Handed to you at the interview? -
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.

Was it a ‘verbal approval’?
-
The poor data/record keeping is what leads to extended APs for countries like Pakistan and India.
-
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.

No interview?
SalishSea replied to Petersaad1's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Interviews for what? -
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.
-
You definitely will not be here by the end of the year with a K-1. Or perhaps you meant end of 2024?
-
He’d better not be going anywhere! VJ needs its daily visits by C.Cat. And, we’re all waiting for that book to get published!
-
VJ data is absolutely not more reliable than USCIS data. Not sure what you mean by that sentence, that is an odd comment.
-
Not a smart plan, by any stretch. In order to be allowed to do what you apparently seek to do (frequent trips into the US, volunteering for a federal agency), you need an immigrant visa. Marrying and planning to stay are not allowed. You need to be petitioned for either a K-1 or a CR-1. Would be a damn shame to deplane after that 16+ hour trip, only to be returned to sender due to suspected immigrant intent/abuse of ESTA privileges at the border.
-
Right. Reads more like the list for AOS.

Divorce and children

Obviously not. And perhaps it was not clear, but I meant via a legal custody arrangement via the courts. -
@Crazy Cat, what do you advise?
-
Normally the bank statements should be joint, since it’s a marriage-based ROC petition. Did you not submit them when you filed?
-
So since OP is not yet an LPR, and in the likely event that she won’t be before the VB change, The daughter wouldn’t be able to adjust from a student visa, correct?
-
Let us know how that goes, since we haven’t seen it before.
-
Was C for so long, it was going to happen sooner or later.
-
No one here is saying it won’t be. Naturalization cannot be approved before conditions are removed, so sometimes there is a lag time.
-
Atypical. Maybe there are red flags.

The courts won’t award custody of his stepchildren to him just because they may have worse socioeconomic futures if they return to the Philippines. It is also very likely that if he pursues the path of withdrawing his support, she will be allowed to take his biological child when she departs the US as well. -
Yes. Approval is based on current income as evidenced by payslips, not past income, which is what W2s and tax transcripts show.
-
So what is the country of citizenship?
-
When you return, will that salary continue once you are domiciled in the US?
