You should discuss with your divorce lawyer

CEAC has been bad since at least 2018. Not surprised it does not work on a Saturday.

No. I wrote: Follow this:

1. When did you file I-751? 2. When did your spouse move out of your residence? 3. When was your divorce filed? 4. Did your spouse file I-865 after moving?

Your post history shows a problem. I am moving my attention to your older thread. See you there.

Get married now. Do not over stay your authorized stay. If the home return rule does not apply, file an I-485 package before your authorized stay expires. Filing I-485 will extend your authorized presence until your I-485 is decided.

GC, 5 years of tax return transcripts.

Does your county or state have a cooling off period after getting a divorce decree?

If you are the petitioner and this is a family based immigration visa, get another job and inform NVC when you do.

K-1 is technically a non immigrant visa, yet consulates treat it as as an immigrant visa. AFAIK the courts have not reigned this in.

This depends on what country issued the divorce decree and what countries the spouses were residing in at the time of the divorce.

Interesting question. If I-130 gets approved by USCIS after the K-3 enters the U.S., logically it would be sent to NVC for consular processing. Possibly the CR-1, likely IR-1 by that time, would be approved before any I-485. As an aside, this brings up an interesting idea. Every couple of months we see at least one post from someone who filed I-130 without naming a consulate. Would filing I-129F be a faster and cheaper way than I-824 to get to consular processing? No. I do not puree my food. So I would be unafraid of real or imagined consequences from filing I-129F.

Other than K-3 being approved, none. For the reasons I have listed, a K-3 is not a bad outcome.

“But more important than what Ukraine did or didn’t get, we’re beginning to see a fault line develop between the US and Germany, on the one hand, and the rest of NATO on the other. See more of my analysis here: NATO Summit Highlights NATO Unity on Ukraine but Also Reveals Divisions.“ Putin should take the win. In the long run, Europe can fall to Russia if Russia is patient.

The most interesting thing on TV I am watching these days is Hijack on Apple TV. It is a British drama, and afaict no American actors. Swagger and Foundation season 2 is fully filmed, as is The Boys season 2. Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 ended well, and no need to see Part 2 if not made. Dune Part 2 is fully filmed. Streaming has proven that content from UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ will succeed with U.S. audiences. So I am good.

Yes

As of today, VJ members report 594 days to get to a K-1 interview vs 526 days to get to a CR-1 / IR-1 interview. So switching to CR-1 will cost on average 120 - (594 - 526) 52 more days.

Some have claimed it worked for them: Another thread to read is: This thread is interesting because it is clear I-129F caused a doomed I-130 to be denied faster: Personally, if there was a problem with a petition I filed, I would want to know sooner than later. IMHO yes. There are 4 outcomes, from most likely to least likely: 1. I-130 is not accelerated, and I-129F is denied. 2. I-130 is accelerated and I-128F is denied 3. I-130 is not accelerated and I-129F is approved 4. 3. I-130 is accelerated and I-129F is approved Outcomes 2 and 3 can lead to a K-3 visa (if I-129F is approved before I-130 and uscis sends I-129F to NVC) and neither an IR-1 nor CR-1 visa. There is a 1 in 10,000 chance of this. You are 4 times more likely to die from choking on food than getting a K-3 visa. https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/preventable-death-overview/odds-of-dying/ So what if you get a K-3? * you have to file I-485 to get a green card * it is 2 year multi entry visa * you have a 2 year stay which can be extended if I-485 is filed * the endorsed visa grants you travel authorization until the K-3 visa expires * you can apply for an EAD without applying for I-485. * the income requirements are just 100 percent of poverty limit. This combined with the previous point can be a boon to couples where the petitioner has marginal income. The beneficiary can enter on the K-3, get the EAD, help to double the household income, and produce a compelling I-864.

The application stays valid until documentarily qualified (DQ). At that point his father needs to actively pursue a visa or the petition will be canceled. So the son or father can put this all on pause while the son establishes himself in the U.S. Given the failure to follow the previous advice, this should be paused until the son is working and living in the U.S. The length of the pause depends on whether a joint sponsor is used. If no joint sponsor, pause until 2026 when the son has 3 U.S. consecutive tax return transcripts each showing sufficient income. If a joint sponsor is used, pause until the son has a U.S. lease, U.S. job, U.S. state ID or drivers license, U.S. mobile phone number with a U.S. mobile phone provider, and U.S. bank account. At the start of the pause, notify NVC, that because the petitioner is not yet qualified to be a sponsor, the beneficiary is delaying pursuit of a visa interview. Do this every 6 months while the pause is in effect.

Either that or order a copy of the entire tax return from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf says up 7 years back, and the form lets you list 8 distinct years.

@Family

Not quite what I suggested, but carry on as you wish. Best wishes.

1. Yes 2. I would not list any.

I-751 was filed 2017. I did not understand why someone with a 4 year extension letter needs an ADIT
