K1 Visa vs CR1 Visa for Pakistan? No Photos
milimelo replied to fiddyfour's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Option 3. -
Dual, not duel - may want to fix the poll.

I hope your husband has a good health insurance and will be able to cover you upon arrival. But even in regular cases, dental insurance is separate from health insurance and will cost $$$. These days when they're looking more closely at all types of applicants (health, potential for earning and not relying on government assistance) - careful how you present yourself at interview.

K1 or CR1 visa question.
milimelo replied to Rasko's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
What job does she have now and can she find something similar in the US in the near future? Then you'd just need a letter from employer to qualify for DCF at the US Embassy Sarajevo. You can even do online zoom marriage if you want the US marriage certificate, otherwise get married in Bosnia - blue form aka international marriage certificate is what you need. If you can swing getting married before end of this year, you can figure out taxes as married - a CPA can advise. And hopefully she's been doing taxes in the US - all US citizens need to do it. I would never in my life do a K-1 visa, spousal only as more protection and can work from day one after entry. -
Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025
milimelo replied to Benny4352's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
So is this based off of congressmen/senators having dual citizenship in which case, make it so whoever wants to run for public service needs to relinquish any other citizenship(s) X years before being eligible to run for an office. Or is this based off of Americans leaving US and living overseas (retirees, expats, students, and similar) - still paying taxes even when not in the country, or is there a third reason? Germany used to have something like this but even they made exceptions to loss of citizenship when their folks would naturalize for example in the US. -
Your best bet will of course be getting married ASAP and your spouse adding you to their insurance policy - marriage is a qualifying life event. I'm not sure what other insurance you'd qualify for as you're not really a tourist given that on K-1 you're expected to AOS and become an LPR. I know our company when sending folks to the US for training gets them seven corners health insurance policy - may want to check if they cover K-1?

ANOTHER Afghan 'Refugee' Goes Jihad on Us
milimelo replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an extra long admin processing for all types of visas for this country now. -
Documents required
milimelo replied to nickymicky's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Are you not familiar with uscis.gov? If not, time to get very familiar because it has fee calculator and the list of filing fees - https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees -
They're no longer doing interview waivers. Expect your father to have to go in for an interview.

K1 Visa - Petitioner Filing with Criminal History
milimelo replied to 2welve's topic in IMBRA Special Topics
From what you listed DV, assault and similar - stay away - not worth it your life to end up dead for a visa. Find someone else. I'm sure not just consulate but also the CFO process will flag your petitioner. -
K1 Visa - Petitioner Filing with Criminal History

30 cases in 24 years? Did he do time? I wouldn't be considering K-1 under these circumstances. -
Questions about filling out I-130
milimelo replied to noumeno00's topic in Direct Consular Filing (DCF) General Discussion
When we did DCF close to 20 years ago, both of us went to the embassy - petitioner and beneficiary. -
Not PI related, but affects everyone overseas who has a bank account - FATCA reporting on yearly basis - I believe accounts with more than $50k in them. In a lot of cases, they won't easily open a local bank account for a USC given all the reporting requirements. There's also FBAR reporting. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/corporations/summary-of-fatca-reporting-for-us-taxpayers

CRBA - Proving Physical Requirement
milimelo replied to dualcanus's topic in Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBA)
You won't qualify for DCF as you have already filed I-130. Best option would be to ask USCIS for expedite - in the meantime, hold spouse and child's cases at NVC until daughter's case makes it there. -
All-in time for F4 visa?
milimelo replied to RamonGomez's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
She was a young teenager then so CSPA wasn't a consideration. But yes, normally you do want it to take as long as possible if there are derivatives involved.
