selfish. Trust me, I went through therapy for 1 year (as a full-grown adult in her 20's!) and it took me that long to untie myself from those feelings too; I felt like a bad person for wanting to say "no" to my strict/overbearing parents, even after I had moved away from Canada and to the US. But that said, since it's your wife's family, it's really on her to enforce the boundaries. If you want her to grasp how serious this could be for you guys, one idea would be to go together to an appointment with a lawyer and possibly even a marriage counselor to drive home into your wife's head how uncomfortable you are with this situation and how it would affect your marriage/lifestyle.
     
    Just wanna add....your wife would be able to petition her mother right away if your wife is now a citizen (which it looks like she is). But your wife's sister will be waiting, at minimum, 1 decade. Most likely longer.

    IRS clearly defines source income as the physical location the person is in while doing the work and sets very clear regulations about both billable work and passive income.
    If you want to enter the US and continue to work there are paths to do that.  K1 is not one of them.

    I moved here in November 2019 (also on a K1) - but because of covid, I've not worked and I've not really had time to make close friends. I had a good career in the UK and now feel anxious that I'll never get back into that industry here. My husband also works from home now and I realised that apart from speaking with my mum and sister each weekend, my husband is nearly the only person I've spoken to in months.

    Ask her these things, rather than wondering. This is the woman you're planning on marrying and spending the rest of your life with. Your future wife. You should feel comfortable asking how things are viewed in her culture - what she wants from you in terms of being a good husband - what you would like from her. If you both aren't ready to have that conversation, it suggests you may be moving a bit fast.

    Zoeeeeeee got a reaction from Adventine in What should I say for my wife's intended duration of stay for a tourist visa?   
    The length of time she puts on the visa application really isn't the important part of this equation...whether she says she wants to visit for 2 weeks or 2 months doesn't make her any less (or any more) of a risk in terms of not returning home - she could choose to do that even on a 1 day visit.
     
    What is important is showing ties to her home country, as many others have already said. But as she has no job, no property ownership or lease and has already shown immigration intent (the pending CR1 application)...then realistically, she has no ties. 
     
    By all means, apply...but be prepared that it's unlikely to be successful and will cost you money. Alternately, rather than wasting time and money, why don't you visit her instead? After all, you're going to need to evidence time spent together for her CR1 to be approved, so the more visits you can fit in, the better.
