Hey everyone,

My husband received his two year conditional green card recently. My parent is a US contractor overseas and approached me with a job offer for the both of us which pays really well and could be a really amazing opportunity for our growing family. I wanted to know if: 1. It is possible to work overseas for the government with his two year greencard 2. If it’s possible, what is the ruling? Does he need to apply for advanced parole or can we just come back as long as it’s less than one year from leaving. Or does it have to be less than 6 months from leaving? Thank you!

My visa wasn't expired. At the time, I had been in the US a few weeks when my government announced a new set of restrictions and my flights got cancelled due to bad weather. So we got completely fed up and decided to marry and AOS.

Thank you for sharing! This option seems to be the least stressful

I was in the same situation as you (check my timeline). Had a pending K1, visited on a B2, then during my US visit, we got completely fed up with the PH government travel restrictions.

 

Provided that you didn't lie about your intent at the POE, you can marry and adjust status in the US.

 

Be aware that until you will not be able to work legally or travel internationally for many months (6-8 months seems to be the norm, but can be much longer).

 

Good luck!

 

 

Hi, how long were you in the US before deciding to marry? was your visa expired? I am currently in the same situation and would like some insight.

Uscis processing times have recently changed to 9 to 12 months

As far as I've read and understood, there is no expiration date while your petition is with the USCIS

Hey guys! ~ Does anyone have an estimate on VJ when their petition will be approved who filed around the same time as me? - the 16th April.

Also.. does the i129F petition expire? I read somewhere that our petition will expire either at USCIS or NVC if no action is taken in 12 months? Or is the only expiry when we receive the visa?

Found this from a post online “The I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval by USCIS. They’ll extend your case for 4-month increments as long as they see that you’re actively working on it (i.e emailing them, scheduling interview, submitting visa fee, etc.). The maximum they’ll extend it is 12 months.”

My estimate says between February 28th and March 8th. I filed April 20th.

Hi everyone, I filed an i-129f for my fiance but we're considering cancelling it, getting married and filing an i-130. We'd like to move abroad together while going through the process. I read I would need to get biometrics done. Do I need to be in the US for that stage or can it be done abroad? Also, can anyone give me any insight of the timeframe from the time you send in the form until the time they tell you to get the biometrics done? Any additional advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey y'all, just joined this website.. My receipt # is in the 77000! But no approval yet hoping to hear one soon  Visajourney estimates December for me I'm just hoping it doesn't have to take that long lol!

Our receipt's are in the same list! I'm getting the same estimate as you from visajourney, but considering the rate of approvals in our group, and the amount of petitions remaining within the 7700 group, it seems as though it may be sooner! My fingers are crossed!

Hello!

does anyone know if k1/k3 visa interviews are scheduled in line with tourist visas?

Hi,

thanks in advance 😅

Maybe not denial letter. Just RFE. Dont be anxious. Just play it by the ear. 

 

Cause me too... I think im gonna get RFE cause we only did one joint letter for intent to marry. So im thinking maybe well receive RFE. 

I've been going over older posts that have said it's mentioned to have all pages copied in the instructions for filling out the petition. Since those were older posts though (dated back in 2012), I think they might have changed the requirements and all pages are no longer required (or so I hope) because it's not mentioned in the instructions when I read them. I reside overseas so it'll be a bit difficult should I receive an RFE, that's why I'm freaking out a little. Also, pretty sure having the intent to marry on a joint letter is fine. As long as you've both signed, that should be all that matters.

I dont think you would get a denial letter, but i would have included the passport and visa stamps pages as proof of meeting in the last 2 years.

we both live and work in the same company overseas, it's not a long distance relationship

Hey everyone,

I just read somewhere that I needed to submit a copy of ALL pages of my U.S passport with the petition. Is this true? I only submitted a copy of the photo page and signed page. I also sent a copy of my birth certificate. I’m afraid that I will get a denial letter because of this 😰

Hey everyone! here's our timeline:

04/18/21 packet sent to Lewisville, TX Lockbox via FedEx

04/04/21text received

04/05/21 email received (Will be sent to California Service Center)

I'm not home to collect the official receipt from the mail. My mom will be receiving it on my behalf. Hoping this won't be a problem and there isn't anything major other than a receipt.
