  1. Make sure she is okay with not being able to work or travel for up to 8-12 months. Adjustment of status is not fast.
  2. It doesn’t matter at all, for the purpose of U.S. immigration.
  3. She will have to marry him and once she’s here with a GC, she can petition him as spouse of LPR. Will take many years.
  4. Doesn’t matter. Someone is adjusting from a nonimmigrant visa, rather than being petitioned. So- the trade off to waiting out the queue overseas is the extra expenses.
  5. If cost was a concern, she should have petitioned him for a proper immigrant visa, instead of adjusting from an overstay.
  6. Pretty sure the tickets the OP refers to are to get to the interview…
  7. OP, if you’re currently on your state’s Medicaid program, how do you plan to support another immigrant? I would think your focus should be on improving your skills and job prospects at this point.
  8. I agree you’ll have problems. You brought someone here that you promised to support financially, and she has used publicly-funded resources.
  9. Did you even read the guides or do any research whatsoever? You seem wholly unprepared. At the very least, look at the forms.
  10. That is not a reason to expedite.
  11. Not just risky, it’s FRAUD. Petition her for a visa, properly..
  12. K-1s do not submit further documentation or evidence at the NVC stage like CR/IRs do.
  13. He is out of status and needs to leave the US immediately.
  14. Isn’t an E2 visa an investor visa? Why would he have an employer?
  15. What government shutdown?
  16. Won’t be an easy path, OP. Looks like fraud, which is what USCIS will think, too.
  17. I mean if you had petitioned her for an immigrant visa, where she would have interviewed in London and arrived to the US with a green card, enabling her to work and travel. Adjusting on ESTA is a way to circumvent the queue. Honestly, I’m not sure why it’s even allowed. Most people on ‘vacation’ don’t have the ability to just abruptly leave their lives back home like that.
  18. Being unable to travel is a drawback to adjusting from ESTA instead of going through the proper immigrant visa process.
  19. No one is any more special than anyone else in this process. We all have to wait our turns. Do not do a fraud. Petition the baby properly. Since you are a USC and free to live outside of the US indefinitely, you can return to the baby’s country and live there in the interim.
  20. He hasn’t specified a plan, only that he wants to end chain migration and birthright citizenship. Anyone can speculate, but no one knows for sure. regardless of what trump does or does not change about the process, your siblings will not have visas available for them for 15-20 years.
