    Not a smart plan for a high-fraud consulate. They will take it for what it obviously is- a green card marriage.
  2. 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?

    You will also need to read up on domicile requirements for Montreal - they tend to be quite strict.

    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.

    My statement to that effect was in direct response to that OP's statement "The engagement ceremony in Cambodia is pretty much a wedding." If you read the entire thread of this OP, his situation was clearly very different than yours, so citing this thread as evidence of engagement ceremonies as being no problem is disingenuous for future VJ members seeking info, IMHO.

    That was not a K1 visa application - it was a petition. You should familiarize yourself with the process and the terms, they matter. They probably won't outright reject your petition, but you may get delayed with RFE(s), because the two main requirements are evidence of meeting in the two years prior, and evidence of intent to marry. If you simply described your circumstances of meeting in #54 without supporting evidence, they will RFE that.

    Would not have made a measurable difference overall. Manila also has quite the backup for interviews.

    Immigration-related data is saved indefinitely. This is why lies made on forms in the past come back to haunt you.

    There is not a significant difference in time from filing to visa between the two these days.
  11. SalishSea
    So it sounds like your visa is revoked for not complying with the terms of the student visa, and you are asking if you're eligible for another visa? The best thing would be to apply for admission and then apply for another visa. But if you have a family preference visa available, that might be the path of least resistance.

    That is fraud. He needs to petition her properly for an immigrant visa, or she risks a misrepresentation bar.
  13. SalishSea
    It sounds like none of that was planned out properly. If your fiance wants to live in the US, you need to petition her for the correct visa. She was denied entry because she did not have the correct visa. Moving to the US is not simply presenting yourself at the border. Immigration is a long and expensive process. I suggest you both do lots of research and reading so that you avoid more pitfalls.

    Online "relationship evidence" is weak. Do not include it. The best evidence is time spent in person.
  15. SalishSea
    We did not submit much for AOS. By the time our interview was scheduled though, we had AMPLE evidence of marital life, financial commingling, etc. Send what you have now, and then set about to get both names on household bills, leases/titles if applicable, joint insurance, name spouse as retirement account beneficiary, etc and then of course file your taxes as MFJ. USCIS realizes the evidence for K-1 AOS will be scant, so they expect you to bring it to the interview, plus submit subsequent evidence with your ROC when time for that. Btw, we did not send any photos whatsoever. We eloped and just had selfies for our wedding, but the immigration officer asked to see them at the interview.
  16. SalishSea
    They will not expedite that.

    You will need to go through the local courts where you will be living for that type of name change. Since you two are creating a new name, this will be the process for you both. In terms of it being recognized in your own country, that is probably beyond the scope of VisaJourney, but I'm sure you can utilize the Google and find out. The courts will provide documentation of the legal name change.

    I thought you said in another thread that you’re in the military, which is how you’re naturalizing so early?
  19. SalishSea
    Just follow the instructions they provided.
  20. SalishSea
    This is what we are telling you is NOT permitted under the terms of a B visa. Working remotely- don’t do it!
  21. SalishSea
    OP, you are not permitted to work remotely while visiting. It appears you have been using the B visa to try and live in the US. Don't do that, it isn't allowed. Your parents need to petition you for an immigrant visa if you want to be able to work and live in the US.
  22. SalishSea
    Why do you need a waiver? Which consulate issued the 221g?
  23. SalishSea
    Have her bring evidence of all of that. Unfortunately, she is at risk for being denied entry.
  24. SalishSea
    Department of State, actually. These are post-interview background checks.
  25. SalishSea
    More extensive background checks are done for males from certain countries.
