    Right. It would make sense for same-sex partners from a conservative country with a K-2. Otherwise, it makes zero sense. Especially with the huge fee increases coming.

    Look, your petitioner is 19, right? There is no way he has the skills or education yet to be able to support to two of you in 2024 United States. You will be unable to work or drive (or return to the US, if you leave) for upwards of 8 months. That is not a smart financial move, and this ill though-out plan speaks to your youth and inexperience, IMHO. And what do you mean you wouldn't be able to enter the US to marry? How were you able to meet for the required K-1 meeting?
  3. SalishSea
    K-1 is not a smart choice with the financial issues of the petitioner. Also wanted to clarify: the 15 months is for the petition approval only. The next part can take several more months.

    I've been a stay at home mother and wife, as well as a board-certified oncology RN with 25 years of experience, so: I can confidently say that being a non-working spouse/mom is absolutely no easier. Nor does it have lower responsibility. Running a household and keeping children alive and happy is harder work, with higher stakes. Don't underestimate your worth, or your obligations.

    If she is here on a green card, why would she need another visa? Your post doesn't make sense. Very, very odd also that she was able to obtain a visa with that criminal history, as the US consulate would have done their background checks as they do for all immigrant visa applicants. Something does not really add up here.

    It’s not that difficult. Are you using sources like TikTok for your info on immigration? If so, I strongly recommend that you use USCIS, the actual source. And, social security is completely separate from USCIS and immigration.

    “Who is responsible for informing aliens….”? YOU are 100% responsible for informing yourself. It’s part of adulting.
  8. SalishSea
    Seems risky. Why doesn’t he just petition you?
  9. SalishSea
    Of course it makes a difference. Being the spouse of a USC confers no immigrant benefit. She will be out of status and subject to deportation. Also, fees are about to go WAY up.

    Photos are not primary evidence for the required meeting, because they do not show a date. Boarding passes and passport stamps are best. Flight itineraries are not good, because they can be printed and then a trip not taken. No, you cannot “bring” your fiancé to the US while the visa process is underway. Does she have a B2 visa already? She can apply for that, unlikely to get.
  11. SalishSea
    Sibling visas cannot be expedited.
  12. SalishSea
    You are required to mention it (they know about it anyway)….
  13. SalishSea
    Why even do a K-1 though? That’s what makes no sense.

    Your father (a USC/LPR, right?) lives in a congressional district and also has two U.S. senators from the state where he resides. Your father can reach out to them, and they can make an inquiry on his behalf at the U.S. consulate to try to get info about your case.

    Likely much longer overall, since it’s Pakistan.

    They are talking about Dublin, a POE/preclearance site for US CBP. Visas are processed and travelers are admitted prior to ever getting on the flight.

    I think the FOIA is essential, and probably a lawyer, too. Maybe @Boiler will arrive and weigh in on the waiver issue, but I would expect it to be difficult to obtain a waiver for a tourist visa to visit siblings.
  18. SalishSea
    Sorry, “jokes” was a typo, and it’s too late to edit. I meant “holes.” You left some vital details out of your original post.
  19. SalishSea
    Okay so zero percent of this was clear from your initial post. It's not our fault if we can’t understand a poorly-explained story with jokes in it. You were denied entry for immigrant intent. You will need to develop stronger ties do Canada if you want to be admitted to the U.S. With a history of illegal crossings (into either country), that will be challenging.
  20. SalishSea
    So you crossed from the US into Canada illegally, and then tried to come back into the U.S., on what type of visa? What is your citizenship?
  21. SalishSea
    “Insulted” you for crossing the border? What does that even mean? If you want meaningful feedback about your situation, you’ll have to try to explain it adequately.
  22. SalishSea
    Anyone in the world? Probably. why post something so vague?
  23. SalishSea
    I can’t speak to the laws of other countries, but the bottom line is that people visit the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas are not permitted to do any type of work (including online) without authorization.
  24. SalishSea
    Anyway, all of this was explained to you in depth in your previous thread about it: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/812878-please-help-travelling-while-adjustment-of-status/#comment-10918339
  25. SalishSea
    You entered on ESTA, then decided to marry and try to adjust status. They will rightly assume you’ll try to do the same thing, to avoid the queue. You could try for a B visa, but I don’t see that happening either, with your history.
