    That's also what I'd suggest. However, since most people know very little about immigration, I would also make it clear to her what it might be a now or never situation - even visiting will probably be off the table.

    "Our first concern is that there doesn't seem to be a way for him to get a police certificate from Libya, as from everything I've read he would need to physically present in Libya which he can not do due to his status. Has anyone in a similar situation successfully used to feature on the application to explain why a police certificate can not be obtained?" You can state why it is not available and refer them to the reciprocity schedule for Libya. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

    If I remember correctly, you have to enter the US with, or before, your goods. You have a set period of time to import all of it under the exemption, and the goods have to be "used" (you are supposed to bring what you were using already, not buy brand new furniture to export). You should find all of the rules on the cbp.gov website. This is a good start: https://www.help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-1392?language=en_US ; then, the shipping company will also have their own forms. Just make it clear that it is your personal effects and refer them to the cbp website if needed.

    The documents you will need are listed under each section on this page: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html Then, to find which version of the documents/instructions to order them, you can look up the the reciprocity schedule (for each country): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

    Some states require PTO to be paid out at the end of employment. See: https://www.paycor.com/resource-center/articles/pto-payout-laws-by-state/ , the answer might be there. I have no idea about the pay being recorded as vacations before or after her EAD ends. I am sure there has to be a definition somewhere. However, it is possible to have some income and not be allowed to work. For example, if she collected rent from leasing out an apartment, or a pension from a previous employer. So income =/= work. Just not sure about vacations with a (current?) employer.

    Once you have the visas, you might want to come back with dates and departing/destination airports. Some members are great at finding the best deals on flights.

    Complicated tax situation with my employer is factor #1. Might happen once I retire, but we're moving overseas for our old days. I'll reevaluate then.

    You will need to look up the reciprocity schedule for each country/document you want to submit. See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

    If your girlfriend (fiancée?) intends to spend more than 30 days in the US, look up the new requirement to register with USCIS. Otherwise, if you look at the history of your posts, you will find answers that are still valid. Final note, please, please, do not trust ChatGPT or other AI. Especially not for anything important. Ok to generate an overview, but go to the source (CBP, USCIS,IRS, etc.) and double triple check what is actually the accurate information in your situation. The guides here on VJ are also a good start on all the steps you will have to complete (again, do not trust blindly and go back to the actual form instructions).

    He has to cooperate somewhat. The airline will not take an unwilling passenger. The "send him back" says it all though. Wishing him the best of luck.

    All immigrant visas interviews are ultimately done in Montreal. You might want to search for recent DCF experiences in Canada, but they are not common (something about asking Mexico to approve first? It's blurry in my memory). This is the thread I had in mind .... DCF or not, you might want to get ready to show intent to relocate to the US, as they might want to see evidence at the interview.

    It will depend on the volume of people landing at the same time. Follow the direction of airport staff directing the crowd. After reaching the border agent, the immigrant visa holder will be directed to secondary (where you can usually tag along, unless it's crazy crowded). "Questioned by border agents", well... I've been questioned everytime I enter the US, but it's usually quick and easy. When I immigrated, a couple extra questions about the goods I was importing. Don't stress too much, most people find entry anticlimactic, after the whole process and interview at the consulate/embassy. Best of luck!
