For some, 8 months is how long it takes to get the advance parole... Ajustment of status has the benefit of being together, but otherwise a lots of downsides. Just make sure you both realize that.

"Many things have changed regarding the visa selection and process" Most things are exactly the same, just longer delays. If her son is not the son of her late husband, she will need permission/documented agreement to leave the country with him. ... Marrying before meeting each other is a bad idea. Utah Zoom marriage is also feasible after meeting, when you're together. How long are you planning to visit them? .... The state where you reside has, usually, zero effect on the duration of the process. "Which embassy is moving fastest?" is also not relevant, unless she has multiple citizenships, or she currently lives abroad [from your post, I understand that she's a Brazilian, living in Brazil. Is that correct?]

Did you ever file for your fiancée from the Philippines, or only for your Ukrainian wife?

Great news!

The waiver might, or might not, be successful. You need to discuss with your fiancée where you are going to live together if you can't immigrate, develop a plan B; this would be the consequence of your own actions.

You have an enrollment period/life change event as a new immigrant - I hope you didn't wait too long, that would be a shame. When did she enter with her visa for the first time? Otherwise, just reach out to insurance companies directly.

Is there another page? They do not believe you are in a bona fide relationship.

Not that I am aware of - you can email them in a few weeks and ask about the status of your file.

Ok, you do you.

Why do you need their passports to upload documents online? That's the part @Family and myself are questioning.

Why do you think this is necessary? As others have said, just do it now.

When are you planning to submit the corrected forms?

I do not agree, just quoted the source that pleas are how it's handled.

https://www.npr.org/2023/02/22/1158356619/plea-bargains-criminal-cases-justice It is just how it is done in the US, pleas for almost all.

OP is the one saying "strongest". No one said it was worthless, just not the strongest.

Did you fill the affidavits of support correctly though? Nothing is getting approved until you do that...

Same. Approved without interview. If children were the "strongest" evidence, then we would see a trend of problematic situation for people without them. Which we don't. It's just one evidence of the relationship, among many others.

What name did you write in part 2? For your wife, if must have been her name - she has been approved. Then for child 1, CHILD1 NAME, then for child 2, CHILD2 name. Each of them is an independent immigrant and they need their own affidavit of support. @pushbrk might be able to explain it more concisely, but I think the refusal might be because you missed some of the instructions, and filled the form improperly.

Six to 8 weeks is not uncommon for Montreal.

You can also keep a copy of your package in a secure location, should you ever encounter a check point/be detained, your spouse can show them you have already filed to adjust your status. Where are you located? The probabilities of such an encounter vary greatly depending on your location/activity.

Answer: In general, NO. Having a child can be good evidence, but for most it is just one piece, among others. Can also be terrible evidence (the worst?) if one of the spouse has a child with someone outside their marriage (it has happened, many times). If there is no cohabitation, financial support or comingling, the baby will not do miracles. What is your opinion @Sam213141, where did you learn that it would be "the strongest" evidence?

Yeah... It's not that uncommon to abandon children in a divorce. Some "parents" never seek custody, or visitation. You can look up the Effects of family changes forum, some stories are heartbreaking, and, some people really made babies to "fabricate" evidence. I agree that it's the totality of evidence that matters. Scammers are going to scam, but normal couples will still have plenty of evidence to demonstrate how they live their marital lives.

What about American women marrying foreign men? Is it only because they didn't have the chance to meet you?

Don't diss open relationships, it's a good get rich scheme. Nothing to do with lust, nor love - I've been educated women do not care about those things.

What makes you think the airline will accept your expired document? Where are you currently?
