Eligibility, evidence of bona fide relationship, consular interview practice, and the 90-day marriage and adjustment timeline after entry.
Filing a K-1 two weeks after a divorce invites suspicion: why freedom to marry is a central issue, and why visits during a prior marriage may not help the case.
A K-1 spouse is being left undocumented because vaccines cost $900. File the I-485 anyway; most post-K-1 green cards clear without the extra shots.
A NOID for overstay only sticks if unlawful presence passed 180 days. One K-1 adjustment applicant's math came out to five months, short of any bar.
How much time together before filing a K-1 or CR-1? One three-day visit is a sure denial. The fix: two to three week-long trips before filing.
Refiling a K-1 after an abandoned interview works — but close the old case with the State Department and pull a FOIA before the new petition goes in.
