    Just answer the questions normally. Conversational comprehension isn't black and white. The point isn’t that they care why you want to vote , they care that you are able to communicate the reasons in English.

    Not correct for 2024. Either K-1 or CR-1 will take several years, particularly for a Russian. There is no way around her having to interview at a foreign consulate, since the US no longer has a functional consulate in Russia.

    This case will get all kinds of scrutiny for marriage fraud. I predict it will take several years. You should have the US citizen make an account on Visa Journey. There is nothing "fast" about immigration, especially when you are from a very high fraud country.
  4. SalishSea
    I would be worried about having the I485 denied. Doesn't sound like you can afford to bring an immigrant to the US.
  5. SalishSea
    Immigration officers look at EVERYTHING. Do not imagine you will get away with any type of fraud or document tampering. The US consulate officers in your vague African country know all the tricks.
  6. SalishSea
    You were rightly denied entry because you were de facto trying to live in the US on a nonimmigrant status. Going forward, you should plan to use the entry privilege more like a proper tourist, for reasonable periods of time.

    Just follow the petition instructions. It will be 20-25 years before any further documentation (such as DNA test) would be requested by consulate.

    VAWA isn’t just something you “do” just to get a GC. Jeez. there are criteria. You do not meet the criteria. This thread is teetering on TOS violations, I’m out. Will say that the best thing you can do for your kids is to do things completely legally.
  9. SalishSea
    She is not eligible to sponsor you for a GC because your marriage is no longer valid.
  10. SalishSea
    She needs to show strong ties to home. Being unemployed is a negative. They don't look at documents during the interview, as 100% of the info needed to make a decision is contained in the DS-160. You might be better off having your wife sponsor her when she becomes a citizen.
  11. SalishSea
    No, you were only able to adjust status through that marriage, and it was not her responsibility to inform you about getting an SSN. You will definitely need a family lawyer regarding your kids. That is not an immigration issue. So you have been here out of status for 7 years and you're just now looking into this?
  12. SalishSea
    Do you have an actual question? Because from what you've said, she is just waiting. No one here will be able to estimate how long she will need to wait to hear from the consulate.
  13. SalishSea
    No. He needs to get his tax filings up to date in order to sponsor an immigrant. Even if you get to the point of an interview, the case will be put into administrative processing until the requirements are met.
  14. SalishSea
    You don't have enough info for anyone to meaningfully answer this. I suggest the person in question comes and asks her own questions.
  15. SalishSea
    They may suspect (also as evidenced by your inquiry here) that you will not return to your country.
  16. SalishSea
    Unfortunately, no.
  17. SalishSea
    Are you from a high-risk.high-fraud country? There is a lot of vetting for B visas from certain countries due to some history. Or if you had travelled to certain a countries, it would also trigger scrutiny. Requesting additional info after a tourist visa interview is atypical.
  18. SalishSea
    Not needed.
  19. SalishSea
    The 2 year J-1 residency waiver is not forgiven however, without an approved waiver.
  20. SalishSea
    You sound desperate to get to the US. Why is that?
  21. SalishSea
    This is the correct answer.
  22. SalishSea
    They will not remove vaccine requirements. The US doesn't want or need another pandemic. Like others have said, a waiver may be available, but will add time to your case. If you have had other vaccines but are objecting to the Covid one on "moral" grounds, expect a denial.
  23. SalishSea
    Did not know this was allowed.
  24. SalishSea
    The bonafides are not something to dismiss, OP. Your relationship will be scrutinized. Green card marriage fraud is common, so relationships are vetted, even more so depending on what country he is from. You are getting excellent advice from veteran Visa Journey members, and it has been the experience of MANY here that marrying on the first in-person visit, filing immediately, and having minimal time spent together before the interview will not bode well for you. The financial aspect is important, yes, but no more so than other components to the totality of your application. Also- Montreal is the only option for where he will eventually interview.

    Maybe I am wrong, but I get the feeling OP has not yet met her fiancé in person.
