    i am a neat freak as well, and when it came time for my spouse K-1 interview, I prepared all the evidence in clear plastic folders and sent it via Fedex at a cost of over $300.00 for the package. Once at the interview they asked for only 3 sheets of what he brought. The next time for the US Embassy interview, for the spousal visa, whatever I needed to send from the US I just sent via an email, including pictures, which were printed in his country. Total cost of printing $10.00. All the documentation was in one single envelope and once again of all he brought they only took and reviewed 3 pieces and the rest they never looked at it. My comments that if you want to do binders for your own piece of mind, go ahead but once at the Embassy they will ask and take only what they want to see.

    That is unfortunate but concentrate of your life and make it happy with the one you have chosen. If they come around much the better but if they do not, move on.

    Being tech challenged, I just sent all my files on paper. I just printed pictures at Walgreens and glued them to a blank page and added my written comments underneath. I only sent 10 pics that I thoughts were of consequence. It all go approved without issue. Good luck.

    When we filled out our K1 application, we sent no pictures of us together with any family, I did go visit in Indonesia and we travelled to various cities in Indonesia and also Thailand and Malaysia and we did send those pics but not a one with any family and it was approved.

    At all entry points is business as usual everyday, the election does not impact that process at all.

    Those of us who have been through this process feel your pain! For reasons that I won't bore all with it my process for a K-1 Visa for my now spouse started on May 2017 and the visa was finally approved in June 2021, 4 years, (covid happened during that time,) just be patient and move along and all will be fine. Good luck.

    I have had Global Entry since it first came out and while my travel overseas varies year to year, I find it extremely easy to just go to a kiosk when I arrive and do what is required and obtain the slip and cut the line and be out of immigration in less than 10 minutes. To me its worth the $85.00 I paid last time I renewed.

    You can get your IRS transcript online and then send it as an attachment via email and then have it printed before going to the interview. It really took me all of 10 minutes to do it when my husband went to the interview. He was able to print it at the hotel.

    If you said you do not want to be spiteful, then just get divorce and move on.

    Indeed, however, all the ones I know who were here over 10 years without documents all were granted a provisional waiver and went back to their country, went to the interview at the US Embassy and obtained their Spousal Visa, entered the US and eventually all became US Citizents.

  22. TexasRafael
    It is my understanding that a person who entered the US without documents and marries a US Citizen, can correct their legal status by leaving the US and going through the process of applying for a visa and entering with the Spousal Visa. I personally know over a dozen friends who have done that. Once in the US with their green card they can become a citizen after the waiting period as normal. So what exactly is that President Biden wanted to do that the Supreme Court denied, exactly?

    Congratulations! Good luck on your journey.

    This is really not an issue, once he receives the money he has to include the payment with the application, most likely his own check. Good luck.

    I beleve that the 12/14 months timeline is fair and leading to be more accurate than any timeline that is shorter. As you stated, set your expectations to 12 months and be pleasantly surprised if it comes sooner. My approval came a few days after the one year anniversary of my filing. Good luck.

    In the visa application the beneficiary states where they will live in the USA, not where they will enter the USA. It does not matter.
