    These are examples of proof that you can submit, it is not a requirement to send them all. As mentioned before, I had no evidence of financial co-mingling etc. but plenty of proof of time spent together, my CR1 was approved without any issues.

    My husband and I had no joint bank account (we still don’t 😅), children together, or any of that type of evidence, which makes sense because we were living on seperate continents, and we had no issues. We did the CR1. USCIS understands that couples who don’t live together yet don’t have that type of proof. Focus on the evidence of time spent together.

    Yes, I ask a lot of questions because I have been on this forum for a while and over the years have seen certain patterns..
  4. Daphne .
    Yes, love can happen quickly but there seems to be something off about your situation.. I assume you were in the US on a non-immigrant visa? What is the reason that you never lived together?
  5. Daphne .
    A legal marriage is not the same as a bonafide marriage..
  6. Daphne .
    Was this “marriage” set up so you could move to the US? How did your spouse not know if you had potential before you got married? How long did you know this person before you got married?
  7. Daphne .
    Why weren’t you living together? There must be more to this story..
  8. Daphne .
    But you are not even in the US yet? Why would you want to move if your spouse is mistreating you?
  9. Daphne .
    Nobody here is going to advise you to misrepresent the situation.. Why would you even consider this?
  10. Daphne .
    So you’re looking to move to the US, not really to just visit? This is very likely why your B visa was denied, I assume they suspected you of trying to adjust status once admitted to the US
  11. Daphne .
    The B visa is not a good avenue to go and I would reconsider even doing it at all because he’ll lose his Esta if the B visa gets denied. The reason for applying + having a spouse and child in the US= a very likely denial.. You can consider filing for adjustment of status or just leave it as it is, but I really don’t think you should continue the B visa..

    Your marriage is legal in the US. Married is married, doesn’t matter where you got married.

    According to OP they already got married in August. She arrived on tourist visa in December and they are now filing for AOS. Her tourist visa expires the 1st week of January so I think she was a VERY lucky person to even be admitted. This just makes me wonder what the conversation with CBP was like.
  14. Daphne .
    After filing for the adjustment of status, they will receive a receipt notice and that is proof that the application is pending, so she will be in authorized stay until a decision is made. It didn’t take them long to decide to go the adjustment of status route? What did she tell CBP when she entered the US? Does she have a job back home? Adjusting status means that she’ll have to quit her job and leave everything she has back home for a while because it might take a long time!
  15. Daphne .
    If your husband is outside of the US at the moment, your only option is to do it through consular processing (so at the US Embassy abroad) . He is not eligible for adjustment of status in the US.
  16. Daphne .
    No, not unless you have a visa that allows you to live in the US (yet). You can visit though, as long as you keep the ties to your home country strong.
  17. Daphne .
    I am afraid not... Besides, all these visas are non-immigrant visas (except for the work visa, but getting one of those is tricky anyway) and will not very likely be approved since your SO clearly has immigrant intent.
  18. Daphne .
    I updated my previous post with my timeline. Not sure what your friend was talking about, but pretty sure it wasn’t about the whole process. Maybe just the USCIS part?
  19. Daphne .
    where are you seeing a processing time of 9 months? I checked the processing times for all the USCIS centers and they are at least 10 months, but that is only the first part of the process. After USCIS, the case will go to the NVC and after that to the embassy. Expedites are of course free to request, but with the high number of expedite requests currently, USCIS is extra strict so please don’t expect an approved expedite. Edit: Just to give you an idea, my entire CR1 process (from initial filing to visa in hand) took 11 months. This was in 2019, so pre-covid and I am from an ‘easy’ country.
  20. Daphne .
    @tennisFL : I know this is not really what you want to hear, and trust me, most of us have gone through the exact same roller coaster of emotions when we just started the process so we know how you feel, but there really is no way to get her to the US any faster than already mentioned. The fact that she doesn't have a visitor visa yet makes it so much harder for you to see each other during the process. The only option to continue to visit each other would be in her home country or a 3rd country.
  21. Daphne .
    In general, people who already have a visitor visa, can visit their spouse or SO. I also did the same. But your spouse doesn’t have a visitor visa yet, and will most likely have a difficult time getting one approved.
  22. Daphne .
    I don’t think anybody here told you that. No, there is no way to bring her here while it is processing. She will very likely not get a visitor (or any other non-immigrant) visa approved as she clearly has immigrant intent.
  23. Daphne .
    She cannot come to the US with you until the CR1 is approved.
  24. Daphne .
    None of them are fast, you need to look at the options you have. It is the K1 or the CR1 (that is the spousal visa and these take anywhere around 18-24 months). The visitor visa is not an option because that is not an immigrant visa.
  25. Daphne .
    Or you can go visit her, get married there and start the spousal visa process. Why are you looking into a visitor visa if the plan is to have her move to the US?
