  1. If so, you’ll receive a 221g, pending medical results. Probably smarter to just delay interview.
  2. In your other post, you’re asking about the petition. If you’re at the pre-petition stage, you don’t need to be worrying about W2s, as that’s 1-2 years from now.
  3. You have just explained precisely why photos are NOT evidence of the one required meeting in the two years prior! Letters/affidavits are also nonsense; not required, or requested. Please download the instructions for the I-129F from USCIS.gov for reference.
  4. I think you’ll find that it takes longer than 15 years. His country of chargeability will still be India.
  5. You cannot expedite for pregnancy. Sure, you can ask- but don’t be surprised if they refuse. And HCMC is not an “easy” consulate.
  6. It will be processed at California, unless you have certain AWA-related criminal history, in which case it will go to Vermont. The random assignment of other processing centers is for other petition types, not 129F.
  7. The thing is, the “ongoing relationship” evidence isn’t required for K-1. The requirement is evidence of meeting once during the immediate prior two years, and evidence of both partners’ willingness (and eligibility) to marry each other within 90 days. That’s it. Feel free to send what you wish. For some high fraud/high risk consulates (Lagos, for example) it is beneficial to “front load” the petition with additional evidence of meetings, and ONE meeting (minimum requirement) might not be enough. But for low/average fraud locations, the requirements set by USCIS are usually adequate. YMMV.
  8. And yet, exchanging work related emails is NOT what happened in OP’s case. He clearly states she was working remotely full time for 5.5 months, living in the U.S. and supporting herself with that job. That is not the purview of the “business” function of a B-1 visa.
  9. You do not know what you are talking about, bro. She still needs work authorization to work remotely for a foreign employer in the U.S. it isn’t about taking a job from a USC/LPR, it’s about WORKING while IN the U.S.
  10. I suggest you rely on USCIS as a source for petition requirements, and not YouTube, WhatsApp, etc. We printed out the directions that accompany the petition and used that as our guide. Sending chat logs, affidavits, and other non-required info can raise questions, increasing your chance of an RFE, IMHO.
  11. Why do you think you need letters from family and friends? Absolutely not needed or helpful.
  12. "Business purposes" means attending a class or conference related to one's job or profession. It doesn't mean living in the US for 6 months and working remotely. So she told CBP she'd be working while here, and supporting herself that way? Since she just had one nonimmigrant visa denied for immigrant intent, I'd be very surprised if the B hadn't also been revoked. And yes, CBP has access to consular notes.
  13. So she'd be happy to never return to Mexico again? Because that is kind of the deal with asylum.
  14. Doesn't matter, she is still not allowed to work while in the US on a B visa. Unauthorized work is a quick way for her to get herself inadmissable to the US. And you can bet that with the F1 denial, CBP will be making notes on her long trips to the US.... She has violated the terms of the B visa, and it should rightly be revoked. If she wants to live and work in the US, she needs an immigrant visa. She's certainly taking a gamble on her future ability to get a visa.
  15. And it doesn’t mean it is being “processed online.” It will still be dispatched to one of the service centers (Nebraska, Potomac, Texas etc) to be put in the queue for adjudication.
  16. Correct! My husband has his shriveled non-functioning kidneys still. The transplant is actually more anterior to regular kidney location, and the scar is on his right lower belly/side. And I totally agree about sticking to your original plan. Transplant medicine is very specialized, and you want the center/surgeons/program to have LOTS of experience, which would not be found in a country like the DR. The paired donation is probs our backup plan, although I'm not sure what the age cutoff is to donate.
  17. If he got out so recently, I’m sure USCIS will want the court records, as his recent address/employment info on the petition will make it clear that he was incarcerated for a significant chunk of time.
  18. This might be a reason to reach out to your US senator.
  19. 1) is it that Japan does not issue birth certificates to non-citizens born there? Is there any hospital documentation that was issued, even if no BC? 2). If that is the case, can you print out the relevant Japanese law/policy which states as much? 3) Does your Swedish BC list the overseas location of your birth?
  20. I didn’t think gift tax would apply in this situation. OP may want to consult with CPA, since it isn’t really an immigration issue.
  21. Omg, sending love to you! My husband has a kidney transplant, so I totally get it. Just wanted to say that in the absence of a match in the family, there also may be the option for you to donate a kidney to a third party, and for your husband to receive an unrelated matched kidney. Sounds like he does have potential family matches, though, which is excellent. Can any of the potential donor testing be done in the DR? Btw, I don't usually recommend this, but in your case it might be good to contact your US senator/congressional rep for assistance. Especially given the time urgency.....and, they might be more willing to help because of the PR/human interest aspect. Feel free to DM me if you want. My husband received a sibling's kidney >20 years ago, and is doing great - even got through a COVID infection unscathed. *Hugs*
  22. It is possible to remove conditions with a divorce waiver, but you'd need to get going on that divorce. You can divorce, even if your spouse refuses to participate in the process. Annulments in the United States are rare. You will still need to provide ample evidence of a good faith marriage - knowing someone for 20 years is not enough. Focus on the financial/life commingling evidence.
  23. Seems like you're looking at it from a tax perspective, but I'm thinking more along the lines of commingling finances before marriage, which is obviously a personal decision. Money brought from overseas will not be subject to US income tax, as it was not income earned in the US.
