    Language school to study English....on an F1.....from France? LOL. Please let us know how that application goes.
  2. SalishSea
    Yes, of course. Any legal marriage is fine.
  3. SalishSea
    Lawyers are not required for this process. Most of us here have never used them. Whether he will give you a refund is between you and the lawyer, as is your choice to use that particular one with apparent mobility issues. None of that is anything anyone here can help you with- it’s all your choices.

    Nope, doesn’t work that way, sorry. Why are you so invested in the situation of a “friend”?
  5. SalishSea
    Student visa? I thought you said he was retired?

    Dude, please empower yourself with the magic of Google. Or look at the US embassy/consulate site for the country she lives in - there will be instructions and links for applying for a B2. It is not rocket science.

    Authorized user and joint account holder are not the same.

    In terms of the law, it would be bigamy. The US doesn't care about the genders of the parties involved, it is illegal full stop.
  9. SalishSea
    "Relationship timeline"? Not required or requested by USCIS. We showed evidence of the required meeting as per the instructions. Also not required by Department of State.

    Ask obvious questions, get obvious answers?

    She can stay for the duration allowed by CBP at entry.
  12. SalishSea
    No such visa exists. If they marry, she can petition him for an immigrant visa (F2A), but he cannot live here in the years it takes for a visa to become available (that class is numerically limited). Like anyone with an ESTA, he can visit per CBP discretion, but under no circumstance should he overstay or work on ESTA.
  13. SalishSea
    This is simply incorrect. A medical exam with report is required for ALL intending immigrants.

    It's for people, at the discretion of the embassy, who have an existing demonstrated urgent need. It doesn't seem as though you qualify.
  15. SalishSea
    DCF exists as a way for US citizens with legitimate urgent reasons to relocate their foreign family to the U.S. It is discretionary and replaces the direct processing program that was in place when all of the international USCIS field offices closed a few years ago. It sounds like you’re trying to fabricate a situation that fits, rather than actually having an urgent need. Why not just petition your spouse for consular processing?
  16. SalishSea
    You need an excellent attorney, as you’re up against fraud here.
  17. SalishSea
    I'm sorry that happened to you. USCIS does not care "why" you left a marriage or divorced. They care that it is legally dissolved prior to filing for a new partner, and that any marriage that led to an immigrant benefit was entered into in good faith. I have to echo Boiler though, why do a K-1, vs a CR-1? Especially since you have lived with your new partner already?
  18. SalishSea
    Filing another petition in a different category does not "reset" the wait time, if that's what you mean. Like others are saying, it is not a bad idea to have two petitions in the works, but either way he has years to wait.
  19. SalishSea
    It is fine.

    How is you supporting him in Turkey any different than supporting him in Lebanon was? There is no immediate path for him to come to the US right now. Can you look into whether an EU country would take him? Generally for refugees, the idea is to resettle in nearby safe countries. He would need to look at neighboring countries.
  21. SalishSea
    Wow. You have a lot to overcome. Rushing to open accounts/name beneficiaries now won't fix the problem, because they'll see that for what it is. Do you not even have joint Costco/health insurance/auto insurance etc? Did you not do any reading about the ROC requirements/expectations?
  22. SalishSea
    There is no waiver available. USCIS does not recognize unconsummated proxy marriages.
  23. SalishSea
    Absolutely not. In addition, although one "can" marry someone without ever having met in person, I strongly discourage anyone from doing that. Why create another red flag for your case? Marriage is a huge commitment and step. VJ is FULL of stories by people who married someone they had met maybe once, and are not absolutely regretting that decision. After all, you wouldn't marry someone in your neighborhood sight unseen, would you? And there is no chance you would get a waiver, sorry.
  24. SalishSea
    No. It means the packet is accepted (correct form and payment, etc) and you’ll get the receipt notice. The adjudication of the contents of the packet will not occur until many months later.
  25. SalishSea
    It’s better not to. Laminating makes it harder to determine authenticity of documents.
