    OK. Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, and Tourist Visas****

    You can't delete it. I'll move it to the correct area. From what status? K-1 ?

    I cannot name a single member who was denied due to the debts reported on the I-485. Why are you posting this in the spousal visa forum??
  4. Crazy Cat
    There are a LOT of accounts which are cleared of comments after being reported as spam accounts...but they remain active, it seems.

    I have no doubt that is true. But, I know of cases which were not allowed leniency. I have added as much as I can to this subject, and I do not wish to bicker. So, I am backing out. Cheers!! Good luck, OP. I hope you have a smooth journey.

    I guess it depends on whether the agent just issues a warning or a bar. I don't recall exactly how it was handled in the cases I mentioned.

    There is no set number of days. All it takes is a CBP officer to say she has visited too often. It is very subjective. Every frequent visit increases the risk of suddenly being told "Entry denied. Come back when you have a proper visa for living in the US". Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut definition of "too often". As far as US immigration is concerned, you can visit her whenever you want without consequences.

    It is completely legal to visit the US during the immigration process. Many spouses visit the US after filing an I-130. However, every entry is subject to CBP discretion. There have been Canadian spouses denied entry due to too-frequent visits. Short visits are better. I would not advise 6-month visits. That could be interpreted as living in the US. Strong ties and convincing CBP that she will return are critical. Good luck.

    One option is to immediately file the additional I-130s. Then, immediately request an expedite for them at USCIS. Then contact NVC and try to hold your wife's case there until the children's cases get there.

    Congratulations!!!! You did it!!!!! It only gets better from here!!!

    The first step is to contact local consulate and inquire if they will accept the case....If they agree, you are "off to the races"!!!!!! Good luck.
  12. Crazy Cat
    That is what I think. I tried pulling the timelines, but I couldn't pull just DCF cases. I'll try again later.

    A spousal visa (as compared to adjustment of status) would mean immediate ability to work inside the US, immediate ability to travel outside the US, immediate Green Card, and faster eligibility to file for US citizenship.
  14. Crazy Cat
    Visiting during the immigration process is perfectly legal (at the discretion of CBP).
  15. Crazy Cat
    A spousal visa (through DFC or otherwise) is far, far superior to adjusting status.....far superior.
  16. Crazy Cat
    I know it is very consulate dependent, but have you seen any recent DCF process times? I can't seem to mine that data in the timeline section.
  17. Crazy Cat
    DCF is very consulate specific, and it normally takes only a few months ..not 16.. A normal spousal visa would take about 18-24 months.
  18. Crazy Cat
    Seems you are possibly seeking instructions to bypass the long legal immigration route. If so, that could be seen as a plan to misrepresent your entry. A better route might be to apply for an IR-1 spousal visa under the DCF route after your wife has a need for short time job relocation. That way, you would be a Green card holder as soon as you enter the US with a valid spousal visa.
  19. Crazy Cat
    I know.
  20. Crazy Cat
    Agree.
  21. Crazy Cat
    I don't think @SalishSea is suggesting the OP scan the certified copy.
  22. Crazy Cat
    You are a US citizen. He is an immediate relative of a US citizen. Consulate officers, by law, must assume that anyone (especially an immediate relative) who applies for a B2 visa has intent to immigrate illegally. The number one reason for visitor visa denials is lack of strong ties to home country. If his DS-160 can adequately show very strong ties to home, then maybe the CO will approve. I have my doubts, but he is free to apply.
  23. Crazy Cat
    If eligible, you can (and should) file under the 5 year rule. Less paperwork, easy application.
  24. Crazy Cat
    Her new legal name is any combination of the names on the actual marriage certificate. The certificate is a legal name change document. Should start using the name she wants on EVERYTHING from now on.
  25. Crazy Cat
    Sounds like it has nothing to do with USCIS.
