    I wonder if it’s actually as bad as OP describes it.. It doesn’t sound good. Yes, being apart during the process sucks big time and is not easy at all. I agree with you that if her mental state is this bad, this will be a challenge even if she is in the US. This, combined with the problems that OP described on top of it (tax debt), willl require a rock solid marriage to face all that.

    No because that would mean misuse (abuse) of a tourist visa, don't do that. The IR1 is the way to go, or you can check to see if you qualify for Direct Consular Filing.

    The extension letter is normal, everybody who files the I-751 gets the extension letter.

    Yes, these are all valid thoughts! You won’t know how compatible you really are until you actually start living together in normal daily life. This is why marriage (and added immigration) are huge steps and not to be taken lightly!

    No secrets, please don’t think that the quick approvals had anything to do with the quality of the package. USCIS is trying to look better and improve their stats at the expense of people who filed years ago. Sincerely, An August 2021 filer.

    Okay, so the case is at the NVC now. As soon as that step is completed, they will send it to the Embassy and your mother will receive the interview letter. She needs to schedule her medical before the interview, I would say 10 days before the interview so the Embassy has the results when she has her interview. I was not allowed to schedule the medical until I actually received my interview letter.

    The I-130 was approved, or is the case already at the NVC? Overview of the entire process here: 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 You can click on each step for more info

    This is for people who are already in the US and had a change in circumstances, not for people who are not in the US yet

    If this hybrid form of filing was even possible, it combines the downsides of both processes so it doesn’t make sense at all to do. It has the downside of the I-130 wait time without being able to be with your spouse (except maybe a visit) and then the adjustment of status process here in the US. Why somebody would choose this (if it was possible) is beyond me! I asked OP to keep us posted, because this is a very interesting situation.

    If she is not in the US, the options are K1 (fiancée) or CR1 (spousal) visa. Her using her tourist visa to enter with the intent to adjust statys is a no-no.

    Yes, I was one of them but I can’t blame her for not listening if (according to her) 3 immigration lawyers told her that this is the way to go. I deleted my comment in which I asked what she thinks CBP will do when her husband presents himself at CBP and tells them “My I-130 got approved so now I am going to file for the I-485 after you let me in”

    I think it is just the weirdest thing and find it so strange that lawyers would say that this is perfectly fine. Just crazy.. Moderators: feel free to lock this topic if needed, I really wouldn’t want to give anybody crazy ideas but just had to share with the family here 😄
  14. Daphne .
    Yes, me too! This is a crazy situation

    So the bigger letters is what OP wrote, and the middle part (smaller font size) was the screen shot of what the lawyer emailed. According to her, they were an Immigration lawyer
  16. Daphne .
    That’s what I did, but if 3 immigration lawyers told her that this is how it’s done, I completely understand that she is going to have her husband do it. I am just so confused, she added the screenshot and everything!
  17. Daphne .
    Yes, they were told that now that the I130 was approved, the foreign spouse could fly to the US and start the I485. OP did not mention filing a K3 or anything and specifically mentioned that the I130 was approved
  18. Daphne .
    Weirdest thing on Reddit, OP claims that 3(!!) immigration lawyers told her that when you check that you want to do AOS on your I-130, the foreign national (who is not in the US yet) can fly to the US once the I-130 is completed and start the I-485 as soon as they are in the US. What am I missing? The foreign national wouldn’t have an immigrant visa yet, so would use an Esta (OP mentions they are Dutch) to enter the US and start the I-485.
  19. Daphne .
    AOS always looks like a great idea until it doesn’t. I think people underestimate the ‘not being able to work or leave the US’ part. I assume you were aware of all the implications when deciding to do AOS? You could have told your partner that doing AOS would put you in a difficult spot, and that leaving the US on time and doing the CR1 would be a better decision for the long run. My husband and I were in the same boat, I was visiting the US and when we talked with a lawyer, they said I would be eligible for AOS, but I was not going to put myself in that situation and my husband completely understood.
  20. Daphne .
    Gotcha! I need to learn how to read, completely missed that part!
  21. Daphne .
    We also don't have that, the house is already paid off. I did explain that in a cover letter though, so I think it doesn't have to be an issue.
  22. Daphne .
    Be careful saying things like that, people who have been waiting a long time now will get the added stress of thinking they might have done something wrong..
  23. Daphne .
    No, that is VERY quick! I hope this wasn’t done in error, but congrats!
  24. Daphne .
    Your case seems to be red flag after red flag.. So you are now not living with your spouse but with 2 other women? What on earth are you trying to do?

    No need to send 100 photos, pick a few and make sure they cover the entire timeline of your relationship/marriage. 100 pictures will not prove more than 10 carefully selected ones
