Out of curiosity why are some marriage visas placed under administrative processing?

Just start with an I-130. Sponsorship comes later in the process. I did my I -130 myself. I am desperate to get back to the States myself. My husband is looking forward to better things too. Let me know if you have other questions.

Can the joint sponsor be retired with the adequate income?

Congrats on knowing the love of your life your whole life! Go for it! don't think the size of the packet will make a difference. If anything you will avoid and RFE. By the time everything gets approved you may be 18 anyway. They are currently taking about a year.

If you file the I130 online it allows you to clarify and comment on each question. What you could do is file for him with your name and then write a brief explanation as to why documents from the Philipines could have a different last name. I am not a lawyer, but this is just my best logical advice.

I think you should just get a lawyer. Your marital problems are all over this site.

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes I still have a driver's too.

Hello Everyone! I am hoping to get some ideas on domicile and I-864. My husband and I are still going through the I130 process (filed on December 23). I am trying to prepare for reestablishing domicile, and the I 864. I am living with my husband here in Honduras, and we plan on leaving when he has his visa at the same time. I have been working at an international school for the last 6 years and have been using the foreign tax credit when filing my taxes. I have a permanent address in the US and a voting record. I am wondering if I will have to start paying taxes again (no more tax credit) or just use my tax forms as proof that I have filed. My current income is above the poverty guidelines. I also have a Last Will and Testament with my husband's name on it. I also own a car in the US. Is there anything else I may need to prove domicile? I am also starting a small business and I am wondering if a business tax ID and fictitious name establishment can be used as evidence. In addition, my husband already has the possibility of employment. Any insight is helpful.

True. You have a point.

Yeah, would definitely be hard to prove.

Also, there is a strong possibility she deceived him. Yes, marriages break down, but people can also be extremely deceptive as well. I wonder if there should be a discussion on this page on how one might be able to avoid this type of deception.

Wow! The timing of this says a lot about her. The 3-year mark. Get a good divorce lawyer and take his advice on whether or not to start an investigation. I hesitate to tell you to "just move on".

Thanks... I am done with the anxiety, I teach at an international school in Honduras and my husband and I plan on leaving together when he gets the visa, the embassy here is sometimes slow, and I am trying to figure out if next year will be my last at the school.

Hello! Anyone else here move to a foreign country to teach and met someone and got married? I want to start a discussion on how to leave your school properly while finding a new job in the US... Is a mid-year resignation possible at your school? My husband and I plan to leave together when he gets his visa (which of course, that timing is unpredictable). Thank you!

Sounds about right 🤣

Thank you for all your insight!

I figured the 2-week thing was too enthusiastic but I panicked when I saw 14 months because we are almost 5 months in now...

Does the processing time change if you add more evidence?😱

Did anyone notice the huge change in processing time updates on the USCIS website after the update yesterday? My time went from 2 weeks to 14 months! I am wondering if they are finally giving more accurate times?! I filed in December 2023.

You can't do anything right now... Your fiance is married to someone else. This doesn't sound like a situation I would present to immigration.

Thank you!

My receipt reads Texas Service Center. Is this where my case is being processed? How do I know if it gets transferred? Thank you!
