IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIs my wife banned from the US until K-3 Visa given?

Attorney is an idiot. There is really no reason to get an attorney to do this papaerwork, it is very simple, just follow the advice on here.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan we be together in the states while waiting for the visa?

If I understand correct you ca direct consular file at the US consulate in the country you are residing in now, insead of mailing the I-130 to the US. This can reduce your wait from 6-12 months to 1-2 months. Check the DCF forum on this site.

Keep in mind if you are able to do DCF in Spain, your husband must reside there for at least 6 months before filing

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHusband admits during medical he smoked weed 4 years ago

Interestingly, marijuana is now legal in several states and not just medical...


But in Federal law it is a schedule 1 drug. Same level as heroin. I think it is crazy! But federal law is connected with immigration

You need the boarding passes not just itineraries. You have about the same evidence as we did and ours went fine with no RFE.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed your Skype History? (Mac User)
You don't need any app just sign into Skype. Sign up for Skype manager (free) go to your account your user name -> reports -> select month -> download -> PDF and there you have very professional looking records. You must repeat for each month

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmarried before entering on K-1
From what I understand marriage by proxy (by power of attorney) does not have a very good success rate for immigration and instead of shortening your time, my make it longer. Go there and get married and collect lots of evidence. Pics with you 2 together and family and if possible notarized statements from family members it is real marriage entered in good faith and save boarding passes, get any hotels on honeymoon etc... in both names and keep for evidence, you will need it. Boarding passes from plane trip etc..

Thanks everyone. Here is the decision we came up with:

My arrival to Egypt is scheduled on 09/22
the wedding is on 09/23
honeymoon is already reserved also


1st: We thought about me sending a specified power of attorney intended for "marriage purpose only" to someone like a relative or a friend, we are trying to convince her brother to do it. and if agrees then i will mail her the power of attorney and they get the marriage certificate done. then i cancel the K1 visa and get the new documents for CR1 ready and file as soon as i receive the translated/certified Egyptian marriage certificate. its an attempt to buy some time instead of waiting until i file after i come back to the US from the wedding in Egypt & Honeymoon.

or

2nd: If we cant find a way to get a marriage done via power of attorney. then we will just get married according to plan and i will have all the documents ready to be mailed except for the marriage certificate and i will just mail it to USCIS from Egypt while in honeymoon :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmarried before entering on K-1
Maybe she could come here and have a civil court wedding, she returns and apply for CR-1. Then go there in the future for a family wedding. That's what many people do including myself. There are many advantages to CR1 vs K! including cheaper, if it is legit it is less likely to be denied than a K! and she gets green card immediately upon arriving and does not have to adjust statud.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes age difference affect approval?

I am 15 years older than my wife and we had no problem.

It will be a problem as it is not a cultural norm for the woman to be older and you are coming from a high fraud country that is very scrutinized.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescan i request a second drug test?

There's some discussion about whether poppy seeds can trigger a false positive, as well.

 

Either way, I would think you could get a second test on your own. If it comes up negative, with such a small interval between tests, you could potentially question the validity of the first test. This is all hypothetical though. I have absolutely no clue if it could work.

 

 

Not for THC

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDenied visitor visa - considering K-1 (Nigeria)

 

Planning to get married and not having even met is probably jumping the shark just a little, especially when dealing with such a high fraud country as Nigeria.

 

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Nigeria has a reputation for visa fraud. Keep that in mind
