    LOL, okay, I'm out. Good luck.
  2. SalishSea
    You quoted the wrong person….
  3. SalishSea
    That doesn’t negate other visa requirements, such as providing evidence of the dissolution of prior marriages.
  4. SalishSea
    Right. My point was that even countries that have a systemic record of marriages (the U.S. does not), any marriage that takes place elsewhere and is not reported by the citizen, will not be part of that record.
  5. SalishSea
    No. USCIS is only looking for the basic requirements to approve the petition (the one required visit). Anything else that was not included will have to be brought to the interview.

    A negative can’t be proven. This is why things like the Filipino CENOMAR are useless. People get married and divorced outside of their own countries all the time. Heck, with the advent of the Utah weddings, a Rwandan could marry, and their government would never know.

    This is the problem. Despite our explanations, OP hasn’t figured out that the issue isn’t the applicant’s marital status history; it’s the lies used in an attempt to get a visa, which now require a divorce decree for a marriage that never existed.

    How was my comment an “unnecessary bad feeling”? it was not clear from how you worded things that you realized, based on current processing times, that your petition has awhile before its adjudicated. We get a lot of new members who choose to do a K-1 without understanding current processing times. good luck.

    “Our month is approaching in the queue”? You’re < 5 months in, and the USCIS official processing time for I-129F is 15 months. It won’t be adjudicated anytime soon.

    I’d be surprised if USCIS doesn’t look into this case for fraud.
  11. SalishSea
    Do not lie to USCIS.

    That’s great news, Daisy! Please keep us in the loop. Sounds like he will be all set up to receive the best possible care.

    I have only heard of that making an impact for initial petitions, (such as I-129) when evidence was omitted. Haven’t seen it for AOS or ROC with new evidence. Normally evidence of events that occurred after the packet is sent would be submitted at the interview, if there is one.
  14. SalishSea
    A “service”? Pro tip: always get your immigration info from the consulate website/USCIS/DOS.
  15. SalishSea
    You met this person for the first time just a couple of months ago? You’re 24 and 22? I don’t get the urgency here. Why not spend more time together like one does in a normal relationship? Immigration aside, I’d give your chances of a lasting marriage at quite low in those circumstances.
  16. SalishSea
    There really isn’t a way to submit evidence after filing. If your packet was well-prepared with high quality evidence, I wouldn’t worry about it.
  17. SalishSea
    An expiring visa isn’t an exceptional circumstance, so no. Immigrant visas for the UK are all done via London.
  18. SalishSea
    It doesn’t need to be from the same source. It needs to be from a U.S. source.
  19. SalishSea
    Not with that current income.

    Disabled vets don’t need to meet the same financial parameters as everyone else to sponsor immigrants?

    Since she won’t work, hopefully you understand that she won’t be eligible for social security, and when she becomes eligible for Medicare (after 5 years), it will be at the full cost. You’ll need to have a plan to cover her health care costs in the interim.
  22. SalishSea
    Sounds good. Another thing to consider is that for sponsorship, your salary will only be considered if it is going to continue once you are back in the U.S. You could look into getting an eligible joint sponsor as well.
  23. SalishSea
    Did you submit the documents they've requested? The fact that it is a same sex relationship has no bearing, since same sex marriage is legal in the US.
  24. SalishSea
    Not the same consulate, but my husband's medical was completed, but not received by the consulate by the time he had his interview. It did not measurably impact the overall timing of his visa being issued. Despite common beliefs, no one is "approved" at the interview. Everyone goes through some type of AP, whether it is days, weeks, months etc.
  25. SalishSea
    Yes, you can do the Utah marriage, but you will still be required to meet in person before you can file. You could write a letter of explanation to accompany the divorce decree, describing your 10 year relationship. I really don't see any issues with your situation going forward. Best luck.
