Except VJ history says otherwise.

It happens infrequently, but it does happen.

Wife's new DL arrived in 8 days......must be a new record...LOL.

This just popped up again for me: [[Block new_topics_2019 is throwing an error]]

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 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 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 K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-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. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

I've not seen it stated like that. However, Visa Journey history has shown that there is a risk as numerous couples have been denied at the interview for "being too married" for a K-1. Each couple has to weigh the risk and the possible consequences. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Put current date of form submission.

Enter today's date.

That is working inside the US. You could be removed and banned for that.

A new voter and I just returned home from our polling place!! Woo Hoo!!!

Yes they can. You don't have many options here since you are now on their radar screen. You are in serious danger of losing your visa. I would exit the US, then remain outside for an extended period of time.

I thought Biden said it was time to lower the temperature regarding the vile rhetoric. Seems Harris has escalated it quite a bit. Are they trying to get Trump killed?

Correct.

Technically, a person can be fined or jailed....but I have not seen a single case where that happened.

I assume she didn't misrepresent herself as to the purpose of her visit at the border. A person cannot enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status. That is fraud. File the I-485 prior to expiration of the I-94. Include a copy of the I-130 receipt. Once a proper I-485 is filed, she will be granted "authorized stay" until the I-485 is approved or denied.

Not an issue which would affect Naturalization. Deportation? I've never heard of anyone deported or fined for failure to file a timely address change. Note: All sponsors are required to mail an I-865 to update after address changes, too.

Some consulates are just slow. You have notified both USCIS and the consulate. Nothing more you can do. Nothing more needs to be done. Don't over think it.

Dr. Phil is speaking at the Trump rally in MSG. I am surprised.

No, W-8 is nothing like a 1040.
