@Ontarkie What is your main problem with the litter? Is it that the volume of litter does not last long enough (scooping it out and all), or that the odours are not well controlled? Here, both cats insist on using the same box and no matter what, I need to top it up eventually, and then change the whole thing when it is not "fresh" anymore. The little beasts tonight 🥰

The good thing is that for such a short period, if they don't get their visas, it is possible to hire a nanny for support and assistance. Is your employer providing you with some leave also? Grand-parents can then grandparent later, when they are able to come.

For the reasons you have listed, among others, it is not uncommon for the American citizen to move back to the US before their spouse.

I know of at least one exception to the bolded part: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/transit/without-visa/china-transit-eligibility.html

What exact steps have you done since you posted a similar question back in March? Your wife has been out of status for so long, you really have to get on top of it. Get it done this week, for the love of her.

Use your driver's license/State ID and SSN card. Read the i-9 instructions for possible combination. better not to show it anywhere - in my experience, it is better to keep your immigration process to yourself, without ever pretending to be a citizen - just state that you are a Permanent Resident. Show only what is required, when necessary. Less is usually better.

As others have told you, there is no VAWA dispute. If you have evidence of fraudulent activity, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of this page: VisaJourney.com recommends that if any member or user knows directly of someone involved in fraudulent or illegal activity, that they report such activity directly to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. You can contact ICE via email at Immigration.Reply@dhs.gov or you can telephone ICE at 1-866-347-2423

Acrobat free works fine for most... What's not working now?

Will be easier to use a computer than a tablet. I strongly suggest you try to use a computer instead. Public libraries are good resources, if you do not have your own at home.

Employers are not supposed to reverify. This thread, on the EAD card, has many references on actions you can take if your employers isn't clear on the rules. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/551366-discrimination-ead-card/

Congratulations on your recent marriage! A few answers: #4) To continue from question #2, the next question is “What is the country of issuance for the beneficiary’s Passport or Travel Document?” I’m guessing this is the United States correct? Or would it be Canada? Her passport has probably been issued by India. #8) So I’m in the Texas, United States, she’s in Toronto, Canada. I’m guessing we’d go with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate location since she’s outside of the United States correct? If so, I googled embassies/consulates and I typed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for that section. All interviews for spousal visas take place at the Consulate in Montreal, Quebec . #10) The biggest question of all, it is now asking to upload proof of marriage. So we don’t live together, don’t have any joint ownership of property, bank accounts/financial resources commingled, etc. Our marriage is legit, 100%. Other ideas: You can already add each other as beneficiaries to financial accounts (banking, retirement, insurance, etc.); most credit card providers will also let you add your spouse as an authorized user. Wills/living wills are also good documents to have, for immigration, but more importantly, in life.

It is not that the country itself is inferior, or superior; it has to do with the history of behaviors from applicants, and in some cases, the country's recordkeeping capabilities. Pretending that all things are equal from a location to another is a disservice to applicants. For example, the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria has a full section dedicated to Scams: https://ng.usembassy.gov/scams/ The FBI even made a podcast about the romance scams: https://www.fbi.gov/audio-repository/news-podcasts-thisweek-african-romance-scams.mp3/view For comparison, you can visit the Fraud section on the U.S. Embassy in Canada website: https://ca.usembassy.gov/visas/report-fraud/ Illegal activities happen in each and every country, but some scams are much more frequent in some locations. Do what you want with this information, but do not be naïve and think that the local diplomatic missions are blind to what is going on. With that, I hope that all legitimate couples can be reunited as quickly as feasible. It can be hard to be apart.

You can call your insurance and ask for a quote for a short-term plan to cover your spouse-to-be. Then you can call Blue Cross, Aetna, United, etc. and compare the quotes. It won't be cheap, but you might only need it for a few days until you get married/add your spouse to your plan.

You can usually scan a multiple pages document by changing the settings of your scanner/software you use to scan. Alternatively, you can merge documents.

Well, you seem confident, good luck to you both. Please come back to update us.

Was she able to visit since your last interview?

What would she gain by signing?

Is your wife going to be with you for the second interview?

You might also want to add: Wills/living wills. Beneficiary information on financial accounts (bank accounts, IRA, 401k, etc.).

It's not uncommon for the visa to be issued after the two year anniversary. Most people do not send they application the day they get married, so that little time period+current processing time=over 2 years since the wedding day.

With the current processing times, you might not have a choice.

The permanent resident will have to remove conditions before their 2-year card expires, the "wedding anniversary" date will not really matter in this process (but evidence covering the duration of the marriage should still be sent). Full details here: ETA: If at all possible, it is not a bad idea to delay entry after the second wedding anniversary.
