Evidence for expidited request (merged)

[mk8t4 0]

Is there any evidance I can submit that shows that My language ability is preventing me from getting a job?

What evidance can I submit that show that I have been trying to find a Job?

would it be better to file under Financial, or Humanitarian reasons?

 

living in Japan with my wife, and we have children, 2 yar, and 5 year (with CRBA).  

filed I-130 In September.

 

Financial

My work contract ends at the end of this year. trying to find another job but no success.  I have conversations in japanese, but dont know enough Kanji, to get another Job.

My wife is unemployed and watches our kids when they are not at daycare.   

my lease ends the same time my contract ends.  the minimum lease length is 2 years.  we would need to find a different place to live, or pay to break our lease.  We wont be able tosign a new lease unless I have a job. 

A new lease in Japan normaly requires several months rent, and other fees before moving in.  we paid about $2K to sign the lease on the place we live now.  Moving back in with our her mom would also cost $2K for a moving company.   

 

As soon as my contract ends, my lease ends, and I will be unemployed.  My wife has tried to find work, but has not found anything. 

 

 

Humanitarian

I cant move to the US and leave my wife and kids.

My wife is bipolar and takes medicine every day.  I help make sure she takes her medicine.

My wife needs a lot of help with the kids, and she runs out of energy very easily.  

My wife doesnt have any family that can help her, and all of my family is in the US.

Her mother lives 4 hours away and takes care of grandmother in a small 2 bedroom apartment.  she only comes to see us 2 -3times a year  

Her father, lives in a different country.

 

Evidance I plan to submit

1. Work contract  that shows date of termination

2. lease with end dates same as work contract.

3. letter from Dr. confirming her bipolar medicine and needing support.

4. letter from mother in law confirming she is taking care of grandmother and cant help my wife with kids.

5. offer from moving company that shows high cost of moving closer to her mother.  (with date showing it is within the last month)

6. letter from my family offering to help support us.

7. (something that shows I have been tring to get a job)?

8. (something that shows my lack of needed language ability to get a job)?

 

Would the whole lease, and offer from the moving company need to be translated, or only the pages that have the needed information?

You are applying for a family reunification visa, you need to show US domicile. So most Consulates show some flexibility and people can normally get by showing plans that they are in process. You are sort of showing the opposite.

 

By all means try and you never know but it looks a weak case.

 

I assume you have a joint sponsor lined up.

How would I qualify for a family reunification visa?

 

I already applied for a spouse visa for my Japanese wife.    

Im living with my wife.

 

I can show a US domicile.  

I have a joint sponsor.

 

I will be out of a job and unable to find a new one before my wife can get her visa.  I am not able to leave my wife because I am her only means of support.

filed I-130 august 2022.

i live in japan with my wife and 2 kids.

 

i asked about evidence for expedite request.

short story is at the end of the year I will have no job, im not able to find a new job here, apartment lease will end, and I cant leave my wife because I am here only means of support for her and our kids.  Its also expensive to move to another place.

 

someone said i would be applying for a family reunification visa. 

 

most of the information I find online about family reunification visas is about refugees or the petitioner is already in the US.

Im living with my wife.

 

Can someone explain why a family reunification visa was mentioned?

how

 

I can show a US domicile

I have a joint sponsor.

Family reunification visa = spousal visa.  Your family will be unified inside the US when you re-locate there.

I-130 is for family reunification.

 

Are your children USC's?  If not, then they need I-130s for them as well.

 

For an expedite, you will need to show how granting the visa expeditiously will help.  That is, eo you have a job lined up in the States?  Without this evidence, it is not likely the expedite will be granted.

 

You filed Aug 2022. There's a reasonable chance the I-130 will be approved in the fall of this year.  Quickly pay and complete the NVC steps and you might get the interview by the end of the year.

Most I-130/spousal visa filers do not live with his/her spouse outside the US.  "Family Reunification" is a generic term.  You could call your situation a "Family Relocation" visa.  Same visa, same process, same result.  Good luck.

Ive been applying to jobs in the US to better qualify for an expedited visa.  I haven't heard anything from any of the places i have applied to. 

 

one of my friends owns a company.  but its not in my field, and Id be looking for a new job as soon as i arrived in the US.

Have you already filed the i130(s)?  Have you researched direct consular filing as that would be the fastest?  Usually couples do that with an immediate job offer, but you may qualify given your circumstances.

Sorry, read your earlier posts, and the I130 is already in progress, so DCF is not an option.  Good luck with your expedite request.

You actual best solution is to come back to the US when your job ends, get a job and support your family abroad until your spouse has her visa.  I understand you said you "can't" do that, but the truth is you don't want to, for understandable reasons.  What is the status of your children, with regard to US Citizenship?

 

This specific forum is full of people who have gone through the spouse visa process.  Separation is more common than not.

I assume the children are USC's so they could come with him and the wife hang with her mother if needed.
