  1. You cannot reside in the US on ESTA. How old are you? You stated that you’re adults, but if so, how are your parents able to so closely control your life like this? Maybe it is time to look for better/full time employment and a more independent living situation?
  2. Doubtful. You sent the petition three months ago? Processing time for I-129F is currently 13.5 months.
  3. Seems a bit odd to discuss marriage within mere weeks of meeting someone, especially when you’ve already had a bad experience with a foreigner…..
  4. Again, I think it will be likely that she’s seen as an immigrant risk. It’s your $185 to try your luck though.
  5. I think you’re misunderstanding the requirements. Individual consulates do not set their own medical requirements.
  6. Where are you located now?
  7. Yes, it will be a negative. B visas are judged on the applicant’s ties to their home country, and a job is a reason to return.
  8. Sure, anyone with a spare $6k can file a WOM. Go for it.
  9. It’s as accurate as the info VJ members are inputting on their timelines. The processing times on USCIS (by service center) is what I’d go with.
  10. Do you have other assets/investments which list him as a beneficiary? Whole life policies are not common. If you have retirement or other investment accounts you can name him as a. Beneficiary of, I wouldn’t worry about cancelling that policy.
  11. Don’t you think that lawyer could possibly have been referring to interview wait times for that consulate…..?
  12. Job offer for foreign remote job? Not sure that would compel an expedite….
  13. Can take 6-8 months, which is a well known drawback of the K-1. You cannot work remotely prior to having an EAD or GC.
  14. Same here. Would never do a K-1 today.
  15. I think the recent huge increase in fees is what is preventing people from filing within 90 days more than anything else. There is not much else you can do ahead of time, since you will be waiting to apply for a marriage license and then later for the certified copy of the marriage certificate before you can proceed.
  16. It is considered spamming to start multiple threads on the same topic, which is why the mods discourage it.
  17. No change to this answer since your last thread about same topic. 6 months from medical exam.
  18. AP is not intended for spending large amounts of time outside of the U.S. also- what will you do if your AOS is denied while you’re gone? You do realize you wouldn’t be able to come back, right?
  19. It means “no” to the waiver request.
  20. Not sure where you’re getting the timeline info, but relying 8 year old timelines is not smart. There is no measurable difference in 2024 between CR-1 and K-1 timelines. Hopefully you also realize that the petition approval is only one step of the process?
  21. And yet millions of people were not required to do that before being approved for a CR-1 visa. 🤔
  22. LOL what? You need to do some more research, as your info is incorrect.
  23. It takes up to two years total. You should familiarize yourself with the forms and current fees. Everything is available on USCIS.gov. If you’re looking at K-1, you also need to learn about adjustment of status and the fees for that. Be proactive.
  24. Just answer the questions normally. Conversational comprehension isn't black and white. The point isn’t that they care why you want to vote , they care that you are able to communicate the reasons in English.
