    I understand, but the marriage will happen in the US, where it is legal and the staff at the Embassy will treat it accordingly
  2. Daphne .
    Process will be exactly the same as for straight couples. Find a country you can get married in, or have you already filed the K1?
  3. Daphne .
    There is no official timeframe and also no benefit to waiting. Do it as soon as you have the marriage certificate.

    Time to put on your big boy/girl pants and take control of your life! I know it’s easier said than done and there might be some cultural things happening here but again, you are an adult. Get a new job, see if you can crash at a friend’s house until you find a room, etc. If your partner is financially stable enough, they can also support you for the time being.

    OP can try to visit using their Esta, but that’s about it.. They won’t be able to ‘stay’ until the I-129f is approved.

    Continue looking for another job to become financially independent enough to be able to move out of your parents’ house. That will at least give some relief during the wait. I understand how difficult it is to be caught in the middle (your parents disapproving of your relationship) but at the end of the day you are an adult and this is your choice. They are very likely afraid of losing you, you are planning to move to a new country. They might just be showing it in a very unpleasant way. There is no way to be able to live in the US until your K1 is approved, so focus on improving your situation during the wait.

    UP TO 6 months per entry, but that is not a guarantee and also doesn’t mean that somebody can stay for 6 months, leave and come back for another 6 months.

    Did you already know her before she entered the US? When did you meet her? Even if you met her the day she entered the US, discussing marriage (especially in her circumstances) seems VERY hasty..

    Don’t do any of this, not a good plan!
  10. Daphne .
    That sounds like a solid plan.

    No need to send those phone statements/bills, that is absolute overkill. And for the bank statements, just send in one for each quarter of the last couple of years, USCIS will get the idea.
  12. Daphne .
    They can try to visit but it will always be up to CBP’s discretion to be admitted.
  13. Daphne .
    But the reviewing processing insn’t done yet. Your case is still processing. I think you are confusing your timeline entries here on Visajourney with your case status.
  14. Daphne .
    No, this will all be done for them once the NVC has processed their case and it moves to the embassy.
  15. Daphne .
    Yikes, maybe the K1 wasn’t the best option in her situation.. She can’t leave the US during the adjustment of status process until she has authorization (approved I-131 or I-485). If she leaves without it, you’ll have to start from scratch with a spousal visa.
  16. Daphne .
    Yes, but make sure to keep your visits short and the ties to your home country strong I visited my husband for about 2 weeks every 3-4 months and never had issues. I traveled on an Esta as well and had a pending I-130
  17. Daphne .
    I didn’t receive a packet either, it was all accessible digitally for CBP.
  18. Daphne .
    I assume you are both adults and know how to behave in a professional manner? The officer will ask questions for both of you to answer, it’s not complicated.
  19. Daphne .
    If anything, be happy with the opportunity to interview so they can see you interact as a couple! I would be more worried if they would make a decision based on documents only..
  20. Daphne .
    A great guide for that here!
  21. Daphne .
    He doesn’t want you to leave, but does he also know in which position that puts you? Having to (unexpectedly) quit your job, not being able to work and leave the US until you have authorization? That could take a while. I think that is A LOT to ask from somebody you’ve only been in a relationship with for a short time. Especially if you weren’t even intending to meet up with him during this trip?
  22. Daphne .
    Ties to your home country are a stable job, a family, property, business. Things like that.
  23. Daphne .
    People who intentionally do this are not cool people, way too many of those on Reddit…
  24. Daphne .
    We had no joint bank account (still don’t), I was not added to any insurance or utility bill, we had nothing of that sort because I was still living in my home country and everything turned out okay. USCIS understands that couples who live in separate countries don’t have that type of evidence.
  25. Daphne .
    Are you confusing a Field Office with a Service Center maybe?
