I am sure he lied about the second wife and who the mother of the children is.

 

I would hang on to it, use it when appropriate

I wonder if Canada immigration policies r/t polygamy are the same as the US.

I feel pretty sure if they were ok with it I would have come across it

So there has been some development to this now:

 

The husband passed away just 2 days ago...

The husband and the other wife and youngest son were in canada recently and from what I understood since my SIL has no idea what type of immigration they went on, applied for change of status in canada. However the husband got sick and was admitted in the ICU twice a month and a half ago so the second wife sent him back to Pakistan. The wife stayed behind but sent the kid. The husband came back and few weeks later got very sick and had a heartattack and was admitted in ICU. Eventually the doctors told the family in Pakistan that he had only few days left to live. So that said, he passed away yesterday in Pakistan while his other wife was in Canada. Now she is returning and not sure what her canadian status will be but I believe she was working and had submitted her passport.

 

Honestly I don't care about what will happen to her and her kid. Now that my SIL is widowed and she has 2 daughters, can we go ahead and complete the i130 application process? If yes, then do we need her husband's death certificate at this stage?

 

What is the overall processing time from stage 1 to all the way to embassy stage? Are we looking at 7 to 8 years? does anyone know what year is Pakistan embassy is currently working on for F1 visa category? Would her having kids come into play here? Her daughters are 12 and 18 so what are their chances of immigrating with their mom under CSPA?

 

TIA

How long people being interviewed now is not that helpful as there are a lot more people waiting now than back when they filed.

 

Lets say it becomes current in 2040 very difficult to see the 18 year old making it, possibly the 12 year old if it takes a long time to process the I 130.

 

Biden has been rolling out Parole to those waiting, some think it will become world wide, who knows but if you are not in it then you can not play.

 

I am intrigued by the Canadian situation, I know the basics about Canada but not enough to speculate what they did.

Do you know what the current time for this category for the country of pakistan. On the visa bulletin I saw that the final act was 2015 for the i130 and for NVC it was 2017...My calculation is telling me more than 9 year for i130 if I am not reading it wrong that is. Is that true?

 

And what do you mean about Biden rolling out Parole, not sure I understand what that means...what is going on? Am I missing something?

 

Honestly i could care less but I just gave a short version of what the husband and second wife did.

People who filed nearly 9 years ago are now getting to the front of the line. You have yet to file.

 

There is no way of being precise as to what the wait time will be looking forward, too many variables some of which can only be guessed at, I tend to double and round down the past time which seems to be there or thereabouts. Just a guide.

Thank you for updating the thread about the weird Canadian situation.

Exactly, that's what Boiler meant. It doesn't apply to Pakistan now so unless things change she's got a long wait ahead of her.

Really? i was under the impression that it was the slowest one since the embassy is clearly backlogged...

It is now, in 2040 whenever who knows
