My thoughts too

I-485 is the intending immigrant’s petition, not the US citizen’s. So your spouse is the one answering the questions as they pertain to her. Since I-485 can only be filed physically, it’s better to file the rest together physically as well.

This was merged with an already existing September 2024 filers for spouses of US citizens. This section of the forum which is in the CR1/IR1 is for spouses of US citizens .

I would not include that.

I don’t think that’s possible for K1s since they don’t deal with CEAC. I think they just gave a generic 221g form.

Please use this existing thread for October 2024 filers.

Just because you don’t go beyond the 6 months usually given for visitors when entering the US and your family are legal immigrants, doesn’t mean that you can come and go frequently. This is seen as abusing the tourist visa and using it to essentially live in the US. If you have been visiting too often with too little time between visits and are also suspected of working (which is a fair assumption- if you have work then you can’t take off that much and working online in the US on a tourist visa isn’t allowed), this questioning isn’t surprising and was bound to happen. Yes, they can absolutely confiscate your phone, laptop, go through your belongings, etc. Asking tough questions is not harassment. Suggesting they could have touched you is extreme. Everything is recorded and there are other officers around. Sorry but you don’t have options here. You’re not a US citizen where you are guaranteed entry and can continue coming back and forth. Even US citizens and permanent residents get pulled into secondary and questioned. My husband who is a US citizen was questioned extensively after a long overseas visit (he spent 2 hours in there). Visiting is a privilege and you’re treating it as a right. It isn’t unfortunately. You’re fortunate they didn’t revoke your visa on the spot and send you back on the next flight out. I strongly advise you to leave when they told you to leave and not visit the US for a long time if you want to keep the privilege of possessing a tourist visa.

Unfortunately it’s just continuing to wait. They do not contact you after every status change. They will only reach out if they need something like a document or if they need you to redo your medical etc.

***Threads on 221g/Admin processing merged. Please post any further questions or updates here only*** No it’s not the final decision. Refused is a normal part of AP.

I think it’s legitimate going off of this: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/LND-London.html

I have read posts where applicants asked for passports back to travel. The consulate will request it when they’re ready to issue the visa. It might cause a small delay as opposed to if they already had it in possession.

You don’t need to work in the field to know. This has already happened to someone, also in the Philippines. Expunged arrest that wasn’t disclosed in the petition. The case was denied after the consulate ran a background check. They had to restart with a spousal visa. Here’s the thread:

*** Thread moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures *** You're not eligible to file for naturalization. He needs to petition you for a spousal visa. Takes about 18-24 months.

*** Thread moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures *** Typed on a computer is best. For signature, why would your fiancé (the beneficiary) sign? It’s only the petitioners signature that’s needed on I-129f.

*** Thread moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures *** The chances of CBP not paroling you in as a K1 entrant is very low. You can try but just be aware and prepared that you have little control over that so if they admit you as a K1 (which is most likely) then that’s that.
