    Much longer than what? Getting a green card via the K-1 process takes much, much longer. Please do some reading about the K-1 and adjustment of status. Also, you have t really responded re: working in the U.S. illegally. That could create problems later on for you.
  2. SalishSea
    Be aware that working in the US (yes, even remotely) without work authorization is not legal, and could well compromise your ability to get an immigrant visa/green card.
  3. SalishSea
    They may assume you’re working illegally in the U.S.

    Have you read any of this thread?
  5. SalishSea
    Nope, that is immigration fraud. The USC needs to petition you for either a CR-1 or K-1. I suggest you ask your partner to begin researching the process. You both need to understand how it works.
  6. SalishSea
    You need to read up on domicile. It is a big deal for certain consulates.

    Available in Venezuela?

    Exactly. "Exceptional circumstances" doesn't include not wanting to wait for normal consular processing. There is no such urgency to this situation. They are young, not even married yet, petitioner is an au pair, and they don't even live in the same country.
  9. SalishSea
    I don't see DCF happening in this situation.

    Good point. OP, a quick glance at Wikipedia makes it pretty clear that cousin marriages that take place in states other than Mississippi are void, which means you'll have zero chance at a visa. You may want to revisit your overall plan. Do you have your heart set on living in the US? Pakistan is fraught with a myriad of problems for US immigration already, adding a marriage that is widely illegal in the US will not help your case. In your case, it might be easier for you to live in Pakistan.

    Here is an example an appeal in a similar situation. It can be tricky, so you will want a competent immigration lawyer who has dealt with cousin marriage. Unfortunately, there isn’t any way to know this case was ultimately resolved. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/D6 - Fiancees and Fiances of U.S. Citizen (K-1)/Decisions_Issued_in_2021/JUN092021_01D6101.pdf

    Absolutely, if you want an immigrant visa. The marriage must be legal in the state where you intend to reside.
  13. SalishSea
    Do NOT lie about being cousins. You will NOT get away with it. If you want to marry your cousin and get an immigrant visa for her, you will 100% have to live in a state that allows cousin marriage. This is non-negotiable, and it applies so whether you go the K-1 or CR-1 route.
  14. SalishSea
    Yes.
  15. SalishSea
    Petitioner must provide criminal records if there are any. Beneficiary will need police clearance. Both need to show evidence of final termination of prior marriages. These are requirements for the petition though, not the consulate. Some consulates will ask for further evidence of the parent-child relationship (beyond petition requirements), but you will not know until the interview.
  16. SalishSea
    What do you mean “your” interview? Or are you hoping to attend the beneficiary’s visa interview? What were you arrested for?
  17. SalishSea
    So when you overstayed he was not yet a citizen?
  18. SalishSea
    Not the address itself, but not being domiciled in the US definitely could delay things.

    What Family (who is one of the kinder VJ members, in fact) is saying is that the consulate will not spoon-feed you the requirements to overcome this inadmissibility. Why? Well, because honestly that is not their job. If he really does want to immigrate to the U.S., it is 100% your husband’s responsibility to figure out his next step by contacting the clinic where he had the medical exam. Neither the clinic nor the United States consulate will be proactive about it- it’s entirely up to the applicant. I'm sure it’s frustrating for you to be trying to do this on his behalf, but really he needs to step up and take an active role in this, since it is entirely down to his choices.
  20. SalishSea
    As the biggest stakeholder in all of this, it is his sole responsibility to comply with the terms of US immigrant visas if he wants to live here. Just passively waiting a year and expecting it to “all work out” seems naive at best. You may want to look at relocating both of you to a different part of Columbia if you want your family to be reunited. I don’t foresee a different outcome a year from now.
  21. SalishSea
    You’ll need to replace the lost one. As to your other question, the residency rules for naturalizing are not going to be waived because you write a cover letter asking for that.
  22. SalishSea
    Not sure how a visa application could be done remotely. Don’t they all require biometrics?
  23. SalishSea
    You thought wrong. You’ll also be required to submit police checks from your country of origin, and anywhere else you’ve lived. Medical history will be documented via the exam. It sure sounds like you’re trying to hide something from the U.S. government, which could make you inadmissible? If so, don’t bother. They’ll find it.
  24. SalishSea
    The OP answered previously. It’s Pakistan.
  25. SalishSea
    US citizens are not eligible for immigrant visas. Have you looked at the link provided, as suggested? You need to start there to begin to understand this process.
