Hi everyone, I'm a US citizen looking to move in with my SO after I graduate next summer. I've done lots of research about this whole process, but there are still some rather confusing things that I'd like to know more about before diving in.
1. I know that the conjugal partner route is rigorous, and I've heard that they like to do full interviews with close friends family members, though I'm not sure. Is it a given that my sponsor and I will have to do an interview together at some point?
2. About how much does it take to get the medical exam done for someone in the US?
3. Is a financial paper trail necessary for me to get approved? (Things like joint accounts/possessions, etc.) I guess we could start something if it's recommended, though I have a LOT of evidence that our relationship is legitimate and long-term. Unfortunately I am still technically a dependent child because I'm a student, and neither of us own property or have life insurance policies. We often make purchases on behalf of one another and "share income" in that manner, though being financially interdependent right now is completely unnecessary.
4. I know all of the stuff takes a while to gather, so I was wondering how long you have from the time you fill out the applications, get your security check, and medical exam, before it's too late to submit it?
Thanks guys!
