I apply 2021 K1 visa It was rejected, It was rejected, as the consul asked me why I did not marry her, 2023 I married her and applied for a marriage visa, in 2024 November 11 was my interview date, the consul focused on how to get to know each other and I told the truth and the same answer k1 , I think the age difference is the reason, because there are 28 years between us. After the interview, the consul gave me a blank paper with an administrative procedure, and until now my case is still rejected. Is it possible to negotiate?

He asked me:

How did you know her?

How many times have you met?

Where did you get married?

How did her children and your family react?

Do you have mutual friends on Facebook?

what do you do, where do you live

What is Similarities and differences between you ?

Why did the consul refuse your engagement visa?

How old are you How old are you and how old is your wife?

How old is her daughter? Is she engaged?

How old are her children?

Do you have a problem having children?

Finally he asked me about the conversations and I gave them to him and then I thanked him and left.

In the process of the application. Why do I see on some websites saying like 100 pieces of evidence? Do they mean pages, or does each photo count as 1 piece and I can put like 4-5 per page?

We've been talking for a year and just got married in Thailand. Now it's 13 months total. We don't live together or share any accounts.

All we have are plenty of photos of time spent together, itineraries, and ubereats receipts. Is that ok?

I'm wondering if this is legal, as if it is not I will cease communication with them. About two weeks ago I spoke to an immigration lawyer who said he could find me a join-sponsor for a "small fee" as I'm having trouble finding one for my marriage in California.

I'm bringing a girl in from abroad, I am a U.S. citizen but broke my back not too long ago and am in the process of figuring out if I qualify for SSDI etc. so thought in the mean time I'd get married but I have a very small family, I'm left to a couple of aunts I haven't spoken to in 30+ years so suddenly showing up asking "hey will you sponsor this random girl in for me?" may not be looked upon favorably.

So as I heard the immigration lawyer tell me this, I felt a rush of relief but the more I think about it I am worrying if it's legit / legal etc. If it's a standard practice then great, if it's sketchy I'm back to square one unfortunately. Thanks for looking!

Hello,

So soon after I arrived on a K1 visa, I applied for SSN on my maiden name before we got married. When I went back to the SSN office to change my last name to my married one, they said I cannot as I need the AOS first to be done. Is this correct? Can I still add my SSN with my maiden name as proof in the AOS package? Joint bank account is also on my maiden name because they will not change it unless my SSN shows my married name. My husband added me to his medical insurance and they used my married last name, same on the rental lease.

I guess I'm just worried as some stuff are under my maiden name and others under my married name, is this okay to use?

I am planning to file Form I-130 and Form I-485 online for my wife. I am a U.S. citizen. How should I submit Form I-693? Can I wait to submit it until I receive a Request for Evidence (RFE)?
