    Yes. @Patrón, you can ask at the interview if they will let you schedule a later date for the oath ceremony.

    Was the letter submitted with the N400 application?

    The article is referring to non-immigrant visas, for which some POE's do not stamp the passport, apparently. Your husband entered on an immigrant visa, which requires it to be endorsed upon entry. It is a one time endorsement that converts the immigration visa into a temporary GC for 1 year. As others have stated and shown examples, if your husband's visa is not endorsed you need to go to a deffered inspection center.

    Turbotax is pretty good at selecting the correct options. Go through it's questionnaire and see what categories you qualify.

    The attorney never suggested IR1 when her/she presented the option of waiting out the 5 year bar?

    There's always some politician who doesn't want immigration, and these get voted into power now and then. There has been immigration surges as well. Covid is about the only thing that is unique

    Not really. My K1 in 2018 took 6 months for approval, 8 months total for my fiance to arrive in Boston (mid June 2018 to Feb 2019). Immigration timelines seem to be cyclical - it speeds up and slows down over the years. Unfortunately, nowadays it's on or near the top of the slow curve.

    You cannot plan to the US on a visitor visa/ESTA and adjust status. That is fraud. Your US citizen spouse will need to start the spousal visa process by submitting an I-130. You will need to disclose that you have been charged/arrested but then the charges were dropped per the peace bond. Depending the initial charge and the terms of the peace bond, you may or may not be denied and need a waiver.

    Did you or your fiance inform the lawyer of your ban? If so, did he tell you the steps you had to take, if a waiver is available, and the chances of a waiver being successful? Basically, did he explain the entire process?

    Better use of the waiting time is to get married and file for a spousal visa. Then, after the bar, you can enter as IR1 and get a 10 yr GC.

    If the reason for denial was suspected immigration intent, then no, the previous B2 applications will not affect his K1. If he was denied due to other issues, like a criminal history, then that could affect his K1.
  12. SteveInBostonI130
    You posted in the K1 forum, but you are already married? If this is K1, what did you put on your DS-160 regarding your criminal history? Was your K1 approved?

    Sponsor married brother now. Category F4 (sibling) is not much longer than category F3 (married son/daughter). If you wait for your father to petition him (married brother), you are adding 8+ years to the current wait time (2 yrs for father to be USC, 6 years for him to get citizenship). Remember, filing eligibility/date is different from final approval/oath ceremony date.

    You probably need a new medical. The embassy should have sent you a message regarding this.
  15. SteveInBostonI130
    DS-160 confirmation page is typically required, to both the medical and schedule the interview.

    2 choices: 1. Paper file as MFJ now with ITIN application. 2. File MFS electronically and then refile as MFJ later, after you get your SSN.

    Child is currently a minor. Child needs to leave after turning 18.
  19. SteveInBostonI130
    You can petition your parents via I-130 (1 for each) and they can adjust status. Your sibling cannot. When your parents get their GC, one can go back with the minor child and the other can submit an I-130 for consular processing, category F2A.
  20. SteveInBostonI130
    You cannot change consulates at the USCIS stage. They do not make assignments. Only the NVC. For Iran I have noticed that they typically assign Ankara. After the NVC creates the case number and assigns the consulate, you can contact them to change it.
  21. SteveInBostonI130
    Please note, no matter what you put for the embassy, NVC will assign the embassy/consulate based on the beneficiary's current address. You can change that after it's been assigned.

    Medical was July 20, 2021. AOS was filed May 18, 2022. The medical was within 1 year of the AOS submittal.
  23. SteveInBostonI130
    1. Yes, USCIS can sometimes loose attachments. 2. Send in the requested items, including the I-693 as well. You should not need to do one if you filed the AOS within 1 year of the K1 medical, but the path of least resistance is to get one done and send it in. Arguing against doing one will delay your case and may or may not succeed.

    Make sure to print out the DS-160 after you complete it. Save it as a PDF file.
