    This is incorrect.

    Unfortunately, it takes some effort, and deliberately commingling financials is what most people do. That said, we had no problems even though my husband is not on the deed to my house, since I owned it prior to marriage. We did have joint accounts, jointly owned assets, and each other as beneficiaries.

    Been that way for years, since they closed all of the USCIS international offices.

    I believe the official approval time currently on USCIS is around 13 months. Could be shorter or longer obviously. Time spent at NVC is mostly dependent upon consulate.

    At this point, you have no choice but to wait for it.

    No. If you're under AP for your visa renewal, the old visa would be voided.

    I don't think you are eligible to bring someone over on a family reunification visa unless you are domiciled in the US. You may need to wait until you return to the US.

    What do you mean? There is only one correct answer.

    You cannot (and SHOULD not) attempt to file without a marriage certificate. The petition will be denied. As you were told multiple times in this thread, you will soon be out of status until you've properly filed to adjust.
  10. SalishSea
    I agree, other parameters will impact this. In particular, whether other adult relatives have overstayed/adjusted.

    Her B2 denial had nothing to do with applying from a country where she is residing. It was because they rightly suspect immigrant intent. Petition her properly for a visa and it will not be an issue.

    You will need a bachelor's degree.

    How do you know "they always come back with nothing"? Department of state does not make those results available. You seem surprised that this is happening. The US does not have diplomatic relations with Iran, so it is completely expected. WOM cannot waive or expedite background checks. Seems like perhaps you received faulty legal advice. It can compel a decision, but if the extensive security process done for Iranians is not complete, that decision defaults to a denial.

    Right, it very well may take that long, which is why we usually do not recommend trying to get an extension. It's the gamble you take when doing that.

    It isn't within the scope of practice of individual USCIS officers to keep tabs on transit visa requirements for thousands of GC holding nationals traveling to thousands of other countries. That isn't really a reasonable expectation to have...
  16. SalishSea
    USCIS has NO authority over the ability of GC holders to transit other countries. This issue is 100% between the UK and Kenya.

    The queue is long because of all the people who applied before you. Why should you be able to “do something” because you don’t feel like waiting?
  18. SalishSea
    Pregnancy is not a reason for expedite.
  19. SalishSea
    K-1 for Pakistan will be no quicker than a spousal visa. especially with the denial you will get if you do “wedding functions” first. You do realize that k-1s would be subject to the same backlogs at that embassy?
  20. SalishSea
    Why in the world would you willingly choose to be here illegally???
  21. SalishSea
    That makes no sense.

    She absolutely needs to tell the truth about the reasons for her visit, and who her contacts are in the US.
  23. SalishSea
    IMHO you're not getting an immigrant visa for the US, DV or otherwise..
  24. SalishSea
    I can’t imagine those will be issues. The DOS is very well versed in the identification of gang tattoos.

    99% of I-129F K-1 petitions are processed at CSC. The other 1% are criminal background cases which are sent to Vermont. For other petition types, processing center assigned is unrelated to petitioner’s state/region of residence.
