    I kinda miss the posts by people who did this......ah, the olden days of VJ...!

    No state government has the right or ability to confirm whether any marriage has been sexually consummated. Therefore, that cannot be a parameter for a legal marriage.

    I'd expect scrutiny. Mom and teen daughter come to the US on a B visa, and mom just happens to meet someone to marry, and now wants them both to adjust?

    Visa

    SalishSea replied to Blessed21's topic in Tourist Visas

    She is not eligible for ESTA. She can apply for a B visa.

    Have you read the USCIS instructions? They clearly specify no binders. Any additional fluff that makes it harder for them to disassemble the packet is probably not a smart choice. The optional checklist/instructions that go with the form is a great resource, and a much better source for info then YouTube, etc.

    I’m certainly not berating anyone. I’ve been on VJ for 7 years, and we did a K-1. So my advice is based on that. YMMV. Like Mike, I’m out.

    This is getting silly. To clarify for others: The requirement to have met in the immediate two years is absolute. Receipts from restaurants hotels, , events, etc around the time of the meeting are good, as is evidence that you actually took the flight (not itinerary or receipt- those do not confirm that you travelled). This is all primary evidence. Photos taken together is considered secondary, as the date it was taken is not always verifiable.

    Your admission/departure was recorded electronically, I promise.
  10. SalishSea
    Ask for stamps, if you want them. Or an electronic document showing admission (similar to our I-94). Believe it or not, there is a record of your admissions/departures from other countries.

    What I mean is: using an emailed itinerary in lieu of passport stamps or boarding passes will not work. People book flights and do not travel all the time. Can you get a printed boarding pass and check your luggage and then fail to board the plane? Yes. But, realistically does that happen? Historically, boarding pass and passport stamp have been widely accepted as evidence. Passport stamps may be requested at any border.

    Itinerary will not be adequate. It doesn’t ‘prove’ that anyone travelled or met. Boarding passes and passport stamps are a critical piece to this.
  13. SalishSea
    Purchasing tickets is not adequate as evidence of meeting. Passport stamps and boarding passes are.
  14. SalishSea
    Correct. As long as OP and spouse were in each others’ presence, it would be consummated for USCIS purposes.
  15. SalishSea
    Are you sure? It used to specify 2x2. Very surprising if they removed that.

    Bill Murray would say yes! Btw, we are in the same boat. Two rescue Pyrenees (one is a 9 month old 75 lb ‘puppy’), and a new kitty as of last weekend. Puppy got his nose booped with claws and his feelings were so hurt. He’s still sulking, days later.

    Do you though? I hope so. You still seem confused about the process, and what is legal. You maybe one of the few who would benefit from a paid service to help.
  18. SalishSea
    That is not "slightly less." The instructions are pretty clear. Deliberately not following them = not smart.
  19. SalishSea
    It would be fraud if she arrived, you married and then applied for AOS. The post you responded to was not suggesting that. You would need to marry and petition her, and she would need to return to her country to wait out consular processing. No overstay. No fraud. Do things the right way.
  20. SalishSea
    There is no such thing. Anyone who has shown immigrant intent via a petition is very unlikely to get a visitor visa, as consulate officers are required by law to reject such applicants. Nothing prohibits anyone with $160 from applying.
  21. SalishSea
    Right after dogs and cats, living together...
  22. SalishSea
    Ah, gotcha. I’d follow Mike E’s advice and try the famed infopass/Tier 2 request. Nothing to lose, and may well be faster than waiting for the plastic card.
  23. SalishSea
    But have you read through the thread at all? If so, you’ll find that the question of whether you can visit has primarily been responded to by people with existing ESTA/B2, including the person you responded to!
  24. SalishSea
    And yet so many of us had the very real experience of traveling on ESTA/B2 after the filing and before the approval of the petition, with absolutely no issues.

    They’re not lawyers, but they play one on TikTok!
