    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?

    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:
  3. 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?
  4. Daphne .
    Not sure why this thread is full of confusing answers? OP: the spousal visa is the way to go, here is the guide
  5. Daphne .
    Yes, tourist visas are not immigrant visas, so your plan to relocate them on a tourist visa wasn’t going to work anyway.
  6. 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.
  7. Daphne .
    OP is doing consular processing, it looks like your case was an adjustment of status? Different process, so different ‘rules’ for the evidence.
  8. 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!

    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?
  10. 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!!!

    Okay, so your husband is aware and okay with you not being able to work, so no need to feel guilty about that. Are you both very young? 3 Months long distance really is not a lot and I hope that you’ve been in a relationship together a lot longer than that?
  13. Daphne .
    Did you and your husband discuss this prior to choosing to adjust status from your Esta?
  14. Daphne .
    The adjustment of status process is not easy. This is why never even considered a K1 or adjusting status from a non-immigrant visa. I wouldn’t be able to cope with losing my independence for how ever long it takes. Good luck!

    A child doesn’t necessarily prove an existing or bonafide relationship. Plenty of single parents and children born out of one night stands.
  16. Daphne .
    And all in the name of ‘culture’… This should not be legal…
  17. Daphne .
    Yes, this is usually what happens and also the reason why K3’s don’t get issued a lot.
  18. Daphne .
    I don’t think that’s a fair statement to make.. If he wants to have multiple wives he can stay in a country where this is ‘okay’. If I were to move to a muslim country for example I am expected to comply with the local customs as well, this CANNOT be a one way street…
  19. Daphne .
    Just to add to the other advice already given: you aren’t required to buy a oneway ticket. Roundtrip tickets are usually cheaper so I would look into that if I were you.
  20. Daphne .
    Fortunately, this ‘cultural’ thing doesn’t fly in the US. The 2nd marriage is not legal in the eyes of the US anyway because bigamy is not legal. Your husband can file for the first wife (which is you, correct?) If he wants to continue to have multiple wives, maybe the US isn’t the place for him?
  21. Daphne .
    Mine took 120 days, but my journey was a “Murphy’s Law” type of situation anyway..
  22. Daphne .
    The K1 has the expensive adjustment of status process that comes with it and he won’t be able to work for a while, so it’s not an ideal choice. Why do you think they should do the K1? Before they start anything, they should at least have some more (at least 1 more) visits in I think
  23. Daphne .
    I should have been more specific. You have known each other for 20 years, how many years of those 20 years were you in a romantic relationship then? You were out of status, so a marriage with a USC was a way to fix that and in that short period of time you already had an affair. You only just received your greencard and now want a divorce. From an outsider perspective these factors are already a little sketchy, and she might have even more info, so again: she might have good grounds to want to report you. Even if she does, it might not make a difference for your I-751 with a divorce waiver though.
  24. Daphne .
    How long before you married did you know your spouse? And what was your immigration status in the US before you got married? I don’t think it’s fair to say they got ‘nuclear’ on you, because the totality of the circumstances (including the affair) could 100% be signs that they were right to feel that way..

    Site is having issues. I saw posts on Reddit from people with the same issue.
