What’s you main problem? Her affidavit of support or her mother’s extension?

 

Affidavit of support could be i134 or just a statement from your wife on a paper saying she would cover the cost of her mom’s stay for the intended duration.

 

Reason of extension could simply be her mom wants to spend some more time with her daughter and the grandkid. 

 

None of the above two reasons would affect you in any way. So what do you get out of it? Just a sweet revenge of getting divorced?

 

 

I wouldn't have a problem with the extension if there were no affidavit of support.

Then there is no problem.

The affidavit of support is irrelevant.  You've been told multiple reasons why.  If you want to spin your wheels and waste time, go right ahead.

How would your comments tie up with her application?

Yep, that was the problem I faced when I went to the USCIS "customer service".  Without a receipt number, all the woman could do was give it to their fraud department.  I did provide passport information, all the other identifying numbers.

 

Now that I have a receipt number, I am contemplating giving the same packet of information again, but this time with the receipt number.

 

In response to the comment that it wasn't evidence, but only my side of the story, the package included police reports detailing "custody disputes" between me and MIL, and allegations of abuse, which were promptly investigated and refuted by the officers.  So, it's not just my side of the story.

The AOS being discussed is a part of i539 OP’s wife submitted, just trying to be post-specific.

 

Yeah 6 month may not be enough. Depends on people. For some 1 week could be more than enough, for some it may never be enough.

Who made the allegations of abuse? MIL or wifey?

 

Assuming the wife came from Ukraine, there are plenty of online posts about Ukrainian women support networks in the US that she may rely on for her side of the story.

1) There is no affidavit of support for a tourist visa, or its extension. You're not on the hook for anything.

2) USCIS does. not. care. about your "evidence" - they have real problems to deal with that don't involve a vindictive soon-to-be-ex-spouse trying to screw over their soon-to-be-ex-wife/mother-in-law.

 

Basically, nothing you do impacts her application. It will likely be denied because it's frivolous, unless the lawyer made up or dressed up the reason for the extension and gets it approved. Either way it doesn't matter, this has nothing to do with you, there is no enforceable affidavit of support, and your anger is misplaced - if you want to keep making this sound like it's a huge deal that can jeopardize your wife's immigration status, you're going to be sorely disappointed. Sorry things didn't turn out the way you wanted.

The only supporting doc required for B2 extension is a statement mentioning why one wants to stay, wat arrangements have been done to depart later and how it would affect one’s foreign work/residency if applicable.

 

why are you worrying about something USCIS doesn’t give a damn about even if your wife submitted?

On this particular occasion, my baby started to cry.  MIL insisted I give my baby to her, which I refused.  MIL called my wife at work.  My wife called 911 and came home from work.  My baby tends to stop crying in the bathroom with the fan, lights and mirror, so we take him in there during these times.  When my wife got home from work, she saw my son comforted in my arms and spent the time until the police came to berate my visiting parents for not convincing me to give my son to her mother.  When the police arrived, they said there was a report of a baby in a bathroom.  I let my wife explain the ridiculous call and she continued to argue that I could have been murdering my son in the bathroom and I refused to let her mother care for my son.  The police inspected my son and noted that there were no marks, bruises or scratches.  There were no allegations of abuse of my wife or MIL.  It was a ridiculous allegation of child abuse.  Claims like this, which get included in police reports, seem to be worthwhile for USCIS to review when evaluating whether MIL is "visiting" or actively engaged in caretaking.

 

Anyways, I wrote this thread hoping for a lead on something I could point to in court ahead of the multiple months of USCIS processing time.  I appreciate the input from everybody, but I think it's safe to say this has gone a bit off the rails.

Because USCIS not giving a damn about it wasn't my mindset.  Based on research I did, I believe(d) the Affidavit of Support was required.  My wife told me that she signed an Affidavit of Support.  That is the information I have been working with.

It has not gone off the rail.  It's just that no one will gave you the answers you wanted to hear.  No one is going to tell you what you are doing is a smart or a worthwhile idea to pursue.  

 

You " wrote this thread hoping for a lead on something I could point to in court ahead of the multiple months of USCIS processing time."  Sorry, but the world doesn't work like that.  What court?  What court is looking at your MIL?

And you came to VJ for help from people with more immigration experience than you have.  We have told you that the AOS is meaningless, but you can't accept that.  You keep working with erroneous information and keep insisting you can do something about your MIL's extension.

This is what we'd tell you.. you can't affect your MIL's B2 extension, and neither could your wife. It's a standalone i539 that would have the applicant's (MIL's sign). There is no Affidavit required for an i539. Your wife could be lying to you about it. Or even if she signed an AoS, it's a worthless paper. 

 

Now leave it up to USCIS to adjudicate the Extension.

There is no affidavit of support.  That is not a thing for B visas.  It does not matter what the attorney has promised or "filed."

I also assume she will just stay until your wife naturalises and can sponsor her, who knows what their plan may have been.
