  1. If you do get a 12 month ban/rehab, I suggest the two of you to marry and start over with the I-130. You may need to check with the embassy or the medical physician on how to handle the paperwork. Reason I suggest this is to have the 1 year wait work on your behalf. With a CR1, or IR1 if you wait 2 years after marriage before immigration, you skip the entire Adjustment of Status process. That is, you are an LPR and able to work/drive/travel internationally the day you arrive in the US. If you stick with the K1, then you need to marry and adjust status after arriving in the US. You cannot work or travel internationally, and in some states cannot drive, until you at least get the EAD and AP card (8+ months) or your GC (16+ months).
  2. I wouldn't. As a case officer, I would find it odd and perhaps a sign of desperation if I saw that an existing car title was updated with a non-driving spouse and little other evidence was presented. If there is good amount of other relationship and commingling of finances evidence, then the car title would be of little added value. Either way, I do not see how the car title helps. If it was a new purchase and both parties want to claim ownership from the get-go, that I would understand. Especially if both names are on the car loan.
  3. Is this for CR1? You posted in the K1 fiance forum. Processing times on VJ are estimates. It's as accurate as the members here update their information, plus/minus a variance. Game? Like Mario Brothers? I have not found USCIS humorous or fun. One word that sums them for me is Slow.
  4. You can petition for her, form I-130, can be filed online. Her family has to be listed in the form. They do not need to immigrate with her. Her category will be F2B. It will take 8 to 9 years, perhaps longer. Your son should keep his petition active, as a backup. Sibling F4 takes over 15+ years.
  5. One member here applied for ROC in 2019 and after 3.5 years filed N400. 4 months after filing for citizenship both ROC and N400 were approved. OP, you should file for citizenship. It has been faster nowadays and seems to shock the ROC back into life.
  6. Marry online and submit the I-130 online. No physical mailing required.
  7. USCIS site has all the information, including links for vaccine requirements, TB testing, income requirements, instructions for the petitioner, information for the beneficiaries, etc. DR, Chile and Jamaica are not on the Humanitarian Parole list. If you read the USCIS site, you would know this. Either this is a a prank post or a scam. I'm out.
  8. Please read the guidelines here for K1, and follow your K1 progress tracking group in the forums. There is no NVC welcome letter for K1, and there are no NVC steps. NVC just creates the case number and sends the I-129F to the embassy.
  9. Google the actual name and you will get plenty of information, including vaccination and TB testing requirements. "USCIS Humanitarian Parole"
  10. 1. Your wife files I-130 online for your MIL For the relevant question, Part 5, 61.a and 61.b, enter the city/town and state where your MIL lives in the US (I assume she lives with you). For Part 5, 62.a,b,c, leave blank - your MIL WILL NOT seek consular process for IR5. She will get a receipt number 2. You wife will get a receipt number for the I-130. 3. Use the I-130 receipt number to help your MIL file I-485, I-131, I-765 and I-864 (filled by your wife, and perhaps I-864a filled by you). Mail it in to the appropriate address with the $1225 fee. See if your MIL needs to also file I-693 for her medical. 4. Wait for biometrics. Go to biometrics. 5. Wait some more. 6. Wait even more. 7. AOS interview.
  11. There was a poster recently whose AOS was denied because they knew their husband before getting their student visa. You may face some issues. Or it may be routine.
  12. If you waited to naturalize, your child could have been a derivative of your wife, category F2A. Now, the only option is I-130 for your child. You can delay your wife's case at NVC until your son's petition is approved.
  13. That is at the discretion of USCIS. You were lucky. There are some who get their N400 interview and could not be approved because the ROC was still in process. They had to wait additional months for the ROC interview. Always prepare for the worst, never assume USCIS will make anything easy.
  14. For I-130, any. There is no dedicated center per region. You mail it to the TX lockbox or complete it online and they will send it to whichever center is on rotation.
  15. There is no set procedure for DCF. You need to keep in contact with the embassy and follow their instructions.
  16. You are jumbling the various steps into one. For clarity: I-129F for your fiance. One form, one fee. List fiance's children in that form. After I-129F approval and sent to embassy (about 14-24 months from now): DS-160 plus medical for each person, K1 and K2 categories for the DS-160 fees After fiance and kids arrive in the US: Marriage and related costs, within 90 days of arrival. After marriage: I-485 set of forms (I-131, I-765, I-864, etc) and fees for each. OR: Marry and file I-130 and fees for each. Less expensive overall.
