If you are able to get married in your country, then get married and file for a CR1 and surely by the time you enter the US you immediately get your SS and Green Card.

It looks like standard operating procedure for USCIS in this type of event. In the end you know that they received your request and just want until they actually contact you with meaningful and actionable information.

Best Reply. Especially about being sure you are not being manipulated.

I honestly believe that you overthinking this whole thing. If the two of you got married and love each other and you have provided all the documentation that they have requested, then any question that they may ask is really not to be rehearsed and answered from the heart. I have to believe that the reason why your spouse wants to be in the US is to be with her spouse and all else is secondary. Obviously your spouse wants to work, stay home, study or whatever the answer should be what it is and not rehearsed. My spouse went to the interview and we did not study or rehearse anything, they asked a whole of 3 questions and said congratulations your visa is approved and that was that, all in all less than 5 minutes at the window with the Embassy official.

I believe you said you are already married in Canada, the only option you have is the CR1 and the process will take give or take 18 months.

If they are both single and all their previous divorces are correctly process, then they should be able to apply for a fiancee visa for whom ever is the foreign resident which i guess is your father. As stated before here by someone else this is the place to get many answers so the process goes well.

Well, my husband just received his 10 year green card yesterday, entry date October 9th 2023!! Yay!!

Congratulations!

I waited until our application was recevied at the NVC and then he went for his police report at his city which took about one hour. He scanned it to me and then when we have to upload documents I had it. In Indonesia it is not addressed to anyone in particular, it's a police report for that person.

Yes, my husband K-1 Visa expired the next day after he arrived, due to Medical Delays and other issues his visa to come in to the USA was good for 10 days. In any case we got married 2 weeks after the visa expired and 3 months later I filed for AOS......

I think the easiest is to just go into the IRS Website and download copies of your tax transcripts for the period you need to report. It takes a whole of 10 minutes to do.

My spouse went to the K1 interview and the CR1 interview and I told him on both times if that subject came up to say he was not sure, in any case the question never came up in either interview.

Health insurance is not mandatory for anyone in the US, however it is the smart thing to do to have health insurance.

Well for financial reasons with the cost of a lawyer, we opted instead of using a company that helped us fill our all our forms and also reviewed them for accuracy as well as all the content to assure at least from the submission point of view all was ok. These companies are far cheaper than an attorney and I have seen reviews on them that are from the no good to the excellent. I can only speak to my experience with them for our K-1, Adjustment of Status and CR1. They did a great job on all three instances and I never received a ROE. You may want to look them over.

If you are going to Vietnam to meet, then why not just get married when you are there and not have the addes uncertainty about the Utah marriage.

When my fiancee went to the interview in Jakarta, it was requested in the list of things he needed to bring that he bring the original of my birth certificate. In the US Embassy in Jakarta web site there are a number of authorized translators that the embassy approves for English translation of documents. Not sure if your BC is in Bahasa or some other language.

While I have read that the green card will arrive in 90 days after arrival in the USA, (given that the visa fee is paid,) is it that it will arrive around 90 days or can it arrive sooner. I was blown away when my husband SSN card arrived 12 days after he entered the US!

The country where you reside it's totally irrelevant to that. My husband took the K1 Visa interview back in 2021 in Jakarta, Indonesia and was approved without issue and was able to travel to the US to get married, due to other matters had to return to Indonesia before receiving his green card, so I had to apply for a Spousal visa, which again was approved without issue and he is now here with me.

So, my spouse will be coming to the US in October and in anticipation I paid the $220.00 immigrant fee and have the receipt. I understand that nothing starts moving on the issuance of the green card after the person enters the USA, however, once that happens is there a place you can track the progress of the Green Card issuance? Thanks

Any member from Indonesia that have recently had their medical in Premier Bintaro for their spousal visa? What is the cost these days? Thanks
