    Why would you need passports for the medical exam?

    Personally, I would wait until you've filed and received the receipt notice, which will serve as her evidence of authorized stay. Everyone's risk tolerance is different, but that is my opinion. I live in Washington state, and I know people who have gotten turned around in Blaine, and ended up going through the border crossing inadvertently. YMMV.

    Is she out of status?

    This could change if the incoming administration resumes the extra public charge vetting that we had previously.

    That would be a big reason to pick a CR-1- you would be able to work straight away.

    Marrying in order to stay in the country is fraud. Clearly in this case it would not be a bonafide marriage.

    Hi! I remember you! The US is fine with you having two passports. And you’re now eligible to file the N-400 form any time. Good luck !

    Luckily this website is about US immigration only, and Utah online marriage is most definitely accepted.

    The question of drivers licenses is totally state dependent. Where will you be living?
  10. SalishSea
    As long as you did not lie to CBP when you arrived, you should be okay.

    You can look up the current N-400 processing times for your field office at USCIS.gov.

    Unless they’ve lived with and been actively parented by said stepmother, I wouldn’t think they’d go for that.

    No, an immigrant visa is completely separate from tourist visas. You will be applying via a lockbox for consular processing. You need to file an I-130 petition to get the ball rolling.
  14. SalishSea
    You are overthinking it. Please interpret literally. The question is “have you ever been arrested”? Would answering “no” be truthful?

    OP, another vote for the CR-1, since you're currently together and the Utah online marriage is available. I did a K-1 in 2018. Would do CR-1 in your circumstances.
  16. SalishSea
    As do all countries since the closure of all international USCIS offices several years ago.
  17. SalishSea
    Not only that, but in OP's case, they already live together.

    Absolutely the dodgy circumstances of your first immigrant marriage are and will cause extended delays and processing for this case. There is no way to predict how long it will take.

    Never a good idea to lie when trying to get a visa. Being referred for a psych eval is not a reason for a denial. Don't underestimate the ability of health care professionals to correctly surmise the origin of those scars.

    For most people, some period of separation is an inevitable part of the immigration process.
  21. SalishSea
    Not a smart plan for a high-fraud consulate. They will take it for what it obviously is- a green card marriage.
  22. SalishSea
    It’s fraud to travel on a B visa or the VWP to marry and adjust status. That’s exactly why you need the CORRECT visa to do that - a K-1. Why would there even be the need for K-1s if it was perfectly fine to just fly over, get married and stay?
  23. SalishSea
    You will also need to read up on domicile requirements for Montreal - they tend to be quite strict.
  24. SalishSea
    Source?

    Hopefully you realize that she cannot enter on a B-2 with the intention of adjusting status. You need to petition her properly for a CR-1 visa. Depending on the length and frequency of her visits, she could encounter issues with CBP. There are many threads about this on VJ. Also worth noting that she is not permitted to work remotely while visiting on a B-2.
