US Immigration from Moldova

Hello all,

I'm currently in the process of petitioning my fianc for a K-1 visa. She has her interview scheduled in mid-January and assuming all goes well we are hoping she is approved and is able to join me in the U.S. shortly afterwards.

Meanwhile, my company has asked me to take a long-term assignment in the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), which is a U.S. territory near Guam. I normally live in California; the original plan for my fianc and me was to have her come to California (from her home in Europe) where we would wed and eventually apply for permanent resident status and apply for a social security number. Now it looks like I will be in CNMI before my fianc completes her interview and despite CNMI being a U.S. territory, I'm not sure if we are allowed to get married there under the terms of her anticipated K-1 visa. We have 3 options to get her from Europe to either the U.S./CNMI and get married which I've listed below:

1. She travels from Europe to California and stays in California for a few days. Eventually travels to CNMI through Hawaii and Guam. We get married in CNMI.
2. She travels from Europe to CNMI with layovers in Singapore and Seoul. We get married in CNMI
3. She travels from Europe to California and I travel from CNMI to California where we meet. We get married in CA and then travel to CNMI together through Hawaii and Guam.

I would greatly prefer option #1 as this would allow her to move her things into my place in CA and then join me in CNMI without interrupting my work schedule. If we can't do options 1 or 2, then I'd guess we'd have to go with option #3; have me return to California where we can get married there and apply for an SSN before we return to CNMI for the next couple years.

I'd like to get feedback specifically on whether on not we can do option #1 or #2 while meeting our specific goals of fulfilling the marriage requirement (for the K-1 visa) and having her apply permanent resident status and a SSN. I have checked and did see there is a SS office in CNMI so I think it's more a question on whether we are allowed to get married there or not and whether she can travel there directly or is required to go through the continental U.S.

Thank you in advance.

Hello All,

I am petitioning for my fianc , Maria, to apply for a United States K-1 visa for fianc s. The NVC received our approval application in late Nocember and has forwarded the application to the U.S. Embassy in Moldova where my fiance resides. Our welcome e-mail included information on how to pay and prepare for her interview but one requested record of note requested is a police report from every country where she resided for longer than 6 months:

f) DETAILED POLICE CERTIFICATE: Each applicant aged 16 years or over is required to submit a DETAILED police certificate from the police authorities of each locality of the country of the applicant's nationality or current residence where the applicant has resided for at least six months since attaining the age of sixteen. If the Police Certificate shows records, please, provide an English translation.

* Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided for at least 6 months. For information on obtaining police certificates from countries of previous residence please see: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html.

Maria did work in Beijing for 3 years as an international flight attendant. We have tried to follow links on the state department website or reach out to another agencies to get this information but it seems almost impossible. Some people are saying that need more required information from us (which we cannot provide) and others are saying because she was never actually in China for a full 6 months at a time (due to work travel) that she would not need one. Others have stated that because she was last in China more than one year ago that this document is not even available.

I don't find any of the explainations statisfactory and wonder if anyone where has had a similar situation and has some suggested on a process/agency we would use. Time is obviously critical as our window expires in February. Obviously flying to China directly to try and obtain a copy is not possible at the moment.

Best,

Andrew

After 7 months of being stuck at the NVC, our case is finally in "Ready" status at the embassy! I am the American petitioner. Regarding income requirements, I filed my tax returns back in July but my transcripts are still not available. I've called the IRS multiple times and they told me not to refile and they're still working through the backlog of mail. If her interview comes up and I'm still in this position, can I substitute an explanation, 1040, letter of non-filling, and an IRS wage & earning (W2/1099) transcript at her K-1 interview?

Thanks!

The public charge rule has been suspended again.

Good day to everyone!

i am desperately in need of a piece of advice concerning documents for NVC. FINALLY my daughter s case moved to NVC after 7 years of waiting.

The question is about a Household member which is my husband.

From what I understood we need to sign the contract between Petitioner (which is me) and A household member (which is my husband) and it will be Form I-864A.

Should he submit I-864 , Affadavit of Support as well?

How it actually works when the husband is financially supporting the kid in terms of providing documents for NVC?

Maybe some of you have been in this situation....

any advice is highly appreciated !
