You've been at your job for 4 months, and it will probably be another 6 months or more before your fiancee goes for interview. By then you'll have almost a full year of work behind you. You shouldn't need a co-sponsor. Your income exceeds the poverty guidelines. Your 2014 tax transcript, a history of pay stubs, and a letter from your employer verifying your employment should be sufficient at the time of interview.
I had moved back to the US and only been employed a year at the time my then fiance had his K-1 interview and we were fine without a co-sponsor.

No one will advise you to "Get married in States and play dumb, apply for AOS" as it's fraud, and a breach of this site's TOS to encourage it.
Agree with Penguin. Get married now and start the CR-1 process.

I find the seizing of someone's passport at POE to be highly suspect, but I admit to not having much knowledge of this particular area.
I would jump at the chance to gain citizenship of an EU country. It would open so many doors in terms of where you could live and work.

It's your arrival/departure record from when you go through customs at arrival - I've heard that they've gone electronic with the actual form, so you won't receive a copy - but your passport will be stamped to show you're admitted for 90 days as a K-1.
Just don't get confused and think that the expiry date on the actual K-1 visa is applicable after you arrive. You have to enter the US before the expiry date of the visa, but after arrival the date that matters is the one that customs stamps in your passport when you go through.

Met my now husband when I was doing a semester study abroad in Cork, Ireland. It was the night before my birthday and I was out at a nightclub with a friend. I was very drunk, getting my dance moves on. He came up behind me and started dancing with me. Make-out session followed.
Turns out you can find true love while drunk in a nightclub!

Sorry about all this. There is no Fraud here as far as USCIS is concerned. What you have is a unfortunate situation of a Divorce.
There is nothing to stop her from taking the child or you for that matter but, unfair to the child. If you can't split peacefully with joint custody please try hard for this. If your both childish.... Then be fast and get a Attorney before she does and plat stupid games. What you have is a Simple USA Divorce procedure.
Again, so sorry.

No new passport. He uses his Laos passport until (years down the line) he is able to apply for US citizenship. He will need AP (Advance Parole) in order to be allowed to leave and return to the US while waiting for his green card. Once he has his green card he travels with that and, again, his Laos passport.

Pakistan is a very different story from the Netherlands. And this person has already had their interview.
This whole story smells really fishy.

A practice interview is a good thing but it is a waste of time for the employer and might close a door to a job that would be available when you obtain work authorization. Why go to an interview when you won't be able to start for at least several months.

You wasted your money paying any fees to register your marriage in a US county. If your marriage was legally recorded in Nepal, that's all USCIS cares about - just need to provide your proof of marriage from Nepal.

No personal experience here, but I'd bring the baby and your parents. If things go well, you can feed him a couple of times while waiting and hand him off to your parents while you go back for the interview. I'd just mention immediately to the interviewer that you have a six-week-old there and it's possible he will need his mother at some point if the interview runs long. Or, you might get lucky and have him asleep in a sling or wrap while you're called and they'd hardly notice him.
Diazy, of course immigration interviews are serious, but so is caring for a newborn, especially a breastfed one! I feel like the office should be able to work with the mother. Newborns are unpredictable, but generally happy in their mother's arms. And leaving baby with a bottle of pumped milk is not always possibly if baby is not accustomed to bottles. Anyway, it's not like bringing a rampaging toddler to the office. If you slip baby into a sling or wrap and he naps through the interview they'd hardly know he was there!

All the above applies but to clarify for you, the son, the foreign spouse, and other readers. Having a USC spouse does not grant any immigration benefits or rights to live in the US to a foreign spouse. They did correctly by applying for the K-1 and getting married in the 90 day time frame. But after the marriage they should have filed AOS (adjustment of status) to obtain her green card. Just getting married did nothing to grant her rights to live in the US. Just as a person from another country who comes to the US and marries a USC or has a USC child does not automatically have the right to live in the US legally. There are procedures to follow and paperwork to file and of course money to pay.
Since she remained in the US for more than 365 days after her period of authorized stay she has a 10 year ban which began on the day she left the US. The ban can be overcome but it is unlikely she will get a tourist visa with a. an overstay and b. a USC spouse. She no longer qualifies to use the VWP. There are now two options: 1. File for the CR-1 visa, which will be denied, then file the I-601 waiver for the overstay. or b. serve out the 10 year ban.

Wow wow wow. Such a tough road. Congratulations!

Put the address you send the I-129F petition to, OR put no addresses at all. They are not a requirement. They just want a statement.

To sum up:
Option 1: Get married now, in the US (nothing illegal about that) - stay here and apply for Adjustment of Status. This is the quickest process. You'd probably get the green card within 6 months. You can apply for an Employment Authorization Document at the same time, which is usually approved within 90 days. You can also apply for Advance Parole at the same time, which allows you to leave the country and come back (you need this permission, otherwise any time you leave while your adjustment of status is pending, they will count you as having "abandoned" your application). Upside: No time apart - overall a quick process. Downside: you're not going to have this permission in time to travel for Christmas, so basically you'd be stuck here.
See the guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2
Option 2: Get married now, in the US (nothing illegal about that) - leave and go back to Canada. Start the process to get a CR-1 spousal visa. You can visit while all that paperwork is processing, but you won't have the actual visa for over a year most likely. Upside: you're a green card holder upon entry after getting the visa - no need to adjust status after you arrive - you can get to work and travel right away. Downside: takes a long time.
See the guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1
Option 3: Become engaged. Go home to Canada. Star the process to get a K-1 Fiance visa. You can visit while all that paperwork is processing, but could still be nearly a year before you get the visa. The visa is a one-time-use thing - you enter the US and have 90 days to get married. Then you have to file for Adjustment of Status in order the get the green card. With this too you can apply for Employment Authorization Document and Advance Parole. About 6 months to get the green card, but would likely get the EAD/AP within 90 days. Upside: Usually quicker than the CR-1. You won't be spending your first year of "marriage" apart (this matters to some people - it would have mattered to me, personally) - you'll just be engaged the whole time. Downside: still takes a long time, and those first few months in the US being unable to work or travel while you wait for EAD/AP can be very tough on people.

If I were you I'd take Option 1. If you entered the US without planning on getting married and staying, then you haven't broken the law. Lots of people object to this "back door" being available, when they've followed the conventional route and are waiting months to be together, but that doesn't change the fact that the option IS open and IS legal. But it's up to you if you're willing/able to spend the next few months unable to leave the US while waiting for Advance Parole.
