    This is normal, the status will change from this to Administrative Processing and eventually Issued, but this could take from a few days to a few weeks, to a few months. Hope it'll update soon!

    Not mandatory for the K1, you will be fine. Some people choose to do it but it’s not required.
  3. Daphne .
    Yes, that advice is not above board.. Also, that wouldn't be the K3 but that would be an adjustment of status. Immigration takes a while, it is a marathon and not a sprint.

    Wonderful!

    Your status could go to “refused” for a little bit (could be for a few hours, or days) but don’t freak out about that. After that it will change to “Issued”. It took 7 days for me to receive my passport back, but that was in the NL congrats!

    USCIS understands that couples who live in different countries might not have that type of evidence. We had no shared back account or credit card etc, and we had no issues. No need to create evidence just for the sake of it. Focus on evidence of time spent together instead.

    Still waiting too, August 2021 filer here.
  8. Daphne .
    They’re not going to open up links etc. You can imagine the security risk I hope. Just send other pictures you took.

    It would be a moot point because you have no control over which service center your case goes to.

    I think I’m school 4: “the service center might matter, but you can end up in a ‘quick’ service center on the desk of a ‘slow’ rep. This is a public forum, so anybody can respond how they like of course, positive or negative. Honestly, I’ve been a member here for a while and don’t recognize the schools you are referring to, but maybe you put me under school 3, I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Everybody here understands how difficult and frustrating the long wait times are, we’ve all been there. As frustrating as it is, please don’t go down this path. It’s just not right..

    It really isn't a lot of hassle to just Google the addresses

    POE’s to avoid for which reason?
  14. Daphne .
    Applying for an adjustment of status or do you mean getting the ball rolling with an I-130 for consular processing? Don’t your parents have lives to go back to? Applying for AOS would mean that they’ll be stuck in the US while that is processing. Also, as others have mentioned, health insurance might be hefty..

    I honestly don’t understand why your lawyer would say that. Did they provide any additional info on why she shouldn’t mention it? I assume you have a bonafide marriage and she will move to the US on a CR1 or IR1 which allows her to work immediately. Unless this marriage is not bonafide and only exists so she can get a greencard, I see no issues.
  16. Daphne .
    She just needs to tell the truth of course. It sounds like you think it would be a bad thing if she tells them that she wants to work, why would you think that?

    Being able to live together during the process is not a very realistic expectation. Yes, you can file for the K3, but that visa is pretty much dead. You can have short visits while your case is being processed, just make sure to keep strong ties to the UK. I was able to visit my husband in the US without any issues using my Esta, I kept my visits short (1-2 weeks per visit) and had a stable job/life in the NL, so never had issues visiting. Unfortunately, temporary separation is part of the process.
  18. Daphne .
    For me, it was a no-brainer. I was not going to be stuck in the US without being able to work or leave so we did the CR1. I started my job 2 weeks after I moved to the US and it really helped me to integrate and start my own life. I did not want to have to depend on my husband for everything, I had a very independent life in The Netherlands.

    The US Citizen must travel before or with you.

    There are some very religious people in the Dutch biblebelt who refuse to get vaccinated or refuse to get their children vaccinated.

    Yes, the majority of K1’s go to the California service center and 15 months sounds right for an estimate. Here is the guide that will show you what else to expect:

    It HAS to be the poor I-751 gathering dust on a shelf! 🤣
  23. Daphne .
    I don’t know, OP apparently removed the post after people started commenting on it.
  24. Daphne .
    I saw this exact same post on Reddit not too long ago, but OP was still in Canada and ‘ready to start a family’ but no mention of being pregnant. The post disappeared but is this a freaky coincidence? OP was advised that entering as a tourist with the intent to adjust status is not the way to it. Very strange..

    It means they received it and creating the online account will help you to keep an eye on the progress.
