Getting Through CBP
Lemonslice replied to valinor's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
I remember an other one where the consulate had missed a prior criminal conviction. Long, long, time ago. It is very rare. However, I would plan to get married and adjust status as soon as possible. I would not want to be out of status these days. -
Maybe you could travel elsewhere with her? Showing that she can afford to travel abroad and respect the terms of other visas/countries entry and exit requirements can be helpful. Go to Canada, Western Europe, Japan... or to a country where she does not need a visa (Barbados is fun!).

How/why do you think they could speed up the process? --- My answer: most probably not. Maybe, in very particular situations. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=476098 It can help others provide appropriate answers. --- Edit: looking at your history, it seems that you have sent your i-130 less than 10 months ago? If so, just be prepared to wait some more.

Indonesian Passport and Green Card Holder
Lemonslice replied to Gabriela Gaghana's topic in Asia: South
Always best to go to the source. See: https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/short/novisa.html and https://www.evisa.mofa.go.jp/index -
Amazing and wonderful men do not abuse others. He might have some qualities, but he's not a good man. He already made you lose years of your life. Take back your life. Build it back, one step at a time, to your happy place. You survived him, you are strong (even if it doesn't feel like it today) and will be able to do great things. Is there a good friend or family member who could be there for you now?

This person was abusive to you. You recognize that you are not good at protecting yourself. Here is what I would tell my little sister, or my best friend: Please RUN away from him. A fiancé visa would have put you in a very dependent situation where an abuser is going to abuse you. He has already shown you who he is, believe him. ---- Take the time to heal. You will find someone respectful, loving, and nice to you. A few good reads: https://www.thehotline.org/identify-abuse/ Why does he do that? (pdf)

Also, it's not compulsory to become a citizen. If one chooses that path, then I feel they should make the efforts to show it's important to them. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with keeping their LPR (and keeping those documents current), or delaying the citizenship process until they have time to care.
