    If she is not in the US, the options are K1 (fiancée) or CR1 (spousal) visa. Her using her tourist visa to enter with the intent to adjust statys is a no-no.

    Yes, I was one of them but I can’t blame her for not listening if (according to her) 3 immigration lawyers told her that this is the way to go. I deleted my comment in which I asked what she thinks CBP will do when her husband presents himself at CBP and tells them “My I-130 got approved so now I am going to file for the I-485 after you let me in”

    I think it is just the weirdest thing and find it so strange that lawyers would say that this is perfectly fine. Just crazy.. Moderators: feel free to lock this topic if needed, I really wouldn’t want to give anybody crazy ideas but just had to share with the family here 😄

    Yes, me too! This is a crazy situation

    So the bigger letters is what OP wrote, and the middle part (smaller font size) was the screen shot of what the lawyer emailed. According to her, they were an Immigration lawyer

    That’s what I did, but if 3 immigration lawyers told her that this is how it’s done, I completely understand that she is going to have her husband do it. I am just so confused, she added the screenshot and everything!

    Yes, they were told that now that the I130 was approved, the foreign spouse could fly to the US and start the I485. OP did not mention filing a K3 or anything and specifically mentioned that the I130 was approved

    Weirdest thing on Reddit, OP claims that 3(!!) immigration lawyers told her that when you check that you want to do AOS on your I-130, the foreign national (who is not in the US yet) can fly to the US once the I-130 is completed and start the I-485 as soon as they are in the US. What am I missing? The foreign national wouldn’t have an immigrant visa yet, so would use an Esta (OP mentions they are Dutch) to enter the US and start the I-485.

    AOS always looks like a great idea until it doesn’t. I think people underestimate the ‘not being able to work or leave the US’ part. I assume you were aware of all the implications when deciding to do AOS? You could have told your partner that doing AOS would put you in a difficult spot, and that leaving the US on time and doing the CR1 would be a better decision for the long run. My husband and I were in the same boat, I was visiting the US and when we talked with a lawyer, they said I would be eligible for AOS, but I was not going to put myself in that situation and my husband completely understood.

    Gotcha! I need to learn how to read, completely missed that part!

    We also don't have that, the house is already paid off. I did explain that in a cover letter though, so I think it doesn't have to be an issue.

    Be careful saying things like that, people who have been waiting a long time now will get the added stress of thinking they might have done something wrong..
  14. Daphne .
    No, that is VERY quick! I hope this wasn’t done in error, but congrats!

    Your case seems to be red flag after red flag.. So you are now not living with your spouse but with 2 other women? What on earth are you trying to do?
  16. Daphne .
    No need to send 100 photos, pick a few and make sure they cover the entire timeline of your relationship/marriage. 100 pictures will not prove more than 10 carefully selected ones
  17. Daphne .
    USCIS understands that couples who live in seperate countries don’t have that type of evidence. We had the same thing, and we sent pictures of us together (and with family and friends), wedding pictures, some screenshots of social media posts, some text messages, boarding passes and pictures of the stamps in my passport when I visited. Any type of evidence of time we spent together. I am also from an EU country.

    Did she explain why she thinks it’s important to marry in the US? You are already married, also in the eyes of the US.
  19. Daphne .
    How bonafide is this marriage? Sure, it might be official, but you haven’t seen each other in 5 years and ‘sort of’ are in contact? This really doesn’t look good.
  20. Daphne .
    Oh man, that is just crazy!! Good luck!
  21. Daphne .
    I replied pretty much the same day, and according to them, should hear back within 60 days.
  22. Daphne .
    Your case took so much longer, so I just see it as being halfway there! I think they are dragging it out because they want to convert me and want me to apply for citizenship, I AM NOT CAVING
  23. Daphne .
    Just want to take a moment to celebrate my I-751's 2nd birthday today! What a special day it is

    This message means that one shouldn’t use a tourist visa to enter the US with the intent to adjust status, because that is a no-no No, not everybody moves to the US by using a tourist visa to enter and then file for an adjustment of status. The ‘proper’ way to do it is to file for a K1 or CR1.
  25. Daphne .
    Just an FYI, I don’t know if you have siblings, but before you want to also have them enter the US on a visitor visa and file for an adjustment of status for them, that will not work.. Starting to see a pattern here.
