    Your admission/departure was recorded electronically, I promise.
  2. 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.

    Purchasing tickets is not adequate as evidence of meeting. Passport stamps and boarding passes are.
  6. SalishSea
    Correct. As long as OP and spouse were in each others’ presence, it would be consummated for USCIS purposes.

    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.

    That is not "slightly less." The instructions are pretty clear. Deliberately not following them = not smart.

    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.
  12. 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.

    Right after dogs and cats, living together...

    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.

    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!
  16. 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!

    Handed to you at the interview?
  19. SalishSea
    Right, and the regular ones the IRS sends are free to the taxpayer.

    Volunteering is a slippery slope. Please put a link to the official USCIS policy stating that. Volunteering becomes a labor/work permit issue if you are volunteering for work that an American could get paid to do. Volunteers in the US are typically vetted with background checks and such. I’d be very surprised if the agencies you named would allow a tourist to volunteer.
  21. SalishSea
    Was it a ‘verbal approval’?
  22. SalishSea
    The poor data/record keeping is what leads to extended APs for countries like Pakistan and India.
  23. SalishSea
    Pay who? the IRS does not charge for tax transcript copies. If you find yourself on a site requesting you to pay for them, it’s a scam.
  24. SalishSea
    Interviews for what?
  25. SalishSea
    Not sure where you’re getting your info from, but EAD-AP is taking longer than 4-6 months. Green cards are taking two years in general, depending on field office. You might also like to know that those with pending ROC cases are currently receiving 46 month extension letters. When we were going through AOS, those letters were 12 months. Its nice that you expect timelines to rapidly increase this year, but I would bet that is wishful thinking.
