    Whichever one is the US citizen should probably join VJ and start researching. It is not a fast, cheap or easy process, and 2nd or 3rd hand info can lead to delays and errors.
  2. SalishSea
    Is your mom a US citizen?
  3. SalishSea
    It’s legal in all states. The OP’s issue is that proxy marriages are not legal (until consummated). for immigration purposes.
  4. SalishSea
    No. You hired the wrong lawyer. If you click on the USCIS link I posted above, it takes you to the FAM law that confirms that proxy marriages are not valid for US immigration.

    https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM010208.html You may benefit from paid help (lawyer or service) if you have a hard time understanding US immigration policy.

    I thought NEXUS was only valid for travel across land borders?

    If you filed the petition without meeting in person, you need to meet and then refile. There is no way around that requirement. It’s unfortunate that you didn’t discover VJ until after you did that, we would have told you that you needed to meet first before filing. Time and money down the drain.
  8. SalishSea
    What do you mean? You can’t file a spousal petition until you’ve met in person after an online marriage.
  9. SalishSea
    Very unusual interview. They must have some doubts about something in your case.
  10. SalishSea
    What does this mean? YOU will be the one taking the civics test, at the field office. No lawyer can assist with that part.

    I'm starting to see some patterns as well: dollar signs! OP, sure hope you have not retained a lawyer with a JD purchased from Temu.

    If immigration lawyers are telling clients that naturalization interviews can be waived, overall competency is more dire than ever before.

    Really? I didn't think any consular decisions were made on the spot in 2023, especially with the ease of falsifying documents these days.
  14. SalishSea
    No...... Where are you getting this information?
  15. SalishSea
    Why are you asking us what your answers should be? Only you know your truth.

    Booking details are not evidence that travel occurred. People book trips and then don’t go. Dates on pics cannot usually be independently verified (i e, you can write whatever), and the letter of intent confirms intent to marry and has nothing to do with the meeting requirement. Boarding passes and passport stamps are good. For countries that no longer routinely do passport stamps, you can request one, or request an electronic record of admission.

    Were you deported for a CIMT?

    It is a damn shame though, if true that it was related to "heavy-handed moderators," because he was one of the most knowledgable and helpful members of VJ.
  19. SalishSea
    When was the interview?
  20. SalishSea
    You'll need a good lawyer with experience in adoption as it relates to immigration. It isn't as simple as bringing over your own birth child. Also, I don't think you are eligible since the child is not an orphan - adopting for financial reasons doesn't count. As when you asked several months ago, I believe your best option would be to move back home if you want to adopt this child.

    You posted in the Adjustment of Status page. You should ask a mod to move your post.
  22. SalishSea
    That person's experience is definitely the exception. Average processing times for I-765 and I-485 are available on uscis.gov.
  23. SalishSea
    Going forward, it is best practice to make a full copy of the entire contents you send.....
  24. SalishSea
    So sorry! *hugs*. Definitely request one, you never know. Best wishes and let us know how it goes.
  25. SalishSea
    If the I-797C was adequate evidence of receiving permission to be paroled in, why would they bother with the AP document itself?
