  1. If women from these countries are specifically seeking American men, you might ask yourself why.
  2. Why not look locally? Really boggles the mind how many people seem to actively search for foreign spouses, even with as expensive and fraught with delays and huge wait times immigration is.....
  3. Probably not, especially since your dad's name triggered some type of alert. People from extremist countries often go through additional vetting, so it is not surprising.
  4. Probably however they would show any form of income?
  5. It has likely been referred to the fraud unit. Like Mike said, time to lawyer up.
  6. Why are you both having such trouble finding jobs? Jobs are plentiful, unemployment numbers are low. Maybe you'd have better luck finding work in your home country?
  7. No. She should have applied with her own info.
  8. So you fabricated an emergency? Nice way to start the immigration process....
  9. I would suggest he start working asap. US immigration is not cheap, and the fees are slated to sharply increase soon.
  10. USCIS doesn't 'expect' anything. It's up to couples to research and plan for themselves, and for many, it is why the CR-1 is a much better visa. It's a shame that you didn't come across that in all your K-1 research. The EAD/AP issue and problems in some states with getting driver's licenses are well known drawbacks of the K-1. If not working is going to be an issue, you may want to consider marrying now and petitioning for a CR-1 instead. Even with the 'lost' months since filing the I-129F petition, the way timelines are right now, he would be working sooner with a CR-1.
  11. What do you even mean? What does retirement income have to do with you seeking a tourist visa??
  12. You won't be able to start the process until after you're legally married, and it will take up to two years after that before she can immigrate.
  13. They won’t ask for them at NVC, nor is calling them going to help. I agree with the Cat, that your evidence should be sufficient. If it is not, you’ll be able to fix it when you get an RFE.
  14. No. Pictures in general do not show evidence of having met within the required two year period, which is why they are secondary evidence. Passport stamps are primary evidence.
  15. He can adjust from no status if married to a USC. Until then, he is deportable.
  16. Not shockingly. Unlike F2A, are no derivatives for IR visas. Naturalizing changed the visa category.
  17. 😅 I have read some staggering statistics about the percentage of Americans who do not know that New Mexico is a US state.... reinforces the old advice "stay in school, kids."
  18. It will take two years with either visa option. US immigration is not fast, or cheap.
  19. Not an issue. There is NO sponsorship for tourist visas.
  20. 99.9% of I-129F petitions are processed at the California Service Center. Yours is not at Texas.
  21. Except for K-1s. Supporting documentation, as requested in packet 3, are sent or brought directly to the consulate.
  22. So, who is the hardship for? The premise of waivers for immigrant visas is hardship to a USC or LPR. I suppose one could frame a tourist waiver hardship as applying to Mickey Mouse, if the tourist cannot visit Disneyland.
