  1. There are absolutely questions about mental health history for the immigration medical exam.
  2. Oh, I see. Yes, if the RFE is for not fulfilling the two year meeting requirement, then you will definitely not get a K-1 visa. You can try your luck at traveling on the ESTA, but I agree that you need a plan B.
  3. They will not extend the validity date of any visa, as it is tied to the date of the medical.
  4. I have no idea. But it's good that you're planning to contact them. Best luck and let us know how it goes.
  5. You won the DV lottery two years ago? It would be null and void now, so you'd have to try again.
  6. I assume if no waiver was applied for, the petition will be returned to USCIS.
  7. Why are you delaying responding to the RFE? You could have even had your visa by the time you’re wanting to travel, and then you wouldn’t have to worry about showing ties/not getting admitted. T CBP.
  8. In that case, OP: spouse is not eligible for adjustment of status. Like others have said, the form was not filled out correctly, so you will need to take the advice given about fixing it.
  9. It must be an error. I believe withdrawals can only happen in writing by the petitioner at this stage of immigration. So if that was not done, they will have no record of it. USCIS does make mistakes. Do you have USPS informed delivery? It's very helpful for watching to know when you're expecting a letter from USCIS. I am trying to think of the best way forward. Maybe others have ideas? You could always try the "Ask Emma" chat. Trying to get an info pass to a field office wouldn't necessarily be helpful since they won't have any connection to the petition yet. @TBoneTX, @Mike E @Crazy Cat any ideas?
  10. That is understandable. What isn't so much is the people who seek B visas (the conditions of which require no immigrant intent) for parents who do not intend to return home.
  11. Perhaps it was not the best idea to have them overstay and adjust? Being unable to work/travel is the consequence to that choice.
  12. The immigration officer at USCIS ‘asked you to do couples counseling’? I find that very, very hard to believe. There is no way that would be the USCIS stance if you’d gone there to inform them that it was a fraudulent marriage. No way that GC would have been approved. Something about this story is very fishy. He can file for ROC with a divorce waiver.
  13. I wonder if the delay could be related to the very recent announcement that conditional GC validity (with pending ROC) is to be extended from 36 to 48 months?
  14. You can’t just pick a consulate that has a shorter queue. You need to be a legal resident to interview in a different country.
  15. Yes. They are not close to being able to make a decision in your case, since you have some big items missing. They will not ask for them back until they can make a decision.
  16. If you are referring to denials at the petition phase, that is pretty uncommon. I’d say the biggest reasons are for failure to show evidence of having met in the prior two years, or failure to show evidence of intent to marry. You can read the decisions for cases that attempted to appeal on USCIS.gov in the AAO archives. Denials of the actual visa are much more common, and the basis is often eligibility or suspicion of fraud.
  17. She can apply for a tourist visa- anyone can. I think the wait time for a B visa interview in MNL may still be the better part of a year, though. With a pending immigrant visa, it will be hard to show that she does not immigrant intent though. She can only stay for as long as CBP allows entry. Wanting to stay for months could make them question how she can afford to do that, and whether she will go home, since she has demonstrated immigrant intent.
