    What is preventing you from booking a return ticket? Usually a trip has a start and an end?

    It seems like he doesn’t want to. Does this not raise a red flag with you? And don’t you mean: “I can’t think of anyone who would purposely want to miss their interview to go to the person they are about to get married to”? If his desire to come to the US would be bigger than his desire to get married to you, that wouldn’t be good. Him purposely missing his interview shows that he is not ready to get married to you yet.

    When did you enter the US and claim asylum? When did you marry? Is your country safe now?

    I know that the mother just wants to visit and that yes, her daughter can petition for an immigrant visa if she wanted her to move. Not sure what you mean by “being old is an automatic tie to her home country”.

    I am not fighting with you, and also not accusing her of anything. Just talking about how the CO will look at it.
  6. Daphne .
    I know not everybody wants to move to the US, but that’s what the CO will assume so she needs to focus on her ties to Jamaica. It’s not so much about luck, it’s about assessing how high the risk is and sometimes a CO makes an incorrect assessment.

    What is going to prevent her from having you file an adjustment of status for her once she is in the US? What does she have in Jamaica that will prevent her from staying in the US? The Embassy will want to know how strong her ties to Jamaica are to assess how much of a risk she is for not leaving the US. She needs to focus on those ties.

    The I-130 is not necessary for the adjustment of status process from a K1 if you marry within the required 90 days. Here is the guide:
  9. Daphne .
    You can file for AOS but don’t underestimate how challenging this process is (not being able to work or leave the US for a while). It can put a lot of pressure on a marriage and if big life events happen ‘back home’ (sickness, deaths, etc) you might not be able to be there. The timelines for work and travel authorizations (if you decide to file for those, but they are optional) vary a lot. Some people can work after 3 months, others had to wait closer to a year. Think really hard and long about going this route. The adjustment of status always sounds great until it doesn’t. Don’t make this decision with your heart, make it with your brain.

    You mean if she’s able to visit you while it’s processing? Yes, but always up to CBP of course and she needs to make sure to keep her visits short and her ties to the UK strong.
  11. Daphne .
    Which wife did you marry first? The one in your home country or the US Citizen wife? So your wife ‘back home’ will not only be without a spouse (very loose term) but also without her children???? Also, did you naturalize based on the marriage in the US or through different means?

    Talk to her first to see how she feels about being stuck for a while without being able to work or leave. The adjustment of status process always sounds great until it doesn’t. If she is good with the above, you can start the adjustment of status process. If she’s not, then go the CR1 route and have her leave after her visit.
  14. Daphne .
    I don’t see any issues. You have a relatively short visit and seem to have good ties to Germany.
  15. Daphne .
    I see somebody already posted a link for you but why do you feel that you have to show them proof of this? Or do you want to start working with them again when you are in the US?
  16. Daphne .
    Agree with the other comments, fire that shady lawyer or have them write down that advice on paper 😅 You start the spousal visa for her, here is the guide:
  17. Daphne .
    You need to have met at least once in the 2 years prior to filing. That is the requirement. It doesn’t matter how old the pictures are by the time your fiancé(e) has their interview. When is the last time you saw each other?
  18. Daphne .
    Not sure why this thread is full of confusing answers? OP: the spousal visa is the way to go, here is the guide
  19. Daphne .
    Yes, tourist visas are not immigrant visas, so your plan to relocate them on a tourist visa wasn’t going to work anyway.
  20. Daphne .
    Her not wanting to return home (which is what most people would do who moved to the US for love and ended up in a terrible marriage immediately) will very likely not help her VAWA case.
  21. Daphne .
    OP is doing consular processing, it looks like your case was an adjustment of status? Different process, so different ‘rules’ for the evidence.
  22. Daphne .
    USCIS understands that couples who live in different countries don’t have any co-mingled finances and such. For consular cases, evidence of time spent together and continued communication are good evidence. Your evidence looks good. If possible, try to get as many visits in as possible. Good luck!
  23. Daphne .
    They very likely will not, but they will wonder why she wants to go to a language school in the US to improve her English. There are many other (online) resources available for that. An F1 is a non-immigrant visa, so the interviewing officer will want to see evidence that she will actually leave the US after her studies, so they will be interested to see how strong her ties to her home country are. What will prevent her from trying to adjust her status once in the US?
  24. Daphne .
    No, as she is not in the US anymore, she is not eligible for an adjustment of status anymore. She cannot use her tourist visa with the intent to adjust status, she needs to go through consular processing.

    Congratulations!!!
