    However, it is true that there are LOTS of false and frivolous VAWA claims. You can read loads of appeal denials on the USCIS AAO decisions page.
  2. SalishSea
    Applied for DACA on the basis of being abused by his USC son? Wouldn't that be VAWA?
  3. SalishSea
    A K-3 visa will not be issued.
  4. SalishSea
    Anyone here can only speculate. My guess is yes.
  5. SalishSea
    Yes, I think you should. He is old enough to understand. It is similar to how adopted kids deserve to know they're adopted.

    Good questions. Hopefully the stepchild realizes you are not his/her bio father? I very much doubt the CO will ask anything related to the bio father (name/DOB etc), since that info would be in the record, and that person has not been part of child's life. My impression is that interviews for children are nothing like interviews for adults. The kid is only there due to the choices made by a parent. CO may want to know generally how things are between the child and you, and what he/she thinks about moving to the US.

    This is precisely why you should have both read and educated yourselves on the process and eligibility to file petitions. Why is the USC not in this thread? He essentially petitioned you before he was legally divorced. You've wasted so much time and money, you BOTH need to really understand these processes before proceeding.
  8. SalishSea
    I agree. It sounds like a backup plan.
  9. SalishSea
    It is fraud to enter with the intent to adjust status. You need to petition them- there is no work-around for the queue.

    I believe easily liquidated/liquid assets are generally fine. @pushbrk

    Definitely. She would need strong ties to home (reasons to return), like anyone wanting a tourist visa. Unfortunately, when people overstay, it makes it harder for others from the same country to get visas.
  12. SalishSea
    Depends on the assets. If it’s a house where the immigrant is to live, then no. Easier to just get a job or a joint sponsor.
  13. SalishSea
    Because she clearly wants to immigrate. Consular officers are required to assess immigrant intent for tourist visa applicants.
  14. SalishSea
    Most countries do not even have a pathway for siblings to immigrate. USA still does, but might not in 20 years.
  15. SalishSea
    She won't likely get a tourist visa, ever. If you need household help, your best bet is to hire someone locally.
  16. SalishSea
    No she can't. That visa category is numerically limited each year. You should familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin.
  17. SalishSea
    You can file without regard to sponsorship ability, because it will be TWENTY (20) YEARS before a visa number is available to your sister, and obviously your financial situation will be completely different then.

    The basis of an expedite request is the documentation that supports the reason for the request. I would make sure I had everything in order before submitting.
  19. SalishSea
    They won’t approve an expedite without the supporting documentation- why would they?
  20. SalishSea
    Most expedite requests are denied. It will take at least two years from filing to visa in hand. Spousal visas are taking around the same amount of time. The reality of US immigration in 2023.
  21. SalishSea
    You can try emailing the consulate. That one has like a two year backup for interviews though.
  22. SalishSea
    Why should they file an I-130? This is not needed.
  23. SalishSea
    Fraud was committed, whether he realized it or not. OP, you should just give up the K-1 process and get married if you need to have the religious ceremony first. Pakistan is very high fraud, if you’re smart, you won’t do anything to add to that perception.
  24. SalishSea
    If you do this, she will no longer be eligible for the K-1 visa.
  25. SalishSea
    Why would you need to pick her up and bring her here? Presumably she is a grown woman and can travel as such? And no, there are no visa extensions.
