The cases are not linked at this time. They are separate cases. The proper procedure will be to: 1. Hold each case at NVC until they are all there. 2. After they are ALL there, submit documents and pay fees for all the cases. 3. Then contact NVC and the consulate to ask for them to be linked and interviewed together.

Good luck, @Md4764. We're all pulling for your success.

A penny saved is a penny earned. 😄

That still costs more than refiling.

I'm curious. Why pay the extra attorney fee and higher N-336 fee when you can pay much less and receive the very same result?

You would rather request a hearing vs re-filing? Seems, to me, refiling would be quick, easy, and maybe faster. Practical remedy.

Personally, I think the bar was so low last night, that Biden did just enough to stave off the wolves for now.....and I am thrilled!!! Time for replacing Biden is fleeting.

It is unlikely that it will be discussed. The only time I know where there were issues was a case in which the foreign spouse was accused of misrepresentation after making specific statements about adjusting during secondary screening at her POE.

It's important to understand that once you file a proper I-485 package, you will be granted "authorized stay" in the US until the I-485 has been approved or denied. "Authorized stay" is not a legal status, but it prevents you from accruing unlawful presence. After an I-94 expires, you will be out of status, but authorized to remain in the US until I-485 adjudication. Also, be aware of the travel and work restriction when adjusting status.

Your marriage certificate is your legal name change document. You should enter your new legal name (any combination of the names on the marriage certificate) on all immigration forms.

Even the liberal magnifying glasses is focused. Fact check: Biden’s NATO press conference | CNN Politics Fact-checking Biden’s news conference - The Washington Post “As a consequence, working with Mexico, border encounters have gone down over 50 percent. The current level is lower today than when Trump left office.” Biden’s framing is misleading. He is referring to a Department of Homeland Security estimate that the seven-day average of migrant apprehensions dropped more than 40 percent to less than 2,400 encounters per day since he issued an executive action barring asylum at the southern border. " “There are at least five presidents running or incumbent presidents who had lower numbers than I have now later in the campaign.” Biden’s whistling past the graveyard here. According to the presidential ratings tracked by FiveThirtyEight, Biden’s approval rating, 36.8 percent, at this point in his presidency is lower than any other presidents besides George H.W. Bush (36.7 percent) and Jimmy Carter (33.9 percent). Gerald Ford had an approval rating slightly higher. All three lost."

Watching Biden press conference. He just called Harris "Vice President Trump". This is pitiful. Once he can't use the teleprompter, he is lost at times. He is going way off script: "I'm catching hell from my wife".....

The path of least resistance would be to just refile, imo. Just file from inside the US....and don't leave.

Many personnel centers used to, a few years ago, enter a placeholder number instead of a SSN until the spouse received a Social Security Card. Maybe they don't do that now. BTW, when you get old (like me), the combination of Tricare For Life and Original Medicare is, imo, the very best health care coverage available in the country.

Thanks for the clarification. So, even though the time in Mexico is 6 months, it makes no difference.

I think I left the "Preparer" box blank since this was a joint petition. Both spouses are expected to participate in preparation, imo.

I don't understand your issue. I see 2 visits to the US for a total of about 3 months. What am I missing? I assume you are entering the US via the Visa Waiver Program, correct? I don't think, under these circumstances, that your time in Mexico will be seen as time in the US. You're going to be outside the US for 6 months. @Boiler has been around here a long time. Maybe he is familiar with this situation.

Another vote for mother to submit an I-864 and supporting documents as Joint Sponsor.....

***Moved to the China regional forum***

I'm waiting to see how defiant Joe is during the solo press conference tomorrow afternoon.

***Moved to the Philippines regional forum for PI specific question****

At this point, the dems SHOULD be worried primarily about the down-ticket candidates.

Based on the strong language Joe has been using, I don't think there is any chance, right now, he will willingly step aside. I think the 25th is only way to get him out of the way. But doing that will short circuit this elitist, anti-democratic plan to hold a beauty pageant to anoint a replacement. Enacting the 25th gives Kamala the keys and the leverage. With the right VP pick, she might swing a couple of endangered blue states back in her column, but I think her dismal record on the border, her having to defend the Biden/Harris economic policies, and complicity in the Biden cover-up will still spell disaster in November for the dems.

Disregard those instructions. NVC sometimes makes that mistake.

K-1s do not send any documents to NVC. K-1 cases are not documentary approved. For K-1 cases, NVC assigns a DOS case number, and the case is forwarded to the consulate when requested by the consulate.
