    Like I said, it's not an exact science. Some petitions have issues and take much longer to adjudicate. Some get RFEs, have background check issues, criminal/arrest history, name hits in databases, eligibility issues, etc. It's not a straightforward, linear process. And some adjudicators are faster than others. "Accurate" is relative as well. Yes, VJ processing projections come from user timelines, but again, is that official data? No, it isn't. It's reported data. Big difference. If others are getting approved at 13 months, that's great. But until USCIS revises their processing time for that form, I'd plan on it taking closer to 16 months.

    Maybe if the countries travelled to were Canada or EU countries.....Thailand and Singapore are not compelling evidence, IMHO.

    You may have a hard time getting the visa from such a high-fraud consulate and with no visits in >2 years. Financial/time/travel issues are not of concern to the consulate. Sometimes you have to prioritize. If the K-1 is denied, I strongly recommend marrying and spending significantly more time together before petitioning for a CR-1.

    An attorney is not needed for the purpose of scheduling any of those. The via applicant can schedule them.

    But why apply again? Visitor visa was rejected due to insufficient ties to India/probably immigrant intent. Unless something significant in their lives has changed in the last 5 minutes, the result will be the same.

    USCIS.gov processing times for I-129F is currently 16.5 months. Applications are processed roughly by receipt date. The difference between 7/29 and 7/31 is not significant. Some people send a metric ton of unrequired papers (chat logs, etc), and that can extend processing time as the adjudicator has to weed through it all.

    Visa Journey is not affiliated with USCIS in any way. The data here is self-reported, so best to rely on official USCIS data.

    The sponsorship requirements have not changed since 2019. Perhaps you were permitted to do DCF if your petitioner had a pending job offer in the US? Many US citizens living abroad who seek to petition spouses for immigrant visas need to move back ahead of the spouse to establish domicile and start working.

    You cannot adjust status from Australia. You have no choice but to submit the I-824 to correct the error you made on the petition.
  10. SalishSea
    No one but you is confused about this. The issue at hand is not a K-1 or adjustment of status. The OP is seeking an immigrant visa from outside the US and checked an incorrect box on the petition, and now must submit a separate form to correct that, which will take a year.

    Is she a much older woman? Sounds like you’ve got some bright red flags and they suspect marriage fraud. Are you divorced from someone local?
  12. SalishSea
    Not eligible for fee waiver for CR/IR forms.
  13. SalishSea
    The US citizen can petition you for an immigrant visa, if that’s what you mean. I suggest she starts by joining Visa Journey, so that you both can start learning about the process. It is not fast, or cheap. It will take several years, and you will have to provide a lot of evidence in terms of ‘in-person’ meetings, because Tunisia is a high fraud/high risk country. Good luck. There are guides at the top of the page to help, as well as a MENA page/Tunisia portal for more specific advice.

    If you want to leave the US within that timeline, AOS is not the solution. You could be waiting 8-12 months for AP.
  15. SalishSea
    You will need to have US based income or assets that qualify.
  16. SalishSea
    That is not going to be st all helpful. I encourage you to read the guides and info on USCIS.gov. It is a long and expensive process. Getting your partner here will take at least two years. Becoming educated on how US immigration works could save you time and money.
  17. SalishSea
    Incorrect. You seem to be confusing K-1 with CR/IR-1.
  18. SalishSea
    You’re clearly just here to argue. I know it can be disappointing to be denied a visa, but you’ve been given some sage advice in this thread. Hopefully it works out for you two to meet someday.

    The I-134 form is not “filed” ahead of time. The beneficiary takes it to the interview.
  20. SalishSea
    A “stranger” is someone you’ve never met in person. Gaming/texting/video chatting is not “meeting.” Exactly the reason an in-person meeting is required for K-1 couples…..
  21. SalishSea
    It was because she likely has no intention of returning to her country, and due to the very sketchy circumstances with the Facebook friend.
  22. SalishSea
    This is not normal. People do not give bank statements to internet strangers unless something sketchy is underfoot. Again, you were rightly denied.
  23. SalishSea
    The "roommate" being the as yet unmet Facebook friend who is offering to pay for the trip?
  24. SalishSea
    If you're at the interview part of the process and only just now asking about this, I strongly suggest you (the US citizen) do some serious research on the requirements for the K-1 and AOS.
  25. SalishSea
    You will need to have a job if you hope to get a B visa.
