    I would expect 4-6 weeks from the time the completed application was received by them on 10/29/24.
  2. SalishSea
    Not sure what you mean by "restart," but clearly they cannot process incomplete packages. Your processing started once your application was complete.

    Normal passport processing is currently 4-6 weeks. You're well within that, since you originally sent an incomplete packet. No, a senator will not help with this.

    It comes down to your tolerance for risk, I guess. Living in a border or checkpoint area would be a big reason to do it, in my opinion.
  5. SalishSea
    I assume by "petitioner" you mean the applicant? They should carry the extension letter and the expired GC.

    It's not a black and white formulaic decision. It is based on the totality of circumstances.

    So clearly she isn’t currently here, and as a result what you are contemplating is actually immigration fraud. Don’t do that, or she risks a ban. Your ONLY option is to petition her properly for an immigrant visa and wait in the queue like everyone else.

    You can (and MUST, for immigration purposes) spend time together in person, regardless of religion.
  9. SalishSea
    Great point.
  10. SalishSea
    Yes, that is a major red flag.
  11. SalishSea
    LOL, no.

    I think if you really do go to work for USCIS, you'll find that's not what goes on there...

    Could be, if they have questions about the circumstances of adjusting. Is he adjusting from an overstay of ESTA?
  14. SalishSea
    Great points. Especially since most of us would never consider marrying someone local to us that we had met online 4 months ago. That just is not the organic progression of a lifetime marital relationship.

    Your visa category is numerically limited. They need to petition you for an immigrant visa first, and when a visa number is available, then you can apply. You have to be in status to adjust status, so if you overstay and then a visa becomes available, you will be ineligible.

    Unfortunately, this is not something that will be considered by immigration.

    He will not get a tourist visa, unfortunately. "Meeting" online is not relevant for immigration purposes. Morocco is very high fraud, so expect scrutiny if you petition someone with this timeline. They will suspect it is a greencard marriage.

    Using a B visa to try "living" here is risky (you risk losing it). CBP may wonder how you can afford to stay for so long without working, and you may not realize that working remotely is also not allowed. More frequent, shorter trips is generally recommended, in order to get to know each other.

    Why would you need passports for the medical exam?
  20. SalishSea
    Personally, I would wait until you've filed and received the receipt notice, which will serve as her evidence of authorized stay. Everyone's risk tolerance is different, but that is my opinion. I live in Washington state, and I know people who have gotten turned around in Blaine, and ended up going through the border crossing inadvertently. YMMV.
  21. SalishSea
    Is she out of status?
  22. SalishSea
    This could change if the incoming administration resumes the extra public charge vetting that we had previously.
  23. SalishSea
    That would be a big reason to pick a CR-1- you would be able to work straight away.
  24. SalishSea
    Marrying in order to stay in the country is fraud. Clearly in this case it would not be a bonafide marriage.

    Hi! I remember you! The US is fine with you having two passports. And you’re now eligible to file the N-400 form any time. Good luck !
