  1. Good questions. The bar for domicile is very consulate-specific. Montreal, for example, is very strict. I'm not sure about MNL. Perhaps @Crazy Cat, or one of the other mods would want to move this thread to the Philippines-specific subform.
  2. Same sex marriage is still legal in all 50 states. This could change. Visa applications are adjudicated using US law, even in countries where the prevailing laws are different.
  3. You will want to look into the financial/income requirements for sponsoring an immigrant, as well as the domicile requirements. You will need US-based income. It is often unavoidable that the USC spouse has to return to the states earlier than the intending immigrant to satisfy these requirements.
  4. That sounds like great evidence. Good luck!
  5. I might be wrong, but at least in other jurisdictions, it depends on whether there is a name change occurring, requiring a judge's action.
  6. Probably not, since many countries don't even routinely stamp passports any longer. Boarding passes are great, as is the I-94. Sometimes people try to use printed trip itineraries though, which is not great evidence of actual travel, but just a booking.
  7. LOL it's not actually advantageous for the petition to be approved many years before the visa is available - you understand that, right?
  8. Unlike others commenting, we did a joint letter of intent to marry. No RFEs, no problems. We provided no concrete wedding plans in our petition, aside from the obvious plan to marry within the 90 days. The purpose of passport stamps is to provide primary evidence of the required one meeting in the two years prior. Don't overthink things.
  9. Be aware that the vetting he would experience (in the form of AP in Montreal) based on his citizenship will not be eliminated by adjusting status. He will face the same scrutiny, possibly more due to adjusting.
  10. If that is the case, having a lawyer won't help.
  11. Somehow I’d missed this! Congratulations!!
  12. You can ask for your passport back if you need it. AP cannot be avoided, particularly since you’re from a high fraud country.
  13. You are absolutely here soliciting assistance on how to conduct immigration fraud. I’ve reported this thread as it goes against the TOS you agreed to when you signed up for VJ.
  14. Doesn’t their age exempt them from the English/civics test requirement anyway?
  15. You can try, but I doubt you would get a response. I would definitely include everything that was returned to you, as well as any new evidence of time spent together in person. From what you have told us, I don't see any glaring problems with your case; you have plenty of in-person time, you just need to show it to them at the interview.
