Immigration Proceedings

[rokkefella 0]

Hi guys,

I've recently discovered this board and I must say; Thank God! We would be lost without it.

I have a question regarding the I-130 Nr. 16. What exactly is meant by "Has your relative ever been under immigration proceedings?"

"My relative" has lived in the US for 13 years previously on H-1B and F-1 and had filed for a Greencard (never got past filing for an I-130) before we decided to move to Switzerland 3 years ago. Does this qualify for "immigration proceedings"?

Btw. we're planning on doing DCF in Bern.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Nope Immigration proceedings are court actions, things like removal, deportation, etc.

Your main thing is to establish domicle in the US and quaify for the financial part [co sponsor?].

Having the most recent ITRs or a statement with valid reason why you don't have them comes next.

Proof of your residentcy in Switzerland is important also.

DCFs are easy. If you have been married for 2+years you/he will get a IR-1 10 year GC in the mail shortly after arriving in the US. SS card also.
