  1. I hope your request gets accepted. You can also look into One Percent for America.
  2. I think OP and spouse should both work on parallel solutions now. Spouse not finding work for years is demonstrating a lack of job searching skills; even if she goes back to school, this is something that she should start to work on while OP reaches to representative and tries to expedite.
  3. Yes, this should not be a problem. I strongly recommend that you try to renew your passport while you are in Canada though. Imminent need to travel would justify the expedited service while you are there.
  4. Understand that it might be months without being allowed to work. Even part time entry level work would be better than zero income. She might want to reach out to your local career center (look up state name and "career centers"). The local library is also a good resource for job search support. Best of luck.
  5. You might try to expedite the EAD, but it's still not an instant process. I hope you have a nice savings cushion. Alternatively, your American spouse is allowed to work.
  6. Not fun and extra wait, but better than dealing with ICE later because someone feels you shouldn't have been approved. Will be cleaner that way.
  7. Please fill your timeline. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=495006
  8. I think the current administration sees it as a feature, not a bug.
  9. I expect many will simply decide to not visit, and many others will not disclose everything.
  10. The exact documents required are listed on the reciprocity schedule for each country. See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html
  11. Marry and add her to your insurance - that is usually the easiest (and cheapest) option.
  12. If your parents are not able to travel to South Africa, you might want to look at Caribbean/Central America countries where your spouse is able to travel without a visa. Another option, however probably too late for this year's Holidays, is to get a visa to Canada and meet in Montreal. Shorter drive for them. Best of luck to you and your family.
  13. It is on you to make sure you are eligible for what you are requesting - NVC has no way of knowing if you are legally residing in another country. I understand you do not want to be separated, so go with your priorities. If getting the visa fast is your priority, have her relocate first. If you do not mind longer wait, then show what you have now, and accept possible delays/later separation if she needs to relocate. No magic trick. Look up this thread for more ideas of steps possible to demonstrate her intent to reestablish domicile:
  14. K1 is a weird choice for anyone with tight finances. What's your plan B if your brother doesn't agree? Your spouse being out of status isn't a comfortable position to be in. Please try to find a solution (increase your income) asap. Wishing you guys the best of luck.
