    Ugh.
  2. SalishSea
    Not true. Nothing is submitted to NVC for K-1s.
  3. SalishSea
    The visa info should reflect the passport bio page. It is also recommended to not ever purchase flights until the visa is in hand.
  4. SalishSea
    You asked ALL these questions in your previous many threads.
  5. SalishSea
    There is no fixed time allowed. Each border entry is at the discretion of CBP. They will stamp the allowed time in the passport. Note that if you are attempting to “live” in the U.S. for 6 months each year, expect trouble and risk to the B visa. Also- they will wonder how you can afford to do this, and you should know that remote work is NOT allowed.

    Uh, you seem confused. She is in no way eligible for a U.S. passport. A K1 visa will be put into her current passport.

    Nope. Polygamy is illegal in all 50 states. If he wants to live like this, he should stay in his own country.

    Still not sure what you're asking, but: you cannot add a derivative spouse now that you are already here and were not married when you received your visa. If eligible, she can try for her own work visa. Otherwise, as a GC holder, you would petition her as F2A, which like I said, is a numerically limited category for which there is a queue.

    That isn’t really a term for it, but the process starts with you petitioning your wife for an immigrant visa. I-130 is the form. I-485 does not come into play until much later in the process. The process will take many years, as it is a numerically limited category, and not current.

    Even if you petition them now, it will be years before they can get visas. Suggest you don’t petition them until they’re ready to live here full time. And in the meantime, you’ll want to research on how you/they will afford the cost of their healthcare (and overall retirement, since they won’t get social security).

    If you sent in documents that were not required/requested, but that you “thought” would be helpful, they could have opened up another can of worms in terms of AP/background checks.

    Just to clarify: even with a disability, she would not be eligible for any type of disability income or public benefits from the government.

    OP, if your sister needs 24/7 care, they should all go home and be petitioned properly for immigrant visas. Otherwise she risks deportation and a bar.
  14. SalishSea
    They can deny you if it appears that it is a green card marriage.
  15. SalishSea
    She has no basis to adjust though. She will accrue an overstay, which is a bar to adjustment.
  16. SalishSea
    What do you mean adjustment of status? Where is the sister now?
  17. SalishSea
    It’s not an interview- just collection of fingerprints.
  18. SalishSea
    The usc spouse needs to join VJ and research this process, as you don’t apply for anything until much later in the process.

    “I relied on legal counsel” will absolutely not cut it when it comes to misrepresentation and fraud with USCIS/Department of State. The petitioner/beneficiary is 100% responsible for the accuracy of the contents of their forms.
  20. SalishSea
    Nope, green card is not for visiting. One has to wonder where these attorneys were unearthed from. Bad advice upon bad advice. OP, it’s unfortunate that you did not do some basic research years ago, particularly since this isn’t your first experience with US immigration. A word of advice if your wife does complete the interview: do not even think of misrepresenting your current plan to circumvent the issue of domicile. But will not end well, and could result in a permanent bar for your spouse.

    Delete.

    Generally not, unless you are a citizen or permanent resident of neighboring country. You can't "consulate shop." And unless it is a dire, life and death situation, you can't expedite because you don't like the wait time.
  23. SalishSea
    Hopefully have not been working remotely while here. Getting married doesn’t solve the problem in and of itself - you’d still need a green card or work authorization to be able to legally work while present in the U.S.
  24. SalishSea
    Would Canadian disability continue once OP moves to the U.S.?
  25. SalishSea
    You bet! Please let us know how it goes.
