I really hope you are joking. You do realize he practically doubled the cost of the Adjustment of Status right?

The only thing that's worrisome is neither candidates have good platforms on immigration. Trump is being to restrictive and I know Biden won't be restrictive enough (concerning illegals and completely open border). Wish there were a third candidate😑

I hope you make a whole lot of money because I make a considerable amount and I struggle to prove my Fiancée will not be a public charge

This is not a time for a 3rd candidate. Time for that will come. Right now, voting for a 3rd party candidate is basically voting for DJT. Unless you want to vote against immigrant interests. Anyways- let's not digress.

 

This thing of K1 vs CR1 will never end, so you better pray AILA lawsuit goes through.

I’m sorry but what’s the point of posting this? People are pretty desperate right now and contacting your congressman is something we are entitled to do. Will it work? Probably not. But I would think this community more than anyone would understand what so many of us are going through, instead of going “well actually...” and getting caught up in semantics (even if they are relevant)

And that is why i said here people not to be surprised if the petition doesn't go through. But obviously people will catch feelings about it. 

[Unlockable 7,314]

People, 

 

Let's keep this topic civil and productive. We know emotions and run high during these types of discussions. Please do not derail the thread.

 

 

Mod hat off...

 

I have mentioned this before in another thread a week ago of the same topic about making the K1 mission critical. The reason why the K1 gets put on hold for the time being is for one, as @Lucky Cat mentioned, by law a fiance is NOT an immediate relative. And for two, anything can happen before the beneficiary gets married and AOS to make them a permanent resident. Meaning a K1 recipient could end up not getting married at all. Or the get married but abandon their status and return home. Or the AOS is denied for the K1 reciepient. So the risk of issuing the K1 is that much higher than those of other family based visas. This is simply an explaination on how the government views things. It is so people can have a better understanding of some decision making processes. It also helps people come up with solutions that can be bargain with. For example, if you understand that K1 applicants are high risk, maybe a person can petition that the K1 category be processed at limited capacity ( for those who were near the end of the process) until things are back to normal/

 

But writing and calling political figures to express your concerns and desires for change are a right and people are free to do so. There may be a movement that will put the K1 back on track. All information is helpful and useful.

Look if you don't agree with the post fine. But don't sit there and tell us not to do something. So you mean to tell me a professional athlete should be able to get in but not my fiancée? I'm sick and tired of hearing CR-1 IR-1 people saying that our Visas don't matter. Go to another forum if you don't like it.

 

K Thanks 🤬 

A lot of us here that are CR1/IR1 have spent the money and gone thru the K1 and denied and had to go CR1

i personally don't think K1 visa doesn't matter and I closely followed the USCIS guidelines and spent a month with fiancee family before applying (when it said all i had to do was meet in person)

All of us have spent a lot of money and regard our relationships as real and want to have the same consideration 

so,  sorry for all going thru this at this very hard time

please know that if any need positive reinforcement , you have it from me (and others here)

don't give up

and be happy

 

and on serious side, congressmen do not control what is done by immigration/  they are only suppose to make the laws and rules (i was told this by my Senator who did BTW write a letter to embassy for our 3rd interview)
