    The length of time for petition approval is not relevant in this case. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin.

    Sounds like she entered on her B2 planning to adjust? That’s fraud, and fortunately no visa number is available to her. As a green card holder yourself, you’ll want to be very careful about committing immigration fraud.

    Like Boiler said, the OP chose to adjust from B/ESTA, and had feedback on the drawbacks on previous thread. That being said: OP, hopefully you see how concerning it is to be starting out your marriage amid food insecurity. Access to food within your household is NOT a normal issue to be dealing with in a marriage, and like everyone else is telling you, the solution starts with communication with your spouse.

    Your entire post screams of fraud. Lawyer up.

    What will have changed to strengthen her ties to home? It’s your $$ to lose, the consulate doesn’t care.
  6. SalishSea
    Yes, well many countries don’t even have pathways for siblings to immigrate…

    How do you plan to support an immigrant during the time when they’re not authorized to work? How will you pay for their health care?
  8. SalishSea
    No such “introductory letter” is necessary. You might get an RFE for clarification. This just shows why sending unnecessary fluff complicated things.
  9. SalishSea
    If the denial was because of not enough time spent in person, you will need to fix that before applying again, even with a spouse visa. There is a lot of fraud out of India.

    Did you make a copy of the form before you submitted it to USCIS?
  11. SalishSea
    Why? Most here did DIY. There may be immigrant assistance type resources in your community who could help you with understanding the forms, but I doubt you’ll get a lawyer to do it for free.

    Nothing has changed. There are no derivatives for spouses of USCs. K1/K3 doesn’t apply. Please refer to USCIS.gov for your info- you’ll be much better off.

    You will be fine. The 125%/I-865 comes into play much later in the K-1 process (probably >one year from now).

    The SS card of an LPR with a 10 year GC looks no different than the SS card of a citizen - there is no need to get new cards.
  16. SalishSea
    In that case, I think you'll be just fine. Are you currently working? Even if your income was temporarily lower last year due to medical/time off, current income (as evidenced by payslips) will be more important than last year's tax return info. I get the feeling that Manila is pretty lenient as well.
  17. SalishSea
    This also is not true. Cutting it so close can lead to a denial, as it is based on the "totality of circumstances." There are many other parameters that the adjudicator can consider, such as age (as it relates to income/earning potential), whether you live in a high COL area, what consulate you are going through, etc.

    What does it say on the MC? I'd stick to however the state of Utah lists it in terms of location, and if the MC doesn't refer to Zoom, I wouldn't.
  19. SalishSea
    Update it how? SSN is for life.
  20. SalishSea
    No, but you will be out of status if you wait. Like Boiler said, marriage itself confers no status. You need that magical receipt notice from filing the I-485 to be in “authorized stay.”
  21. SalishSea
    I was not being sarcastic. It was a reminder of the TOS you agreed to when you signed up. It’s against the TOS to tell people not to comment.
  22. SalishSea
    You’re free to ask anything, and I’m free to comment on anything. It’s in the TOS for the site.
  23. SalishSea
    I thought OP had had a previous B2 visa interview, but his line of questioning makes it sound as if he literally has no footing in reality when it comes to tourist visa interviews.
  24. SalishSea
    Are you an adult over the age of 18?
  25. SalishSea
    K-1 makes no sense. Especially if finances are an issue. But with either fiancee or spouse visa, you need to have domicile/US based income in order to petition someone for an immigrant visa. You need to be up to date on your taxes. Sounds like you're getting bad advice? Best source of legitimate info on this process is USCIS.gov and Visa Journey. I'd forget about TikTok or other sources. Overall, US immigration is not cheap, easy or fast. You'd do well to do as much reading and research as possible - it WILL save you money and time.
