  1. If I remember correctly, they not only ask for W2's (I think we had to send in 3 years worth, plus a letter from his job), but also provide information on assets. Perhaps she either got a sponsor, or the assets (cash from the show) was enough? One thing I never thought of until last night was - How did Yamir get sponsored? It didn't seem like Chelsea had a job. Unless her parents helped? That seems like a foolish thing to do, considering you are legally responsible for the person for 10 years, regardless if they stay married or not.
  2. Yup. They won't even send out the letter to you, that states your assigned immigration # and confirmation of when they received your package until the check clears. A LOT of people don't pay attention to the correct fees either, and they reject the entire package. Not true. Just because you have an interview, doesn't mean that you will be separated. Usually people who are separated are people who go in for a second interview, and who have questionable things flagged. (no assets together, limited photos of them, not living together ect..) At the interview they: 1. Confirm your answers on the application 2. Confirm your spouses answers 3. Offer you a chance to provide additional evidence They may also ask you to explain or confirm things, and ask question about your relationship if they're not satisfied with what you have submitted already. My time from when they called my name, until I walked out of the USCIS office: 9 minutes. Everyone still has to go through the same process, some people just get flagged for RFE's (requests for evidence, where they have 30 days to provide additional information, data ect... to help prove their case. If they ignore it, the case is denied and they lose the money they submitted.)
  3. My understanding is that they would still have to wait the two years, but when the non-US citizen removed conditions they don't need the US citizen anymore to do it. The greencard holder would have to be able to prove the marriage was entered into good faith ect.. however. For regular removal of conditions, you send in 2 years worth of evidence to prove you have a relationship, co-mingling of assets ect.. Canadian passports are dark blue, very similar looking to the US one.
  4. Once he's in the US, and they are applying for his greencard (called a 485), they have to prove their relationship. This would involve affadvits from friends/family showing that they have a real relationship, are together ect..., they also have to send in evidence that shows the "co-mingling" of assets. I sent in things such as joint bank accounts, leases, my name on health insurance, and life insurance policy. Having them live separately would put a huge red flag, and I'm not even sure they would ever be approved. They would significantly question at his interview as to why they weren't living together. Hope that helps a bit :)
  5. Not 100% true. You can apply for advance parole, which allows you to depart and re-enter the US during the immigration process. I'm not sure if there is a time limit on it, but I know if you get it you can leave. It usually gets processed with the work permit.
  6. Follow up to my last post I started thinking about if based on current processing timelines, it would be possible for Mo to have been approved. On Visa Journey, they have monthly posts where people track their progress through it. August filers - been approved for their work permits for the most part, a few even full greencards September filers - some approved for work permit, but not many. So really, Mo might still be waiting for work permit + the interview date (They give you 30 days notice), and might not even get an interview date until the new year. I still don't understand how she'll be able to overcome the sponsorship hurdle, unless she got some idiot to co-sign. You have to bring more evidence to your interview with you about your relationship. Also if he was asked to sign a lease, I might assume he has a work permit/ssn? - You can't (at least where I am) be on the lease without it. At least I wasn't allowed until I was granted a SSN that I could provide.
  7. Interesting. It looks as if they have applied for his Adjustment of Status according to Visa Journey. When I did it, it was 45 days from when I applied until my work visa got approved, and just under 90 days before I had my interview. I got approved on the spot at it. It can take up to a year for it to be approved sometimes, depending how busy they are, or if they have to request more evidence. If she didn't send enough in to "prove" the relationship, then she has 30 day to send more in, or automatic denial. Also interesting is that this shows him asking him the Affidavit of support as of August 24th, which means it could not have been sent until sometime shortly after that?
  8. Yup. They even ask the sponsor (your spouse or whoever) at the interview for adjustment if they understand that they are willing to take on. I'm pretty sure as well, that he ACTUALLY wouldn't need her to remove conditions on his card (because they're married under 2 years, his card is only granted for 2 years, after that he can remove conditions and apply for the 10 year card). If he can prove he put effort in, and it still didn't work, I believe he can apply for the 10 year card without her help. That being said, she can have as many co-sponsors as she wants, so she could try and gather up all her friends/family to do it.
  9. I just found this post- some hilarious stuff coming out of it! I wanted to write a bit about the K1 adjustment of status Dani and Mo would have to do. I did it myself, and it's pretty involved. (I'm Canadian, he's American....) After they're married, they're suppose to apply for it right away, or he could face deportation. If she DID apply for it, he would be granted a 1 year extension I believe while it's processed. He cannot leave the country however, without a travel document, or the application is considered cancelled, and she would have to start the K1 process all over again. Besides regular forms, here are some key things she would have difficulty with: 1. The payment - which is now $1070 2. Medical Exam - Despite that he probably did one before he came over, if it's been a year since that happened, she'll have to pay for a new one, which can easily be $500 (I paid $400). It has to be done with government approved doctors. 3. Affidavit of Support - Even if she has the $$ in the bank showing she could support him, AND met poverty limits, she would still have to send in a letter from her employer showing how long you've worked there, I think 6+ months of pay stubs? (it might have been more, I forget), and 3 years of tax returns. If she's not consistent with her income, there is no way in heck that they would get approved. 4. Travel document fee - He can actually travel outside the country once this is approved while the application is pending. Even if she some how managed to get this approved, because they've been married for less than 2 years, she would have to re-file in 2 years. This is only considered a temporary card. Once the 2 year anniversary of their approval goes through, then she would file for removal of conditions. They have to prove income again, as well as their relationship (photos, shared bank accounts ect.. ) - basically show they've established a life together. Cost of removal = $590 I doubt even if they are together now, that it will last. I'm pretty skeptical they are, and I can't wait to see if he replies to anyone who messaged him.
