  1. Green cards are for living in the U.S.
  2. CR-1 (spouse) visa, she'll be able to work right away, it's also a lot less expensive than a K-1. You do not need an attorney unless you have a difficult case, this is a DIY site the majority of us have not used attorneys. In fact, my husband and I had several so-called "red flags" and many here thought it would be an uphill battle for us. I did everything on my own, from filing the original petition-up to and including naturalization and we never had so much as a single RFE at any point in his journey. If I can do it on my own, you can. Attorneys are expensive and a lot of the time, they actually slow down the process. Good luck.
  3. His work contract ends in August and they must leave when it's over.
  4. I agree with this. Not only do I agree with it, I can tell you that my husband renewed his Jordanian passport under the same circumstances. He sent everything to the Jordanian Embassy in D.C. You would need to research where to send hers for renewal.
  5. You can invite anyone you want. But there is no such thing as an "invitation letter" or any other type of invitation that would grant her, or anyone else access to coming to the U.S. If she wants, she can apply for a visitor visa, but she must apply and be approved based on her own merits, and her merits alone. The chances of her (or anyone) getting a visitor visa from Lagos are just about zero, add in that her spouse lives here in the U.S, that brings her chances to zero. Just stating the facts, the only thing you have to lose is the fee. If it were me, I wouldn't waste my time, or money.
  6. A simple no fault divorce is NOT expensive, it's basically just court costs.
  7. Not sure why you have a year stuck in your head. Plan for at least 18 months.
  8. In this political climate, no one can give you an accurate answer. If it were me, I would not put my visa in jeopardy, but that's just me. Lately there have been several cases of people being denied entry for far less, then being detained and deported and having their visas permanently revoked. A quick Google search and you'll find them.
  9. Because everything is noted in the system, whether or not you think it was generic.
  10. This is not legally recognized in the US
  11. Not a moment before you have the visa physically in your possession.
  12. A CR1 visa is for immigrating and LIVING permanently in the US, NOT for visiting. Just because they could not get a b1/b2 visa doesn't mean you can try to play the system, it will have dire consequences on the end.
  13. Doesn't matter. If it was good enough for immigration purposes, it's more than good enough for the DMV. The green card is sufficient, ask for a supervisor. My husband used his green card, he was never asked for a marriage certificate. Why would they ask for a marriage certificate to begin with? Most people aren't married when they get a license or even a real ID. Did you present the marriage certificate as ID without being asked for it? My son didn't get his license until he was in his twenties but he got an ID from the DMV when he was 16, a marriage license wasn't even on the list of approved documents required for identification. You cannot get married again, when you're already married. Period.
  14. What is "just answer"? Why would you list the accident? Even IF there was a settlement, it went through insurance. Secondary is NOT being detained. You're over thinking.
  15. This plan isn't going to work, go home and wait for your visa number to become available.
  16. There are just as many, if not more, lies and falsehoods coming from conservative media regarding legal and illegal immigration. Lies and conspiracies do not have a political affiliation.
  17. Anxiety can get the best if us all, it's very big of you to apologize. I know you said that this thread has been discouraging, I get it, you need to understand that people here are only telling you the truth of the matter. No one here is going to give you false expectations, that wouldn't be fair to you. Immigration is very stressful when coming to the US, even in the best of circumstances. The current administration is looking to stop most immigration/visas to this country, unless you fall into the billionaire class. Every last detail will be put under a microscope and scrutinized. I wish you the best.
