    One of the biggest questions commonly asked. I pursued a K1 back in 2013, but processing was way different back then and we determined it was better for us then, if we did it again, we would most likely pursue a spousal visa. Other factors that are not immigration related may be involved such as: what country is the perspective immigrant from, are they free to travel to a place where they can legally marry easily; same sex couples in a country that does not recognize those unions; the perspective immigrant's life and how easily they can pick up and move to the US; etc. Overall, the CR1/IR1 is a far superior visa overall to the K1, @Crazy Cat has a comprehensive list he can post if he sees this, processing times change all the time, and a K1 may be a few months faster, but in the end as you stated, if your plan is to start a life together, getting married now is a much bigger step toward that goal than getting engaged, and the pursue the immigration stuff afterward. Good Luck!

    I would just get on with the process using your current name on your British passport. Once the EAD/AP/GC are received, you can change the name. The main reason I suggest this is to not add complications to the Mass. DL clerks. Good Luck!

    The paper form is fairly clear, they would choose option 1. Reentry Permit 1. I am a lawful permanent resident or conditional permanent resident of the United States, and I am applying for a reentry permit. After that, they can ignore all the other items in Part 1, and go right to Part 2. The online system should be similar, but I don't know for sure. Good Luck!

    I would start by reviewing this guide. If your child is still a minor, you might have to deal with custody issues back in SA, but from an immigration standpoint, you start with an I130. Good Luck!

    Depends on the politics of the leadership. The centrist/leftist seem to be able to maintain control for the moment, so nothing anytime soon.

    Who could have predicted that relying on intermittent power would actually be a bad idea? Britain’s “Tight Days” Are a Warning: Net Zero Means Blackouts The United Kingdom just admitted what common sense has been saying for years: when you blow up your power plants, don’t be surprised when the lights go out, according to a Breitbart report last week. Britain’s national grid operator is warning of “tight days” for electricity this winter, meaning they may not have enough power to meet demand. Their backup plan? Import more energy from Europe, as if cloudy, still weather won’t hit the continent at the same time. This is what happens when governments destroy reliable energy systems in pursuit of climate virtue signaling. The UK’s left-wing leaders are dynamiting coal plants, strangling North Sea gas production, and betting everything on wind and solar… energy sources that fail exactly when you need them most. https://www.powerthefuture.com/britains-tight-days-are-a-warning-net-zero-means-blackouts/

    It is fairly simple, follow the instructions by NVC and contact them letting them know you are still interested in pursing the family based visa, so the case gets unlocked at NVC. Then make sure you touch the case (log in at least once in a year to keep it active. Good Luck!

    Wouldn't things like family members (minor children) listed living in their home country, or work or school commitments be examples of ties? I know there is no ability to add documents such as property ownership or things like that, and many people applying may not have work, school or minor children to list, but it does seem common that decisions are often made before any interview, so the DS160 information seems to be important.

    Just to be clear on nomenclature, no one gets an "original" BC, the issuing agency will only provide a "certified copy" (usually stamped or embossed by the issuing agency) which many also refer to as an "original" document. Heck, in many cases an "original" paper copy may not even exist anymore if it was transferred to a digital "original" That said, yes, you need a certified copy of the BC. Good Luck!

    I would argue it is more about how the DS160 is filled out showing ties to her home country. Many B2 visa applications seem to be decided well before the 1-2 minute interview. To the OP, yes, she can apply and she should be truthful to both the CO and if the visa is issued to the CBP officer at the PoE. Pay attention to how she fills out the DS160 and make sure she has evidence of her ties to her home country. Good Luck!

    Moved this to the RUB forum as consulate changes are pretty common here, so answers may help (left link in original location)

    A trend? I cannot remember if I posted this here, but here is an earlier example of a similar situation.
