    Photos are not primary evidence for the required meeting, because they do not show a date. Boarding passes and passport stamps are best. Flight itineraries are not good, because they can be printed and then a trip not taken. No, you cannot “bring” your fiancé to the US while the visa process is underway. Does she have a B2 visa already? She can apply for that, unlikely to get.
  2. SalishSea
    Sibling visas cannot be expedited.
  3. SalishSea
    You are required to mention it (they know about it anyway)….
  4. SalishSea
    Why even do a K-1 though? That’s what makes no sense.

    Your father (a USC/LPR, right?) lives in a congressional district and also has two U.S. senators from the state where he resides. Your father can reach out to them, and they can make an inquiry on his behalf at the U.S. consulate to try to get info about your case.

    Likely much longer overall, since it’s Pakistan.

    They are talking about Dublin, a POE/preclearance site for US CBP. Visas are processed and travelers are admitted prior to ever getting on the flight.

    I think the FOIA is essential, and probably a lawyer, too. Maybe @Boiler will arrive and weigh in on the waiver issue, but I would expect it to be difficult to obtain a waiver for a tourist visa to visit siblings.
  9. SalishSea
    Sorry, “jokes” was a typo, and it’s too late to edit. I meant “holes.” You left some vital details out of your original post.
  10. SalishSea
    Okay so zero percent of this was clear from your initial post. It's not our fault if we can’t understand a poorly-explained story with jokes in it. You were denied entry for immigrant intent. You will need to develop stronger ties do Canada if you want to be admitted to the U.S. With a history of illegal crossings (into either country), that will be challenging.
  11. SalishSea
    So you crossed from the US into Canada illegally, and then tried to come back into the U.S., on what type of visa? What is your citizenship?
  12. SalishSea
    “Insulted” you for crossing the border? What does that even mean? If you want meaningful feedback about your situation, you’ll have to try to explain it adequately.
  13. SalishSea
    Anyone in the world? Probably. why post something so vague?
  14. SalishSea
    I can’t speak to the laws of other countries, but the bottom line is that people visit the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas are not permitted to do any type of work (including online) without authorization.
  15. SalishSea
    Anyway, all of this was explained to you in depth in your previous thread about it: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/812878-please-help-travelling-while-adjustment-of-status/#comment-10918339
  16. SalishSea
    You entered on ESTA, then decided to marry and try to adjust status. They will rightly assume you’ll try to do the same thing, to avoid the queue. You could try for a B visa, but I don’t see that happening either, with your history.
  17. SalishSea
    OP, have you read the guides? The petition processing time is only one part of the overall process.
  18. SalishSea
    What do you mean? That affidavit isn’t a thing in the U.S. If that is a special requirement of the Chinese government, you should ask a mod to move your thread to the China forum.

  20. SalishSea
    One year? Where are you getting that timeline? I believe the petition processing time for the I-129F is still 15 months, is it not?
  21. SalishSea
    If you do a CR-1, there is no way to know which processing center the petition will go to, as it isn’t based on the petitioner’s state of residency. All immigrant visa interviews (as well as K-1) for Canada go through Montreal. Both K-1 and CR-1 processes will take up to two years start to finish.
  22. SalishSea
    You will not be authorized to work remotely until you have an EAD, so being able to “work from anywhere” isn’t actually an advantage.
  23. SalishSea
    So they're going to leave the US to do that?
  24. SalishSea
    Since at least 2018 (the year we did our K-1), possibly before.
  25. SalishSea
    99% of I-129F petitions are processed at the California Service Center. The other 1% are sent to Vermont for processing due to certain (AWA) criminal history of the petitioner. This is true for other petition types. I-129F are ALL processed in California, and have been for years.
