Doing research and visiting my US partner on ESTA
Cathi replied to Happy_go_lucky's topic in Tourist Visas
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. -

It's not up to the embassy (DOS) to make that decision. -

Cathi replied to Happy_go_lucky's topic in Tourist Visas
Understood, BUT millions who have gone before you have said the same and proceeded to do the opposite. You don't need to convince me, it's convincing CBP you need to worry about. I know it's discouraging and no on is telling you it's impossible, we're just letting you know the reality that it will be an uphill battle. -

Expedite request I-130 ?
Cathi replied to Selena123's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
Unless you give us the reason you want/need an expedite. no one can answer you with any accuracy. -
You can meet in another country, there is no getting around the meeting in person rule. If finances are a concern, you're going to have a lot of trouble getting a K-1 because of the cost, plus the requirement of having the ability to support your fiancé once they arrive to the U.S

Seeking advice on B2 and K1 visa
Cathi replied to Enixxo's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Right now the K-1 and CR1 are following the same timeline-give or take a few weeks. By FAR the CR1 is the superior visa and costs less than half of what a K-1 costs. Not to mention the fact that with a Cr1 the person has a green card immediately upon entry to the US, they can work and travel immediately. With a K-1 , they must adjust status, wait for a long time for the ability to work and travel out of the country. There isn't a person here who wouldn't agree that the CR1 is the superior visa at this time. -
overstayed visa (merged)

Nothing, there is nothing you can do. He must depart immediately, yesterday if possible. -
Thank you for everything
Cathi replied to P0907's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
Congratulations! It's so nice when everything is said and done. -
You cannot compare Wales to Pakistan. Pakistan is one of the highest fraud countries when it comes to visas to the US, Wales is on the other end of the spectrum.

Just because you think her fear is unfounded, doesn't mean it is, especially coming from Pakistan, one of the highest fraud countries. Three visits in such a short amount of time is not normal and again, no one can predict what CBP will do.

Fourth DV charge/conviction? I'm surprised you haven't been deported yet, domestic violence is a CIMT, even if only a misdemeanor. Even a single conviction of domestic violence can lead to severe immigration consequences. Defendants who are not citizens of the United States should be advised that in many cases a single conviction of domestic violence can lead to removal, deportation, or denial of naturalization.

Renewing my parents 10yr Green card.
Cathi replied to AD1's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
A green card is for LIVING in the U.S., not visiting. -
Planning to visit the U.S. with my girlfriend next year
Cathi replied to azziaando's topic in Tourist Visas
The chances of you getting a visitor visa as a single male from Morocco are slim. You need to have VERY strong ties to your home country and it seems to me all you have for a tie to home is 3 and a half years work experience. -
Called for interview despite of being eligible for interview waiver
Cathi replied to Asim_pk22's topic in Tourist Visas
Your parents are required to reside in the U.S. Period. A green card is for LIVING in the U.S., NOT visiting. End of story. -
Please explain how you would be missing out if you do things legally? Just because others have gone about it the wrong way has absolutely no bearing on your immigration journey, immigration to the U.S is a privilege, not a right. Complaining about people who are here illegally isn't going to get you anywhere, especially on this site where we are here to help others through their journey, not argue semantics. Either you accept our help, or try to do things on your own...
