    You are the USC petitioner, correct? I am not a lawyer, but my observation is that the petitioner’s criminal background MUST be disclosed, and that unless the crimes involve AWA type offenses, it generally is not a barrier to petitioning someone. USCIS is more concerned with the type of behaviors/crimes that could hurt a beneficiary or their minor child. Be honest in all your dealings with USCIS, and consult a lawyer if you feel you need to. You will want to get copies of your criminal records and all court records. You can also order an FBI background check on yourself. Transparency and disclosing everything up front is the way to go.

    Except that he appears to be doing a K-1, so there will be AOS and ROC interviews.

    They adjudicate different types of applications and forms. I don't know what you mean by U.S.I.C.

    You seem confused. Petitions are processed at service centers, which are located in California, Texas, Nebraska and Vermont. Since your timeline shows you're doing a K-1, your petition (I-129F) is at the California Service Center. Your local USCIS field office is not involved in that part of the process.
  21. SalishSea
    Correct. Local field offices are located in US cities and towns.

    I think you misunderstand this process. It is discretionary to the consulate, and based on the totality of circumstances, not just on numbers on paper. Apparently they think your beneficiary is likely to become a public charge. Your options are: joint sponsor or qualifying income.

    There was some evidence this one weird trick worked, but that was several years ago. It no longer seems to have that effect. OP, the K3 is likely to be paired with your I-130 and administratively closed.
  27. SalishSea
    Yes, for the I-134 I wouldn't expect any issues. However, keep in mind that you will soon be submitting the I-864 for AOS, and the new administration may well implement additional public charge requirements, like they did previously.

    Huh? What is that going to accomplish?

    You're not worried about another muslim ban?

  32. SalishSea
    How do you figure that? Maybe you don't realize that the clock only starts when the GC is issued, which could be a year after arrival to the US?
  33. SalishSea
    Unfortunately not. Also - derivative beneficiaries are not allowed for that type of petition. Are you aware that you and your children will not be allowed to immigrate with him?
  34. SalishSea
    Correct. However, a certified copy (i.e. original) is often required for the consular interview, so it is wise to make sure the beneficiary has certified copies.
  35. SalishSea
    With either option, it’s unlikely to happen in 2025, due to backlogs and other factors. Still, the CR-1 is the superior choice. citizenship would be many years away. The issue of whether dual citizenship is allowed lies with your country, not the US.
  36. SalishSea
    Thank you for your service, Boiler. I had no idea this was the OP’s topic here.
