    I would talk to her about the 'not wanting to work in the US' part, what will she do if this marriage doesn't work out? How will she provide for herself (assuming she will still want to stay in the US) without any work experience in the US? Also, working is about more than just money or a career, it is also a great way to meet new people and integrate into US society. A way for her to build her own life in the US and make some friends for example.

    Once the AOS is filed, they are fine and will be fine until this wraps up. File as soon as you have the marriage certificate!

    What status did you adjust from? It is kind of strange that the US citizen would go through all this effort of filing for the AOS and pay for all the fees etc. for a ‘babysitter’, especially since you mention that you work all day. How and when did you and your wife start your relationship and marriage?

    Filing them together would be needed if somebody adjusts status from a tourist visa for example. If you came on a K1 and got married within the 90 days you don’t need to file the I-30.

    Just go to the interview, the fact that they won’t have the medical results yet won’t be a dealbreaker, it will only postpone the decision a little more.

    Which address is at the bottom of your receipt notice? Please note that they might still have sent it to another service center in the meantime. Mine started at the NBC but it looks like it was sent to California somewhere during the process.

    Welcome to the forum! Lots of knowledge here, so you are in good hands. Why do you think you need to file a waiver of inadmissibility? Not sure what brings you to that topic. Hoping for a smooth process for you!

    WTH?! Why were you denied? I haven’t followed your journey, but from the comments here it looks like it has been a challenging journey.

    Check the boxes “yes” and she will reveive her card in about 2 weeks after the enters the US on her approved spousal visa. She is eligible to work immediately upon entering the US on her approved visa. I am not sure what you mean by amending the taxes. We filed married filing separately after we got married and I was still living in the NL, I didn’t have an SSN yet.

    Make what faster? The process takes this long, there are no shortcuts.

    A B visa is not an immigrant visa so should never be used with the intent to immigrate.

    You’ve got this! I know from first hand experience how hard it is leaving a partner behind after each visit, and at the same time I also know from first hand experience how important it is to set yourself up for success if you decide to move to the US in the future. Wishing you all the best!

    Quality over quantity, you’ve got this! 👍🏻

    I know, I saw your post on Reddit and I am glad that you changed your mind and are not going to rush into something that I didn’t think was a good plan considering the circumstances. Come here for moral support and common sense, and use Reddit for funny cat videos or other things that make you happy 😁

    Is your fear based on your actual experience visiting the US so far, or is it coming from somewhere else? I’ve had over 12 visits before I moved to the US, more than half of them were while I had an immigrant visa pending. This level of anxiety is not healthy. Maybe you are young, maybe you are an anxious person, but try to calm down. Continue to build strong ties to your home country, continue your relationship with your boyfriend and just keep going strong.

    No, that will not work. She can't leave the US until she has her AP approved. The point of the AP is to be able to travel outside of the US.
  17. Daphne .
    11 months between visits is enough. No need to be terrified of CBP, it is just common sense. No, a denied entry on your Esta (for suspected immigrant intent) will not have a negative impact on a future immigrant visa application, so you can still do a K1 or CR1 in the future

    Looks good! How many pages are the "all bank statements"? If that comes down to hundreds of pages, that might be overkill and you could just decide to send a statement for every quarter from the last years.

    There is just no limit to how far people will go... I thought I saw my fair share on Reddit every day already, but this is taking it to the next level!

    Aim for a couple of weeks in September?
  21. Daphne .
    But you are thinking about doing the next one more by the end of the year, right? So that will be a healthy amount of time in between visits.
  22. Daphne .
    CBP is strict because there are plenty of people who try to enter on a non-immigrant visa or Esta and will try to stay. So make sure that you keep your job (or get the other one you mentioned), have shorter visits and don’t extend your stay once you’re in the US. CBP will see a clean travel history (you leave the US as scheduled every time) and that will help!

    I don’t see a lot of issues there, just make sure to have a shorter visit than you had now. I was able to visit my bf/fiancé/husband throughout our entire relationship, even after we started the spousal visa process. I visited for 2 weeks every 3-4 months. I had a stable job/life and never had any issues visiting.

    You are the Canadian citizen, right? No, you can’t enter the US on a non-immigrant visa with the intent to adjust status (meaning: staying in the US). What you can do is get married and your spouse then needs to file for the CR1 visa so you can move to the US after that is approved. You will go through the process in Canada, not the US.
  25. Daphne .
    Keep your next stay shorter than this one for sure. How were you able to stay this long? Do you have a job?
