Anything faster than K1?

[lloy0076 6]

Just as a general note, whilst it might be true that there are no appeals when a VISA is denied, it is possible to argue that the denial itself was invalid. Usually, this is because the potential immigrant (the non-USC) says something they shouldn't have; apparently, a typical instance of this is if the sponsee "admits to fraud" because that's what any typical English (or other) speaker might answer, but the law might argue something else (in layman's terms, something like "that which happened is not applicable to that clause in the INA".)

I discovered that one treats any USCIS officers politely, and when answering questions that might establish one's relationship with one's partner, answer truthfully and fully. When answering LEGAL questions - especially if they're fishing for anything legal in one's past - the best answer is "please ask the lawyer."

You think you have a grasp of the process yet you’re conflating USCIS IO with consular officers in US embassies. 
 

And embassies have local staff members who are able to translate if the applicant’s English is lacking.

I'm not sure what the purpose of `You think you have a grasp of the process yet...` is - apart from attempting to grandstand.

Nothing you've said indicates that USCIS or a consular office is able to make a ruling that is contrary to the INA, or to those who are performing work related to that act or the immigration process no matter which part of the US government they work for.

K1's expire, that is the issue, so they return them and some time later the Applicant is told it has expired, much simpler for them.

Thanks Paul, I definitely will. The question is how to kill time from now to then, which can well be 10-12 months at least. Long distance relationship is hard!!!

I know it can be a real pain.  We talked at least once a day and I made trips to see her in the Philippines or met up in Hong Kong.  Even after we were married we didn't live together full time until for almost 2 months until we went to Mexico.

You can't bring a lawyer to the embassy interview. 

 

Only applicants with appointments will be admitted into the U.S. Embassy. Due to space constraints we are unable to allow third parties, including friends, employees, or attorneys, to accompany applicants to interviews. Minor children (under 18 years of age) may be accompanied by a guardian adult, and disabled applicants needing assistance may bring an escort. Petitioners of family-based IV applicants may attend the interview but are not required to do so.

It is still, nonetheless, best to leave legal questions to legal experts; anyway, I hope the applicant's case goes well regardless.
