I had a very similar experience. It felt GREAT! I was not worried about whatever delay it was going to take, but it was blissful!

As the parent, you have to count your children, unless very specific circumstances. (see Item 4, page 7 of 17 of the instructions) https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf "Item Number 4. Type or print the number of unmarried children you have who are under 21 years of age, even if you do not have legal custody of these children. You may exclude any unmarried children under 21 years of age, if these children have reached majority under the law of their place of domicile and you do not claim them as dependents on your Federal income tax returns." Your mom will have to include them because she is claiming them as her dependents. (see item 5, same page) "Item Number 5. Type or print the number of any other dependents. You must include each and every person whom you have claimed as a dependent on your most recent Federal income tax return, even if that person is not related to you. Even if you are not legally obligated to support that person, you must include the person if, in fact, you did support that person and claimed the person as a dependent." --- Now, when are you planning to submit these affidavits of support? Is the tax filing situation going to be the same, or different, for 2024? While I agree with @OldUser that it can seem messy, if the situation is going to be simpler by the time you file the forms and 2024 taxes, it might be ok. Hard to say without numbers.

That depends on the country where you got married. Please look up the reciprocity schedule for the location where you got married/administration issuing the certificate. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

The instructions will provide the details you are looking for. See: page 8 of 17 https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf The checklist on page 16 will also remind you of what to include. I have found that the best way to fill forms is to print them, and to print the instructions. Fill the form as your "draft", step by step, following the instructions. Then, highlight the parts were you are not sure of what is asked/how to answer, and keeping a running list of what else you will need. When you have it all, you can fill your final version. Please come back with questions and a list of everything you are planning to submit before mailing your package, members will be able to provide feedback. Best of luck!

Misunderstood. Sorry.

It sounds positive, but you won't know before she sends her passport.

Birth certificate provides more details than a passport. The parents names can be used to verify if anyone is related since in some states, you can't be married to your cousin. Marriage between cousins is not uncommon in Pakistan.

Can't she fly to the US and stay with family untill she receives her card? Beats the risk in Ecuador it seems.

Why can't she fly back? If you were in the US, she would need to visit the closest Deferred Inspection Site. Now, I would try to reach to CBP and escalate there, should @Family suggestions not work. Since you're military, you might also want to reach out to their immigration help line.

Not all locations allow co-sponsor for the I-134, you might want to search if it is available for Cuba. Will the same sponsor be available for the adjustment of status I-864?

You can request to reschedule. Another way to delay is to not do the medical before the interview, the visa will then not be issued; so going to the interview and then scheduling the medical a couple weeks later will delay the issuance of the visa. Important to note that Montreal is known to be slow to issue the visa if anything needs to be submitted after the interview, in this case your medical (not unusual for the turnaround to be around 8 weeks). The visa is usually valid for six months from the date of the medical.

If you are going with another sponsor, you will need to list the form and supporting documents twice.

Before submitting the form again, you might want to prepare a list of what to include, prepare your package, and then make a post to see if it seems complete to other members. Do not forget to include what should have been included in your response to the RFE. Triple check so you do not get a RFE this time.

If this is the babylonbee thread, then, I will just say it.... I am not a fan of Thanksgiving. I still do not get it. It has been 14 years. I am going to bake an awesome dessert, and be a nice guest. Still 😐 (also, we celebrate about 3 miles from the Plymouth Rock. My feelings have not changed)

Merci, just a little more, but I really could pass as a 29yo, thanks to @laylalex's tips!

She is pretty, I wish I could show as many teeth when I smile. Also, for you guys who don't know, this month was my birthday, and I got my Sephora gift, and my Ulta gift too!

I did the same thing. But getting out of Russia. Visa was expired for less than 24 hours... I had to pay a small fine, and get another ticket out of country [because it was a very, very, short overstay]. Their diplomatic mission (consulate or embassy) should be able to advise on how to solve this; the faster they can resolve the situation, the better (usually).

I thought a special visa was needed to marry in the UK, but maybe I am mistaken. They might also be a same-sex couple in a country were it is not allowed. Too little details to know.

Some countries will not allow the marriage of foreigners, unless they are present on a marriage visa. Without knowing where @ellrond and their partner are living, hard to know.

Even without pension, you can still add each other on your individual bank accounts. You might also want to look into having him move to your phone plan, or you joining their family plan, if only to save money. Best of luck!

What about: - Wills, living wills? - Adding each other's as beneficiaries on all accounts (pension, retirement, savings, etc.) ? - Health insurance? - Phone bills?

Some states do offer pregnancy healthcare to all, including immigrants. Not sure where you are located, but you might want to verify what is the best option for your family at this time. https://www.medicaid.gov/about-us/where-can-people-get-help-medicaid-chip/index.html

I haven't seen one in forever, but as far as I remember, K3 was a multi-entry visa expiring with an expiration date of 2ish years; some applicants really liked being able to be in the US as often as possible, and wrap up their lives abroad during that time. Had a few quirks too, such as having to interview in the country where the marriage took place (or at the diplomatic mission designated for that country). But OP will almost certainly receive a CR1/IR1, so K3 details being fuzzy isn't too important.

@Annie2024 - before making any decision, you might want to reach out to legal help in your area. A list is available here: https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/legaldirectory/

You can look up which documents are acceptable on the reciprocity schedule: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Spain.html
