  1. 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..
  2. Don’t do any of this, not a good plan!
  3. 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.
  4. They can try to visit but it will always be up to CBP’s discretion to be admitted.
  5. 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.
  6. No, this will all be done for them once the NVC has processed their case and it moves to the embassy.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. I didn’t receive a packet either, it was all accessible digitally for CBP.
  10. 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.
  11. 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..
  12. A great guide for that here!
  13. 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?
  14. Ties to your home country are a stable job, a family, property, business. Things like that.
  15. People who intentionally do this are not cool people, way too many of those on Reddit…
  16. 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.
  17. Are you confusing a Field Office with a Service Center maybe?
  18. I started applying for jobs about a month before I moved, because I knew that I would be able to attend a job interview (I moved pre-covid). Had a job interview 3 days after arriving in the US and started my job 2 weeks later.
  19. I always answered according to what the status was, so this went from “visiting boyfriend” to “visiting fiancé” to “visiting husband”. The letter will not really mean anything, and won’t guarantee that she’s not going to overstay or adjust status, so I see no benefit in that. I would for sure do a shorter trip, being able to be away from your life for months at a time does not scream strong ties.
  20. So happy that the whole RFE situation turned out to be nothing. Still no sign that they ever received my response, but I guess that it didn’t matter after all. But with my immigration journey so far (waiting 120 days for my greencard, receiving card with wrong name, waiting 9 months for I-90 to get approved, I-751 taking this long) I won’t relax until I actually have my 10 year green card in hand 😅 It has been a Murphy’s Law type of journey so far! Thank you!!!
  21. My I-751 was approved today!!!!! I don’t think they ever looked at my RFE response because they say they didn’t receive it (whatever…) but after 2.5 years I made it!
  22. It is permitted, but if she’ll be admitted by CBP is another matter and will depend greatly on how strong her ties to Indonesia are. Don’t have her visit for the max amount of time because that doesn’t show great ties. Does she have a stable job and life in Indonesia? I was able to visit the US while my I-130 was processing but had short visits of up to 2/3 weeks every 3 to 4 months and that travel pattern never caused any issues. I had a stable job and life in the Netherlands.
  23. She will do the interview for the K1, and further down the line you might have to interview together for the adjustment of status process (which needs to get filed/started after you got married). Some of those have been waived though, so she might get her greencard without having the adjustment of status interview. I don’t know the specifics about her country, but somebody might have more intel on that.
  24. Yes, the $220 immigrant fee is part of it and you need to pay it in order to get the green card. The instructions came when I received my passport back with the visa in it, that letter explained what it was for and how to pay it.
