No, it’s not required if AOS filed within one year of overseas medical. However, the IO has the discretion to ask for it if he or she chooses to.

No

I’m sure everyone petitioning siblings would love it if it were only 3-5 years. It’s 20+ years for the sibling category

If you applied online I would upload it in unsolicited evidence tab. It wouldn’t hurt

I think you’re mixing up USCIS and NVC. What you described is for NVC. You’re still waiting for NOA2, so your adjudication will be paused while RFE is pending. Once they receive it, the IO will continue where they left off.

Buy a flexible ticket that can be changed without a fee.

It could easily be less that 6 months if so determined by CBP at entry. 6 months is what they generally allow, but this is determined at the discretion of a CBP officer. They can give her 2 month limit if they wanted to. That could explain why you can’t really find “official source” on this since it is discretionary. How long did you think she could stay in the US? I hope you didn’t think that if she got a 10 year tourist visa it means she can stay in the US for years. It’s not required but often asked for. It will be problematic if she can’t present a return ticket and can signal to the officer she’s planning to live in the US which is not what the tourist visa is for. travel insurance is not required. US consular officers are not CPB - CBP operates differently and are the final authority to determine entry. A Visa does not guarantee entry to the U.S. She might not have ties but the very least she can have is a return ticket to present if asked. I don’t see how age is related here… I haven’t heard of special treatment based on age.

Marriage to a US citizen does not confer any immigration rights or benefits. You actually need to apply for correct paperwork for that.

What happened to pursuing a student visa? That’s what you said you wanted to do in your last post.

No, it’s 120. I was given a paper after K1 AOS interview which stated to wait for 120 days to send an inquiry/receive a decision.

No Process is longer for spouses of GC holders than for spouses of US citizens. You’re looking at 4-5 years from filing to visa in hand for an F2A category.

~~ Topic moved from Ir1/CR1 forum to Tourist visas forum ~~ Applying for a B2 while ESTA eligible is a gigantic mistake. ESTA is gone, if not forever, for many, many years. Added to that is a strong immigrant intent demonstrated by a pending I-130 for an F2A visa. Looks like she’ll have to visit you in Netherlands or you meet in a third country.

Which application? Are you the petitioner or beneficiary?

Creating log in for CEAC was not necessary and is not part of the process. K1s do not pay any fees to NVC, that is done with the consulate and there’s no welcome letters. All you can do at this point is monitor CEAC status and wait for it to change from “At NVC” to In transit and finally Ready. As NVC said themselves, they will notify you when the case is sent to the consulate. Right now you’re waiting in the queue to be transferred.

No, that’s not what I suggested or am suggesting. Student visa is not for immigrating to the US, which is the intent here so no, I won’t be suggesting immigration fraud. Also, do you really think the CO will issue a non-immigrant student visa when it’s clear that he has an immigrant intent? After you enter the US, file the petition for your son and also for a re-entry permit for yourselves. This allows you to be out of the country without losing your LPR status for up to 2 years. You can wait the process together with your son in Pakistan.

What visa is the adjustment from? I-131 fee is waived when filing concurrently with I-485. I-765 fee is also waived, you should file that form too.

He cannot immigrate with you; IR5 does not allow derivatives. Once you enter the US and activate your LPR status, you will have to file a petition for him. It is critical that he remain unmarried.
