    Also, if they do away with birthright citizenship as promised, OP will not be able to get an immigration benefit via the younger child.

    Best luck and please keep us updated!

    It is a very backlogged consulate, so even if there are no true AP type issues, I would imagine it will be some time for them to review the additional info they've received. Good luck.

    You are welcome to go back to Pakistan to visit, arent' you?
  5. SalishSea
    Warm?

    Did you bring the first wife over on an immigrant visa also? There must be some reason why they focused on that during her interview.

    "Assets" is vague enough to create confusion in anecdotes. A house that you plan to live in with the intending immigrant is an asset, but differently so than investments that generate an income akin to a salary.

    She will be in AP. It will likely not be fast. Sounds like you have a number of red flags.

    It means exactly what it says. There is no visa number available for you yet. Are you familiar with the Visa Bulletin? If not, best to research and learn about how to read it.

    You seem lack information about adoption as it relates to immigration. It's not as simple as that. You need a lawyer and to do some significant research into Hague Convention adoptions. Definitely not possible unless the child is an orphan, and also you would need to move there and live with the child for two years.

    Sounds like you have a charlatan lawyer. A change of status (COS) from B to F1 would have been possible if you hadn't overstayed, but not now. Also: an F1 is a non-immigrant visa, which I can't ever see you getting again with an overstay. Why would they take your word for it that you would leave after completing your education? You have violated the terms of one visa, and likely will do it again. Are you really happy to stay here as an illegal immigrant for 20 years? Have you read about what is coming down the pike for undocumented immigrants next year? If it were me, I'd take my child and leave while I still had control over the situation.

    I would expect 4-6 weeks from the time the completed application was received by them on 10/29/24.
  13. SalishSea
    Not sure what you mean by "restart," but clearly they cannot process incomplete packages. Your processing started once your application was complete.
  14. SalishSea
    Normal passport processing is currently 4-6 weeks. You're well within that, since you originally sent an incomplete packet. No, a senator will not help with this.

    It comes down to your tolerance for risk, I guess. Living in a border or checkpoint area would be a big reason to do it, in my opinion.
  16. SalishSea
    I assume by "petitioner" you mean the applicant? They should carry the extension letter and the expired GC.
  17. SalishSea
    It's not a black and white formulaic decision. It is based on the totality of circumstances.
  18. SalishSea
    So clearly she isn’t currently here, and as a result what you are contemplating is actually immigration fraud. Don’t do that, or she risks a ban. Your ONLY option is to petition her properly for an immigrant visa and wait in the queue like everyone else.

    You can (and MUST, for immigration purposes) spend time together in person, regardless of religion.
  20. SalishSea
    Great point.
  21. SalishSea
    Yes, that is a major red flag.
  22. SalishSea
    LOL, no.
  23. SalishSea
    I think if you really do go to work for USCIS, you'll find that's not what goes on there...
  24. SalishSea
    Could be, if they have questions about the circumstances of adjusting. Is he adjusting from an overstay of ESTA?
  25. SalishSea
    Great points. Especially since most of us would never consider marrying someone local to us that we had met online 4 months ago. That just is not the organic progression of a lifetime marital relationship.
