    Transferring cases to even out workloads is normal, and something USCIS does all the time. Not sure I understand the connection between transferring and requesting an expedite? Because that not grounds for one. If you have legitimate and documented evidence of the need for an expedite of the petition part of the process, you can submit it of course, anyone is free to do so.

    Another thing I’ve noticed over the years, which I find super interesting, is that a lot of these marriages win’t be happening once the U.S. green card is off the table…..🤔

    I notice OP won’t have a lot of other options if they don’t give her spouse a visa, and she wants to stay married.
  4. SalishSea
    It was revoked because they think it’s a green card marriage. You may need to move to Nigeria and create a marriage that looks legit if you ever want him to immigrate. Are you a lot older than him?
  5. SalishSea
    No. I’m suggesting it isn’t a way to bypass administrative processing.
  6. SalishSea
    The issues that invoke admin processing are the same regardless of what visa type you’re seeking.
  7. SalishSea
    You already have your answer.

    She can’t stay and adjust status if they marry- that is only for spouses of US citizens. And- there isn’t anything for you to file in this case, either. He should probably join VJ and look into it.

    This reminded me of many a mid-1980s afternoon spent copying excerpts from our set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, word-for-word, to create a paper for school. Could you donate them to an assisted living/care home?

    Hours, days, months or years. There is no "usually" when it comes to US immigration. Your fiancé's situation and background is unique, and not the same as anyone else's. The best he can do is to submit all of the documents they are requesting asap.

    I strongly advise against the use of any type of marijuana (MM or rec) for immigrants, regardless of state laws. For some, it could be an extra incentive to naturalize under the 3 year rule if eligible.

    They intend to deny. HCMC is a very high fraud consulate, and especially difficult for K-1s. How close to the date of filing did you see your fiancé in person?

    What about a POE of Seattle? The announcements on the train between terminals are spoken in Japanese. Its also a relatively short direct flight from Narita.
  14. SalishSea
    Exactly. I was referring to wavering untreated or inadequately treated TB.
  15. SalishSea
    You already have another person in another country lined up?

    Usually, we recommend DIY here, but your case seems to have multiple issues, so you may want to hire a competent lawyer. If you do, I recommend shopping around and being very selective; there are so many incompetent lawyers out there.
  17. SalishSea
    Right. It would make sense for same-sex partners from a conservative country with a K-2. Otherwise, it makes zero sense. Especially with the huge fee increases coming.

    Look, your petitioner is 19, right? There is no way he has the skills or education yet to be able to support to two of you in 2024 United States. You will be unable to work or drive (or return to the US, if you leave) for upwards of 8 months. That is not a smart financial move, and this ill though-out plan speaks to your youth and inexperience, IMHO. And what do you mean you wouldn't be able to enter the US to marry? How were you able to meet for the required K-1 meeting?
  19. SalishSea
    K-1 is not a smart choice with the financial issues of the petitioner. Also wanted to clarify: the 15 months is for the petition approval only. The next part can take several more months.

    I've been a stay at home mother and wife, as well as a board-certified oncology RN with 25 years of experience, so: I can confidently say that being a non-working spouse/mom is absolutely no easier. Nor does it have lower responsibility. Running a household and keeping children alive and happy is harder work, with higher stakes. Don't underestimate your worth, or your obligations.

    If she is here on a green card, why would she need another visa? Your post doesn't make sense. Very, very odd also that she was able to obtain a visa with that criminal history, as the US consulate would have done their background checks as they do for all immigrant visa applicants. Something does not really add up here.
  22. SalishSea
    It’s not that difficult. Are you using sources like TikTok for your info on immigration? If so, I strongly recommend that you use USCIS, the actual source. And, social security is completely separate from USCIS and immigration.
  23. SalishSea
    “Who is responsible for informing aliens….”? YOU are 100% responsible for informing yourself. It’s part of adulting.
  24. SalishSea
    Seems risky. Why doesn’t he just petition you?
  25. SalishSea
    Of course it makes a difference. Being the spouse of a USC confers no immigrant benefit. She will be out of status and subject to deportation. Also, fees are about to go WAY up.
