    No, this is not a thing.
  2. SalishSea
    That wouldn't have been a reason to delay adjusting status though....
  3. SalishSea
    Making such assumptions/errors will lead to delays or even denials. Please do your research.
  4. SalishSea
    No.
  5. SalishSea
    No, but he would be out of status and subject to deportation.
  6. SalishSea
    A year ago, this wouldn't have been a big deal. In October 2025, I'd say you should move heaven and earth to avoid ever being out of status. Do not under any circumstances send an incomplete packet though.

    The OP did not mention moving in with the brother. She wrote: "Would my name showing up on an apartment lease be enough to prove U.S. residence? My brother lives in the U.S. and he can likely get me into his current lease." To me, this sounds manufactured, like a paperwork modification vs an authentic piece of evidence of domicile. Maybe to you it is not a big deal, but per the TOS rules here at VJ, we cannot recommend creating evidence which is not in good faith. The best evidence for all steps of US immigration is genuine evidence. Yes, even for low-fraud, low-risk consulates.

    I said it is *inadequate* as evidence of domicile. Which, it is. Per OP's post, she lived in the US for <5 years. Adding her name to a brother's lease is fine, but more compelling evidence of domicile/intent to would be US tax filing records, banking records, driver's license, etc.
  9. SalishSea
    No, that is inadequate evidence of domicile. Especially since it would obviously be fake - adding your name to a lease where you do not live.

    You cannot bring them over on a visitor’s visa with the intent to adjust status. That is fraud. And it would seem unkind to put someone who is already suffering from cognitive decline through potential US immigration red tape that way.
  11. SalishSea
    And I’ve seen plenty of cases with 3-6 month delays caused by lawyers or agencies, unfortunately.
  12. SalishSea
    Right, but it won't change how long the process takes, or make an approval more likely.
  13. SalishSea
    So you came on a B visa just this month and have already decided "just kidding" about what you told the consular officer about your tourism intentions?
  14. SalishSea
    There is no “accreditation” for companies that assist with visas. There is no advantage to using a lawyer for that part of the process.
  15. SalishSea
    Realistically, she will need to move to you. Will you still want the marriage if the green card is off the table?
  16. SalishSea
    I doubt anyone here will be able to answer that based on personal experience. It is very rare that a K-1 petitioner is required to do biometrics or attend an interview.
  17. SalishSea
    Delay it for a whole hour?
  18. SalishSea
    It absolutely is our business, as OP has reached out in a public forum for “urgent” advice. Many of us here have years and years of experience navigating the U.S. immigration system, and if anything, it has turned us into realists. It doesn’t benefit anyone to sugarcoat and give false hopes. What OP has absolutely looks like a GC marriage, and no lawyer can magically change that.

    Supporting documentation for B2 visas is rarely considered. The evaluation of eligibility for a B visa is made entirely on the information you provide on the DS-160.
  20. SalishSea
    No, he cannot come to visit with the plan to adjust status and stay. That is visa fraud.
  21. SalishSea
    Zero time spent together in person during a ten year marriage would strongly suggest they are not.
  22. SalishSea
    I would just file with the new address. It doesn't matter if you mail the packet when your fiance is visiting, or not.
  23. SalishSea
    This is an ABSURD idea, and will only serve to confirm that you are in this for a green card, which is how it already looks. OP, you have an uphill battle. You will not be coming to the United States anytime soon, if at all. Like others have said, the best thing you could do is have your wife move to Pakistan and live together as married partners. The vetting and scrutiny is wayyyy harsher now than it was 10 years ago.
  24. SalishSea
    Good. Weed out the abuse. They need to do something similar for the F-1 diploma mills too.
  25. SalishSea
    Very unlikely she will get a B visa. Your money would be better spent visiting Russia.
