  1. Not for the 2 year meeting. It is not a policy, it is written in law. On my time here at VJ, all posters who have tried waivers have failed. I would be delighted to be proven otherwise. Please post an example of either USCIS not enforcing the 2 year meeting or of a successful waiver.
  2. You have more than enough. Possibly too much. For the I-129F, you only need to submit evidence of having met in person within the last 2 yeas. Some countries are difficult and people need to front-load the I-129F with tons of relationship evidence. Denmark is not one of them.
  3. Incorrect Read the requirements for filing the I-129F. https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f
  4. OP has not met his fiance in over 3 years. K1 requirement is to have met within 2 years of filing.
  5. It is not allowed to enter on a B2 or ESTA with the intent to adjust status. That is violating the terms of the B2/ESTA and misrepresentation of purpose of entry if the intent is not disclosed.
  6. The other poster is talking about 1st Class flights - the most expensive ticket. Next level down is business class, then premium economy, then economy. Some airlines have one more level down, something called economy light. One poster who requested a waiver for the 2 year meeting requirement had severe anxiety with flying, to a point where he claimed he gets physically ill. He had medical reports for his condition - he was denied. He ended up driving to Florida and taking a cruise to the Caribbean to meet his fiance - he flew her there.
  7. Online chats and such is weak evidence, especially prior to meeting. You or your bf could have chatted with tens of other people at the same time. Not stating that you did, but to an onlooker how would they know? When I met my wife online, I chatted with several others. She did as well. Another woman became close - it seemed like a gf-bf relationship but in reality it wasn't. After a month we "broke off" and we stopped communicating. The relationship with my wife didn't become real until I flew over and met her. We held hands as we walked out of the airport and basically haven't let go. There are college students and others who successfully get spousal visas with little or no commingling financial evidence and evidence of living together. Meet, spend time with each other, and if he is the one and you are the one for him, get married and go for the CR1.
  8. Ballpark should be fine, if the year is correct and the month is close. You can add additional comments about not being precise due to it being long ago and not retaining the paperwork. Otherwise FOIA is the way to go.
  9. With F4 being 15-20 years, and taking longer for certain countries, this type of post will not get much traction. It is not like CR1 or K1, where there are hundreds of applicants per month, hundreds processed every month, and no wait for a visa number. I would suggest you fill out your timeline and use the "find similar timeline" function.
  10. You have to use the receipt number given after you paid the $220 immigration fee. Do not use the I-130 receipt number or the NVC case numbers. GC will be mailed to the address provided when the immigration fee was paid. Takes up to 120 days. There are no more forms to fill out for immigration. You do need to fill out the SS5 for the social security number if your wife does not have one. That is for the Social Security Administration.
  11. Google "import car from Canada to US". Look for CBP website links. It is better to make all preparations (emission and safety inspection/compliance) before your trip and handle the import at the border, but you are given some time to do it later. There was a poster who had a hard time crossing in Buffalo, NY. I can't find the post, but their case was a bit complicated. Normally the entry process is routine. They may ask you something about your fiance - where they live, where and when do you plan to get married, etc. Be direct and do not jest. There was a poster who replied "not sure, I might not want to marry", or similar, and CBP denied that person entry. Normally CBP will remind you that you need to marry within 90 days per the terms of the K1, and send you on your way.
  12. First, forget about affecting her LPR status, or you having any power over it. If you make any threats or even suggest that you can "take away" her immigration rights, a competent divorce attorney she hires will have a field day. Second, the terms of the divorce is impacted by the laws of your state. Property division, alimony, etc all depends on where you live and your circumstance. Consult a divorce attorney now.
  13. What is on the previous page, or on the bottom of the left side of that page?
  14. Per the Visa Bulletin for March 2023, visa numbers are available for those on or before 01-Dec-2014 for F1 India. So, about 2 - 6 more years. The range is wide because the F1 category for India has been 01-DEC-2014 since September 2021. It has not moved for a year and a half. In fiscal year 2021 (Oct 2020 to Sep 2021), F1 for India moved 3 months for the entire year - processed 1 month of backlog every 4 months. Unless they clear the Dec 2014 backlog soon, there is no realistic way to predict how quickly 2015 applicants can get their visa number.
  15. USPS can deliver of Saturdays and can deliver to the main PO Box. FedEx/UPS needs to deliver to the building and only on weekdays unless you pay extra.
  16. Your profile states F-1 visa. Did you mean to select K-1 visa?
  17. A couple years ago? Your case has to be active at NVC. After 1 year of inactivity, NVC will close the case. Please let us know the following dates (at least month and year) - Date I-130 No. 1 was submitted for you (father) - Date I-130 No. 2 was submitted for your wife (mother) - Date I-130 No 1 was approved by USCIS - Date I-130 No 2 was approved by USCIS - Date NVC welcome letter was received for I-130 No. 1 - Date NVC welcome letter was received for I-130 No. 2 - Date IV and AOS fees were paid for No. 1 - Date IV and AOS fees were paid for No. 2 - Date of last NVC activity (document upload) for No. 1 - Date of last NVC activity (document upload) for No. 2
  18. File I-751 now for your removal of conditions. Needs to be filed before June 2 2023. N400 this time next year.
  19. It's not in USCIS's mandate to help you become a citizen of another country. It's actually the complete opposite. I don't think they will be very keen to grant you an expedite.
  20. Immediate family: parents, spouse, children under 21: About 2 years for their immigration visa. Also can Adjust Status if in the US. Unmarried Son/Daughter over 21: 9-11 years to immigrate, cannot adjust status. Married Son/Daughter (and their family as derivatives): 15+ years to immigrate, cannot adjust status. Brother/Sister (and their family as derivatives): 18+ years to immigrate, cannot adjust status.
  21. Is it not allowed or is it more cultural - it is not normally done? From what I have read, it can be done but is complicated: your NIE needs to be changed, as well as your residencia, and a few other steps. The hassel may be worse than getting a visa for the US passport.
