US Immigration from South Africa

Hey Guys,

Cal and Jillian here. We are in the same position ( living together in Vietnam now, Jillian (US citizen) is going back to US Aug/Sept. My partner (Cal) (South African) will be immigrating to USA as soon as possible. We are in the beginning of the process and we are needless to say overwealmed. Is it possible to get married here in Vietnam ( the problem is that because we are not "residents of Vietnam" it seems that it is harder to obtain the international marriage license. We were originally going to do the K-1 Visa, but looking into the best option, and we saw your thread regarding the spousal Visa. We saw on this thread there is A Zoom Marriage in Utah? Any help would be appreciated.

Bit of maybe an odd question, but quick backstory first.. I am a US citizen and my husband is an LPR. We are now living in the US and in the process of bringing my stepson to live with us here. We are currently waiting on our paperwork to clear NVC but trying to get prepared for the rest of the process. My husband is planning to fly back to South Africa when our son goes for his interview, as we really don t want to mail our original documents (it took almost a year to get our marriage certificate from Home Affairs, and we only have one copy). When it comes time to fly into the US, my stepsons mom was planning to bring him to us. There are several reasons for this. We aren t sure my husband would be able to get off work again long enough to make the trip and I can t easily go myself because we have a young toddler as well. She also has friends this side she is planning to visit anyway.

so my question is, is it likely to cause any problems at POE if his mom travels with him? She does have a good history of visiting and leaving well within the visitors timeframe. She also has ties to SA (another child and owns property that side).

Hi everyone so I applied for my I-751 last year and went for my fingerprints in March but it s been a year and still no update or letter in the mail. Can anyone give my any info if they have been waiting so long? I m just scared my mail got lost. Every time I try to phone they just make me speak to a machine and they don t put me through to an actual person. Please help.

TODAY I HAVE SENT IN MY POLICE CLEARENCE AND ALSO MY PASSPORT. IS THIS THE FINAL, PLEASE SOMEONE SHOULD TELL ME

Hi there,

We were under the assumption that my husband did not need( was not required ) to file taxes , we now know we have to.

After my interview at the consular we are required to send them a ---tax transcript--- .

As you know a tax transcript takes around 4 months.

What is the possibility of them accepting a registered CPA letter with the returns the CPA has filed?

How do we get this done quick?
