Chicago used to have a K visa/other immigrant visa line, but that was a long time ago. For K1 personal experience it took like 20 minutes. I would say it depends on the officer too. They do open the package, go through some stuff. but nothing major. It depends on arrival time too. Wow, that is a long wait time. When was your last time you entered through Chicago? Even on ESTA I never waited an hour, not even 30 minutes. l am so glad to have global entry. Worth all the money even if I use it once a year. As a GC holder you can get TSA Pre + Global entry for a $100 that is available for 5 years.

Looks like you are staying way too long in the US. Usually how often do you come? Beside staying for months? I think somebody said that you should spend double the time outside of the US than the time inside. This is true for your family, but you are not on the same papers and having family in the US usually makes it even harder since it is significantly harder to prove that you will leave. If you spend this much time in the US can your parents sponsor you for a green card? If you keep this up sooner or later they will revoke your visa... It is understandable that you had a dramatic experience, due to culture shock. During immigration you can't really hide behind your parents unless you are minor (which i doubt). You are your own person and while you are culturally unaccustomed to deal with male on your own (and especially the ones that are there to interrogate you) I would recommend trying to get used to the idea since immigration won't care about your customs.

Look at this as you dodged a bullet. (Still sucks, hopefully the test comes back clear so no further delays) If you would have her K1 visa by Dec 18th, se would need to use it and wouldn't be able to leave the US since she would need to go through adjustment of status. Otherwise you have wasted all this time on a K1 visa that will be used as a tourist visa after all if she leaves. K1 is single entry and you can't choose between which modality to use VWP or K1 visa when the K1 is already in your passport.

You can't choose between VWP and K1 at the port of entry so if K1 is in your passport that will be used. I wonder if WVP is canceled the moment your K1 was issued. While your intentions are good and you are doing this correctly by doing K1/CR-1 visa, bringing a bunch of suitcases with you while on VWP could cause you some issues at the port of entry and get you turned around since you are already expressing immigrant intent by just applying fort K1. For VWP always pack appropriately for the duration/weather season of your trip's destination. (e.g you don't need to bring your ski boots if you are going to florida in the summer)

You can adopt your sibling. Not sure if your father still in the picture. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/Intercountry-Adoption/Adoption-Process/how-to-adopt/adopting-a-relative-for-immigration.html Based on this it is very complicated and you need to adopt them first and live with them for 2 years after the adoption BEFORE you are eligible to file the I-130 and probably during the I-130 process...

I see. So you are trying to retaliate now after 4 years when she probably go the green card in 2020 based on your timeline and presumably got pregnant or delivered a baby that was not yours.... Also you called her your wife 22hours ago.... you might be just trolling here. also you said in your first post you are not divorced...you need to get your story straight. anyway to not to be totally off topic. your ex moved on, probably it is time for you too to move on. As others said cheating is not necessarily fraud, more a marital problem. how long have you been with her before she got pregnant? If you claim fraud it is on both of you, since you provided immigration a ton of proof that the marriage is legit so you can be in hot water too. Regardless this post just sounds sour and looks like you just want to get back at her after who knows how many years.

What happened to her N400 application you posted about in 2023?

I would have everything read and file from the "final" new address and once you moved in send it out asap. It will reduce the risk of getting mail at wrong places. Beside that you can file anywhere, there is no residency requirement like with N400. As @OldUser said you should file AR-11 and your partner I-865 for both addresses. (temp and final) to indicate that you moved.

You need to chill. The lady at the counter does not have your file in front of her. She just says the most common thing that applies to 80% of the applicants. Since you mentioned your situation is not the normal just please wait and see what the consulate says. They are the one with the power. Also in some cases you don't make any sense. Your friend's situation doesn't apply to you. Also why does she needs a wavier if she never applied to anything and visiting US first time? Anyway, just please relax and check the CEAC status, that is the through.

Nobody every asked us pictures of a huge wedding. We had a wedding in a park officiated by a licensed individual. We had a couple of friends for witness (I think total of 5 friends, two of them signed the marriage cert) so we can start the process. We sent in pics of that and that is all. We didn't even include pics from the launch we had right after.

If you were legally separated divorcing later won't cause any red flags. Probably even if you didn't wouldn't be an issue. Divorce takes time and you dating others while married I don't think will cause moral issues to USCIS. Know people who stayed married but legally separated because of money then divorced years later when the guy met his new now wife in Asia.

Go to the assigned place as soon as possible and try to sort it out there. This is a very good lesson on while dealing with USCIS taking month long vacations are not always advised since vacation doesn't count as a valid "excuse" of missing or rescheduling appointments. In general when dealing with USCIS think of it as they are not there to accommodate you at all. (there are exceptions for the rule, like ADA and acceptable reasons on why you need to reschedule an appointment). Also create an account on their website and add your case plus sign up for informed delivery with usps to be sure you don't miss letters (it can happen that usps messes it up which can delay things and out of your control)

Based on previous threads she is just adjusting status. So only path to visit is ESTA/Tourist visa. How far along is your wife is? You MIL can't stay forever on a tourist visa. Also depending on the consular officer they might deem your MIL inadmissible because they could assume she would be providing free labor helping out with the child once born if she is close to term which you and your wife could pay a US citizen to help (nanny, cleaning company etc) Unfortunately it also depends on which country she is from. Citizens of more "developed/richer" countries have easier time to jump through these hurdles.

Also make sure you pack accordingly for 2 weeks. If you show up each with 3 big suitcases that also could be a red flag beside not having a job. Does she have a proven track record on ESTA that she left on time, etc or first time using it?

Why would you? Unless you and your husband wants to move to Europe/Romania I don't see any benefit of going through all the hoops and going to a consulate out of your way (unless is there one in your city) to just register the marriage. I am not at the stage of having kids so unsure if that is something needed to get them dual citizenship

Yes. I believe at check in if they ask for the visa she could show her other passport. Buying a ticket never asked for passport info, only at the check in. I have the same name on my both passports so it is not an issue buying tickets i really don't believe in last name change stuff, just makes life harder. Since she is now a US citizen she must leave and enter on a US passport so when buying the ticket use her new name.

Have you tried calling the number back? (could be scam, so make sure it is indeed somebody related to your case)

I used Quizlet and created flashcards basically. I made sure to read the questions out loud before answering them. Was trying to mimic the interview Also make sure to look up your representative, senators etc and fill in the state specific questions. At the interview while the interviewer was reading the question my mind was already answering it While this works for the interview my SO hated my method since I didn't learn much of the actual history and what is behind those question/answers.

It sounds easier than done.... It is a government agency they are not there for your convenience....

You can try to risk it for sure. We had to cut short a vacation so I can do the interview. Vacation DOES NOT COUNT towards a reason for a reschedule as far as I know. When you get the interview letter (or online) you will have to call the number provided in the letter (basically a call center) and submit a request for reschedule which may or may not be accepted. Btw I don't remember if the website counts in the fact that the interview is like 30 days form the notice of the interview. Regardless it is your decision based on your priorities.

I mean it is not by somebody. They have to be certified to fill out the DS-3025. It is not like I went to a random doctor in Romania and they gave me the form. So yeah they should trust and not do the full medical.

At some medical they don't even tell you that you are "missing" shots. I had the same experience when I picked up my medical and saw on the copy that it was marked that UPPERCASE I elected not to. I told them and was told for K1 this is all I need. At the end it cost me like $320 to get the missing/outdated vaccine and get the new form prepared by a doctor in the US. Also shop around regarding the civil surgeon because some are cheaper. I drove 45 minutes out to the middle of nowhere and saved like $200 and still got a very nice and modern office and a knowledgeable doctor. I've sent the form in email to the civil surgeon i talked with, they told me what I need, scheduled it, went and go the shot, the new form was almost done, after the shot waited like 20 minutes and they gave the sealed envelope that I added to the AOS pack when I sent it in. If you already did the AOS they might RFE you for it, or will ask for it at the AOS interview. Also make sure the civil surgeon doesn't try to sell you a full medical for $$$$ that you don't need. (e.g when i was calling around to figure this out 2 of them told me that i need the full medical done by them without even looking/asking for any documentation i've had and i told them thanks no :), at the end found the right one)

It is not first come first served situation. There are multiple factors so I would suggest just forget about it and at some point it will be your turn. E.g background checks don't take the same time for everybody, your local office where you will have the interview might be swamped, some offices have same day oath ceremony, at other places you will have to wait 2+ month for a court administered oath and so on. So yeah you will see people filing after you and getting citizenship in 3 months or less because their situation is different from yours.

I think both of you need to grow up. There are clearly deep issues here on both sides. How do you talk to him if he needed to say talk respectfully? Or does he expect you to be subservient and not speak up? Anyway we don't know you or him, but what you write probably the two of you are not a good match and most likely both of you are trying to use emotional manipulation to get somewhere, or get back to the other. I think it would be better to get divorced and move on with your life separately. "CTO" level means those jobs are not a dime a dozen if he is really that level, so after getting EAD probably it will be at least another 6 months at least to get a CTO level job if he can pass the interviews or find the opportunities so I don't see this ending anytime soon.

That should have been a red flag and you should have ran away and not go through this whole process. This will not be good for your mental health for sure. Are you also russian? You said you came on a K2
