lionlee216:


My bro. U got one to share?

rollykotex:

Very important. Just make sure u have them with you.

ifunanyamaka:

There are transcripts of people who have gone through this process all over related threads as well as on Visa journey. I shared mine earlier on this thread. Process is less than 2 years if your spouse is a US citizen and more than 2 years if she is a permanent resident. Mind you, less than 2 years actually means within that time frame. my process from the filing of petition to when I got my Visa took about 9 months. Here is a link of shared transcripts under CR1 category.

Will it be a red flag if you are wedding your girlfriend who is a US citizen on your first meeting in Nigeria??

AwesomeOsisindu:
No, it won't. However, i'd suggest that your spouse goes back and return to see you again. If it will be easier for you guys to meet again in another country, that would be better too.

Paccus:
what if we get married and she goes back and starts the process and comes back 1 more time to Nigeria before the interview?? Will that cover up for not meeting each other twice before marriage??

My Wife is filing for me next month. What am I to expect? How long will this spousal visa take to be approved? And when do I see myself been in the USA

Maryam3:
Good morning everyone.
Please I have a question.
Can I invite my husband to visit me while schooling in the USA? I'm a student with F1 Visa.


Any how will I go about it. Thank you

Alphamalekings:
Thanks earlier. While the petition starts can I be allowed to travel to visit my wife?

lasthero:


If you list him as f2 dependent during your f1 application, he can get I20 to join you as F2,

But if you didn't, then he will need to apply for b1/b2 tourist visa.

P. S. The consular will be more interest in wedding certificates, pictures and proofs of legal marriage more than an invitation letter

Maryam3:


Okay ma/sir thank you so much. But how soon can he apply for B1/B2?
I didn't list him as dependent

AwesomeOsisindu:



That works fine! Because, they usually ask the "how many times has she visited you" question at your interview. My experiential advice is to start preparing for the filing documents now. I was so carried away by love and forgot to prepare certain things...like joint bank signatory and several stuff that was sent to her at my address(which helps to prove co-habitation). Its very important to prove you guys are comfortable with your financials. Also have as much family as you can in photos at your wedding and also photos of fun places you visit too. Its mostly proving that the marriage is legit that matters. Read a bunch of articles that will help. Check boundless.com and visajourney.com for some more info.

emmybernard:
Why is joint bank signatory necessary, would they ask you for that ?

LegitBachelor:
Joint Bank Account is not a compulsory requirement but it helps in proving one's case that the marriage is genuine.
