    Your response to the RFE clearly was insufficient, so filing an I-290B is pointless as this is not a USCIS error. Just refile the I-485 as soon as possible. And I agree, it would be good to hire professional help to make sure your application is complete this time.

    They will need to get an exit permit (and likely pay a fee) from the FRRO.

    Instead of filing a complaint, it might be useful to thoroughly review what you submitted because there's obviously something missing or unclear in what you provided. With USCIS, you have to be very clear and spell things out for them. If you overwhelmed them with too many documents, they probably could not find what was really needed in the pile of fluff.

    The 90 days are not a try before you buy. By then, you will already have signed statements that you intend to marry each other, the immigrant fiancé will have packed up their live and left friends and family behind. You will have to be very serious by then. If the immigrant fiancé shows up at POE stating that they are just going to see how it goes and then decide if they are going to marry, they will be put on the next available flight home. The 90 days are to get settled in the US, make marriage arrangements, get married, file AOS.

    Can you post a (redacted) copy of Parts 2 and 3 of your I-290B? It sounds like your information there is insufficient. I agree. I normally tend to tell people that the immigration process is pretty straightforward and easy, but looking at OP's history there seem to have been several issues that they were unable to resolve. A professional looking at things may be what is needed here.
  26. Marieke H
    Depends on what your goals are. If the goal is to spend some time together, this is a huge help. It means you can meet in Canada, spend time together, and maybe start an I-129f or I-130 petition. Even though she now has citizenship in a VWP country, she is still "from" Brazil. And having no ties to Germany and several denials on her record does not help. She has to be truthful about the purpose of her visit.

    Do you mean photocopies of the actual cards? I would not do that. The statements provide a much better picture of both of you paying household expenses. I would not mail a photocopy of my credit card to anyone; I would be too scared of it getting lost and getting in the wrong hands. The statements are sufficient; they don't need to see the actual cards. And as others have said, just include tax transcripts and forget about the tax returns. Good luck!

    You are going to have to provide her information there, because not doing so would be misrepresentation. Be prepared to explain why you did not disclose that you have a daughter during the K-1 process.
  30. Marieke H
    I'm confused. The screenshot you shared is about adding a newborn to a K-1 application. But it sounds like you moved to the US without your child (without even disclosing that you have a child?) and are now wanting to petition for your child? Can you be more specific about your situation and question? Your message and the screenshot are 2 very different situations.
  31. Marieke H
    I went through the K-1 visa process and AOS during the previous Trump administration, and nothing was really different from previous years. I don't think legal, family-based immigration will be affected much this time. Remember all those immigration fee increases a few years ago? Those were during the Biden administration. I'm not saying any policies are good or bad, but making legal immigration a lot more expensive has probably had a pretty serious effect on some families.

    If you had paid attention, you would have known that the OP is currently living with her partner in Brazil, so this does not apply to their situation at all. Also not relevant for the OP, as they are in Brazil. Your personal experience from a decade ago in the Philippines really does not add any value to OP's questions. OP, glad you decided to go the CR-1 route! Good luck!

    Focus on quality instead of quantity. If she is already in the US, you should have stronger evidence of your life together.
  34. Marieke H
    Video calls don't prove emotional distress caused by separation. Then "financial strain" obviously isn't a valid reason to expedite. That would only leave your single parent struggles and that would make for a very weak case for an expedite request. These requests are not taken lightly; you can not throw whatever you can come up with at them and see what they will go with. You will have to provide strong evidence that shows that an expedite is needed and you are not just tired of waiting like everyone else.
  35. Marieke H
    You can certainly try. I am curious how you are going to prove that your children are already so bonded with their new stepmother that the separation is causing distress. Financial strain is tricky; you are going to have to prove that you are able to financially support the immigrant, so it may not be wise to point out that you are already struggling financially.

    I did the K-1 and would totally NOT recommend it. CR-1 is far superior. It is cheaper in the long run, and the foreign spouse is legal permanent resident upon entry and can actually start a life (work, drive, etc) in the US. If you are already living together, the Utah online marriage would be a very quick and easy way to get married and start the process.
