    Then you have already violated the terms and conditions of your visa. CBP can and does inspect phones and laptops so once they find out, expect to go through expedited removal and your B2 being revoked. Obviously. However, the wording of “intervals” throws me off. If you’re planning to stay that long, then be prepared to stay out of the US for at least 10 months before trying to make a trip back, to be safe.

    You’re not allowed to work in any shape or form (remote or otherwise) while in the US on a B1/B2. That would be violating the terms and conditions of your visa. What does this mean exactly? you can’t live in the US on a B2 and wait out the process. No Possibly. It’s a non-immigrant visa and you clearly have an immigrant intent. However, a denial won’t affect your immigration process.

    ~~ Duplicate related thread removed. Please do not start multiple threads per topic (DCF in Cyprus) as that’s spamming. It also helps others understand the whole situation if it’s in one place ~~ This certainly explains the administrative review by USCIS you mentioned previously. There’s nothing much you can do when it comes to background checks, this one is taking a while it seems. If your record is clean then probably your name matched someone who has committed an AWA crime. One other solution I’ve seen here is a filing a Mandamus lawsuit with a federal court to force a decision.

    ~~ Duplicate thread removed; please keep all related questions in one thread as to keep the discussion in one place and to avoid cluttering the forums ~~ No limits (except K1 but plenty of people have received a multiple filer waiver to sponsor more that 1 fiancé) but the more you do, the more it might be scrutinized. This will depend on the circumstances of course. If international dating has proven difficult, you should look into the local dating scene.

    ~~ Topic moved to Effects of Major Family Changes” forum to be among similar threads ~~ Yes. As long as you’re legally free to marry. No. Also it doesn’t get canceled, it gets converted to a divorce waiver petition. You are still be on the hook for I-864 until one of the criteria for it to end is met. So far from what you have described I don’t see that it has ended, so make sure if you do sponsor someone in the future to also include your ex spouse in a new I-864.

    If the previous DS-160 for that B2 interview should be reused? My instinct says to fill out a new one since it’s a new submission but I might be wrong.

    This happened to a close friend of mine last year when her mother applied for B2. As soon as IO realized her daughter adjusted on B2, it was swiftly denied, even through she (the mother) had relatively good ties (stable career, young son).

    The foreign beneficiary will. At a US consulate in the country they are residing in.

    Yes.

    Sorry to hear about that. You would first need to get married and send off AOS paperwork, I would include AP expedite request in there too. A recent note would be helpful. However, keep in mind that USCIS’s understanding of an expedite is different, it can still take several months to process. Also, it is not guaranteed it will be approved. If it is pertinent to return urgently, then I would get married, leave the US and have the USC spouse file a petition for the spousal visa process, this would take 18-24 months

    Seems like @Chancy and @igoyougoduke have already done that.

    Most Canadians don’t apply for it. As with everything, there are exceptions. Besides, that was not the point of my post.
  17. powerpuff
    Probably another year or so

    Depends on the consulate.
  19. powerpuff
    Yes. Visitor visa = B2 It’s not different from Canadians applying for a B visa; her being a Hong Kong National does not change the process or wait time. She applies like anybody else would

    But the baby would not be a Canadian citizen if born in the US. The mother is a Canadian permanent resident. She would need to sponsor the child to be able to have the child admitted into Canada as a PR. “Entry into Canada: Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry proof of citizenship and identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. Children under 16 only need proof of U.S. citizenship. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Canada.html#:~:text=A valid U.S. passport%2C passport,need proof of U.S. citizenship.

    Baby would be entering as a tourist. This was already answered in the previous thread. As @Mike E said, you will be in secondary inspection for several hours for them to verify the child is a USC.
