US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hey guys,

I'm filing for K1 visa as petitioner for my fiance and we are brainstorming honeymoon ideas. Has anyone had any experience or know whether someone with a K1 visa can go on a cruise after getting married to petitioner in USA? I know we would file for green card shortly after getting married but since cruises don't really go through immigration, is it ok for K1 visa holders to go on cruises while waiting for green card? thank you all so much for any help

My fianc had his consular interview scheduled for May 11,2020. We never received an email from the embassy saying that it was cancelled, so he decided to show up to his appointment. Sure enough a consular official told him all routine visa appointments had been cancelled and to email the embassy for another appointment. I emailed the embassy and today I tried using my MRV payment receipt to try and schedule an appointment and it says that it is invalid. Has anyone had this issue?? From my understanding the MRV receipt is valid for one year.

so I guess I can t do anything else but wait, smh.

As I was filling out the I-864, I ran into a huge question.

Im the one who works in my household, but my wife is unemployed and I know that s ok. But we do the taxes every year as Married filing jointly . She s sponsoring her parents to come to the USA and now are to the point of the I-864 and I-864a for me since I m the one with the income.

Question is: On part 6, 24.a, where we put the tax year and amount, does she put $0.00, on her I-864, and do I put the actual amount on my I-864a since I m the one who works?

Also, on part 5, #7 it says If you have siblings, parents, or adult children with the same principal residence who are combining their income with yours by submitting Form I-864A, enter the number here , but no where does it mention Spouse . Since it s mentioned in part 5, #3, is that why it s ok to not put a 1 on #7?

Thank you so much to all who answer!

Hi,

I was wondering if the medical exams that are done for K1 visa have an expiration date? We were scheduled for the end of March before our appointment got canceled, we had done vaccines and medical prior to any closures as well. We have reached out to the embassy and have been given a general answer on they are aware and are looking for a solution, since many are wondering if they will have to pay all of that money again. I follow a lawyer in the Dominican Republic who is working on immigration cases and stated that in a recent visa petition for a US citizen spouse, the medical had expired and they now have to repay to get new ones. I know there's no definitive answer but just wanted to see if anyone knew a little more or if this one scenario was being seen elsewhere. Also would it be possible to get priority on appointment over someone who has not done medical if they are set to expire soon? I called the embassy and their response is we have to wait until the suspension is lifted. Thanks.
