even though it has nothing to do with my question But they are rich kids are teenagers she is a housewife husband has multiple businesses

lol

yeah I think it makes sense, why create an issue when she is already coming here twice a year for small visits. I appreciate all your guidance.

My fiance at the time was a female from Pakistan, we did not had any issue, i went for my engagement we took engagement pictures, we documented everything, i came back filed for K1, everything smoothly, no major age difference etc. I was divorced as well, i thought that will be a problem. In my batch of filers there were a lot of males as well, some were sent on lengthy APs some were not, actually the guy who interviewed the same day my wife did, they both got the visa same day. My wife was in AP for a short time as well, you can go on AP blackhole for whatever reason and no one will be able to tell you and how long. K1 and Marriage visas are two different choices and they both should be considered hard, I did my research for me at that point in time K1 was the right option and I am very glad I chose that route. You can check my timeline for exact dates etc. all said I believe that marriage visa is a much stronger visa albeit it might take a little extra but it definitely has financial benefits, some people here are generally dismissive of the K1 visa (especially from countries that do not have good reputation) but there is a reason that visa exists. I would suggest to do your research on this forum, there are so many good guides here and so many good conversations that have happened before you ask this question, make yourself familiar with all the nuances before making a final decision. I hope you and your loved one are together sooner than later but it is not an easy journey and you guys need to have the mindset one way or the other to be able to accomplish the end result. best of luck

which country you were coming from might also matter, my sister-in-law is flying in from Pakistan which is the capital of visa frauds, so definitely gets more scrutiny

of course, no one can predict CBP, all her visits so far have been 2 weeks or under, and she wasn't questioned once at the airport. Always travelled with set itineraries, cash, ties back home etc. but was never asked. Funny enough, she is concerned that it is too short of a turnaround and might raise a red flag and I am thinking that her fear is unfounded. Basically I am trying to reason that she should visit, its a proper wedding and I do not see how CBP will question her intent when her kids, husband, business etc are in another country. But yeah you are right I assume.

My sister-in-law has a multiyear visit visa, she went to the US in December last year and is planning to come back in Feb to attend a friend's wedding, she is concerned that she might have an issue because of the short turnaround time. Feb visit will be her 3rd visit in the past 12 months. 1st visit was in April last year for 2 weeks, the second visit was in December for two weeks, and then this upcoming one. She does not want to have issues because she wants to keep traveling to meet her family here in the US and she thinks that turning around within two months is not a good idea. I think her fear is unfounded as there is no intent for her to stay because she has her kids, husband, etc in Pakistan. but again I thought I would ask the people who might have gone through this. thanks to all in advance.

Hopefully this will be corrected immediately, my then fiance now wife I also made a mistake but it was early in the process of I-129, I sent them the birth certificate and they quickly fixed it without any hesitation or asking for anything else.

Assigned to Nebraska Service Center, letter rcvd today for 48 month extension and second letter for reuse of Biometrics. Another milestone in this long journey.

Tempe, AZ is where I mailed it too but don't know what service center, I am assuming it will be texas as we are in Texas.

Lol as soon as I sent a msg, rcvd a notice from USCIS I think they are reading this forum.

Yeah, not super worried but seems like they had been pushing receipt notices much quicker than 4-8 weeks. But I think it will be after the holidays now.

Sent our packet out on Monday 16th to Tempe, AZ. UPS shows rcvd on 17th but nothing as of now.
