    You realize that the passports will not be in a “do not open” sealed envelope hopefully?
  2. SalishSea
    The US embassy in Cuba’s consular section has reopened?
  3. SalishSea
    What do you mean “what will be the salary”?
  4. SalishSea
    Sounds like they’re not ready to immigrate. They cannot live and work in Canada if they want to be LPRs of the US. It just doesn’t work that way.
  5. SalishSea
    Sounds like more research is needed on your part to understand all of the pros and cons of bringing them here. Good luck.

    They won’t be eligible for social security or Medicare. Hopefully you have a plan in place to provide for their healthcare, as the provincial healthcare coverage will not be valid after they immigrate.
  7. SalishSea
    None of that is taken into consideration for tourist visas.
  8. SalishSea
    Incorrect.
  9. SalishSea
    Yup. The vast majority of us are in the same boat. No part of US immigration is fast in 2023.

    LIN is Nebraska, also very slow. I guess I just realize that there will always be people who applied after me who are approved first, and that we will very likely get approved before people who applied before us. Like life, it isn’t linear, or “fair.” I have other things to occupy my time and mental energy with. Good luck.

    On the contrary: many of us have been or are currently waiting in the queues. Husband waited 14 months just for AOS (Seattle field office is amongst the slowest), and now we are 15 months into ROC. Our case is at LIN, so we don’t expect anything for another 6 months or so. Haven’t even applied for naturalization yet. Really don’t see the urgency to do that. Huh? How am I being unfriendly?
  12. SalishSea
    Getting the extension letter was unrelated to calling USCIS or contacting senators. You got it because USCIS is sending them to all ROC candidates in the queue. You can find the announcement about the 48 month extension letter at USCIS.gov.
  13. SalishSea
    Regarding the non-linear processing of cases, we can explain it to you, but we cannot understand it for you. USCIS is bound by laws to investigate potential immigrant/citizens’ backgrounds, rather than taking “I didn’t do any crimes” at face value. Go figure.
  14. SalishSea
    Right, because so many fail to familiarize themselves with the overall process, and have no idea that petition approval is only part of it.
  15. SalishSea
    You writing an email will not fix anything. If it makes you feel better though, do it. Good luck with the rest of your process.
  16. SalishSea
    Obviously they check to see if any crimes or nefarious activity have occurred during the long interim from K-1/AOS.
  17. SalishSea
    Your case has nothing to do with anyone else’s. You can complain fill the cows come home, but it won’t make the wait time shorter. If you have a spare $5-7k to file a writ of mandamus, you could potentially speed things up that way. If you’re “within normal processing time,” it’s just more waiting.
  18. SalishSea
    Hopefully they realize that they are expected to live in the US I’d they get green cards. If they do it the way you’re describing, they risk losing them.
  19. SalishSea
    Not surprising, it is a very high fraud consulate.
  20. SalishSea
    Nothing OP has said indicates that.
  21. SalishSea
    It won't impact your immigrant visa case, but honestly your chance to get a B visa is pretty much zero.
  22. SalishSea
    K-1 is not for visiting, it is for adjusting status and living in the US. You don't apply for it - your USC boyfriend would need to petition you for it. If you want to visit, apply for a B visa. You cannot use the B visa to enter the US and stay.
  23. SalishSea
    It is absolutely fraud. This choice reinforces the patterns of behavior that make it difficult for people from the Philippines to get B visas.
  24. SalishSea
    Visit in the US? Do you have a tourist visa?
  25. SalishSea
    No one is evangelizing. A discussion of the pros and cons of available visa rules is EXACTLY what people come to VJ for. You may not appreciate the insight and experience of seasoned members here (who have been around long enough to have seen myriad processing trends), but many others do.
