1. They failed to mark an "X" in any place. 2. They probably want a DS-5535. 3. An I-134 is not applicable for CR-1/IR-1 cases. Both the primary sponsor and joint sponsors must submit an I-864.

A tier one accepted it? You might get it expedited through the USCIS process, but it will wait at NVC until a visa number is available in 7 or 8 years (maybe).

Excellent questions, my Friend....

Visa number availability cannot be expedited. You just have to wait. Seems you are about half-way there.

Welcome to Visa Journey! There are a LOT of extremely knowledgeable folks around here.

Your best evidence, when living apart, is your marriage certificate and evidence of time actually spent together, as @Daphne . explained. Those other things are examples, not requirements.

^^^^ Please explain this statement....

Please allow me to re-post this in case someone else wants to see some of the differences: 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. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.

You aren't expected to have joint accounts, property, etc for a CR-1. Afterall, most couples are living in different countries. I'm not sure where you got that misinformation. The best evidence is evidence of being together. Many people have opted for a K-1 , then regretted it later.

2022-27066.pdf (federalregister.gov) Table 29 has the entire proposed fee schedule. I-751 will increase from $595 to $1195.... a 101% increase. N-400 will increase only $60

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

Extension letters are a result of USCIS's work-around for their long processing times. The 2-year Green Card extension letters began as 12-month extensions but were modified to the now common 24-month extension letter. The letter will extend the expiration date on the actual card by 24 months. The extension letter is not valid without the expired card along with it. BTW, I-751s are now taking as long as 3+ years at some USCIS field offices.

The only people messing with his heard are those whom he allows to. Good luck. I wish you well.

Some people still change their name. My wife didn't. That eliminated a LOT of hassles.

I fail to see how that is relevant to the legality of your marriage.

If so, why would they wait? We filed our I-751 in March 2019. It took 44 months for approval.

A green card is not a glorified visitor visa. File the I-407. You don't need a special visa to visit.

You should complete an I-407 since you no longer consider yourself a legal resident of the US.

You are worried for no reason. There is no fraud . Marry, adjust status, and go forward with your lives together.

Not completely, no.

Looks like you will be applying under the 5 year rule based on your VJ timeline. You could easily receive an interview date within 3 or 4 months of application.

Until the interview was actually scheduled by NVC, you could have slowed it down. Best case scenario, now, is that the consulate processes the child's case at your interview (although, they aren't supposed to). Good luck.

Exactly. I don't see how all of the following can be true. Therefore, I am unfollowing this thread. Good luck. "Case has been pending since 2018 went through a lot with with ex wife" " I never had issues with my first marriage." " I had the option of filing for VAWA but thought against it "

Do you know there was a pretty recent bust of a Nigerian marriage-for-immigration ring inside the US? The FBI did extensive investigations, and there were prosecutions. That could explain the joint sponsor questions and the separate interviews. Nigerian immigrants are being looked at closely. Prepare for more scrutiny of the first marriage.
