You’re conflating the red flags for the consulate vs us. WE are not saying these are red flags FOR US. But the consulate does and we know this from years we spent here coming across different cases. It’s the truth and the sooner you can accept that and work towards securing an approval the better it is for you. There is no need to get defensive about it, you do not need to prove anything to us. It’s the consulate you need to convince your relationship is legitimate and they key to that is spending significant time together in person. You should listen to @JeanneAdil. Their K1 was denied at the Morocco consulate and the CR1 after that as well. They had to appeal and the entire immigration journey took 6 years I believe. They had several - what the consulate sees - as “red flags” but they were able to overcome them.

As someone who has done the K1 process, I strongly recommend CR1 spousal visa. It has many more advantages and wait times are not that different.

*** Topic moved to Working & Traveling during US Immigration forum *** You need to decide what you would like to prioritize, completing the last steps of the immigration process or taking a trip to Mexico. Personally, I would choose the first. There too many moving parts here for my comfort level but of course this is your decision. It looks like you have a combo interview on which case you normally don’t receive a 10 year GC after the interview.

There is a reason. One glaring issue I see here is the lack of time spent in person. One visit is not enough at all, especially if the consulate is difficult and I’d categorize Algeria as one. I suspect the consulate thought the excuse is not strong. From the years I’ve been on this forum, fighting to revive a I-129f that was sent back is fruitless as they’re sent to die at USCIS. It’s also fruitless to try to read into the details of returned passports and updates. You need to address the issue I pointed out above before filing for another petition. That should be the focus right now. Lack of time spent is person is critical. Both if you will have to figure out how to make that happen to ensure approval next time around.

***Topic moved from CR1/IR1 forum to Working & Traveling forum as the question is about Employment authorization document*** All I-765s are processed at the National Benefits Center which is Lee’s Summit, Missouri.

Submit what you have. As I mentioned time spent in person is best evidence.

Another post merged with an existing thread. @Underscore U.S.A as you have been instructed before, please post all follow up questions regarding petitioning your spouse in THIS existing thread only. Thanks. Joint finances are not a requirement, it’s merely suggested and most couples who apply for CR1 do not have this type of proof. You can add her her as an authorized user on your American credit cards if you really want to submit something related to this. Proof of time spent together in person is the best evidence to present so I would focus on that.

So the only solution would be to provide whatever pay stubs you have from the new job. It should be fine, usually I-134 is not as strict as I-864 since it’s not legally binding.
