  • Our Story
    Met husband on Omegle when we were both 18! Visits once a year and our longest separation was 2.5 years due to covid. With time and growth we got engaged 8 years after we met each other. After a 6 month engagement we had our wedding in the UK. Whole relationship we thought my husband would move to the UK. But with the fee increase and a change in priorities we chose our first step to be the US! After going back to long distance it only took 3 months for us to know we couldnt be seperated. So we got my visa for Mexico so I can be closer to my husband. Now fingers crossed for the spousal visa to start our American dream.

    Thank you! Is that the date on USCIS that it first showed up "Sent to the department of state"?

    So I received my i-130 approval under the documents tab after receiving the action taken email on the 19th Jan. But on the USCIS account it shows up as the 21st. edit: on my approval notice it says the 19th!! But still curious of my questions for the rest of the process. Also our case was sent to the department of state today (the 23rd) but on the USCIS account it states it as the 24th Jan. So my 2 questions. Which should I update my VJ timeline to be the most accurate if this is a pattern of the day it actually happens and the day the say it happened? And I guess why does this happen? When do they consider the approval/events to be? All this being said my approval day in my heart will always be the 19th. It's a day i'll never forget. Thank you all

    yeah try direct consular filing for the faster processing time since youre both abroad. do not fill the i-130. and then she can abandon the green card down the line
  18. FromTheHills
    Your ESTA is gone for life. When enough time has passed apply for the B2 again. In years.

    This is a bit old so I don't know if you solved it. But Adding the account number to your existing account is the way to go! Did you come to that conclusion?

    The next step after the NVC receiving it is paying the fees. It's only after it leaves the NVC then the embassy get involved. Have you been documentary qualified yet?

    I would recommend this video!

    As an avid watcher of the show the only people that stay that look sus are those that got married in good faith, adjusted their status with the person they married and then divorced. Which is all legal and fine. But the k-1 haaas to adjust their status through the person that petition the k-1 and then married. Defo no hope for this woman.

    So would leaving Portugal endanger her Portuguese residency? I get the feeling the embassy will be understanding but are you able to maintain that residency while moving to the US? I guess there's the risk of losing it. But for the Paris embassy accepting you you might as well wait and see. And if they accept you then you'll get your interview letter and it'll be fine. If not then they'll ask you to transfer to the Peru embassy and you can wait in Portugal till your interview!

    Thanks for replying! Very interesting comparison! Yeah i wasn't either just a curious mind! 😁

    That's interesting. So if it's being held at NVC then when they restart then it's waiting for the embassy again from scratch right? No way to have it held at the embassy?

    Get engaged this next trip and for k-1 right away. And wait while doing smaller trips to visit each other. Reason I'm saying k-1 over the spousal visa is even the first part of the process is now 16 months and you will be able to be together sooner if you do this.

    Yeah OP I think it comes down to these things: Top priority: being together faster and not having to separate: K-1 by a MILE The ability to go to your home country if one of your family members is sick or something: Spousal. (although you can get advance parole after K-1 and I don't know how long that's taking these days so it wouldn't rule out the K-1 completely) And as for where you want to get married. I would say unless it's extremely important to you focus on these two points to make your decision. Unless certain people from you country are unable to be in the US that you really want to be there. If you are going for the spousal visa budget money for visiting each other. The wait is brutal right now and not getting any shorter.
  32. FromTheHills
    I've chronicled my USCIS estimate in the comments of my timeline. I see no rhyme or reason to it.
  33. FromTheHills
    Which country/embassy are you going to go through? Also I've documented what the myprogress tab has said in the comments of my timeline. You'll see how utterly irrational it is and not to worry.
