I’m asking for others that ask and I don’t want to give wrong information. In my personal situation, I did a k1 back in 2019 before COVID, and it became a nightmare of a wait and obstacles to overcome. I became very familiar with USCIS page and requirements to get her here with only my assets. At the time nobody was saying it could be done or even an option. And most people were in a bad spot to be a sponsor because lack of work. But since she arrived, we’ve traveled the country, (NOT as YouTubers, I don’t got it like that) in a Semi, while I thought her how to become a broker/dispatcher. We did ok for our first venture, but it got old fast when the trucking industry started crashing. We came home and she got a job at a factory even though I’m against it, she likes her independency and says she’s not here to be a full-time housewife. If only others would think like her !!!! I have to admit for about 30 yrs now, I have been content and taking it easy with my investment being my main source of income, now it seems I have to step up my game once again.
Back to the comment: I do appreciate the info, and while I do know these loopholes do work for the most part, I also know that it doesn’t stop the government from enforcing the law at any given time! Even if at first it may look like you’re getting away with it. This means back fines, court hearings, and Fraudulent acts committed. One thing I have learned in my 40yrs in this wonderful Country is, pick your battles with government officials wisely, and don’t try to play the IRS! Both can get you time in prison. Besides, at the time the person goes to change their status, you really think USCIS will not check if they committed fraud by applying for help? So even if they don’t get it, it’s on record that they applied for it, and that could cost them the status they were trying to obtain.
Good luck,
