  1. The point is that if she lied about ANYTHING on that 2018 application (to ‘increase’ her chance of approval, like you’re considering doing now), it can and will be looked at when adjudicating other visa applications. What you’re contemplating doing is not smart. VJ is full of stories of people who did stupid things that later come back to bite them when they’re otherwise eligible for an immigrant visa.
  2. Hopefully you understand the visa bulletin and the wait time for that category? It will be 20+ years before a visa is even available to your brother.
  3. There is NO sponsorship for B visas. None. It is doubtful you will get a B visa in your situation.
  4. Huh? Why are you assuming people here do not have kids? Maybe ask before assuming?
  5. That makes no sense. The burden of proof for the bonafides is the same. I agree. OP, sounds like a GC marriage, honestly.
  6. I think @Boiler just said it has only moved a couple of months in the last three years or something.
  7. Same here, 100%. Another point I'd like to make: the COVID pandemic taught us that in times when resources are limited globally, USCIS/DOS prioritizes spouses of US citizens over fiances. It makes sense if you think about it, as spouse is a legal/familial relationship, and fiance is not.
  8. Have you looked at CR-1 and it’s MANY advantages over K-1? Visa Journey is a DIY site, so most of us have done it without a visa service.
  9. LOL, how many western countries even allow for sibling immigration though? Does the UK? BINGO.
  10. The online/text/video stuff is given very little credibility vs time spent together in person. DOS doesn't take a person's work schedule into consideration when evaluating the bonafides.
  11. Are you sure about that? You have to be in status to adjust status, unless immediate relative of USC.
  12. What do you mean "both of them had the same woman"??? You should marry and spend significant time together before filing a petition, and even consider moving to Algeria. It will be sent back to the USCIS because they suspect fraud, and you will get a NOIR/NOID. The way to overcome this is by spending more time together in person. Unfortunately, people from your boyfriend's country and community have perpetuated US immigration/marriage fraud, so the bar is set much higher than for low fraud countries. And there may be other red flags. Are you from different religions?
  13. He can submit a petition any time. Hopefully he is familiar with the visa bulletin, and realizes that F-4 visas take >15 years? By the time a visa number is available, the health problems could likely be worse, so you’ll want to have a plan to pay for health care for the brother, since he won’t be eligible for Medicare.
  14. How were you planning to sponsor the fiancé? You need to move to the US, establish domicile, get a job etc.
  15. They won’t expedite that form, since it was your error in the first place that made it necessary.
  16. The service center assignments are not related to state of residence. Ours was adjudicated at Nebraska!
  17. It is a generic USCIS message that everyone gets. It just means more waiting. Hang in there!
  18. In other words: anyone who is not a $400/hour immigration lawyer killing time on a free DIY visa website, need not respond. Got it 🤣
  19. You are in administrative processing. There is no timeline for that. Was the extra documentation requested the DS-5535? What country are you from?
  20. Your class of visa will not have a number available to you for >15 years, depending on what country you’re from. There is nothing you need to do until then.
  21. Have you checked the website for the consulate? They have been evacuating diplomatic staff, but it is a volatile situation. If it isn't safe for staff, there will be no interviews.
  22. Most of us here have endured even years apart from our partners. It’s kind of just par for the course when you choose someone from overseas.
