    The delay is that if you submit 1000 pages of unsolicited evidence, they are required to look at it all. There are posts on VJ about RFEs that came about because of such evidence, i.e. content of chats that raised questions during adjudication.
  5. SalishSea
    As USCIS views consummation of marital relationships to be "in each other's presence," the issue of "conjugal" visits is a non-issue.

    This is not a place where you will find legal advice. This is a DIY site.

    I would discourage it just because it delays processing, and it opens up opportunities for RFEs. All of our petitions and applications have included only what was asked for by USCIS, and we have had no delays or RFEs. As always, YMMV.
  9. SalishSea
    Have you read the requirements/instructions for the petition? You need evidence of having met in the prior two years, for one. This is best done via passport stamps/boarding passes etc. Extra fluff, such as snapshots and chat logs are not required or even recommended in most cases. The question about the consulate is not a frivolous one. The type of "front-loading" you are suggesting is appropriate for some consulates, and not relevant to others. And the reason to consider that prior to the interview, is that unlike spousal visas, you will not have the opportunity to add subsequent "relatiohship evidence" to a K-1.
  10. SalishSea
    Every immigration related process we have done, from I-129F petition through to naturalization oath has been completed within the USCIS published processing estimates. Been at this since 2018, and processing times always fluctuate.
  11. SalishSea
    Depends entirely on the consulate where you will interview. However, please do not send 1000 text pages or whatever. I promise that no one at USCIS wants to riffle through that.

    No, you would not be eligible to do that. Also: it is immigration FRAUD for you to enter the US with the intent to immigrate.
  15. SalishSea
    Not worth the risk. It will be years before a visa number is available to you. If you overstay, it will not be forgiven, and you cannot adjust status if you're out of status.

    It’s FRAUD to enter with the intent to adjust. CBP, DHS and USCIS are all are absolutely cracking down on fraudulent and nefarious behavior. Do not do that, or you risk all future immigration benefits.
  25. SalishSea
    They absolutely have the right to inspect any traveller’s property, including phones.

    Were there any red flags with your case? Why did you have to re-do biometrics?

    For long visits outside of the US, (>6 mo), you would want to get a returning resident permit. I'm blanking on the name of the form just now, but someone else will mention it. You have to apply for it from within the US, and appear for biometrics. Long periods outside of the US as a green card holder can definitely impact the timing and your ability to naturalize. You will want to keep very good records of trips, and adhere to the residency requirements. In terms of your ability to safely travel and return to the US - no one really knows, at this point. Everyone will individually have to assess their own tolerance to risk while closely watching the EOs and US immigration news and trends.

    Refile, and pay someone who understands the forms to help you.
