There is no way for an American to marry I like American culture very much I really like American Girls Madam please help me❤
Some guy who’s rlly looking forward to taking me on a date, he’s from Argentina and he came here yesterday. The person who ask him questions while going through customs to let them enter the US called him “Suspicious” “because of how we travels here so quickly” and was completely rude as well. even though Gabriel travels a lot for work, and then told him he can only stay here for a month and after that he would need to be married to a United States citizens to come back. But I did mention he could probably get dual citizenship to him, cause all he can do now is see I he can hopefully get more time to stay in the IS for. ☹️
The text missed the "halfadavit" joke.

Hi, Megan! I'm Andrew. I've commented on many of your previous videos. I appreciate your videos. As it relates to this subject ... since consummation is something typically done in private ... how would a couple satisfy that requirement should they choose to go this route?

Watching from Thailand I have tourist visa. This one is a second tourist visa for me but my second tourist vis will be expired in October 2025. I always used my visa to visit the Us for short periods of time. I just got married with my husband in May this year. He is a greencard holder. I have a question to ask you should i re apply my new tourist visa before or after expired. Because i am afraid the embassy wont give me new visa and cancel my old visa too. Now i am confused. Please advise.I am long distance relationship too. I knew my bf for 17 years before we got married. Now we dont file for marriage visa yet because i dont get marriage certificate yer. I got married in California now i am back in my country. Thank you so much.
Your question would require speaking with one of our immigration attorneys to help you decide which strategy would work best. We strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced immigration attorney to discuss your specific circumstances, address any questions or concerns you may have, and carefully evaluate the best way forward for your case.

@@immigrationforcouples7362 thank you so much
Case Tracker is lot easier to use. With just one click you can see all your cases and the status of each. With USCIS you have to login every single time and put in a security code each time etc. It's a hassle. The app has ads since the development of the app cost something but if you don't like the ads, you can pay small fee and they remove them. It is not true you have to pay for the app to use it.
Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is qualified. In order to be a qualified sponsor, the petitioning sponsor's Form I-864 must be properly completed and signed, and the supporting documents must establish that the petitioning sponsor's income meets 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for the sponsor’s household size. See Form I-864P for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. If the petitioning sponsor's income does not meet 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for their household size, you must obtain a qualifying joint sponsor who demonstrates the ability to support you or submit evidence of assets. See Form I-864 Instructions for more information. I received this RFE. But we already send all that we think needed as evidence.

Dear, i applied for H1b visa and my petition is returned back to USCIS as per mail received from Consulate. After Law suit, my lawyer sent me the Affirmation Notice received from USCIS and as per the notice, my case sent back to the state department. This notice states that "What the Official Notice Said This is to advise you that we have reaffirmed our previous decision on the above application or petition which the Department of State had previously returned for review. We have forwarded the case back to the Department of State for action." I sent this notice to consulate by email but no reply from consulate. I am confused whether should i wait for the email from embassy or i need to take appointment again with Embassy/consulate. Please guide with next step and possibility to get the visa.

After they pass thier interview, do they need to pay a fee before they come here in USA and how long do they have to enter the country after they pass the interview
I don’t think there’s any fee in South Africa. They have six months to enter the US
