Daphne .

She’s only visiting so she would be back in SA before her tourist visa expires, right?

She's wrong in this situation as the marriage happened in the 90 day period. Definitely no need for I-130.

Gotcha! It surprised me because it came from a pretty established member here.

It was the proper form to file and lawyer should have fully explained this

 

Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is the first step to apply for adjustment of status for a K-1 visa holder and apply for a Green Card. Adjustment of status is a process that allows people in the United States to apply for permanent resident status without returning to their home country for visa processing

Where did you get this info from? Did anything change because as far as I know the I-130 doesn’t apply if the beneficiary entered on a K1 and the couple married within 90 days. 

You will be fine

They think she would just end up staying in the US.

Hi everyone,

 

I know this has been asked a lot BUT no one has posted recently so I was hoping some recent filers who got their extension letter could help out?

 

When you sent in the packet:

 

1. Did you use sticky tabs for the bottom of the page to indicate "exhibit A" per the cover letter with table of contents? (The directions on USCIS used to say you could for lockbox submissions, but now they seem to be gone)

2. Did you use a big clip to hold the packet together?

3. Did you ship it in an envelope or box?  Our packet is HUGE, so I feel like we will need to ship a USPS document mailing box. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Even though it is of course great that you have a lot of evidence, but if your packet is HUGE are you not sending repetitive evidence? 
 

I just stacked my papers and put them in an envelope. 

What kind of work visa is she on? 

She can try to get a tourist visa, but her chances of getting one approved are very slim. 
 

If her tourist visa gets denied based on suspected immigrant intent it won’t impact her current case. 

No changes in this process or situation. 

 No, it’s not needed for the I-751. 

You will be fine!

We were kind of worried about If she is ever asked why she lives and works in one city, but goes to school in another city, how she would answer that. Then if she said it's online classes, would that suffice.

 

I guess we are worried about nothing? They'll be more focused on the other paperwork?

It’s not relevant, no. 

The requirements are that you have met in person at least once in the 2 years prior to filing, which you have. 

Her chances of getting a tourist visa approved are not great, and for good reason because it looks like she’d try to use it to enter with the intent to adjust status. 

You don’t need hundreds of pages of evidence. 

For tourist visas there is no petitioner or beneficiary, there’s only the applicant.

Gotcha. Now the case will be sent to the NVC and after that it will move to the Embassy. Here is a great overview, you can click on each step for more info. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html
 

I assume this is a consular case? Where and who is the beneficiary?

In case if we are not really divorced on paper so what will happened?

Are you divorced or are you not? 

Both the US and Canada can deny you entry because you don’t seem to have any ties to your home country if you can spend this much time away. You can be considered a high risk of not leaving the US (or Canada for that matter).
