  2. Immediate Relatives of US citizens (IR-5, for example) cannot have derivatives.
  3. Thanks for the update. Question: Did she ever file an I-751? If not, she needs to get it done asap. Why a DS-160?
  4. The kats better dust off their pink caps........their nemesis is getting stronger each day.
  5. Consulates are not authorized to accept cases when an I-130 has already been filed with USCIS. See my source below. In addition, you are close to a USCIS decision on the existing I-130. Chapter 3 - Filing | USCIS
  6. **2 duplicate/like threads merged. Please do not re-post***
  7. **Zombie Thread locked for further comments***
  8. I think it could go either way. I have seen RFEs at the USCIS level, and I know of one case which was denied after the interview at the consulate. Other members might have thoughts, too.
  9. Have you seen this information? Guyana (state.gov)
  10. Have you checked you spam and trash folders?

  12. As a US citizen you can file an I-130 for your sister now. However, it will be a long process.....like 20 years. Visa numbers are limited for siblings. Those who have priority dates in early June 2007 are just now eligible for visa numbers.
  13. That looks like they want to segregate people instead of promoting inclusiveness. Rules for thee, but not for me?
  14. Waiting is the hard part. Fast, convenient, and inexpensive are not words we see normally in the vocabulary of USCIS and the Department of State.
  15. Because cases are generally processed in the order they were received, and as the late, great @geowrian always said, "USCIS is like a large grocery store. Some lines are just faster than others.". You are overthinking. Try to relax and remember that patience is a virtue in the world of immigration. Good luck. I think you are only a few weeks away, at most. The average Visa Journey reported case is taking almost 9 months at California.
  16. Exactly the same as a K-1. Short visits are allowed during both K-1 and CR-1 processes.
  17. Both the K-1 and CR-1 will take about the same amount of time before you can live in the US. With a CR-1, you can start work immediately after entry into the US with the visa. With a K-1, you would have to enter the US with the visa, marry, file for a Green Card, and wait about 6 months before you can work. Among other reasons, if working sooner is a priority, then I would eliminate the K-1 completely. With a CR-1, you receive the Green Card almost immediately after entry. With a K-1, you could be waiting a year after entry for a Green Card.
  18. The "what if" mental gymnastics can have a negative effect on your health. Have you seen the K-1 flowsheet? It is a good tool which lays out a structured schedule of needed actions.
  19. If asked "Do you plan to marry in the US", do not say something like "Maybe, maybe not". That answer caused a K-1 holder to be denied entry. In fact, that is the only K-1 entry denial that I can remember ever hearing about. Honestly, you are overthinking this. Don't let something like the topic of this thread to draw your attention away from the real place you need to focus on.
  20. That isn't the exact process. You don't marry during a visit. In fact, it is visa fraud to enter the US as a visitor with the intent to apply for a Green card. However, you can visit during the fiance visa process and the spousal visa process. You could, however, marry during a visit, then start the CR-1 process for a spousal visa...but you would have to return to home country.

  22. ***One duplicate topic thread removed. Please do not re-post in multiple forums***
