  1. It is not relevant to approval, other than the fact they received you petition.
  2. After marriage, you cannot legally file as single. Depending on your circumstances, you would file as "Married Filing Jointly", "Married Filing Separately", or "Head Of House Hold". If filing jointly, you must show both you and spouse's world-wide income. If filing jointly, foreign spouse must have either a SSN or ITIN. For a foreign spouse, you simply list the income. Be aware that there are certain exclusions for some foreign income. There is also FBAR requirements to consider in some cases. For those reasons, I suggest consulting a well-qualified tax advisor...especially the first year after the foreign spouse enters the US. Good luck.
  3. F-1 is a non-immigrant visa. How do you get past that?
  4. An I-129F marked for a spouse will be closed administratively. It MIGHT speed up the I-130, but you do NOT want a K-3 to be issued. A CR-1 is far, far superior.
  5. Have you asked her to join us here? We would like to share some valuable information with her.
  6. No. Your I-864 obligation ended for the ex when she became a USC.
  7. OK. Great. Now, for the big question which might be asked the interviewing officer: ..... Is it normal, in your country, for a person your age to marry an older woman with 3 children? How will you answer that?
  8. Are your fiance and children same religion as you? Same cultural background?
  9. The best way to combat red flags is to spend a LOT of time together after marriage (if seeking a spousal visa). Any chance the family would re-locate to your country?
  10. How many of those children are living at home? I see the CO asking some tough questions.
  11. You have 60 days to get a VA driver's license as a new resident.
  12. New to Maryland Information - Pages "Welcome to Maryland! How to obtain a driver's license or identification card New residents to Maryland have sixty days in which to obtain a Maryland driver’s license. Commercial drivers must transfer their commercial driver's license (CDL), within 30 days. Please click here for more information on the Maryland commercial driver’s license. For those new to Maryland customers seeking non-commercial licenses, please refer to our REAL ID Lookup tool for required identity and residency documentation and instructions prior to making an appointment. An out-of-state license must be a valid license or a license expired for less than one year. The license cannot be suspended. If you are exchanging an out-of-state license that has been expired for one (1) year or more, you are required to take the knowledge and skills tests in addition to the vision test. You will need your out-of-state license(s), if you do not have the license in your possession, you will need to present a certified driving record from the licensing agency. You must pass a vision test. New Maryland residents must obtain a Maryland driver’s license within 60 days. If licensed for less than 18 months, you will be issued a Maryland provisional license. You will be asked to surrender your out-of-state driver's license before you can obtain a Maryland one."
  13. Maryland Driver's License - Pages
  14. This is inaccurate. New residents of Maryland have 60 days to get a DL. There is no such thing as an international driver's license.
  15. How old are you? I know she is 10 years older?
  16. I doubt any of those can be done outside the US.
  17. It is not a technical issue. He is NOT domiciled (residing) in the US. He needs to show compelling evidence that he will relocate to the United States.
  18. Option 1. You could call and request they mail you an ADIT stamp if you need evidence of status. Option 2. Schedule short notice refundable tickets. Call USCIS for an emergency appointment.
  19. I have been blasted by some in the past..... I didn't consider your post as one of those....😃
  20. ESTA = visitor. In most states, you become a new resident when you take any action to reside there. The rules are different for visitors and residents. As @Mike E stated, each state has its own DL laws.
  21. The moment you enter the US via a CR-1, you are authorized to work inside the US. Taxes are the only consideration which comes to mind. Good luck.
