    Don’t want to play their game? = no visa.
  2. SalishSea
    lol, no need to be concerned. 5 days is nothing in the world of US immigration. You will be waiting around two years for the visa. Might as well buckle in for the ride.

    The best (and only) way to answer a question during the interview is truthfully. Do not lie. You will not like the results.

    The tricky thing with this is what happens if her AOS is denied while she’s away? I can’t remember if we’ve had one of those in recent years…. @Crazy Cat , @Mike E, @Boiler any thoughts?

    Being able to take a child to the US is not up to the consular officer. It would be determined by the family court that has jurisdiction there.
  6. SalishSea
    “Municipality.”

    If he doesn’t consent for you to take your child out of Pakistan, I think you’re out of luck.

    You do realize that it will be up to 8 months before you can legally work once you arrive, even as a freelancer/working remotely? This is a major drawback of the K-1.
  9. SalishSea
    Okay, well in that case I think you will have a much harder time getting a B visa.
  10. SalishSea
    Yup. We entered Canada at a land crossing enroute to take husband to airport for flight home to NZ, and came back the same way. No problems at all. He said the most questioning he got was in boarding the return flight, as Air New Zealand staff were not that familiar with extension letters.

    Quitting your job at the time you apply for a tourist visa is not particularly smart.
  12. SalishSea
    It is very unlikely she would get a B visa. I’d say 100% no. Not sure if you realize that the interview will likely not take place for up to two years after you marry, or file for a K-1, so who knows what the geopolitical situation will be then. In the absence of a Schengen visa to interview in Poland, Russians seem to be going to Almaty or Ankara. It’s not something you really need to worry about at this early stage. US/Russian strained relations definitely impact visa processes.

    Right, didn’t we recently have one that got his visa, married right before traveling on it, and was seeking info on petitioning his wife?
  14. SalishSea
    Sounds to me like the medical form is missing a check-box of some sort. Way back in 2018, my fiancé had his medical only 3 days before the interview, and they did not have the result and therefore couldn’t approve the visa until received. It only added a week or so to the process. I know that post-Covid, operations even at “easy” consulates such as Auckland are not what they once were, but I think you’ll hear from them shortly. Keep us posted!
  15. SalishSea
    That info is available to the public via the Visa Bulletin.
  16. SalishSea
    Very few jobs are limited to US citizens only, and they generally have security clearance issues. Bank teller is fine.

    What do you suppose the DOS does for the 99.9% of countries that have no such thing as CENOMAR?
  18. SalishSea
    There is no “limbo” involved. Status is the same whether evidenced by plastic card or receipt notice with extension date.
  19. SalishSea
    I would question that list. I’d like to see credible evidence of people having issues with those things. A green card is a green card, and the I-797 is clear evidence of legal status. But hey, if it’s worth $400 to you, go ahead.
  20. SalishSea
    Right. Especially since the extension letter serves the same purpose as the card. WOM makes sense in the case of immigration benefits that are yet to be had, such as actual visas.
  21. SalishSea
    What would be the point? USCIS is issuing 48 month extensions now. Waste of money, IMHO.
  22. SalishSea
    You are hilarious.
  23. SalishSea
    Any local certificate you could obtain does not “prove” you’re unmarried, just that a marriage did not take place in that particular place. Get it?
  24. SalishSea
    What you are missing is that there is no way to prove a negative. There is no way to prove someone wasn’t married somewhere on earth. If you think about it, it makes sense and is precisely why such documents are not requested or required by the United States department of state or USCIS.
  25. SalishSea
    And maybe get paid help for the rest of your processes, so that you can be sure to not make any other costly mistakes.
