Married for 4 months ,

No financially support from Spouse.

Does not live together. I have no idea where he lives.

Tried going to the place where he stated he lives, he told currently he is not there and did not allow me to come

comes to meet me once a while and we live in a motel (I keep quiet as I am in a remarriage, have a child from my previous marriage with me.)

AOS pending, spouse not cooperating.

I entered in good faith, now I am having sleepless nights.

please help. I am tired, worried.

This doesn’t sound like a bonafide marriage. What is your definition of a bonafide marriage? 
 

For your and your child’s sake, leave the US so you’re not in this vulnerable situation anymore and divorce your husband. Take control. 

What is the reason that your spouse is not cooperating? Is this (still) a bonafide marriage?

I'm not sure how much she knows about the immigration process. She was saying that she would like to go to her home country and if we marry for me to go with her there. During our first conversation, however, she plainly said that she isn't looking for papers but for a companion who will be her life partner. I'm not sure because we are still in a vetting process. I'm not going to be blinded by love like a lot of people are. I'm definitely not desperate because I do have plenty of options. I just like this lady a whole lot but I still need to continue getting to know her and, yes, my radar is on full force. 

Of course she’s going to tell you all the right things like not being in it for the papers or moving back to her home country. She’s in the US now and for a reason, she’s not going to go back to Honduras, she hopes that by saying all those things you will bite. The chances of her finding the 55 year old love of her life in Honduras are non-existent.

How long did it took you to get work permit? Yes, that’s the main thing for us. Work 

I didn’t do the adjustment of status for this exact reason. I got married during one of my visits (also on Esta), left after my visit and we started the CR1 spousal visa process. I was able to continue to visit while that was processing, I had short 2-week visits every 3-4 months and never had issues. Once I completed the entire visa process from my home country I moved to the US and started my job 2 weeks later. No gap in my resume, no stress about work.

Yes, he does have a job and a house. How does it help us in our car? Thank you 

 

If he has a settled life in the UK, it might get very tough for him during the adjustment of status process. He will be stuck without being able to work, leave the US and drive in some states. The adjustment of status process always sounds like a great idea until it doesn’t. I would really rethink this plan and think with your heads instead of your hearts, make a sensible decision. 

Could she need it to start the divorce proceedings? How long did you actually live together after you arrived in the US? 

You need to apply for a spousal visa.

So what's stopping you from trying to visit the US now? If you both want to pursue the K1, you will need to meet. There's no avoiding it. Travel doesn't seem realistic for him now at this point so the ball is in your court. 

OP probably doesn’t have a tourist visa and will have a tough time getting one.

You use the I-129f form and check the box at question 4.b. 
 

But as noted by other members, it is not likely that it will get issued but it might nudge the I-130

Look at the bottom of the physical receipt notice, it is mentioned there. 

You don’t HAVE to add DL, it is just a form of evidence that you could use to prove living at the same address. Since you haven’t lived at the same address for the last year, make sure to explain carefully why. 
 

What is the plan for the long term though? Is that job permanent or temporary?

what is that mean about work restrictions? about travel is about she can not go travel to another country? 

Not until she has authorization, so either a greencard or approved work and travel authorization. This is why doing an adjustment of status always sounds great until it doesn’t. 

She’s only visiting so she would be back in SA before her tourist visa expires, right?

She's wrong in this situation as the marriage happened in the 90 day period. Definitely no need for I-130.

Gotcha! It surprised me because it came from a pretty established member here.

It was the proper form to file and lawyer should have fully explained this

 

Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is the first step to apply for adjustment of status for a K-1 visa holder and apply for a Green Card. Adjustment of status is a process that allows people in the United States to apply for permanent resident status without returning to their home country for visa processing

Where did you get this info from? Did anything change because as far as I know the I-130 doesn’t apply if the beneficiary entered on a K1 and the couple married within 90 days. 

You will be fine

They think she would just end up staying in the US.

Hi everyone,

 

I know this has been asked a lot BUT no one has posted recently so I was hoping some recent filers who got their extension letter could help out?

 

When you sent in the packet:

 

1. Did you use sticky tabs for the bottom of the page to indicate "exhibit A" per the cover letter with table of contents? (The directions on USCIS used to say you could for lockbox submissions, but now they seem to be gone)

2. Did you use a big clip to hold the packet together?

3. Did you ship it in an envelope or box?  Our packet is HUGE, so I feel like we will need to ship a USPS document mailing box. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Even though it is of course great that you have a lot of evidence, but if your packet is HUGE are you not sending repetitive evidence? 
 

I just stacked my papers and put them in an envelope. 

What kind of work visa is she on? 

She can try to get a tourist visa, but her chances of getting one approved are very slim. 
 

If her tourist visa gets denied based on suspected immigrant intent it won’t impact her current case.
