    Sounds like the attorney lacks experience with this. In the years since the Utah online marriage became an option, I have not seen anyone post that it was problematic for US immigration, if done correctly, as you are planning. I think the only situation in which someone could run into trouble is if they file prior to the required visit.

    I'm confused - has the CR-1 been issued?
  3. SalishSea
    Right, and OP, if your GF tells CBP of this plan when she arrives, she will immediately be sent back on the next flight.
  4. SalishSea
    Going forward with the other steps of the process, I recommend you own your own process and use VJ as a resource. This is what most of us here have done. No one cares as much about it as you do. We’ve seen countless delays and denials due to incompetencies.

    Does she have to go in person for a renewal? Many countries offer a renew by mail option (NZ, for example).

    DV is very serious when it comes to K-1 visas. You will likely need an attorney at some point, yes.
  7. SalishSea
    I could see that timeline and lack of face to face time being an issue, yes. Not at the USCIS stage, but for the consulate.

    The point that poster was trying to make was that visits and time spent in person (both directions), and documentation of such is important for marriage/relationship visas.
  9. SalishSea
    I'm telling you how it is seen by CBP. Take or leave the advice.

    Why have you not put everything in both names? Being an authorized user is not the same as joint owner. It's a bit late now, but for others reading this: I recommend adding spouse to ALL household bills immediately when they first arrive.

    Probably doesn't help that she didn't honor the timeframe she told CBP she'd be visiting. They do documents notes in the computer of what people seeking entry to the US tell them.

    She is spending WAY too much time in the US, which is seen as abuse of the B2 visa; they think she is using the B2 to live here. And for good reason - not many can afford to take months and months at a time for vacation, without working. Treat it seriously. Have her stop abusing the B2. Last thing she needs is to be sent back on the very next flight, which is where you're headed.

    No one here would have any way of knowing internal operations of particular consulates.

    I have seen cancellations due to weather. I guess the best option is to try and check early on the morning of the oath ceremony?

    If you’re trying to bring him as an immigrant to get a green card, there is no path for that.
  16. SalishSea
    In your other post, you say you were all born in the US?
  17. SalishSea
    Nope, not for a few years now.

    CFO has nothing to do with the I-129F petition or any part of US immigration.
  19. SalishSea
    “Some places” don’t mention this? When in doubt, always go straight to the info on USCIS.

    Interesting question, as even in jurisdictions where marijuana is illegal, "using" it, or having used it in the past isn't necessarily a crime.
  21. SalishSea
    Won't expedite for beneficiary job offer, but possible for petitioner. Had you not already sent the petition, DCF for petitioner job would have been fastest.

    We have never provided any photos for any part of the K-1/AOS/ROC/N-400 process (although N-400 is under 5 year rule). At our ROC interview, the officer wanted to see our elopement wedding selfies, lol. Snapshots are definitely secondary evidence when it comes to showing a commingled marital life. Was that 3 year or 5 year rule?
  23. SalishSea
    Most here who did K-1s (with hugely variable timelines) would do a CR-1 if having to do it over again, particularly with the uncertainty surrounding US immigration presently. During Covid for example, consulates prioritized spousal visas vs K-1s. And not being able to work or travel for up to a year may not sound like much, but the effect on the immigrant can be significant.
  24. SalishSea
    You don’t have to visit that country, but you definitely have to meet before filing.
  25. SalishSea
    Quitting your job and coming for another extended visit isn’t a great idea….
