  1. If it does not have a signature, that is expected. Also the stamp I posted is not signed either. I have never heard of INS or CBP signing a stamp. I cannot imagine the union standing for it either.
  2. I do not know for sure what would happen. My old philosophy was to wait for an RFE. Based on new information from 2022, my new philosophy is when you find an error, you fix it before the decision on the petition has been made. As a general rule this makes things go faster. And I have seen it in action.
  3. Wait 2 weeks, then contact the embassy for next steps. Give the embassy one week. Then file DS-160. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/808190-fiance-visa-i-just-got-the-k1-ftp-email-from-the-nvc-what-now/#comment-10899481
  4. It will likely email your foreign fiancé. In our case I kept my foreign fiancee’s email out of the process for as long as possible to inject as much determinism and consistency as possible (whiled keeping her CC’ed on emails). Fortunately, they did not force a switch to her email until after the interview was scheduled. Some and perhaps most embassies provide no insight into what is actually going on. Like a black hole. So the couple needs to be proactive with letting the embassy know that that keen interest in a visa continues. Remember that unlike approved I-130s, approved I-129Fs expire. As long as the foreign fiancé actively seeks a visa before I-129F expires, and does so after it expires through no fault of the petitioner or beneficiary, the embassy should extend the petition.
  5. Did the message say when to expect the embassy to contact you?
  6. Wait the two weeks. If embassy says nothing, email embassy. If after a week you get nothing, do DS-160, and then let embassy know. If embassy continues to ignore, do the police certificates. Medical process is embassy specific. Being proactive without embassy guidance might be a bad idea.
  7. Possibly, especially if it is a U.S. birth certificate. No Luckily you were were admitted and not banned, so you are fine. That “yes you can visit” pinned thread ought to be renamed to: “you can visit and that is playing with fire” On the plus side, you did live in the US with your spouse for 6 months, which shows bonafide marriage.
  8. These are two different visas for two two different people. And each person is responsible for filing their own visa. So they each need their own accounts.
  9. It is appalling the consulate is demanding that, but regardless based on your timeline there is plenty of time there is plenty of time to have it sent to you.
  10. It is faster because the middleman is eliminated, and in some ceremonies you you can keep your naturalization certificate. Bring passport photos just in case.
  11. Write to the USCIS address on the I-130 receipt and report the address change.
  12. Is he your dependent? Does he agree to use his income to support your beneficiary?
  13. 100 percent. The USCIS ISOs get forced by their bosses to delete their accounts. The DoS COs post regularly.
  14. The sense of entitlement in that OP is high. Also dissed the lead mod there (who is right 99.9 percent of the time). I am predicting expedited removal and a 5 year ban.
  15. CR-1. Get married in U.S. To avoid I-741, do not enter U.S. on the immigration visa until after 2 years of marriage. Marry online now to start the 2 year clock. Then meet in person and file I-130.
  16. That used to be the prevailing view on VJ. Then people started to test that, and found that the government rarely challenges a WoM. The WoM here is for I-824, not I-130. Presumably I-130 is already approved. So on what legal basis would an approved I-130 be denied? “You hurt out feelings, so we are canceling I-130” ?
  17. I hope I am wrong too. These workers are valuable contributors to the U.S. econony. Math has a cold logic. We will be seeing nurses with advanced degrees seeking EB-2. And my understanding is nurses are not subject to PERM. Even if PAs and NPs are subject to PERM today, that will not last. The only thing that surprises me in the October 2023 visa bulletin is USCIS switching to the date of filing chart for EB I-485s. And yet this switch reinforces my assessment of the new reality.
  18. Nah. They only have to hit the go for new cases. They did the same thing for I-130, N-400, etc. Last in, first out
