    Listen to Boiler. He is an eternal optimist when it comes to waivers.
  2. SalishSea
    Very much doubt it. Waivers for the K-1 meeting requirement are HARDLY EVER granted. You will need to find a way to meet in person if you want to petition someone.

    You can’t overcome reasons for denial by refiling. Do you really think there is no record-keeping in USCIS/department of state??? You may want to plan to move to his country if you want to live together.
  4. SalishSea
    I don’t think you understand what notaries actually do. They do not certify the authenticity of documents, only the issuing jurisdiction can do that via “certified copy.”
  5. SalishSea
    Why didn’t he file a petition for you 4 months ago when you inquired, if it’s so urgent?
  6. SalishSea
    You are not understanding the process at all. You need to do some reading based on the feedback people have given you in your multiple threads, rather than just dismissing the info you don’t like to hear. And no, you cannot show up on a visitor visa expecting to be admitted to adjust status. That’s 100% FRAUD. You need to be petitioned for a spousal visa like everyone else.
  7. SalishSea
    It can, yes, depending on the consulate involved and the age difference.

    Sorry, but your situation is not an emergency. Most lumps are not cancer. Get the mammogram, bring a friend if you need to. Insist (to insurance/MD/whoever) that you want a 3D tomosynthesis mammogram, and ask for it to be read while you wait. Some breast centers do this. Do this now, do not wait. Even if you had been approved for the expedite, it wouldn't have meant that your husband would be here tomorrow. Do not wait "a few months."

    That isn’t an immigration issue, but it is covered by local and international laws. You definitely need an experienced lawyer.
  10. SalishSea
    Totally agree. I was pointing it out so that hopefully the OP would confirm that it was an adjustment from ESTA. Hard to have sympathy with that choice, since the effect is circumventing the lines.
  11. SalishSea
    Sorry, it’s too late to edit this. I was thinking ROC vs AOS. As others are saying OP, you cannot adjust status via any route other than your marriage. Sorry to hear about the situation.
  12. SalishSea
    You can divorce and switch to a divorce waiver so that you self-sponsor. In the meantime, you’re out of status and deportable. do you have an attorney?
  13. SalishSea
    Well, separation is part of the deal with immigration. Most of us weee separated for MUCH longer than that.
  14. SalishSea
    They don’t really reveal such info, but I would guess they check whatever databases were checked in the interim since the previous checks. They are looking for updates.
  15. SalishSea
    Have you checked the visa bulletin? For 4th preference family visas, the petition approval time isn’t relevant to the visa availability, since they are numerically limited. She probably has another 10-15 years to go.
  16. SalishSea
    It’s irrelevant to the petition. Married is married.
  17. SalishSea
    Unfortunately, that is a bit of a trade off for adjusting and not having to wait in line for a visa like everyone else though.
  18. SalishSea
    OP posted in the AOS from work, tourist, student visas, so it may not have even been a K-1.
  19. SalishSea
    Sounds like you're all set in terms of documents they need. There are always last minute checks for all US visas. Good luck!
  20. SalishSea
    In general, you cannot interview for a US immigrant visa as a tourist in a 3rd country. The only way to know definitively is to request permission from the US consulate in the country where you want to interview.
  21. SalishSea
    You will need to sit for the NCLEX outside of the US, because until you are licensed, you are not eligible for positions requiring licensure.
  22. SalishSea
    You need to have a license to practice as a nurse. The NCLEX is the national exam for licensure. I don't see how an employer could petition someone for a work visa who is not yet qualified for the job.
  23. SalishSea
    You do not have to wait until you are divorced to remove him from an employer-based insurance plan. I'd do it asap.
  24. SalishSea
    Not sure what would be reportable here - they obviously consented to having the cousin prepare the documents, etc. Maybe not a wise choice in retrospect, but not illegal.
  25. SalishSea
    And yet you submitted documentation for the bonafides of the marriage? Was this an arranged marriage/are you related? Unfortunately, some people just suck, but USCIS cannot force someone to stay in a marriage they don't want. The biggest lesson here is to spend as much time as possible in each other's presence before committing to marriage/sponsoring an immigrant. Time spent together is the only way to get to know someone's character. I agree with the others, get a divorce lawyer and move on. Even if your spouse's whereabouts are unknown, you can divorce. Sorry this happened to you.
