Took about 2 weeks for me.

Why ask for advice and then attack everyone who is trying to help? It isn't our fault that you did not understand what you were supposed to do, or that you asked the wrong question. And it's especially not our fault that doctors charge what they charge or that we don't have a specific list of civil surgeons and their exact fees.

Just a heads up...you can see how many times a group member has helped in VJ by the number tally to the right of their user name. 
Calling experienced members out of their name is a wonderful way to get yourself blocked by the most helpful. 
JS.

They said medical is valid for a year. But I keep reading about partial I-693. Anyways don't need to sound rude, but I expect only messages from people who did K1-AOS, or experts who know full details. But I am getting comments from people all around, eventhough it is AOS from K1 and K3

Good luck in your search, but no right-minded health care professional is going to sign off on someone else's earlier exam.  There is a big, big liability consideration.  It will be a full exam....and it will cost several hundred dollars.  Immigration isn't cheap.   The path of least resistance is just to pay for the full exam.

Nope.  There's a chance that they're intimidated, or too lazy to want to contact overseas references.
Human Resources departments here in the Colonies can contain the dregs of the company, and hiring managers may not understand what an MEng is.  Confront this through a strong cover-letter that explains what you've told us here.
Gaps aren't as big a killer as in past years, and you can also explain them in the cover-letter.
Turn this into a benefit by listing your capabilities in a 2-column bulleted list, in your resumé, cover-letter, or both.
Yes, and good.
Actually, the numbers game might be your biggest obstacle.  Are you relying on job ads in LinkedIn and similar portals?  Listings can attract many dozens of applicants within just a few hours of posting.  You have to be lucky in timing.
 
In job-hunting, as in life, sometimes it's not so much what you know, but who you know.
 
Suggestion #1:  Identify some area companies where you'd like to work.  Learn who the appropriate department head is.  Call (don't e-mail) and ask for a 20-minute in-person appointment (call it an informational interview) to gain his/her advice on your best opportunity and how you should proceed.  Even if no opening currently exists, the manager will now know you.  Repeat this process.  You might even volunteer to work in a unit for free for a week or two.
 
Suggestion #2:  Try this idea, previously posted by the member Darnell:
---
Each city has a chamber of commerce. Find it.

Once you find it - talk with the secretary - tell her you want a schedule of events and let her know you'd like to attend.

Then - go in person to the Chamber of Commerce Office - talk with the President of the Chamber, tell him/her you want to volunteer at several of their events.

Attendees at chamber events are business owners and sales geeks, all looking for new business.  It usually is an informal-enough gathering where you can approach people and talk with them.

Now, the cool thing about being a volunteer there - is that you will be talking to everyone at least once - you might be at the reception table, you might be at the greeters table, you might help to run the audio/video system - whatever - but - the point is that you can meet everyone there, face to face.

Attend 2 or 3 of these, and folk remember you. When folk remember you, they will remember you are seeking employment and will consider you, because you're just not some name on a piece of paper - they met you at a chamber event and know that you were volunteering, helping out the chamber.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck!

PS - live in a really small town? go to the biggest town that's within 15 miles of your house.

In short, networking is probably your best bet right now.  Let us know how you choose to proceed.  Rooting for you here.
 

Sorry.  You made a gigantic (and maybe irrevocable) mistake. We would have advised you NOT to apply for a B2.  Until your situation regarding ties to home country have changed, you are wasting your time.  Forget about an attorney.  @Mike E has some great ideas. 

Get a job and home in the EU. 
 
We never advise people who have an ESTA to apply for a B visa 
 
You have created a de facto ban for yourself. This was totally unnecessary. You could have spent 90 days USA, then 91 days in the rest of the western hemisphere, and then another 90 days in the USA.
 
Try again in 5 years. You will then get   a 10 year multi entry  B visa and life will be much better, if you are still inclined to visit the USA (I can understand if you will not be).  
 
If it is any consolation, when ETIAS happens this year, the Schengen Area will be doubt the same thing to Americans that Americans have been doing to citizens of the EU.  
 
I hate electronic travel authorizations.  I have a strong feeling that after November Europe will become inaccessible to me.   

Agree with @PaulaCJohnny. It will not be easy to overcome a recent denial. 
 
there’s no special way to re-apply, you just do what you did the first time. 
 
regarding a lawyer, nothing they can do with a tourist visa application and would be a waste of money 

Hello. If your situation didn’t change regardless your ties to your home country, will be really hard to get a different result. 

ESTA is dead to you. Once you try to apply for a B2 you cannot apply for a ESTA, ever again.
 
Applying in another country is another red flag, imo. Looks like you are trying to find a back door. The denial was about ties, applying in another country shows 100% that you are not tied tou Netherlands. Also shows a level of desperation .
 
Looks really difficult to get approved but you will need to apply to check.
 
By the way, they are not obligated to accept and review any paperwork that you bring to the interview. Normally your case is already decided based on the information provided in the application form.
 
Good luck.
 
 
 
 

This is not the thread to discuss the political aspect, there is a thread on VJ for political things!

Approximately two years as things stand now.  The additional wait time for a green card can be up to two years also.  Wait times for EAD/AP are less - up to 8 months.
 
In terms of future processing times, that is anyone's speculation.  Those of us who have been on VJ for years have seen the petition processing times vary greatly.  I've seen from 3 months to the current 15.5 months.

The 15.5 month estimative now is only for the first stage of the K1 visa – the I-129F petition. There are still the NVC and Consulate stages after that and that varies by country and case.

You should follow this thread to check on the backlog clearing:

You know they’ll eventually be required, right?

Because if there is a reason why you have significant income that is generating significant assets yet isn’t being declared on a tax return, that has an impact on your ability to be a financial sponsor.  
 
I will leave you with these  thoughts before I take my leave from this thread. 
 
1. When it comes to immigration and naturalization, the  path of least resistance is to file o income  tax returns even if the IRS doesn’t require it. 
 
2. You can file federal income taxes for free.   
 
3. My I-864 was clean as a whistle and no RFEs, and I suspect that is true of most of the others try to help you.   My beneficiary is interviewing for citizen in less than 2 weeks.  So I might actually know what I am doing.  
 
Lots  of that going around,
 
Good luck with  your immigration journey. 
 
I am out.  

I've been using this as what next steps after NOA2. 
NOA 2 to NVC.pdf

Actually, YOU need to prepare for what the interviewing officer is going to ask. As stated above, the timing of this is suspicious. You will need a LOT of proof that you entered the marriage in good faith.  I would even suggest consulting an attorney for an opinion.  Become an "A" student of filing an I-751 with a divorce waiver.

There's no country which has expensive Medicare than US. So, if you're trying to use your situation to get a faster route to US, think twice. It's not a good idea. 
 
And I agree with everything @Carlos.Brazil said. 
 
Wanna know how expensive it is? I went to the dentist 1 month ago and they never did anything other than take a scan. After insurance did their bit, I paid $300 out of pocket. My teeth weren't fixed. I was in an out in 10 mins. Just the $300 alone could have solved issues if I'd have gone outside the country. Doctors charge for anything here, even breathing in their office. So, go somewhere else. US isn't that rosy.
 
Did you by any chance mention to your doctor that you have a US petition or want to obtain a B-2 to go to US or something? I really doubt if he just blatantly told you to go to US, out of the blues. A lot of USC here are going to M.East and Italy for Healthcare. 

Are you coming to the US for a visit?  You can't live in the US until you have a proper visa.  It is illegal to enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status. 

When one is ESTA eligible, a B visa usually gets denied because one is ESTA eligible.  You are now in a fe-facto ban of your own making.  
 
Since you were looking for a stay of more than 90 days that raises suspicion right there.  
 
1. What is it about your life that lets you be away from your country that long?  Most people have jobs. If you don’t have a full time job, get one.  
 
2. Why did you want to stay more than  90 days? 
 
3. An exception would be a retiree.  Are you retired?
 
Get a full time  job. Work for a while.  
 
Then try the ESTA again. 
 
I’m not optimistic but if you don’t try the ESTA first  after working full time, and instead  keep trying for B visas you are just doing the same thing expecting different results.  
 
If ESTA is denied after you have been working full time, then you have a basis for applying for a B visa.  
 
Whatever you do, don’t ask for an authorized stay of more than 90 days.  Apply for an authorized stay  of 2 weeks.  .  

Too late.
 
 
There are none.
You can't back track now after she has residency. 
Those violations would have been discussed at her first GC and 90% likely forgiven. 
Whether or not her name is on the lease, kicking someone out of their residence is illegal.
If she has EVER received a piece of mail there, she is a resident. 
 
Also illegal.
Again....assault. 
Take that up with your divorce lawyer.
I think you should divorce and move on.
It's her immigration journey now. 
Reporting her for anything may result in your own legal troubles for doing the things you have listed which are forms of domestic violence.
Tread carefully.

Coming here on a visitor visa with the preconceived intent to stay is fraud. 
As others have said, there are no shortcuts. It’s either the K1 or the CR1. 

This may also be a very unfavourable opinion to express when all is lovey-dovey but I would always prefer having a CR1 status over adjustment of status. Staying at home and depending on your spouse for EVERYTHING gets old, does a thing to many marriages and relationships while your status in pending. I know a few military spouses who went along with the adjustment of status process and  almost all of them suffered in some form or fashion. Some had family issues in their home country, a death of a loved one and funeral to which they could not travel because their status was pending.
 
I would always ask myself the question how I would feel if, for some unknown reason, your spouse decides to abort the mission, file for divorce before your LPR status is recognised. 
 
Think ahead.

There are no US consulates in the US.  You've been petitioned for a visa, therefore the interview happens at the US consulate in your country.  The visa is what you enter the US with.
 
It seems you both should do quite a bit of reading and research, as 9 months in, you still don't have a basic understanding of the process.  Not understanding it can cost you money and time.
