    So not actually a tie then, she can do that from anywhere in the world. I'd leave it and apply again if her circumstances change.

    But YOU changed your name after marriage? So that is your legal name. You don’t need to have officially changed it in any way. I changed my name after marriage, never went through any legal process to do so. Just started calling myself by my new name and provided my marriage certificate as proof of the change (for passport, bank account etc). Which it did.

    I agree with @Boiler, I’d be getting a lawyer given the current climate. You’ve not said which country you’re from originally? If it’s a high fraud one a lawyer may be even more vital. The UK travel is useful in proving you didn’t intend to AoS but only if it wasn’t fully refundable. A cynical immi officer might think you’d booked hotels exactly for that reason! Did you apply for the B visa before the pause was announced? That would be better proof than the UK plans IMO - again a cynical officer might think you’d applied for a B visa as soon as the pause was announced to circumvent it.

    That bit is for self employed, but I think the OP is at the NVC stage according to his/her profile. So these would be the relevant instructions https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents.html But agreed, transcripts would be better, and probably worth waiting for.
  21. appleblossom
    Personally, I’d just wait for the transcript to become available for download. If you’ve filed recently then hopefully it won’t be long. But if not then yes, follow the instructions carefully and submit just the actual return. Good luck.

    I’m not sure what you mean by ‘matriarchal duties’ are but unless they’re for young children that she’d be leaving behind, that’s not a tie. Neither are revenue sources. Only the family business is a tie but what do you mean by ‘overseeing’? Is she actually running the business day to day? If she was only refused last month then reapplying again isn’t going to help. Unless anything’s changed with her circumstances then it’ll be refused again and she’ll look even more desperate. When was the first application? I’d leave it at least a year, and as @TBoneTX said, get her to visit other countries before applying again. In the meantime, you visit her. Good luck.

    I-130’s are processed by USCIS (who have nothing to do with visitor visas).

    If he can afford to immigrate to the US, surely he can also afford to pay the fee to avoid conscription in Turkey? I agree he's not likely to qualify for asylum if those are his only grounds, the question will be where is he in a couple of years when it actually comes to the interview.

    Don't send it again! If you know it got there this time then it's just a case of waiting for it to be either be accepted or rejected. Did you do the G-1145 form as well so you get a text when it's accepted?
  30. appleblossom
    Ah. Quite a few I believe, although it's odd that they haven't taken payment. Did you do the G-1145?
  31. appleblossom
    What does tracking say for the first package? At least you know the second got there, I think you're just expecting things too early, it can take several weeks to get NOA1 so I'm sure you'll get it soon. Good luck.
  32. appleblossom
    Sounds like the first one never got there. What does tracking say for that one and which address did they get sent to? How did you pay the fees and how much?
  33. appleblossom
    Are you sure? Plenty of posts in the K-1 forum saying the opposite, and info on the internet. https://www.sglegalgroup.com/blog/the-immigrant-visa-pause-and-the-k-1-solution-why-fiances-can-still-move-forward It seems this is a rare instance of the k-1 being a superior visa choice at the moment!
  34. appleblossom
    Why not have a look at the form and see if you think you’d be happy completing it yourself? I’ve not applied for citizenship but from what I’ve read on the forum it’s the easiest part of the whole process, and very few use a lawyer to do it. Unless there’s some complication you’ve not mentioned, I’d save your money and do it yourself (with the excellent help on VJ of course!).
  35. appleblossom
    Then I’ll move the thread to the Family of USC’s sub-forum as it’s not a spouse visa. Good luck.
