Your case took so much longer, so I just see it as being halfway there! I think they are dragging it out because they want to convert me and want me to apply for citizenship, I AM NOT CAVING
This message means that one shouldn’t use a tourist visa to enter the US with the intent to adjust status, because that is a no-no
No, not everybody moves to the US by using a tourist visa to enter and then file for an adjustment of status. The ‘proper’ way to do it is to file for a K1 or CR1.
Just an FYI, I don’t know if you have siblings, but before you want to also have them enter the US on a visitor visa and file for an adjustment of status for them, that will not work.. Starting to see a pattern here.
This makes me wonder if you know what visa to apply for? You are talking about doing the adjustment of status, which is not a visa and also not an option for you. You cannot use a non-immigrant visa (or Esta) to enter the US with the intent to adjust status. The IR1 is your path, or possibly DCF.
