    The Kiwi is a citizen! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Applied 11/29/24 under the 5 year rule. He brought all our tax transcripts and civil documents, but the officer didn’t need to look at any of them. He was asked 6 questions, got all right. The timing of having an afternoon appointment in Seattle was great, we waited about half an hour for the oath ceremony. Sitting there as a born American, I realized that many don’t ever get to attend one- it was an honor, and so interesting. Everyone was SO happy ❤️🇺🇸.

    Will she be working? Employer-based insurance is usually the best option. Otherwise, you can purchase it on the market (Obamacare).

    They wouldn’t have filed an I-130 when adjusting from a K-1, unless the marriage was not within the 90 days.

    This is a different person's thread, but John explains what happened here.
  5. SalishSea
    Our best example of this situation is the story of @John & Rose. Similar situation, and they ended up marrying and she got her visa.
  6. SalishSea
    Great point. OP, this is probably the path of least resistance, particularly since any extreme EOs or other actions would hopefully be tied up in the courts for awhile. What is your husband's "resident since" date on his GC? He can file an N-400 90 days before that date.

    No, it is a 'family reunification' visa. Now that she went back home, there is no need for reunification.

    Since there is no precedent for any of this, we can only just speculate. I'm assuming that same-sex marriage continues to be legal in Columbia, where you married? If so, and you moved to a state that keeps it legal (like California), there would be no need to "remarry." In terms of the federal impact for US immigration, I can imagine they might take the approach the take towards marriage between first cousins: in order to receive an immigrant benefit, the petitioner must live in one of the states where cousin marriage is legal, as well as having married in a location where it is legal. Best of luck, and hopefully it doesn't come to extremes like having to move to another state.

    They will not expedite for that reason, no.

    Why do you need a waiver?
  11. SalishSea
    Nope, sorry. No derivatives for IR. Get their I-130 petitions submitted asap.
  12. SalishSea
    All K-1 interviews for Canada are done at the Montreal consulate.
  13. SalishSea
    Are they still together, as in living in the same household? Because she did a K-1, she cannot adjust status in any other way. She is subject to deportation, which is becoming more likely every day.
  14. SalishSea
    CBP will wonder how she has so many large blocks of time off from work? Remote work is prohibited on a tourist visa/ESTA.
  15. SalishSea
    Such letters are not required and don't "help." There is also no sponsorship for B visas.
  16. SalishSea
    If your income is marginal (as you’ve said in prior posts that it is) even to meet the sponsorship requirements, how would you afford their tuition?
  17. SalishSea
    No. You can’t use the home where the intending immigrant is to live. Also- it could be 6-12 months before he is allowed to work. While an income shortfall may not be a big deal to you for the I-134, have you looked at the requirements for actually adjusting status? Sounds like you’ll need a joint sponsor.
  18. SalishSea
    K-1 is not the best choice in your financial situation. Are you aware that the beneficiary will not be able to work for up to one year? In any case, you will need a joint sponsor.
  19. SalishSea
    They haven't taken live calls in years.
  20. SalishSea
    Then he has a conditional green card and will have to remove conditions on it when eligible.
  21. SalishSea
    Nope.
  22. SalishSea
    Never, ever lie to US immigration.
  23. SalishSea
    The VJ search function is hit or miss, but if you are able to try it out, there are many examples and stories of couples who have successfully obtained spousal visas this way. Wish I could remember someone to tag here. Maybe another VJ member will tag someone.

    Not sure that PCCs from Pakistan are ever accepted by the DOS? They don't accept them at NVC. The extra efforts involved in satisfying the background checks for Pakistanis is what contributes to the extended APs.
  25. SalishSea
    It is because of Pakistan's poor criminal record-keeping processes. Nothing you can do about it.
