  1. Start saving now. If they're already in their 80s, you will need thousands and thousands of dollars for their health care.
  2. They rightly assume she will use it to try to immigrate. She needs to be properly petitioned for an immigrant visa.
  3. Plan to move spouse/family to home country. Not everyone gets an immigrant visa.
  4. Whatever civil attorneys can recover in court is NOT related to the contract between the USC who signed the form and the United States. You're splitting hairs and comparing apples to oranges. The OP of this thread saying that the I-864 obligated him to pay a specified monthly payment is incorrect and was either gravely misled or failed to do his own homework.
  5. Whatever your divorce decree specifies is unrelated to immigration.
  6. You are not obligated to support her. You signed a contract with the US government agreeing to repay any means-tested benefits she used without being eligible.
  7. This is like the 3rd one today?! That refers to the petition (I-130). That error will cost an extra year to the process.
  8. This sounds all kinds of illegal. Items delivered to the lockbox will just sit there until USCIS collects them - they won't be returned to sender.
  9. So due to the lawyer's error, it will take an additional YEAR.
  10. Right, so it is cutting it close for all that needs to happen, and seems unlikely to work out.
  11. Something is wrong here. You don't "file for I 864." Why is your brother not here asking questions or doing his own research?
  12. Somehow I read this in Ron Swanson's voice.....
  13. Neither is fast. Both processes will take at least two years from start to finish. For high fraud countries/red flags, spousal process may be better. If you've been persisting in referring to fiance as "wife," your K-1 could well be denied.
  14. If married, you’re not eligible for that visa. You both have lots and lots of reading to do.
  15. It is just one of many well/known disadvantages of doing a K-1 instead of CR-1. You’ll just have to wait.
  16. You seem quite confused about the process. Best bet is for you both to do as much reading as possible and educate yourselves. The US citizen really needs to be part of this discussion.
  17. People in certain countries leave behind property, jobs, and young children every day to overstay/adjust on B visas. The consulates know all the tricks and the adjudication of tourist visa applications is data-driven.
  18. But why wait so long to file? That makes zero sense to anyone here.
  19. Not sure what your deal is with this. The OP says she cannot get the bank to write a letter with specific content, and asks “is that bad”? It is NOT bad, because it is NOT necessary.
  20. Oh boy…. To the OP: The BEST evidence you can provide as ability to support an immigrant (whether the I-134 now, or the I-864 6 months from now) is actual evidence of current income, which is W-2. Bank letters are fine, but they are secondary to demonstrating income. Mike-E-ing outta here.
  21. How that works is that you’ve been working illegally and not getting caught. Between that and your plan to abuse your B visa privileges, you’re tempting fate.
  22. Doesn’t really sound like OP’s situation is as such…..
  23. Absolutely delay travel! It will save you time and money.
