Petitions won't help. From another post in this forum: "K-1 visas are not included in the exceptions as fiancés are not immediate family members. IR-1/CR-1 is included in the exceptions. "While it is still early, based on previous iterations of this, it is considered unlikely to be struck down by the courts by most legal observers, though there is some discussion as to if individuals such as K-1 petitioners could sue based on the specifics of their circumstances. If this is something you would prefer as compared to refile as IR-1/CR-1, you should contact a lawyer who can provide you legal advice — no one on this forum can. "If you want the most practical approach at this time it would be to get married and then file an I-130, withdrawing the I-129F petition as it would no longer be valid after the marriage. "Probably the easiest way for people going the K-1 route impacted by this would be the Utah online marriage route followed by an in-person meeting, but a marriage in your fiancé’s country or a third country would also work. If you go the Utah route, you must meet in person after the wedding and before filing the I-130."

You might have 6 or so more months to wait for petition approval, so things can change. The only consideration is whether she could safely make it to Cd. Juarez for the eventual visa interview.

How do we know that the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas? Had it been invented elsewhere, it would be called a teethbrush! --- I've found that the Texas DMV doesn't monkey around. Bring along whatever might conceivably be asked for.

Congratulations on your progress! --- Thread is shifted from the main "AOS from WS&T Visas" forum to the Case Progress subforum.

You were admitted as this. AFTER entry, you became a spouse.

All: It's crucial to quote enough of someone else's post to retain the author's intended meaning. Further instances of this will incur administrative action. VJ Moderation

The following might not apply to you, but for the benefit of others: Be sure that your card is sent to a place where you're sure to get it. If it's "in care of" someone else, be sure that your name is also on that person's mailbox. If you've recently moved in somewhere and have just changed your address, notify the people who've moved in at your old address to be on the lookout in case your card comes there.

After no production for 2 months, Cat T-B. #3 has barfed twice in the last 3 days. Both efforts were highly liquid and all over (like ALL over) the tile floor. High-quality paper towels are a must.

It's Sunday already! Time for our tension-relieving Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== ABOUT MARRIED LIFE... Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is my husband pretending not to see the three Amazon packages on the porch. Being at Costco is so embarrassing. Oh, let me just get my eyes checked while I shop for a gallon of minced garlic and my wife is lost in the Brita filter section. Wife: "Did you speak to our tax guy yet?" Me: "Yeah, I'm literally texting him now." What I'm typing: "Ground beef implies the existence of sky beef." Have you ever wondered what it's like being a husband? One day you're low on toothpaste, and the next day a new tube appears. Me: "God gives His toughest battles to His strongest soldiers." Wife: "They're literally just out of fountain Diet Coke." Watching a movie from 1935 with my wife when a dog appears on screen: "That dog's dead now." I told my wife that she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug. My husband has arrived home with emotional-support fried chicken. And took the baby. This is why he's my favorite. I ask my husband "Did you sleep well?" only as a segue to tell him how poorly I slept. Guys, my husband just cured my anxiety. He said, "Just don't worry about it," and OMG why have I never tried that before?! My wife just called pillowcases "pillow outfits." My husband is doing this really annoying thing where he refuses to say exactly what I want him to, word-for-word. My wife just fixed herself lunch and left a single piece of bread. So after 15 years, the relationship finally has a villain. Just finished an estate-planning session with my husband, and, just FYI, our lawyer says you don't get a discount for simplifying things with a suicide pact.

Thrilling Saturday non-ES report, see man: Belatedly reminded Mini-B. that this was the Many'th anniversary of losing Miu T-B. #2, sigh man.

Welcome to the forum! What do the instructions say? Read them carefully, interpret them literally, and answer completely/honestly. I haven't read the instructions, but "residences" or "addresses" would seem to be places where you received your mail and could be reliably found. Depending on the literal instructions, I say 2., and explain the short gaps only if questioned in the naturalization interview. Others here may have differing views.

1. Notify the NVC and append a copy of your naturalization certificate. 2. Update your VJ timeline here.

Never ever lie during any part of this process: 1) You'll always be trying to remember what you said when to whom. 2) Immediately or eventually, it will come back to bite you, often with disastrous results.

Thread pertaining to consular interviews is moved from the K-1 Case Progress subforum to the Embassy/Consulate forum. Folks will be along to help. Bear in mind that VJ traffic is slower on weekends.

We belatedly recall that June Many'th (2+2th) was the Many'th (2+2+1th) anniversary of having to euthanize Miu T-B. #2, miss fat fluffy miu Two Guys man. She expired in Mini-B.'s lap, bye miu man. This is why we didn't complain about up-mopping current miu's barf from all over the kitchen floor this morning, no man.

Protecting somebody! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ USSS Ordered Destruction of White House Cocaine Day After Closing Case Two years after the U.S. Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House in July, 2023, documents showing orders for its destruction within 24 hours after the agency closed the case are raising new questions about the scrupulousness of the investigation. A U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency document titled "Destruction" states that the bag of cocaine was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department for incineration. That document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, doesn't display a date for the destruction. But other internal Secret Service records show that the cocaine was tested by the Secret Service, the D.C. Fire Department hazmat technicians, and the FBI before being sent back to the Secret Service for storage on July 12. Two days later, it was transferred to the D.C. police department for destruction. The Secret Service shut down the cocaine investigation 11 days after discovering it. The destruction of narcotics evidence must comply with [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/06/06/usss_ordered_destruction_of_white_house_cocaine_day_after_closing_case_152886.html

Do not apply on what you think is exactly the 90th day before. USCIS can reject it if they think it's too early. Wait until the 85th day before.
