Not if OP's child is over 21.  The wait times are comparible and both about 7 years.

Yes You are right, that's is why I'm trying to understand. please   edsperfect could you give more details?

just to understand, in the moment your wife file her daughter petition wa she a resident and now she became citizen? if this is the case she should send a letter to USCIS or call, because her daughter became an immediate relative and there is no waiting times for this visa ( there is a visa available to her) it will shortened a lot the whole process

They did not start a cr1 visa process, but a "regular" adjustment of status based on marriage to a USC. Perfectly fine because the immigrant entered legally/with inspection. They may be asked about why the marriage took place after 90 days - but it should not be a problem as they are now an a different, but still legitimate path.

This was a cr1 process ( see i-130 form) , with petition with concurrent AOS. But the important thing is that your answer to the question you gave is the same answer that i said. Nothing to be worried but keep in mind and answer.

You guys are confusing this a little bit. The OP is already in the US, thus not filing for a visa. The i130 petition for alien relative can be filed for an individual inside the US (together with AOS) or outside the US (with aim of obtaining an immigrant visa).

They got marry after 90 days, so they let the K1 visa expire. They are fine, they started a new ordinary Cr1 process. But there are a lot of probabilities that the question about the K1 expiration will appear. So they have to be prepared to answer this question in a satisfactory way and in like many other questions their approval will be based on their answers to all the questions . So why are you confused?

That's for a US doctor for AOS.

Did you try it? because i typed  republica dominicana and appear a lot of doctors there

f.e.

Medical fees are not regulated, so each doctor charges varies. You need to locate the doctor an contact him. there is a long list there

find a doctor

 

I have a similar question.

I already have a ten-year tourist/business visa which means I can go to American for short stay.

Right now I live outside US with my husband and I have a pending CR1, waiting to get approved so we can move back to America. 

So if I have a legitimate reason to visit America for tourist/business intention, and can provide necessary documents(like company invitation letter, flight return tickets etc) to prove it to the custom officials, would I still be denied at the border?

of course you can, but is a kind of lottery based on the decision of the immigration officer at airport. as you said you should bring enough documentation. sometimes they just ask and let you get in

yes you can apply for a K1 visa and if you meet all requirement then you will be approved. For sure you need to think in a good answer if questions about your previous petitions shows up and evidences of your bona fide relationship. 

wish you luck

same-sex-marriage is a law approved by the Supreme Court of Justice. So no matter what the government says this is the law and i don´t thing any USCIS employee would take this risk, that could imply the lost of their career and for sure impacting USCIS credibility and allowing you to start a legal process that you will win.

I know this is very stressful but the only way  to know the reason is asking USCIS, or wait for the explanatory letter and then you will be able to take actions. Before that you cannot do anything of course it could be a mistake and that is why is so important to know the true causes for this denial.

After that you will have a month to take actions based on the reasons for the denial. Providing additional information or correcting the cause that conduct your visa to a the denial

wish you luck hope you solve this situation soon

ok you dont have to worry because after your K1 expiration,  you started a Cr1 visa process concurrently. For sure they will ask you why you didnt get marry in the time frame required. if you both live together and are in love, for sure you only need to answer the true. is important that you as a couple talk about this answer in a way to avoid any inconsistency.

Probably they will ask you why are you visiting USA. is good if you have information of your conference and an invitation letter. and say you are going to stay 3 more days as a tourist. Maybe they will ask you who is paying for your expenses during those days. and where ( Address ) where are you going to stay those days.

 

Hi all, 

 

I'm new to VisaJourney 

 

My boyfriend and I currently both live in the United States, but he has to go back to his home country because his visa is expiring. I am a U.S. citizen and he is not. We are considering getting married. Would it change the process significantly if we married abroad vs. marrying in the U.S.?

 

Thanks in advance! 

You are both in USa, so you can marry and then file the petition, no waiting time. If you go abroad. Then you have to wait till the end of the process to live together. Only will be allowed to visit you without the intention of staying.

Isn't that visa fraud though?

 

How can some people come in on a tourist visa and get married then file for AOS and others have to go through the CR-1 visa? Is the CR-1 only if you marry overseas?

 

nop, reading what they wrote, they were preparing their K1 and something wonderful happened. so they decided to get marry before. she did not come with the intention to stay

Thanks for a great answer! Just wondering though...

 

How long could i possibly delay moving to the US after getting approved? Let's just say that it took 10 months for our visa to go through;

Would I have to move straight away, or is there a grace period to let us being able to plan and execute the move? 

After the immigration visa is approved this visa will be valid for 6 month. so you need to enter during this time

in my own opinion you can sign your new job and ask uscis for the correction. Your allien number will not change. Do you have your SSN already? after the EAD this is the second most important document to show, you will be asked for it

i am not sure i got you!

are you preparing you I130? commonly you add a cover letter with the name of the form and a list of documents attached.

you are right each case is different from others some of them are holded on the consular office.

I understand what I'm describing you is the administrative process. They will return all you case to uscis. and they will contact you after that.

Thnkz for replaying but it says nothing just wait

This is because they found any issue, like some information that not match, or something like that. they are going to send the case to USCIS to review it again and they will send a notification of deny with it explanation, normally can be answered and add additional documents  in one or 2 month. after that they check and if they considered that the missing information is fine they contact you for a new interview. it is something long time consuming but there is still a hope.

Did you win the lottery ? I am not sure if a got you but you should fill all the information you have, your works and your education because this is not a job search. this more like to know about you. If you have a Hight school diploma, then your write it down and say ot in an interview. 

Commonly all this details are given to the petitioner in a letter where they say the explanation and is when you can do the proper things

if you are planning to work, then you should consider that after your arrival, and after get marry ( before 90 days), you should file your AOS, you can file for your work authorization at the same time, but you should add approximately 3 month to receive your ead. but you will be allowed to work before your Approval is status

how long she will be in USA?. this process is very time consuming. So probably she will be in Argentina by the time she needs to send additional information

you have the option to check in your city the affordable health plans they have. Sure this people give you the best orientation https://www.healthcare.gov/
