if these are the traditional shoes (not slippers like we wear in US for bedtime shoes) then of course/ its what is the norm in our countries I wear mine out here in the USA these would be the slipper / shoe we take off to walk on carpets and are normal for Sir Lanka

The OP asked a question and the person should have been the one to say why they did K1 instead of CR1 /the other poster that started the disapproval of Crazy cat's message should have started his own thread, then we can stick to the posted subject and help each other as every member and every question is important

No member here has posted one since 9/2019 approval but yes, they are happening according to government stats for January 2023 the following were approved Ankara CR1 20 Ankara CR2 1 Ankara CX 2 Ankara DV 141 Ankara E2 10 Ankara E3 6 Ankara EW 11 Ankara F1 3 Ankara F2B 8 Ankara F3 24

Problem here is everyone wants to hurry over and over we see; "what's the fastest way to bring someone here" fiancee or spouse or parent none of these visa petitions should be "the fastest way" u need to understand the financial burden especially for older parents Love will not concur all when it comes to money problems or disagreement on how to raise kids and some will divorce even if married to another USC -nothing is guaranteed in life all of it is by choice but everyone should research the visa and expectations that go along with it but if u r not sure about marriage, don't if u think the K1 gives u time to decide , don't do it till u have decided there is nothing wrong with dating And there is nothing wrong with dating several (contrary to popular belief) dating long distance is hard but meet as much as possible and get to know each other love is one thing but u need to LIKE each other

yes, the K1 is not a shopping cart where u get to bring the person here and send them back if they don't fit the lifestyle OP sorry this got out of hand and away from your questions u only have to show u met thru your things like boarding passes and photos of your meeting If USCIS needs more proofs , they will issue a RFE (and don't worry about it -its just asking for more details and not really a big problem)

if u post for K1 or CR1 the intent is to marry if u don't want to marry , don't do either we don't push CR1 because of a green card we say (to people who intend to marry) the spouse visa has advantages like getting SS # and DL and not going thru the AOS process (which by the way will go from $1225 to $2820. and yeah, sometimes we have to think about spending the money To me i did K1 and it was denied (being ignorant of this process i had no idea what i getting into) so i had to do CR1/IR1 and that meant my husband who is trying to support family back in Moroc was able to work and found a job within 2 months

W 199 if u aren't ready to marry, don't do either

If your medical papers are given to u to send thru Aramax, write your case # , both names and dates of birth on the outside envelope before u deliver to Aramax. otherwise the reports are lost on a desk with hundreds of cases as CO's need case '# Example: January 2023 Casa approved 489 IV cases and 1864 NIV (and we have no #'s on unapproved cases) i know NIV don't need medical for tourist, etc but it is still a case on a desk help yourself and enable the medical exam go to the right case file/ sometimes not ID 'ing the case # is the reason for longer AP

why would anyone go for K1 when its takes just as long as spouse visa and is more hassle and costs more the proposal to up the charges for adjusting status after US marriage is suppose to go to $2820 instead of$1225

On)top of this any K1 (or CR1 ) from India can go into extended AP (adminitrative process) and getting a visa (as your receipt says) is not guaranteed Did the lawyer tell u the process after marriage in the USA was going up from $1225 to $2820? At this point the spouse visa far outweighs the K1 -not only for being able to work, travel , get SS and DL with no issues but it is cheaper U need to carefully go to the word above (guides) and get to know the steps And understand the wait for an interview is long

Many use schedule C with 1040 (running a busness) and this is not reflect how much a person takes out for personal income personal bank statements would show what the person actually lives on for income if the person has a separate account for business and personal IRS can't judge how much a person actually makes and lives on unless the business taxes are done completely separate from the personal in which case the business would provide a 1099 NEC for his pay and any other employees (6 or more)
