I-485 Marriage Based - Interview Experience Miami Field Office

Replied to: K1 Fiance Visa Timeline - Embassy Interview Done!

Great detailed timeline! The K1 route is faster than CR1 spouse visa in many cases, but you have to get married within 90 days. Planning a wedding in 90 days sounds stressful! Good luck!

Replied to: I-130 for Spouse - NVC Stage Questions

NVC stage can be confusing! Here's what helped us: 1. Create CEAC account immediately 2. Pay fees as soon as invoice is available 3. Submit DS-260 carefully - it's hard to change later 4. Scan documents clearly and label them properly 5. I-864 needs petitioner's tax returns, W2s, and employment letter Ciudad Juarez wait times vary. I've seen 6-9 months for interview after DQ recently. Check forums for current wait times. Hang in there! The separation is the hardest part.

@juan_k1_fiance They didn't ask us about finances during the interview itself - they reviewed the I-864 affidavit separately. As long as you meet the 125% poverty guideline, you should be fine. You can also use a joint sponsor if needed.

Replied to: Marriage Green Card - Documents That Helped Our Case

This is gold! Saving this post. We're about to file our I-485 and I was worried about not having joint property. Good to know that's not a dealbreaker. Quick question - did you include the affidavits with your initial filing or bring them to the interview?
