    They’re in AP. Very common for Pakistani males. You just have to wait.

    You won’t hear anything for many years- not until a visa becomes available. Become familiar with the visa bulletin- it’s the only source of info you need.

    “Pay into social security”? That’s not health insurance. She’s not eligible for Medicaid or Medicare. You can purchase a health care plan, but I fear you are unprepared for what the monthly premiums could be- potentially >$1k/month. She may want to reconsider not working, as an employer-based plan is usually the best bet. Or hopefully she has significant savings. If she’s relied on the NHS her whole life, US healthcare costs will be a rude awakening- medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy. IMHO, it’s irresponsible to make the leap from visiting to adjusting status without even considering these things.

    Yes

    What will she do for health insurance?

    This thread smells 100% like fraud.

    Green cards are for living in the United States, not visiting. Your sister can apply for a B visa- there is no sponsorship for that.
  8. SalishSea
    I wouldn't get my hopes up. Being from India, with a past overstay and previous attempts at getting a GC, their chances are slim to none. You should probably just petition them for green cards if they want to come here.
  9. SalishSea
    How? Do you have a B visa?
  10. SalishSea
    Sounds like you're planning something potentially dodgy. Planning to do anything other than to marry the petitioner within 90 days violates the terms of the visa, and makes adjusting status not possible.
  11. SalishSea
    Yes, if she entered using a B-2 with the intent to stay and adjust status, that is fraud. Her only option would be consular processing after her spouse files a petition for a CR1 visa.

    Why would it depend on the state? Federal tax law is the same in all 50 states.

    It’s brought to the interview by the beneficiary. I believe it is generally added to the case file, but that will vary by consulate.
  14. SalishSea
    100%.

    It will take longer than two years- possibly 4-5 (longer if you’re Pakistani) And a visitor visa is unlikely to be approved.
  16. SalishSea
    I think it won’t be difficult to do, since it seems like Manila has quite the interview queue.
  17. SalishSea
    Exactly, and you've been given good advice in this thread.
  18. SalishSea
    Not if you don’t live in the US.

    I don't think it is a big deal, but you could try submitting unsolicited evidence in the form of a correction to the Laguna Niguel address. We submitted a much more significant piece of evidence, and it was included with our case. I would just write a letter with "to whom it may concern", and the page in question with the corrected date highlighted. Good luck.
  20. SalishSea
    Do not even think of lying to the consular officer.
  21. SalishSea
    It may be. But if it is not, it doesn't mean the visa will not be issued.
  22. SalishSea
    How will you be eligible for naturalization in three years?
  23. SalishSea
    Yes
  24. SalishSea
    Was your divorce decree included in the original I-129F packet?

    Hint: there will be a similar thread/group for others, like you, who are waiting for approval. Just have a look on the K-1 forums and I’m sure you’ll find it!
