    There is no need to wait six months after your marriage to file; you can file as soon as you are married/have all the required documents ready.

    I think OP would like to know if there's anything on the brother's criminal record, from the time they had a mental health crisis. It's a valid concern. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/canadians-mental-health-info-routinely-shared-with-fbi-u-s-customs-1.2609159 Obviously, a new criminal check will be required for the interview, if they decide to immigrate one day.

    Look up to m which police certificate is required here: https://travel.state.g okov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

    I'm sorry, this makes no sense. You, Kanke, could have gotten married online today (look up Utah Zoom Marriage), and be married. How a municipality anywhere else in the world would even know that? It's not clear if this thread was about a real, or hypothetical situation, but the only thing I know for certain is that some people DO misrepresent their marital status, and, when they do get caught, it seems that they're stuck in an inextricable situation (trying to prove that they were, in fact, never married). I've never seen a positive resolution of such situation. Don't lie, don't misrepresent the facts, provide any document requested by USCIS, or the consulate/embassy.

    You will need the marriage certificate too, that can take a while in some locations. Then, you need to see each other after the marriage, so it is "consummated" for immigration purpose (nothing more than being together in the same location is required for the consummation to happen).

    One reason might be that people adjusting status are not yet permanent residents. People filing to remove conditions are permanent residents, before, and during, and, for most of them, after removing conditions - it is mostly an administrative annoyance, but does not prevent you to file for citizenship, work, live.
  8. Lemonslice
    As soon as you've been physically together after the marriage (should you do a proxy or virtual one)
  9. Lemonslice
    It's not because the embassy isn't open to the public that some employees might not be catching up on work for whatever reasons (I know I've done it, in a similar work place). No need to analyze that deep, just wait on the approval.
  10. Lemonslice
    You can look at the guides, the USCIS instructions, and the reciprocity schedule, to see which documents would be needed.

    Anyone that could lend you the money? Any job that you, or them, could take this summer? A small extra effort now might be worth it, if you all get citizenship at once?

    K3 process had you interview where you got married, but it had been pretty much obsolete for years. This thread might help you figure out where Russian beneficiaries are interviewing these days Best of luck!

    That is scary 😕

    You could still have the most romantic celebration later. Or be the most romantic husband forever. 15 years here and I'm still getting breakfast in bed every weekend...

    I agree, however, ultimately, I think it's on the LPR to know what's allowed. I understand that in most couples/families, someone is better at handling paperwork, but it's a disservice to not keep the others (let's say after childhood age) in the loop about pretty much everything regarding their status. Should something happen (emergency, loss of documents, etc.), their own status, and the next steps, are essential things to know.

    You could marry online and do a shorter visit to meet in person and be able to file. Big wedding celebration later. Having a green card on arrival is a huge plus.
  17. Lemonslice
    You don't mention anything. She can answer questions truthfully, if asked. Bring away 5 months is nothing special. Unless she took residence abroad, it's just a trip.
  18. Lemonslice
    What is the expiration date on his card? I am asking because very old cards do not have expiration dates. He would still, most certainly, have abandoned his status by now.
  19. Lemonslice
    I'm not sure what you mean by self sabotage? But yes, all agree to file as promptly as possible.
  20. Lemonslice
    No need to commit a crime to be detained, just driving across a checkpoint, or having your status verified in some jurisdictions, is enough. I mean, citizens have been detained, so having no status/documentation of legal status, really puts the immigrant at risk of mistreatment, even more so if they are women. I would do everything to file as soon as possible and avoid the risk of seeing my loved one detained.

    Any passport for the medical, it doesn't matter. Renewed passport will also save you the struggle of renewing from abroad. Police records, I think it's 2 years, just double check here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html

    The scam can also be to get the money and not marry/not file for any immigration benefits. I think it's more common, since it's easier to repeat multiple times. Great report a couple years back with cases from another country - with dowry involved, it was a great money making scheme, as far as illegal activities go (low risk, high reward).
  23. Lemonslice
    Certainly apply for a new passport. Copy all pages of the old one, in case you need to refer to it in the future - you can present the new one at the interview/send it in after approval, if not ready by interview.

    Reminded me of this pizza story: https://www.vice.com/en/article/xymp77/the-dark-side-of-the-pie-heroin-mob-cheese-and-new-york-pizza

    Well, just travel to that state then, no? Also, as I have written before, it might be easier to delay the process, than the get an expedite. You do you. Best of luck to you and your family. ETA: I hope it is a state with an international airport, or are you allowed to do a stopover in another state?
