  1. And 10 year card received today in the mail! I’m lost for words how fast it’s all gone! Hope others have similar timescales
  2. it was sent to Arizona. Not sure if that’s the centre that processed?
  3. so…huge surprise today! got email notifying me the application had been approved and my card is being produced! INSANELY QUICK! 58 days since I submitted my pack/application!!!!! so apparently, quick ones do happen sometimes!
  4. Don’t forget though that after arriving she won’t be able to work, or even leave the country for many, many months. Could easily be 6-9 months. are you/she ok with that? With a cr1 you can do both of those immediately. Essentially it’s just deciding on when the wait happens. It’s happens either way unfortunately with immigration
  5. Def. Those borderline cases where someone is trying to convince a business to sponsor them, go out of the window for sure. Will def be a hell of a lot fewer offers - but stronger, prepared ones
  6. Huge news today - will have a huge impact on applications of it goes ahead https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/trump-mulls-adding-new-100000-fee-h-1b-visas-bloomberg-news-reports-2025-09-19/
  7. mine ends next month and I just came back from Canada last week without issue (the TSA guy just said you know this expires soon, and I just said yes I have the extension letter and he just nodded and said ok) im also traveling to japan in 2 week and returning 15 days before my expiration date. I’m not remotely concerned
  8. you talk about her poor health too. Do you have the hundreds of thousands of dollars saved to pay for her treatment here? It is going to be incredibly expensive
  9. no. 4 wks of paperwork won’t help anything. Do you think you are in a genuine marriage?! Ask yourself this. Is this how you think marriages are?
  10. You need to stop worrying. That isn’t helping anything. The sooner you realise the marriage is over and you are not getting a visa, the better for your mental health it will be. forget him and the visa idea. They no longer exist.
  11. Maybe I’m being excessively harsh. Maybe it was a genuine relationship at the start. In which case I apologise. However it clearly isn’t now, so unfortunately it’s time to forget the visa idea and return to your previous life/country
  12. what can you explain? Your husband doesn’t want to confirm you’re together and you don’t live together?! yeah, USCIS will totally understand…
  13. VAWA cos your part time husband doesn’t want to live with you???!
  14. or now not want to go through with this obviously fake marriage
  15. so long as you leave before your date permitted, you’re fine. That won’t impact your interview.
  16. Why not suggest to her that you would be open to moving to Honduras with her for several years, since she wants a life partner and so she can continue her life back in her home country. Will be very interesting to see her reaction to that
  17. I did my biometrics yesterday. Got the invite letter about a wk ago. surprised how quickly that came tbh
  18. I would be happy it was signed for! That a good sign it was received. I paid slightly more to send mine via fedex and so it needed a signature so I knew that
  19. even if this is approved, you realise this will mean you cannot leave the US for many many months. Do you not have anything back home that you have left and is waiting for you? Job? Car? Rent? Pets etc
  20. that’s true. Yes, i assume both party would want to work, but if they’re not going to do that and rely on one salary, you make a good point. The other issue though of course is if the beneficiary needed to return to their home country at short notice (like a funeral unfortunately, they would be unable to. That’s def a draw back
  21. 100% agree with this. Plus the cr1 is cheaper overall. And you keep earning money throughout. I’m surprised k1 is even an option for most people these days.
  22. you are absolutely allowed an engagement party. Just try make it look as simple as possible! my other advise would be not to include those photos in anything you submit so they can’t be interpreted wrong. A nice photo with his family, taken before any party would be perfect.
  23. You could def do the formal wedding in US if you’re doing the cr1. That’s what many (incl me) on here did. He can then travel back and forth to spend time with you as you wish. the issue will be the engagement party. You’ll need to really ensure it doesn’t look like a wedding celebration to anyone (think what a suspicious 3rd party observer would think). Def avoid the dress, cake, etc or anything like that but in theory an engagement celebration is fine - just so long as it’s crazy clear that’s all it is
