Applying for B2 visa while I-130 approval pending

You might want to include your copy of official IRS tax transcript to show you have means to pay for plane fare and related travel expenses if you are the person paying or whoever is paying. I didn't know if it mattered if I included in the supporting documents but at the interview they took it for review I believe. It didn't take much of my time so I just wrote a simple invitation letter explaining about the trip purpose, duration, location, accomodations and who is paying. Perhaps it helped in convincing them to approve without contacting the sponsor.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I need to read the fine print on these insurance policies. One starts coverage after 7 days from the start date of the policy and has many exclusions.😦 As per the b-2 interview questions. my in-law says it was "easy peasy". I recall these 5 questions or similar: Do you have any children and family in Vietnam? How many in U.S.? How many days are you visiting? Who is paying for the trip? Have you ever traveled to U.S before? Did you apply for Visa before? I think they want to know if they can trust you to return to your home contry and have a place to stay and taken care of in the U.S. good luck it shouldn;t be too hard!

Hi everyone, I live in US and a Vietnamese in-law living in Vietnam was approved a B-2 visitor visa . I want to get traveler's insurance to cover the Vietnamese in-law while visiting U.S. Does anyone have experience with getting one and if so share their experiences?

Anticipate more delays with US consulates and embassies staff being fired all over the world. -
It all boils down to what was or appears to be the intent when arriving US with the type of non immigration visa. I suppose if the non k-1 fiance came to "live" with you on each occasion then that may seem in the eyes of the Customs and Immigration that the person is not here for vacation or a visit as a tourist. Instead of her visiting many occasions, aoply for K-1 ASAP. It allows 90 days to figure out if marriage meant for you two while in US legally. The K-1 is for that purpose. If she keeps visiting maybe next time stay at a hotel and keep receipts.

As soon as your K-1 fiance arrived in US you should have gone straight to the SS office and applied for SSN. It should be in the visa journey step by step guide.

Well now with anti-immigration Trump polices it may take longer. For example, some interviews were waived but now interviews are required.

Besides the cost and paperwork, One aspect of K-1 is that it gives you chance to get to know more of your finance before getting married and allow them to see if US is the place they want to be WITH you. If you got married already in their country then most likely you have to visit them back and forth until their CR1 is approved. Will this arrangement allow you to get to know each other better for lifetime relationship? Yes K-1 is more of a longer route and costs more but you get to be together quicker. CR1 you'll be not together for maybe a year or more. It a longer process to be together and one less interview and some paperwork but which usually you can reuse the same supporting documents you used for earlier application so more of copy and paste and photo copying. I think CR1 is more for people already decided to settle down together and have a existing long term relationship but ultimately you have to use your best judgement and not be influenced by anyone including your fiance. Love can be blind and influences your judgement so becareful.

Well, simply think of it this way. You got here on a temporary visa to get married. What do you need to show to the immigration officer who've seen it all that your marriage is real? What makes your marriage real vs a fake one? Simply put prove to them without a doubt that your marriage is bons fida. Start from there and you be ok. Include much as you can some examples are photos of you spending time together with family and friends and not just selfies, affidavit from as much people you know about your relationship, joint health/car insurance, bank joint accounts, joint lease/mortgage agreements, setup authorized user credit card account for someone new to the country with no credit history , joint car purchases, gift receipt to your spouse, joint tax filing documents, CERTIFIED copy of marriage certificate , etc.
