Sometimes, an N-400 is what it takes to push an I-751. It is crazy, but that is the case.

Maybe...maybe not. You might be waiting a long time. Good luck.

Have you filed an N-400 yet?

Take my wife's case for example. We filed her I-751 in March of 2019. In May 2019, the status at the changed to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview". The interview, at the local field office, was conducted in Dec 2022 (combo interview after filing an N-400). Service Centers don't schedule and conduct interviews. The local field office does.

Your local field office is the driving factor for I-751s, instead of the service center.

Only you can decide if it was a mistake. However, allow me to inject this: Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.

For DCF, you will need exceptional circumstances. Step # 1 is to contact the consulate and ask them to accept your case.

Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas - VisaJourney

I would forget that attorney. Instead, read and study the guide I linked earlier.

We see inaccurate advice from attorneys a lot here.

There will be no need to prove that. The subject never comes up in adjustment of status interviews. Ask the attorney how many cases have been denied due to applying within 90 days...Her answer will likely be none. ... If there was a 90 day rule, we would tell you so. We are telling you that there is NOT a 90 day rule.

You don't need that attorney for this process.

Within. Once her I-94 expires, she will be out of status and subject to deportation....married or not. However, once a proper I-485 package is submitted, she will be granted "authorized stay" in the US until the I-485 is either approved or denied. Step 1: Marry ASAP Step 2: Follow this guide below: Step-by-Step Guide on Filing an I-130 for a Spouse Inside the US - US Immigration & Visa Guides - VisaJourney

Very bad advice. There is no 90 day rule for USCIS.

The fee will be a $220 immigrant fee which is paid online after the interview.

Get an experienced immigration attorney. You cannot adjust status. This will take precise direction and execution, else you might find yourself stranded outside the US.

Yes.

An I-751 does not require an I-864. Personal Affidavits are NOT required but might be helpful to your case.

Someone needs to go to jail.

Without a proper visa, she won't be allowed to board a flight.

Then, immigration will be difficult for you. Nothing is fast. Have you considered a CR-1? Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation.

Power of Attorney?

If you are both living in the same country, why are you considering a K-1? It would be highly unusual for a K-1 to be issued within a year. It will likely take 18 months or longer. Does she currently have a B2 visa?

You cannot legally file as single if you are married. You can file as "Married Filing Separately" or "Head of Household" if you qualify.
