    It will entirely depend on whether you can convince them that you will comply by the terms of the nonimmigrant F-1 visa, and return home after your degree is completed. If you’ve had family members come over as nonimmigrants and stay, that doesn’t bode well.
  2. SalishSea
    Unfortunately, a “100 % guarantee” from friends to help you may not be acceptable.

    In theory, but it’s no more likely to work out for him. Unless the CO failed to consider evidence that was presented or could be presented, it will be denied. Cant show evidence you don’t have. Usually, this results from marrying at first sight and very little time spent together in person combined with other red flags/fraud indications, etc.

    So you’re now trying to sponsor a second relative to adjust from a tourist visa? Eventually they’ll stop giving your relatives visitor visas…..

    As you found out in your previous thread, you can’t bring a sibling to the U.S. for at least 20 YEARS. these visas are for “family reunification.” If you’re not even living in the U.S., there is nothing to reunify.

    A friend’s just took over a year out of Seattle. Hopefully it has sped up by now. She received her new card in October.
  7. SalishSea
    Then why are you worried?
  8. SalishSea
    So she will need a waiver?
  9. SalishSea
    No, he won’t be able to do that.
  10. SalishSea
    “Opt out”. Does she have the cash to pay for whatever medical services she might need, like surgery, cancer care, drugs, etc?
  11. SalishSea
    Kinda like how Stockholm covers Norway…..
  12. SalishSea
    How is this even relevant? And why not direct the “friend” here to ask his own questions, rather than trying to impart third hand info?
  13. SalishSea
    Exactly. OP assumed those of us responding didn’t have first-hand knowledge because our replies didn’t fit with his incorrect assumptions.
  14. SalishSea
    I agree. Because of the time sensitivity, and how convoluted this case is, I would try that, OP. There may not be much help available until after the new year, though.
  15. SalishSea
    Then I wouldn’t worry. You should get the NOA1 receipt shortly.

    “They” don’t “expect” anything. Why did you choose to pursue a K-1, instead of the CR-1? We have all had to wait our turns in the queue. US immigration is a series of long waits for each steps. If you decide to marry, you’ll abandon the K-1. You can then start the CR-1 process if you want. What method of payment did you use? Was the check cashed/card charged? Did you correctly send your packet to the lockbox?
  17. SalishSea
    Exactly . Coming in confidently incorrect, and asking VJ veterans offering CORRECT advise to not comment….. so tiresome.
  18. SalishSea
    In that case, why did you create this long, unnecessary thread and reprimand those of us trying to help by explaining how this works?
  19. SalishSea
    Time to remind you of the TOS for this site…… Also- why do you need to redo the medical? We didn’t. If you voluntarily deferred doing part of it (vaccines) then that’s on you.
  20. SalishSea
    And fire the attorney for giving very bad advice. There is no way out of removing conditions, even if USCIS makes an error. You should have filed while the 1-90 was pending.
  21. SalishSea
    You most likely can’t.
  22. SalishSea
    You don’t qualify for the visa. There is no appealing the decision, if that was your question.
  23. SalishSea
    If she’s working remotely while in the US on a tourist visa, that is illegal, and could compromise her ability to get an immigrant visa or green card in the future!
  24. SalishSea
    The “front-loading” for difficult consulates is done in case further evidence isn’t looked at at the interview, because the CO isn’t obligated to look at it. it would be helpful if you did a timeline or told us which consulate you’re going through. There is a yes/no check box on the form that pertains to criminal history. Therefore, no further info is required from you. Background checks on the USC will be pulled by USCIS and/or DOS to confirm. edit: just noticed that you did say in the OP it is Brazil! I’m not familiar enough with that consulate to know whether it is wise to front-load. You can get country-specific info by clicking on the portal.
  25. SalishSea
    No, you don’t have “either option.” Either they are currently here, or they are not. They can’t enter with intent to adjust status- that’s immigration fraud. They have not paid into Medicare/social security, and will not be eligible for the benefits. As others have said, after five years they may be eligible to purchase Medicare benefits. Won’t be cheap.
