    No. The applicant must meet both the physical presence and the continuous residence requirements.. look at the instructions on the USCIS N400 page .. as well as having been resident in the state you live when you apply for at least 90 days before applying. Absences for vacations don’t break the 90 day state residency. Absences from the US can break Continuous Residency depending on length and frequency

    😓. But better that you were able to read it and rule it out than find out after filing the I130 that the DCF has been possible. Good luck

    You may need to accept that getting her to visit the US is not going to happen. Meet in 3rd country that is easier for your parents to get to … Long term.. If having access for you both back into the US is important to you.. and this relationship is one you see lasting into the future .. then marry. Live in Thailand while you apply for her spouse visa , move to the US, live there until she is eligible to become a US citizen, complete Naturalisation .. then you can leave, return, live where you what to . Yes I did say long term solution .. 2 years to get GC, and as long as you enter after your second yr anniversary, then plan on 4 yrs in the US to get through naturalization.

    Please. Posting the same question multiple times isnt going to get you an answer faster 😓

    No. You are not household members at the date of signing the I864. Separate forms .. primary sponsor -you , joint sponsor -your father .

    No. DCF is direct consular filing .. available only to USC petitioner living outside of the US who meets the criteria.. much less available now and v tight requirements .. up to each consulate if they will accept the petition. You are probably thinking of the Adjustment of Status available under certain conditions to those already in the US Does not apply to your circumstances

    I realise I am not answering your question but .. When you say US National .. do you mean US citizen? . US national is a different status Is your spouse working ? Will she have a US based job offer of job to go to immediately ? If this is a yes, then direct Consular filing may be possible.. and way faster Only possible if its done before submitting the I 130 .. other conditions apply but if you file the I 130 first, then the DCF possibility is gone

    Your own name. Not asking for clients. You “employed” yourself
  11. Lil bear
    You can begin the process while you are overseas. But when it gets to the NVC stage you will need to meet the US domicile and financial support requirements. Most petitioners return to the US at that stage to establish residency and get a job etc to ensure those requirements are met

    @dode93 If you have a letter from your current employer showing that they will continue to employ you under contract no matter where you live, that may be acceptable. May. Qualified joint sponsor is by far the safer and easier option
  13. Lil bear
    Yes. You must comply with what is indicated on the RFE. Keep a copy. Send it with tracking
  14. Lil bear
    You will need to file for Removal of Conditions. The window for filing opens 90 days prior to the expiry of your 2 yr conditional Green Card. Start by reading up on the process and then set about keeping and gathering the documentation needed over the next two years that support your filing

    Perhaps help us understand who is immigration. What visa class.. what family members. That would be helpful
  16. Lil bear
    It is given back to you at the same time as they give you the passport. It is kept only for the few hours that they are actually processing the passport application and printing the passport
  17. Lil bear
    Its not like a credit card. It doesnt require “activating”. When you enter using the immigrant visa you become an LPR. The green card is the document that demonstrates this status
  18. Lil bear
    He must answer all questions honestly. Simply. IF asked.. no need to offer information that is not asked Who are you visiting ? My fiancé. Are you planning to get married while you are here ? Yes.. and i will be returning to my home country after the visit. Remember that, even though his visa states a maximum stay , the CBP officer may authorize a shorter time period
  19. Lil bear
    My pleasure. It may have been 8 years ago now that we were trying to get out heads around all this process .. But I well remember the confused, mind numbing feelings and thoughts!!
  20. Lil bear
    Yes

    He will not be “Adjusting his status” Entering into the US using a visitor visa but with the intent to adjust status is unlawful You will be filing the I 130 after marrying him, in order to be approved as eligible to petition for an immigrant visa for your non USC spouse. Once the I 130 is approved, he will then complete the application for a Cr1 spouse visa, using the Consular process. This takes place while he is living in his home country. As he already has a visitor visa, he can continue to visit you while this is all being processed, but he cannot use a visitor visa to live here with you .. only visit. And entry each time is always at the discretion of the CBP at point of entry
  22. Lil bear
    He must leave before the period of stay, determined on entry by the CBP Officer, is up. He must not overstay or he will risk losing his visitor visa. You can apply for the I 130 as soon as you have all the documents in hand , even if he is still here in the US. But he needs to leave before his authorized stay expires

    Were you given a 221g notice at yhe interview ? If you were, it would be helpful if you posted a photo of it here .. but please cover up all personal info .. also complete your profile and timeline, so we have some background to your application. You interviewed in MTL .. Are you a Canadian citizen or resident. Are you a dual national? What category of visa are you applying for …
  24. Lil bear
    Then you are waiting while they finish checking the 15 yrs background/work/residential history.
  25. Lil bear
    Nope. Your application is in Administrative processing” .. which is normal after the interview .. But there is never any indication of how long this will take Did you have to submit any documents after the interview ? Did they keep your passport ? Do you have any challenging issues in your situation?
