If the spouse abroad enters the US with a valid IR-1 visa, then he/she immediately becomes a legal resident (10 year Green Card holder) with all associated rights thereof. But the US spouse has full discretion prior to the spousal visa being issued and entry by the foreign spouse. -
Absolutely. The US citizen spouse can, at their discretion, revoke the I-130 and/or I-864 at any time before the visa is issued by contacting USCIS, NVC, and/or the Consulate in writing. That will terminate the case. This is irrevocable. Once the visa is issued, it becomes more difficult as the consulate would have to void the printed visa. If CPB or the airlines are informed of a voided visa, they can then stop the foreign spouse from traveling and/or entering the US. Once an immigrant spousal visa holder (CR-1 or IR-1) enters the US with a valid visa, then the visa holder automatically becomes a Green Card holder at that point. At that point, it would be extremely difficult to get USCIS to intervene short of proof of fraud. (Remember, obtaining a spousal visa requires a great deal of bona fide marriage proof from the US citizen as well as the immigrant) If the immigrant enters the US via a CR-1, then the US citizen can refuse to participate in the joint I-751....2 years later, making it difficult (but still possible) for the immigrant to obtain a 10 year Green card.

Site traffic
Crazy Cat replied to EatBulaga's topic in Site-Related Discussion - Updates, Ideas, etc.
Fun Fact regarding site activity: Most members might not realize this, but Captain Ewok has initiated a nice array of spam filters which work well most of the time. A few weeks ago, the filters temporarily stopped one night. Moderators manually banned about 90 NEW spammers....all joining in one day.......fortunately, the Captain's spam filters are working. -
Timeline after email from manila IR1

I think you are correct. It made me laugh out loud!!! I might start using that. "Apple" is my new term for "OP". -
Agree. My new car has no way to de-activate the feature except by pressing the button after starting the engine...every time......however, I can order a short jumper cable from Amazon which will supposed permanently deactivate the start-stop. Thinking about buying one. Just ordered one from Amazon.

Filing date generally determines I-130 approval date. DQ date determines placement in the interview queue at NVC. 1. Case is DQ'd by NVC. 2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC. 3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview dates for upcoming month. 4. NVC schedules interviews for cases at the front of the line. 5. NVC schedules your interview when your case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate. 6. NVC notifies person of interview date via email. 7. NVC then sends case to consulate. After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case. -
Probably not an issue. However, iIf the difference is so low, why would the attorney use something other than what USCIS instructions require? This is not sound practice.....
-
I agree. That would be the logical and most efficient way for them to process your case. USCIS doesn't always make sense. Some people who file an I-751 get approvals within a couple months. My wife and I had to wait for 44 months (done during a combo interview). Hopefully, you'll have USCIS off your back in a couple months.

You aren't alone......The "what if" mental game can be tortuous. Hang in there.... -
An internet search shows that USCIS Chicago is experiencing a backlog of N-400s. Some info indicates about 7 months is current wait time. I haven't seen anything which suggests they have stopped processing them. Maybe a couple months more of waiting.

She has the 1st and 3rd physical visas?
-
They will know of all her legal entries.....and I would expect some serious questions about the length of her stays (those are not authorized tourism stays) and how she legally re-entered with overstays. An overstay will immediately and automatically void an existing B2.....and getting another B2 with previous multi-year overstays is difficult. Therefore, these dates, if for legal entries, just don't make sense to me. I would not be surprised if they look for misrepresentation of some kind. She might even need a waiver. Which entry did the attorney omit? The 12 year stay?
