  • Our Story
    My wife and I met a middle school where we were more acquaintances than friends. I pretty much knew all her friends as she knew all mine but we never hung out much at all or really spoke to each other. We just knew of each other. Unfortunately, as I was going into high school her dad would get deported and she and the rest of her family would voluntarily go with her dad back to Mexico. At this point, I was in the 8th grade and she was in the 7th grade. 6 years had gone by and at this point we were 19 and 18 when we reconnected on social media instantly remembering how we went to middle school with each other and reminiscing. Even then we were still just friends becoming best friends at that point because we were both still hung over our exes. However, the whole time I still had the hugest crush on her and was falling for her more and more each day and little to my knowledge she was just waiting for me to make a move on her as she was falling for me at the same time. I finally make a move and ask her to be exclusive in a long-distance relationship with me and she gladly said yes. From there on we had a long-distance relationship for multiple years that consisted of me traveling to Mexico every chance I could to spend time with her and her family. In April 2019 I would propose to her and apply for the K1 visa so we could finally be together. In the midst of that process she would become pregnant with then our first child of two. It was pretty scary at first because everything was going smoothly and her visa interview was an April 2020 which was then canceled due to Covid and at that point we had no idea when her next visa interview would be scheduled, which obviously had us worried since she was pregnant. After constantly checking visa journey and Covid updates in regards to visas, I have had enough being away from her and applied for an expedited visa emergency interview which was then approved and scheduled for September 2020. Her visa was finally approved and she came to the US on September 16 2020 and we would get married the next day. Since then we have had two kids and have lived in Washington and now back home in California and couldn’t be happier .

  1. I'm not sure if this is the right forum and I haven't been able to find a concrete answer elsewhere. So I know people file the N400 while their I751 is pending, however my wife's GC doesn't expire until 06/2024, meaning we couldn't file the I751 until 03/2024. However, She came on a K1 visa on 09/16/2020 and we got married on 09/17/2020. Wouldn't that mean she could file for the N400 after her 3 years of being here, since our 3 years would be 09/17/2023, and you could apply 90 days earlier (which would be in a few days from now)? If so, is it allowed to file for the N400 before filing the I751?
  2. Thank you for the reply! Also, I actually found out that my wife’s sister is unmarried but it doesn’t look like the really speeds up the process at all since she turns 21 this year. So it looks like her best option is just a tourist visa for now right? Even then she still has to go back to Mexico after her visits correct? Just sucks because i did want, as well she, for her kids to have the chance at a US education over Mexico’s.
  3. So my wife is eligible to take her USC test next year so naturally we started thinking about starting the process of moving her family (Mexico) over to the US as well. I have a very close relationship with her family and would love for them to come to the US. Her family is as such: Dad (42) Mom (42) Sister (20 married w/ 2 children) Brother (11 but was born in the U.S.) Sister (10) Being that her brother was born in the US I know she won’t have to petition for him. Is it true the wait time for her sisters to be able to come over as a LPR would be 22 years right now? Is there any options for them to be in the US faster permanently? How long would it take for her parents to be LPRs? Also, in case you are wondering about her USC brother, her and her family was in the US unlawfully from 1999-2011 in which her father was deported and the rest of the family voluntarily left back to Mexico with only her father incurring a 10 year ban.
  4. Hey guys! After a long wait my wife finally received her GC after adjusting from a K1 visa and we are very excited! However, we noticed her permanent residency card still has her maiden name even though we have been married for almost 2 years now. Is this normal or is this a mistake? I saw that I would have to file an I90 to change it which would take months. Which would obviously suck because after 2 years of waiting we just got it today and it would be a real buzzkill to wait months again.
