  1. Here is more information directly from USCIS. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-3
  2. If you are not currently living there, it is 12 months. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html
  3. A K-1 is a NON-immigrant visa which means the I-94 expires after 90 days. When an I-94 expires, the visa holder is immediately out of status.....and deportable....as is the case with any non-immigrant visa. Marriage to a US citizen confers no right to remain in the US. By DOS/DHS policy, a K-1 entrant is granted "authorized stay" ONLY after submission of a proper I-485. "Authorized Stay" is not a legal status, but allows the applicant to remain in the US until the I-485 is either approved or denied. This is a DHS POLICY....not law. To fulfill the conditions of the K-1, you must marry within 90 days....but that gives NO right to remain in the US. Even after submitting a proper I-485, the applicant is out of status, but not accruing additional unlawful presence. It is strongly advised to submit a proper I-485 before the 90 days after entry have elapsed to avoid accruing any unlawful presence. This is especially important with the current administration. FYI- Search "spaceage" here on VJ for an example of someone who married after a K-1, yet did NOT file an I-485 within 90 days. That person was apprehended by police and spent weeks in jail.
  4. I don't think you spent enough time there to trigger the need for a police certificate per DOS rules. It was less than 6 months. I don't think there will be an issue.
  5. Omar should be sued for defamation.
  6. ***One comment edited to remove personal information as requested by poster****
  7. The lawless left.......but polls continually show that the majority of the population is in favor of enforcing immigration laws.
  8. That's a good question. Consulates operate in different ways.
  9. The officer who interviewed us wanted to see a continual trail of leases or address evidence from the date of initial I-751 submission until day of interview.
  10. Personally, I would wait to spend the money on a medical exam at this time unless your spouse has citizenship from a non-banned country..
  11. I don't remember this being worded like that in the past either. The wording suggests, to me, a person who was taken out of their birth country at 7 months old requires a police certificate.....odd.
  12. I hope you kept copies. USCIS has been known to lose things.
  13. Typo. I meant paper trail...LOL. My mistake. A continual chain of evidence from date of submission of the I-751 until current date. He wanted to ensure we were still living in marital union.
  14. During our I-751 interview, the officer wanted to see a paper trial of our living together from the time we submitted the I-751 until the day of the interview. He also wanted to driver licenses, bank accounts, signed leases, deeds, etc. Good luck.
  15. This is the full chart for police certificates:
