    Depends on what your goals are. If the goal is to spend some time together, this is a huge help. It means you can meet in Canada, spend time together, and maybe start an I-129f or I-130 petition. Even though she now has citizenship in a VWP country, she is still "from" Brazil. And having no ties to Germany and several denials on her record does not help. She has to be truthful about the purpose of her visit.

    Do you mean photocopies of the actual cards? I would not do that. The statements provide a much better picture of both of you paying household expenses. I would not mail a photocopy of my credit card to anyone; I would be too scared of it getting lost and getting in the wrong hands. The statements are sufficient; they don't need to see the actual cards. And as others have said, just include tax transcripts and forget about the tax returns. Good luck!

    You are going to have to provide her information there, because not doing so would be misrepresentation. Be prepared to explain why you did not disclose that you have a daughter during the K-1 process.

    I'm confused. The screenshot you shared is about adding a newborn to a K-1 application. But it sounds like you moved to the US without your child (without even disclosing that you have a child?) and are now wanting to petition for your child? Can you be more specific about your situation and question? Your message and the screenshot are 2 very different situations.

    I went through the K-1 visa process and AOS during the previous Trump administration, and nothing was really different from previous years. I don't think legal, family-based immigration will be affected much this time. Remember all those immigration fee increases a few years ago? Those were during the Biden administration. I'm not saying any policies are good or bad, but making legal immigration a lot more expensive has probably had a pretty serious effect on some families.

    If you had paid attention, you would have known that the OP is currently living with her partner in Brazil, so this does not apply to their situation at all. Also not relevant for the OP, as they are in Brazil. Your personal experience from a decade ago in the Philippines really does not add any value to OP's questions. OP, glad you decided to go the CR-1 route! Good luck!

    Focus on quality instead of quantity. If she is already in the US, you should have stronger evidence of your life together.

    Video calls don't prove emotional distress caused by separation. Then "financial strain" obviously isn't a valid reason to expedite. That would only leave your single parent struggles and that would make for a very weak case for an expedite request. These requests are not taken lightly; you can not throw whatever you can come up with at them and see what they will go with. You will have to provide strong evidence that shows that an expedite is needed and you are not just tired of waiting like everyone else.

    You can certainly try. I am curious how you are going to prove that your children are already so bonded with their new stepmother that the separation is causing distress. Financial strain is tricky; you are going to have to prove that you are able to financially support the immigrant, so it may not be wise to point out that you are already struggling financially.

    I did the K-1 and would totally NOT recommend it. CR-1 is far superior. It is cheaper in the long run, and the foreign spouse is legal permanent resident upon entry and can actually start a life (work, drive, etc) in the US. If you are already living together, the Utah online marriage would be a very quick and easy way to get married and start the process.
  32. Marieke H
    You think? Or are you sure? It is important to know exactly what you did, so you know what your options are. Please don't make any more big decisions without fully understanding the consequences. Yes, if you are able to visit (on a tourist visa or VWP), you can visit and get married. Then you can start the CR-1 process, go home to finish your studies, and by the time you graduate you will start to get close to having your interview at the consulate.
  33. Marieke H
    So which is it? Did you already withdraw your application? Or are you considering withdrawing? If you have not withdrawn yet, don't. There are ways to lengthen the process so you may be able to delay things until you are ready to move. You seem highly confused about the different processes. You and your partner should BOTH be doing a lot of research to better understand what works best for you.
  34. Marieke H
    Maybe the two of you should get to know each other first, before even thinking about engagement or marriage.

    When she initially entered as a visitor she likely would have been admitted if she had presented a clear plan: "I am entering, to get married, and then I will travel back to Canada on ... while we wait for my spousal visa to be processed." Having proof of responsibilities back home would have helped as well. I agree with others; the spousal visa is far superior. You don't need to get married in the US, you can visit her in Canada and marry there. These denials will not have any effect on her entry when she presents herself at the border with the correct visa for her visit, either a K-1 or CR-1.

    The link you posted is the legit website for registering interview appointments, so I don't believe this is a scam, especially if you have not registered your appointment yet.
