    He doesn’t want you to leave, but does he also know in which position that puts you? Having to (unexpectedly) quit your job, not being able to work and leave the US until you have authorization? That could take a while. I think that is A LOT to ask from somebody you’ve only been in a relationship with for a short time. Especially if you weren’t even intending to meet up with him during this trip?

    Ties to your home country are a stable job, a family, property, business. Things like that.

    People who intentionally do this are not cool people, way too many of those on Reddit…

    We had no joint bank account (still don’t), I was not added to any insurance or utility bill, we had nothing of that sort because I was still living in my home country and everything turned out okay. USCIS understands that couples who live in separate countries don’t have that type of evidence.

    Are you confusing a Field Office with a Service Center maybe?

    I started applying for jobs about a month before I moved, because I knew that I would be able to attend a job interview (I moved pre-covid). Had a job interview 3 days after arriving in the US and started my job 2 weeks later.

    I always answered according to what the status was, so this went from “visiting boyfriend” to “visiting fiancé” to “visiting husband”. The letter will not really mean anything, and won’t guarantee that she’s not going to overstay or adjust status, so I see no benefit in that. I would for sure do a shorter trip, being able to be away from your life for months at a time does not scream strong ties.

    So happy that the whole RFE situation turned out to be nothing. Still no sign that they ever received my response, but I guess that it didn’t matter after all. But with my immigration journey so far (waiting 120 days for my greencard, receiving card with wrong name, waiting 9 months for I-90 to get approved, I-751 taking this long) I won’t relax until I actually have my 10 year green card in hand 😅 It has been a Murphy’s Law type of journey so far! Thank you!!!

    My I-751 was approved today!!!!! I don’t think they ever looked at my RFE response because they say they didn’t receive it (whatever…) but after 2.5 years I made it!

    It is permitted, but if she’ll be admitted by CBP is another matter and will depend greatly on how strong her ties to Indonesia are. Don’t have her visit for the max amount of time because that doesn’t show great ties. Does she have a stable job and life in Indonesia? I was able to visit the US while my I-130 was processing but had short visits of up to 2/3 weeks every 3 to 4 months and that travel pattern never caused any issues. I had a stable job and life in the Netherlands.

    She will do the interview for the K1, and further down the line you might have to interview together for the adjustment of status process (which needs to get filed/started after you got married). Some of those have been waived though, so she might get her greencard without having the adjustment of status interview. I don’t know the specifics about her country, but somebody might have more intel on that.

    Yes, the $220 immigrant fee is part of it and you need to pay it in order to get the green card. The instructions came when I received my passport back with the visa in it, that letter explained what it was for and how to pay it.
  13. Daphne .
    I sure hope that they are not going to to pull the same stunts as they have been doing in 2023 and forget about people who filed ages ago. This is just so wrong and I wonder if it will encourage people to just enter on a tourist visa with the intent to adjust status. USCIS is just making a fool out of local Embassies and CBP who do their best to prevent/screen for potential abuse of a tourist visas by granting green cards in lightning speed..

    If he entered the US after your 2nd wedding anniversary he should receive a 10 year green card.

    CR1 will be between 18-22 months.
  16. Daphne .
    USCIS doesn't care if you don't have a huge wedding or anything. But please think twice about doing AOS..

    It is not likely that you’ll get a tourist visa approved, sorry.. Try to find a country that you can both travel to relatively easy. As mentioned before, he can ask for assistance at the airports he will fly through. It doesn’t sound like he is bedridden, and even though it might not be easy, he should still be able to travel with some assistance.
  18. Daphne .
    Did his doctor specifically tell him that he is not allowed to travel at all? Wheelchair assistance is available at airports and for flights, so that could be an option. Depending on where you are, you might want to meet somewhere in the middle or a little closer to him than to you, because I understand that a 12-hour flight for example would not be ideal for him.

    I think OP means as ‘evidence’ (for lack of a better term) of a bonafide marriage. OP: no need to wait, you want to get this ball rolling as soon as you can!

    I don’t really see any issues with your case. Yes, she should include the US address. Send what you have, but no reason to go overboard by sending 100 pages of texts or something, just pick a few. Good luck!
  21. Daphne .
    Your plan is not going to work. First of all, she was very lucky to get a new Esta after an overstay, but CBP will deny her entry when you all show up at the border and CBP asks about the purpose of the visit and how long she will stay (these are standard questions). She can’t stay on an Esta for 8 months and she also can’t use her Esta to enter with the intent to adjust status. Since you start a new job, ask the Embassy if your case qualifies for Direct Consular Filing.

    I really am not interested in becoming a US Citizen, I know it will nudge things and will prevent me from having to deal with USCIS for the rest of my life, but it's just a personal preference. I know I might have to reconsider that, but not really feeling it.. I am already eligible to file.
  23. Daphne .
    That’s what I think too! Technically (according to them) I didn’t respond to the RFE, but my case is still open so something is off. I’ll try calling them again today, and ask questions a different way, I don’t know..

    I am in Minnesota, so that’s why I don’t understand why I had to send the response to Fresno. When I told the rep that this didn’t make sense at all, she said that cases can get moved. I told her that yes I understand that they can move service centers, but moving it to a different field office (especially one at the other side of the country) makes no sense at all. She had no answer.
  25. Daphne .
    Yes, I do and I will add it when I send the response packet again. I told the rep, but that of course went nowhere!
