  1. Most K-1s do not need to go to a U.S. civil surgeon/ do the I-693.
  2. It will be picked up. I have never heard of a lockbox item being returned to sender because it wasn't "picked up."
  3. Not eligible for a K-4. If your expedite requests have been denied (as they will, if the reason is just that you’re tired of waiting), there really isn’t anything else that you can do.
  4. If he’s unwilling to pay for legal counsel, at the very least ask him to join VJ. He’s clearly ill-prepared. It’s not just a matter of “filling in forms.”
  5. So your stepparent allowed all this time to elapse without doing anything at all? SSN has no bearing on it whatsoever. Your stepparent absolutely needs a lawyer.
  6. And also OP- ultimately, your husband is 100% responsible for the content of what he submits.
  7. Exactly. And with the type of salary she would be able to earn (assuming she would work in housekeeping/ home health aid/retail), the social security earnings would not be enough to live on.
  8. No. They are third party apps.
  9. You need a plan B, as in moving to his country. I think him getting an immigrant visa is unlikely.
  10. You'll want to research this very, very carefully. She will not be eligible for any type of Medicare or social security, and you will be signing a document agreeing that she will not try to get means-tested benefits. Health care premiums will cost you several thousands of dollars per month.
  11. You misunderstand. For US immigration purposes, only legal marriage counts.
  12. The length of time for petition approval is not relevant in this case. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin.
  13. Sounds like she entered on her B2 planning to adjust? That’s fraud, and fortunately no visa number is available to her. As a green card holder yourself, you’ll want to be very careful about committing immigration fraud.
  14. Like Boiler said, the OP chose to adjust from B/ESTA, and had feedback on the drawbacks on previous thread. That being said: OP, hopefully you see how concerning it is to be starting out your marriage amid food insecurity. Access to food within your household is NOT a normal issue to be dealing with in a marriage, and like everyone else is telling you, the solution starts with communication with your spouse.
  15. What will have changed to strengthen her ties to home? It’s your $$ to lose, the consulate doesn’t care.
  16. Yes, well many countries don’t even have pathways for siblings to immigrate…
  17. How do you plan to support an immigrant during the time when they’re not authorized to work? How will you pay for their health care?
  18. No such “introductory letter” is necessary. You might get an RFE for clarification. This just shows why sending unnecessary fluff complicated things.
  19. If the denial was because of not enough time spent in person, you will need to fix that before applying again, even with a spouse visa. There is a lot of fraud out of India.
  20. Did you make a copy of the form before you submitted it to USCIS?
