    Just so you know, the consulate could require transcripts vs just returns, as only transcripts are proof of filing.
  2. SalishSea
    What is confusing about that? You are now in AP, and the consulate does not need your passport until they are ready to issue the visa.
  3. SalishSea
    There is no published processing times for AP, like there is for petitions and visas. Can last days to years.

    60 days is certainly not the usual wait time to file WOM. In general, it isn't done before 6-12 months in. At 60 days, you're still within normal processing/background check time.
  5. SalishSea
    2-3 months? Funny how that isn't supported by the posts on VJ or by processing times on USCIS.gov.

    The consulate can (and will) reinstate any expired petition. Delays between dispatching approved petitions from the CSC to NVC are usually consulate-driven as well. The NVC does not 'process' I-129F petitions in the same way they do other ones (like collecting required documents for spousal/family petitions). The NVC mails petitions to consulates overseas when requested. In previous years, they were sent in batches every two weeks - now consular backlogs mean there is no predictable schedule. Your consulate must be backed up for interviews at the moment.

    An expedite request will not negatively impact your case, but it does not appear that you have good reasons to expedite. And until you are documentary qualified, you cannot make the request. Sometimes people who are struggling to understand the forms and paperwork can benefit from the help of a lawyer or paid immigration service.

    There are no derivatives for IR visas.

    I use Safari, and I'm getting it, too. Since yesterday or the day before.

    Great! I'm so glad to hear that you have thought about these things. Best of luck, and please stick around VJ - there is lots of help to be had here when questions come up through the process.

    What is your plan for after the marriage? Is he going to petition you for an immigrant visa? You cannot enter the US on ESTA with a plan to marry and stay to adjust status. That’s fraud. If I might make another suggestion: if your plan is to live in the US, you will want to have a thorough conversation with him to discuss the plan for your income and medical insurance. You will not be eligible for any type of disability income here. The best case scenario in terms of insurance would be that he has an employer-based plan that he can add you to. Health care in the US is very expensive.

    You are missing the point. Regardless of a previous K-1 denial, you have the burden of demonstrating that you have a bonafide marriage. Honestly, not having seen each other in four years makes it seem like a green card marriage. You may need to spend more time together if you want that visa.

    Visas in the F4 category cannot be expedited, unfortunately.
  14. SalishSea
    You’re just randomly asking that on someone else’s totally unrelated thread?
  15. SalishSea
    Likely several more years to wait.

    You should have received it by now. I would say, call USCIS, but I’m not sure what the current down low is on getting a live human capable of helping. Maybe others will chime in.
  17. SalishSea
    You will not get a phone call from USCIS. You will get a receipt notice (I-797 - also known as NOA-1) in paper form, via USPS. Btw, if you haven't already signed up for the USPS free informed delivery service, I highly recommend it. The cashing of your check is also a good sign that the petition was accepted by the Texas Lockbox. Then, there will be radio silence for approx 16.5 months until the petition is approved or denied, or an RFE is sent to you for more evidence.
  18. SalishSea
    If that is the case, please also let them know that you need to be petitioned properly for an immigrant visa, because coming over on ESTA/B visa with the intent to marry and adjust status is 100% IMMIGRATION FRAUD.
  19. SalishSea
    Hopefully you realize that you will need to be petitioned for a visa. There will be no I-485. It is very premature to even be thinking about tax filing status. How strange. You are YEARS away from living in the US.
  20. SalishSea
    AFAIK, USCIS does not provide interpreters. I believe you can bring one, but you will want to try to confirm that with your field office.
  21. SalishSea
    This comment makes it pretty clear that they are not currently in the US, and is the reason why you are being warned about fraud in this thread.
  22. SalishSea
    So you married without your divorce in Egypt being finalized, arrived on an ESTA, and now want to adjust status?
  23. SalishSea
    That doesn't add up.... OP, are you talking about your previous spouse, or have you remarried in the past month? If the latter, it isn't something you would even need to think about until next year.
  24. SalishSea
    I would look to finding 24/7 care within the US. That is not the purpose of tourist visas.
  25. SalishSea
    She should file her tax returns x 3 years, like Chancy said - even if she owes no taxes. She does not need any documentation for the minimal income she had in Egypt, because it will not be considered when evaluating her ability to support you.
