    Here you go: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/study/student-visa.html

    I thought you were the beneficiary, sorry! Correct, the rules are in place for the beneficiary’s safety.
  3. Daphne .
    First check if you are even allowed in, not all embassies allow that. If they let you, you can join him if you want but it is not required

    Those rules are in place for YOUR safety.

    It could be because of website maintenance, this happens frequently on weekends. I see many posts on Reddit from people who have the same issue.

    It can take up to 90 days. She should have received that info when she received her passport back with the visa in it. Was the immigrant fee paid?

    You can still visit her while your CR1 is pending, I did the same thing and had no issues. So you could still see each other while your CR1 is pending. I am not sure what you mean by "traveling back and forth right now could cause danger while we're still dating and not married since we're already dating for 1.5 years"? If you have your mind set on adjusting status, you can of course do that now, just make sure that you don't make short-term decisions with long-term consequences. Good luck!

    From one Dutchie to another, please think very carefully about doing the AOS, you really don’t want to be stuck in the US without being to work or leave for a good few months. You mention that “since you’re Christians you can’t/don’t want to wait any longer”, don’t make huge decisions based on primal desires/needs. I assume that’s what you are referring to? If possible (not sure how much time you have left on your Esta) why not get married now, leave the US after your visit and do the spousal visa (CR1) instead?
  9. Daphne .
    I understand, but the marriage will happen in the US, where it is legal and the staff at the Embassy will treat it accordingly
  10. 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?
  11. Daphne .
    There is no official timeframe and also no benefit to waiting. Do it as soon as you have the marriage certificate.
  12. Daphne .
    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.
  13. Daphne .
    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.
  14. Daphne .
    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.
  15. Daphne .
    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.
  16. Daphne .
    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..
  17. Daphne .
    Don’t do any of this, not a good plan!
  18. Daphne .
    That sounds like a solid plan.
  19. Daphne .
    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.
  20. Daphne .
    They can try to visit but it will always be up to CBP’s discretion to be admitted.
  21. 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.
  22. Daphne .
    No, this will all be done for them once the NVC has processed their case and it moves to the embassy.
  23. 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.
  24. 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
  25. Daphne .
    I didn’t receive a packet either, it was all accessible digitally for CBP.
