    Combo interview scheduled! I-751 filed in June 2023 (approx. 1.5 years waiting time) N-400 filed in Sept 2024 (approx. 2 months waiting time)

    Any legit job that pays enough to raise a family will ask for your SSN. And you use the SSN to properly report your income to the IRS. If neither of those things interests you, all I can say is good luck, girlll

    Part of being a responsible mother/housewife is having backup plans in case your spouse becomes unable to work (has an accident, loses his job, or many other common life events that can happen to anyone at any time). Anyway, what's done is done. The VisaJourney forums are full of info from people at every stage of the process. You have the opportunity to research, plan ahead and learn from others' experiences. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

    I check the online status every couple of months, but I don't expect any movement for a couple of years. Maybe that will change when I file for naturalization next year.

    I believe you are confusing the requirements for an immigrant visa (K1) and a tourist visa (B1/B2). They are completely separate. For the K1 visa, the petitioner (US citizen) must demonstrate that they are able to financially support their fiance. The income and asset requirements are outlined here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#8 For the tourist visa (B1/B2), the applicant (Indian citizen) must demonstrate strong ties to their home country and reasons to return after their short visit to the US. Applicants with significant income and assets in their home country are usually considered to fall into this category.

    That person needs to create their own account and ask their questions directly. Otherwise people are going to get confused by your account's post history. Also, that person may know details that are relevant to their case that you wouldn't necessarily know about.

    I can see AI immigration tools going both ways: it could reduce errors and speed up cases (by streamlining tedious tasks or easily looking up legal references) AND it could make lawyers and paralegals lazy (because they wouldn't double-check the AI's output). https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/immigration-lawyers-look-to-ai-to-make-rote-work-faster-cheaper There are a few AI tools being developed by different law firms. I wonder which one will eventually become the standard.

    All these balikbayan box stories bring back memories. Many years ago, when I was a kid, we received a BB box at our house. The delivery driver was so excited for us, he was yelling in Filipino, "Balikbayan box! Balikbayan box is here!" My mom promptly told him to shut up. She was thinking about all the neighbors who would get excited and invite themselves over for ahem, "a look" at our package. 😂

    I agree, it seems OP would benefit from professional in-person help from a CPA rather than more posts from internet strangers who may or may not be qualified to give tax advice.

    Pre-pandemic, I used to buy flights through Expedia without problems. But post-pandemic, I always book directly on the airline's website. If you're buying the flights for someone else, it's prudent to give them a copy of the credit card you're going to use. Sometimes airline or immigration staff check who booked the tickets (if it's the traveler or someone else).

    A quick search says that if a foreigner has a criminal case in South Korea, there may be an exit ban applied. So even if the visa is issued, the applicant may not be able to leave the country. So I would do everything possible to resolve the criminal case first: Quote from US State Dept's South Korea info page: Passport Seizures and Exit Bans: If you are involved in a criminal investigation or commercial dispute, authorities may seize your passport and/or block your departure. While we may reissue a passport, we cannot lift an exit ban.
