illegal family

[joe_robin66 6]

um because their parents is not their responsibility?the boys parents are adults,they made the choice for their son when they were his legal guardian,now that they are not,he is trying to fix it in the most legal way possible.i dont see whats wrong with that

Its called FAMILY! Where I come from, you protect your family! Not hard to understand.

Would you protect your family?

Would you post on a website that your immediate or significant others family were in the country illegally?

Regardless if someone is trying to fix it, the tables could turn in a big way.

Yeah but where do you draw the line?

For me it's simple, if they're not doing something illegal then I'm there to protect them but if/when they venture outside of the law then they're on their own.

Under the guise of protecting his family would you suggest they lie about where he has been living & their address on the I-129f Petition and his Visa applications in Mexico?

I would not, because mine are not.

Bu there are plenty of other sites that are more focussed on this issue and they have no problem. The obvious one is www.immigrate2us.net, and I have seen Univision mentioned.

I think you are making a fuss about nothing, it is no biggie.

Sure, they are on their own...but just leave it at that and don't post on a website about it.

Regardless if I am making a fuss about it, its only my opinion and I am certainly entitled to it!

Hello,

I was going over all the sample questions for the K-1 interview and came across one question that scared us, it was " where do your parents live?" it scared us because my fiances parents are illegal in the states, and we dont want to get them in trouble. My question is, If he tells the truth, like we plan to, will they look into it and deport his parents or can they not do that?

By filing a K-1 petition you are agreeing that you will uphold and follow the legal immigration laws of the US. Pursuant to that you must answer every question truthfully lest you risk misrepresentation and a possible ban for life.

Aside from this, you have knowledge of an illegal activity taking place but you will choose to ignore it.

So, you are caught in the Catch 22?

My advice, and only if this relationship is of upmost importance to you.....answer the question truthfully. If USCIS uncovers the fraud and goes after and deports the parents, then you are following the immigration laws of the US. Their decision to remain in the US illegally is theirs alone, not yours. They take their chances now and have to live with that decision. I don't think that there would normally be any issue but of course at the interview these facts may be brought to light. How will he/she answer the CO's question if asked about the parents?

Maybe the relationship is not worth all this potential trouble? Your choice, alone.

youre really getting worked up over something beyond shallow.

you really think if a consulate worker was reading this he or she would honestly care about the parents?

REALLY?

the son is an adult,so are the parents,the k-1 is the sons case,and the parents IF found in real life will have their own.the parents have to be held accountable for their illegal activities in real life,would not,will not,and should not effect their son,get a clue

jesus.

PS: OP has the right to post whatever she wants,wherever she wants,i personally admire her and her fiance for doing things correctly and legally

Just remember that background checks are done (Usually petitioner but sometimes beneficiary too, especially in AP) so if the beneficiary gets subjected to a background check they will find out about the parents more than likely.

But the parents shouldn't matter in this case. The beneficiary should leave the country within that 180 period, do the K-1 or IR1/CR1, make sure everything is answered truthfully and at the interview IF asked just stated that he was brought into the US illegally by his parents at a young age (I assume this is what happened) and when he was old enough to do something about it, he corrected their 'mistake' by leaving.

I have to give it to the beneficiary though for wanting to do the process legally and correctly. Speaks volumes about his character and morals.

The I.O. reading the AOS petition has really better things to do than trying to find the "family" of an applicant. There are a reported 8 to 12 million illegal immigrants in the US and ICE is more than busy trying to catch those among them who have committed serious felonies.
