Got my Employment Authorization Card by mail today. This is about 18weeks after I mailed off my Adjustment of Status to the USCIS.

Hello everyone. So my question today is:

Will having a traditional wedding disqualify is from getting the K1 Visa? My parents are insisting on a traditional wedding since they won’t be available for the white wedding when we eventually go to the US. So can we have a small traditional ceremony to make up for that. What will be the result of that? Does the embassy regard traditional wedding as being married?

Drenimarcus:
Hey guys, just an update, my I-145(aos) was updated today and it was approved without any interview.

K-1 Journey ends, Citizenship journey starts.

Goodluck guys!

Well.....i don't know of anyone (on Nairaland and even visajourney) that wrote what I wrote and was denied.

The person I remember was denied on Nairaland specifically selected 'I do not intend' and that was clearly the reason the fellow was denied.

sharpman1:
Abeg don't listen to that ignorant fellow that likes jumping on questions that he does not understand or have answers to.

So.........when i filled mine, i did not tick any of the boxes. However, i went to Part 7 and wrote the following in the additional information (See attached file). I got the idea from visa journey.

Now, I am not saying you should not tick the "intend" to box. Hopefully, others that actually filled the form and did not have any issues will tell you what they did.

I have tried to convince her to come back to Nigeria before the lockdown, but she said she would never step out of the country until she gets her Pali. She said she has no business in Nigeria and even if her mum dies before she gets her Pali, she would not move an inch.

I have honestly tried almost everything. I have begged for peace, prostrated, cried, moved out, moved back in when I was piling up more debt, called pastor and his wife who have now given up on her case due to her non-compliance with spiritual advice. I have made multiple attempts to sit her down to have a heart to heart, but it's always the same roadblock. She sees me like some piece of shit that doesn't deserve her. I have seen some chats where she was talking to family and friends about how she plans to divorce me and re-marry here once she gains her grounds.

Update on my US journey.

I went to the Social Security Administration to remove the restriction on my Social Security Card. The only document I showed them was my greencard. I also filled the SS5 form which is available within the SSA building. I got there by 8:45am. They attended to me exactly 9am and I left there at 9:05am. I'm told the New Card will get to me in 7 to 10 days time.

I have gotten my greencard guys. I give God all the praise. It took 8 months to get my greencard. I had thought it'll take more than a year going by the history of approvals for Dallas, Texas.

The documents I submitted for greencard application were: filled i485 form, certified marriage certificate, birth certificate, NPC Attestation of Birth, NOAs received for i129F, Fiancee Visa, Data Page of International Passport, i94, Marriage Pictures, Joint Bank Account, Life Insurance, Copy of DS3025, copy of immunization card, Evidence of Residence, my wife's evidence of US citizenship, my wife's tax returns, my wife's paystubs, my wife's W2s, my wife's employment letter, etc. I didn't get any RFEs.

Got the interview notice after 7 months. The interview notice is usually given a month before the scheduled date.. and my wife went for the interview. We went with a copy of all the documents we had submitted earlier. We also went with new pictures and new tax documents. The interview was very fast. We were even called in before the time. Was asked questions on dates. Was also asked on how we met. Was a very informal interview...lots of jokes and chats. He told us he will approve our petition. I got my greencard 6 days after.

Drenimarcus:
Honestly just check vj guides or use vj search bar, use poe and then your state on the search bar.

JWTheocracy1:
Hey folks, who can help me search for a cheap ticket for 2nd of February... preferably Emirates or KLM. Final destination is Charlotte NC. Be it one way or round trip is ok... but if the latter, the return date should be 6th of April.

efozee:
I got approved today. The interview was so strange. Just one question asked. Visa approved!!! Glory be to God.

Study4life:

Glorioussugar:
How will We go to court and get a divorce certificate when we were not married. We are getting married this month in Nigeria. I mentioned we should get an immigration lawyer and then file for spousal visa but he said the lawyer might not really be able to do anything since it’s already in the system. And there was no marriage . He’s also thinking of relocating to Nigeria. I really don’t know what he’ll be doing if he relocats to Nigeria. My ex is married now. And lives in Canada with his family. I don’t know if immigration Lawyer can help at this point

Drenimarcus:
True but it also sometimes depends on the usc job too. CNAs and RNs rarely have that time .

Beautyaddy:
Hmmmm....very unfortunate this happened to you.

BTW, do you and your ex-boyfriend have kids together?



And your response with the highlighted statement...I hope it didn't also count against you.
