    I would hang tight for now. First, it's possible it was already delivered but tracking wasn't updated (this happened to me recently with passport renewal - I received my new passport BACK and the tracking still didn't show that my application was even delivered). If that's the case, you'll likely get a receipt notice soon and you'll know everything is fine. It's also possible that has gotten tied up with USPS but will show as delivered any day now. I would give it at least a few more business days before worrying.

  4. beloved_dingo
    The answer is this varies by office/location. I was not allowed to enter the building for my husband's N-400 interview in 2023. Security told me they would let me know if I was needed (I wasn't). I (and everyone else there with a spouse/loved one) watched the citizenship ceremony through the windows.

    I think part of the problem here is an I-797 doesn't have an expiration date like other documents do (I-94, EAD, green card). So if they renew your driver's license based on the I-797, when is the DL supposed to expire? They have no way of knowing if or when your pending I-485 would be approved. Of course, they should have had proper protocols in place for this circumstance instead of making you jump through hoops for months...

    International travel is expensive so questions about finances are valid, especially since you are funding both your portion and your girlfriend's portion of the trip. I agree with @appleblossom that you should be able to show proof of savings/financial ability at the interview (with the caveat that it is possible, and even likely, that the IO will not look at any evidence or proof you bring).

    Do you have a tourist visa already? It seems like if you were actually planning on just visiting the U.S. and then returning to the U.K., you would take a much shorter trip to ensure you're able to keep your U.K. based job, and the U.K. visa.

    Just to make sure I'm not missing something here - no one in your family is a U.S. citizen (or green card holder) except your youngest child?

    As others have said, using a tourist visa with intent to immigrate and adjust status is fraud. At this point I would go ahead and file an I-130 for your spouse ASAP. Then, if your spouse already has a valid B2, he can visit you in the U.S. after your return to the U.S. in December 2024. Admittance would still be subject to CBP's discretion. He would have to return to Japan before his authorized time in the U.S. ends (could be up to 6 months I believe but CBP may give him less time than that). Either you wait in Japan for a year+ for the I-130 process, or you go to the U.S. knowing that your spouse can only visit you until he gets his immigrant visa.

    Georgia being one of the best at 46 is patently false 😂

    Proxy marriage is a valid route as long as you meet again in person after marriage, prior to filing. (Meeting in person after marriage = consummating the marriage)

    I don't see an issue with the photo in question. Taking engagement photos is a common thing to do. There are certain consulates where formal looking photos can be an issue, but that is because of cultural norms and expectations that play into it. I don't think that's the case here.

    Just want to point out that spouses becoming abusive immediately after marriage is incredibly common. Some would describe it like a switch has been flipped. These kinds of abusers will love-bomb and treat their partners like gold before marriage but as soon as they are married/living together, a 180 happens. Much easier to control someone once you're under the same roof and tied to each other legally. You can see how this would be even easier to pull off for someone courting an immigrant. The fraud angle is certainly possible and I'm not denying that whatsoever, but immigrants can be vulnerable and they can and do become victims of abuse due to this (hence why VAWA even exists). It's not hard to have evidence of abuse when the abuse was real and documented through medical treatment. I would hope any immigrant who is being abused by their spouse would get help and go to the police.

    It's not fraud to intend to get married on a B2. It's fraud to use a B2 with the intent to marry and adjust status. Edit: It is fraudulent to lie about the reason for obtaining a B2, though.
  33. beloved_dingo
    They are already married.

    Sorry, I'm confused about this statement here. She didn't attend the interviews herself???
  35. beloved_dingo
    Out of curiosity, why can't she live with you at your uncle's house? I agree with @OldUser though. If you document this situation, and it is remedied in the near future, I don't see it being an issue 2 years down the line. I would suggest saving any emails or other written correspondence you have that document your efforts with your job to get permission to move to SC.
