US Immigration from Chile

Hi guys, filling the I-130 form we came upon this part, my question is;

I'm from Chile and I've visited my husband in the US under ESTA 5 times throughtout the span of 5 years, each time I've stayed with him for close to 3 months (under ESTA Im allowed to visit without a visa for up to 90 days). So I'm confused if that equals to 'living together' as I usually just go during my summer to spend my break with him (I'm aware thats tourism), then I head back to go to college in Chile.

However, this last visit (which happened from december 2019 to february 2020) we closed on a house and my name is on the title too, so I'm wondering how that affects this part of the form. If some of you experienced this or something similar I d really appreciate some feedback.

Thank you for reading

Hello, as we're gathering the documents to file the I-130 petition we realized that what we have is a marriage license not a marriage certificate.

We got married in a courthouse and received the marriage license in the mail a couple of days after the wedding. It shows the information that the judge that married us put regarthing the date of the wedding and at the bottom was signed by the County Clerk with the date it was recorded. It has a golden seal.

We'd really appreciate some info, specially from fellow couples that had a TX wedding, as we already had a mental breakdown over this

So, my wife's ir1 visa interview was supposed to be tomorrow... But she received an email today saying that for unavoidable circumstances her interview has been rescheduled for September 25. That's a lot later than we expected! She tried to reply asking for an earlier date but they just sent a confirmation of the new interview date.

Is there any way to expedite the case? Should we ask for an expedite through the NVC or directly with the embassy?

On the Santiago embassy website it says they are conducting emergency interviews for special circumstances. I have no reason to belive that they are suspending interviews now, simply there's another reason for the reschedule.

The reason why we want an expedite is because I have a new job starting mid September. Luckily it's a remote job, but the idea is that we're basically settled in the US when I start. Is this a valid reason?

Hello!

I am scheduled for an interview in three weeks at the US consulate in Guangzhou, China. This afternoon I got a call from someone on the consulate saying my dad's name on the DS-260 and my marriage certificate don't match my dad's name on my birth certificate. And indeed, I checked and they don't match (it's a very long story, but my dad refers to and writes his surnames in a particular order but they are legally, aka on his IDs and on my birth certificate, in a different order). This is entirely my fault and I am looking to fix it. I can get my marriage certificate amended to reflect the correct name, but I won't be able to do it in time for the interview. With COVID delays, it would take about six weeks to get the certificate re-issued and then extra time for my husband to send it from the US to China. The person I spoke to did just say I can mention the errors (on the marriage certificate and the DS-260) in the interview if I can't correct the mistake in time, but I'm really worried it'll be an issue. I'm also going to try calling the consulate again tomorrow to let them know I am planning on getting it amended but it won't be ready in time.

Has anyone been in a situation like this before? I've seen threads on people talking about mistakes on the DS-260 and even birth/marriage certificates, but nothing on mistakes on two of them and an interview already scheduled

Thank you in advance!!

Hi,

My wife from Chile arrived on a B2 visitor VISA after she as here 4 months we got married and I am now filing I-485 and I-130 forms to change her status to permanent resident.

Can she file I-765 to apply for a permission to work while the application is in process?

In the I-765 instructions I see entries for K1 and K2 visa changes.

But not her particular status change from B2 to resident.

Thanks Martin
