    Many have. Self filing K1 people is probably the largest group here on VJ, or perhaps second largest behind IR1/CR1. Follow the K1 visa guide here on VJ.

    What does the court document actually say, verbatim? 1. Current date for the court document and it states separation occurred on Date X. 2. Current date for the court document and it states divorce occurred on Date X. If it is 1, then as others have said your current marriage is not recognizable: you need to remarry. If it is 2, then you should be ok. I'd consult an immigration lawyer familiar with your country just to be sure.

    Sister can submit and I-130 for him and his family for consulate processing. He will need to return to Mexico (or his home country if not Mexico) with his family to complete the process, barring any issues with bans due to overstay or illegal entry. If he is Mexican, it will take over 22 years to get an immigration visa, at which time his children would most likely age out. Is he is from another Latin American country it will take over 15 years, at which point his children may or may not age out.

    NVC will set up the appointment and send you the IL, not the embassy.

    Does your SSA have any limits, like "work with DHS authorization only" or similar? If it is a "clean" SSN card, then there is no real rush for you to update it right away. Make an appointment at your local SSA office when you get your certificate back.

    The I-864 is between you and USCIS. It has definitive conditions for releasing you from your signed obligations. No other condition will "remove" or "withdraw" it. Even if your wife gets another sponsor, you will remain the primary sponsor.

    @Worldismine03, what are your chances, per your plan? Pretty good? A member here went through a similar ordeal. She was engaged to someone from a muslim country, she was older than him, their K1 was denied, they married and spent as much time together as they could, and their CR1 was approved. I believe this member is @Jeanne Adil

    The last two paragraphs was a CR1 to K1 comparison. 24-62 months for a CR1/IR1 to get a 10 yr GC, vs 44-82 months for a K1 to get a 10 yr GC.

    You are allowed to work remotely as an LPR, as far as USCIS is concerned. The visiting country allowing you to work remotely is a different matter. In your specific case, you should be able to do so but will have to evaluate tax implications. This part has nothing to do with USCIS.

    CR1. Aside from the immediate benefits over the K1, some more things to consider: - If the CR1 takes 2+years, then upside: spouse will get a 10 yr greencard. - If the K1 takes 2+ years, you would still need to get married and then adjust status. If the AOS then takes 12-23 months, then your spouse will still have a 2 yr conditional greencard. 2 yrs later you will have to go through the removal of conditions, which may take another 18 months. Total time from now (as soon as you can marry) to your spouse getting a 10 yr GC is 24 months to about 62 months (assuming 18 months for ROC) when doing CR1/IR1. Total time from now to your future spouse getting a 10 yr GC is about 44 months (20 months for K1) to 82 months.

    Typically they would want court records on the conviction. If you cannot obtain it or if it doesn't exist, then provide as much detail as possible, both of the event and conviction, and the attempts of obtaining court records, including who you contacted and their responses.
  13. SteveInBostonI130
    Yes

    If your joint sponsor has a spouse and he/she needs to combine his/her income with their spouse's to qualify as a joint sponsor, then the spouse fills out and signs the I-864A for the joint sponsor's I-864.

    If you have an A-number, enter it. It does not matter if you are a citizen now. You will always have a record under your A-number, and USCIS needs it to run some checks. When I submitted the I-129F for my fiance, I was a newby and didn't know I had an A-number - my parents naturalized me when I was a child. I left that field blank, and USCIS entered it for me (they sent my fiance a scanned copy of the processed and approved I-129F). USCIS having to look up my A-number may have delayed my petition a bit: our I-129F took slightly longer than average in my tracking group. Or it was just a coincidence.

    Who is "they" that you are referring in the sentence I bolded? Your interview was set by the NVC. That letter you quoted at top is your interview confirmation letter. I suspect when you logged into USTraveldocs with your old account and attempted to schedule an interview, it probably resumed from your last session - old tourist visa application, student visa, whatever. That has no bearing to your CR1. If you still have doubts, email the embassy to confirm the date set by NVC. Forward the NVC email for reference. Do not confuse matters with the UStraveldocs issues in that email.

    At least once within the last two years. Not required to be with her continuously. You are good to go.
  18. SteveInBostonI130
    The requirement is to meet at least once within the previous 2 years. You said you visited there on Oct 20. 1. Did you meet your fiance on Oct 20? 2. When did you send the I-129F?
  19. SteveInBostonI130
    It is an authentic scam.
  20. SteveInBostonI130
    There is no additional fee for the interview appointment. For CR1, you payed to the NVC the AOS and IV fees previously. I am 99.9% sure that you do not need to confirm your appointment. The 0.1% is the uncertainty that Prague may do something different than most embassies. Do you have the exact wording from the interview appointment email? The last 3 fees you need to pay are the Medical, the document delivery (passport) by courrier, and the USCIS immigration fee after you get approved and you receive the CR1 visa.
  21. SteveInBostonI130
    First, if this is for a IR1/CR1, the NVC schedules your interview. Second, the "new application/schedule appointment" section wants the receipt number from the bank or payment method IF you filled out and payed for the DS-160 fees, which does not apply to IR1/CR1.
  22. SteveInBostonI130
    Will you be in the UK for the next 6+ months? If so, then email NVC and ask them to change the embassy. I believe nowadays it starts with an inquiry form.
  23. SteveInBostonI130
    Go over the entire entry process with your fiance. Verify that CBP didn't ask him to declare that he will not stay and try to adjust status. @Crazy Cat mentioned that there was a case a while ago where a couple's AOS was denied because the spouse was specifically asked about the intent to adjust status and he/she declared that he/she would not.

    I would consult a tax professional. You do have to file taxes as a married LPR if you earned over some ridiculously low amount ($5, I think). Filing taxes is different from owing taxes - that is where a tax professional could help.
  25. SteveInBostonI130
    I would assume it means your case number's last two digits are 01. One of 100 possibilities.
