  1. 15 minutes ago, g3tM0vIn6 said: We know people who are in the U.S. who were here on F1 visa, got married and started the application process for green card. There's no problem with that though, it's perfectly legal, and not immigration fraud (unless they actually intended to stay permanently when they got the F1 and entered on it of course). Doe this imply even for someone who had the F1 visa prior for studying and is renewing it? We have talked about consulting with an attorney but we have not started it yet. In the end we don't know the future and if we will stay in U.S. but I know we have talked about getting a green card potentially in the future but that is to be determined (TBD). Definity makes a person feel weird of falling in the category of "Intent" when we have talked about a green card but have not made an actually decision.
  2. If i started the I-130 will that affect the F1 renewal? I know we don't know what the end results will be but I don't want to create a road block with the F1 visa processing .
  3. Thank you for responding and its very appreciated. Did we muddy the water when we got married and that really is the problem?
  4. We have had discussions but in reality that has not been decided. Its good to plan for the future but the true intent is for her to finish the doctor's program. I also don't understand how it is considered "Fraudulent" to even consider the green card when she first had the F1 visa for studying and who wouldn't think about it at some point in the future to start the green card process. We know people who are in the U.S. who were here on F1 visa, got married and started the application process for green card. Moving? Maybe! that is TBD but with a PhD and my profession we have a lot more opportunities to go anywhere in the world.
  5. documents: Resume , publications and references Detailed Study/Research Plan Advisors Resume University Admissions Letter Source of funding for research or degree What if her i-20 was dated for 2026? I mean the intent is for her to finish her studies and maybe we can start the green card process later. We were hoping to keep the visa valid until a future date if we chose to do the green card.
  6. 1. We thought renewing the visa was the first start so we could start the green card process when she got back. Heard that it gets more complicated without a visa and since she is getting a PhD, we were thinking that was the correct path to take. I don't know though since this is our first time dealing with this. 2. yes, my wife visa had been expired for a year but that isn't completely her fault. The university intonational department told her that she had a "use case" to be in the U.S. to complete her studies with the university and if the visa expired she was still here in the USA legally.
  7. Hello, My wife and I got married earlier this year and she had to go back home to see family and go do something for university in another country. When she went for her interview to renew the student visa she got denied due to administrative processing. It sounds like she wasn't granted much time during the interview and was never asked for documentation but rather immediately denied. All the additional documents have been provided and now we are 2 months and still no answer. We contact our senator and her sponsor did the same but we both got similar responses (its a long process). Does anyone know if these could have played a part in our situation? 1. We got married? 2. Her visa had expired before she left? 3. Discrimination/ racial profiling? I've been told that we need to start the green card process immediately from another source but I don't know if that's true and don't understand the reason the embassy would say we need more documents instead of just denying her if we got married.
