    OK, so none of those could sponsor you anyway which helps. Might as well give it a go - if you do, report back and let us know how you get on. Best of luck.

    From the I-864 page - "Your household size includes you, your dependents, any relatives living with you, and the immigrants you are sponsoring" And more info here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html#aos6 Good luck.

    The baby will definitely help. But what else can you provide, it doesn’t have to be bank accounts - things like wills naming each other as beneficiaries, life insurance (ditto), both names on utility bills, and as @OldUser said, the obvious one is medical insurance with her as your spouse.

    You never know, but if your wife has been requested to go for an interview, that’s not likely. You’ll need much stronger evidence than just photos.

    Chances are slim unfortunately, something like a 60% refusal rate for El Savador. Which family members in the US? Any that could potentially petition you or not? It’s up to you if you give it a go, if you can afford the fee then you may as well. But if you only want to transit via the US, you could just apply for a C visa.

    Just to say, not necessarily. For most it takes longer, DRO is the only person I know who’s got an IL before their PD is current. So it could be this month, but assume next and then you won’t be disappointed.

    Definitely transfer to London if you’re resident there. As Nigeria could have restrictions implemented under Trump, you need to try and get your visa asap (you’d still be subject to those if as a Nigerian citizen but you might just beat it as London is so much quicker). But what’s your Priority Date? Please fill in your timeline.

    Please fill in your timeline, thanks. And good luck for the interview.

    68 days isn’t actually that long for AP, it can take months or even years in other countries. It just seems longer for London as most are resolved more quickly. Are you by any chance from a more high risk country originally, or have links to one (i.e. Pakistan, Iran, Nigeria)? Please fill in your timeline, thx.

    Your endorsed visa works as a green card for the first year anyway, there’s no rush.
  11. appleblossom
    Ok, so 90 days from 15th Jan. Still a month or so to go until 90 days, hopefully won’t be too much longer.

    What a peculiar way of looking at it. So you say above 'It is an extremely healthy relationship that will lead to a lasting marriage. I feel blessed each and every day’, yet you’d give that up just in case you waste a K-1 application on this person?! Most people would do whatever they could to be with the person they love, which may well include going to live in their country instead if they couldn’t be together in the US for some reason. They certainly wouldn’t be worrying about not being able to petition another person further down the line!
  13. appleblossom
    What kind of visa?
  14. appleblossom
    When did you pay the fee? It’s up to 90 days from entry or fee payment, whichever was later. So you’re still well within the quoted time. And what does your online status say for it?
  15. appleblossom
    What does the tracking say? As said above, the endorsed visa does everything the plastic GC does, they don’t need the physical card.
  16. appleblossom
    Presumably not the person that told you not to file the AR-11 then? Because whoever that was is most certainly NOT ‘super competent’! As @OldUser said, that’s a deportable offence, also punishable by imprisonment or a fine. You need to file that asap.

    Why would she even want to? It doesn’t give them any right to stay, and will cost them a small fortune for her to give birth in the US (potentially a large fortune if there are any complications). It also means their poor child is subject to US taxes for the rest of their life without making that choice, and if a boy, has to register for selective service too.

    That’s what I meant - I’m a Brit! Just made me realise that the American spelling seems normal to me now after nearly 2 years (although it probably helps that I hadn’t used a cheque in the UK for about 15 years….be prepared to travel back in time in terms of banking, it’s like 1998 here 😂).
  19. appleblossom
    Your bank should be able to tell you. But if you know it’s been received then that’s good, the clock has started ticking. P.S. It seems I’ve now been in the US for long enough for ‘cheque’ to look wrong to me. 😂
  20. appleblossom
    Only if that’s the main reason for the visit and long term, then yes, as that is not consistent with a tourist visa. If it’s a couple of days looking after a parent if they come down with something after one arrives, then that’s different. Essentially, if it is a job that an American could be paid to do i.e. providing full-time care for an aging parent, or full-time child care for a grandchild whilst the parents work, then immigration are likely to take a dim view of that.

    Yes, EB1A doesn’t need a job offer, it’s self petitioned. EB1C is different as it’s employer based.
  22. appleblossom
    Which consulate? Please fill in your timeline. You could have an interview in May. But yes, should be ok depending on when you were last in the US?
  23. appleblossom
    Yes, mailing only. Your letter should tell you to mail it and have the address to send the docs to. And no, no AoS required. Most of that isn’t relevant to EB applicants. You’ll need a recent job offer letter from your employer at interview stage. PLEASE fill in your timeline! This forum only works if we all take the time to contribute, filling in your timeline is an easy way to help others going forwards and to thank those that have helped you in the past too.

    😳 I did read it carefully and simply provided the wording to the OP that they seemed to have missed. I gave them the info about certificates, and it’s up to them what they need to provide from that.

    If she said she was taking care of her Mom, that would be the evidence. She cannot do that as a visitor. I suspect that’s what happened. But in any event, she has no right to enter as a visitor and can be refused without evidence. You still haven’t said if her immigrant visa has actually been denied, or refused (i.e. is in AP)?
