Is an overstay worth risking her ability to travel to the US on a B visa again?

How is he eligible to sit for the NCLEX without a degree in nursing from an accredited college or university? That is one of the testing requirements.

None of those documents are used for tourist visas for an in-law. Something isn't right here.

That makes no sense. A person can hold citizenship of two or more countries, but you can only be born in one. If you have a document saying you were born somewhere you weren't, it is false. Full stop.

Nope. You are planning immigration fraud. Also might want to note that USCIS is known to read Visa Journey.

Random: I once found out the hard way (when GE was fairly new) at Blaine that having it does not mean you can go through the Nexxus lane 😅. So I got a trip to Canada’s secondary.

This makes no sense if you used her legal name on the petition and it matches all of her legal documents.

Not needed, or even recommended, for spouse either.

That is probably a great idea, actually. The time I was not with my husband when he came across the border with AP, they hassled him. When we entered the US together, there was no issue at all.

You could print out something from USCIS/DOS (DR consulate) websites that define what AP is, and how it is used. Also bring the receipt notice which shows that the AOS is pending, and thus she is in a period of authorized stay.

Here’s the deal: you are DQ’d, correct? The NVC routinely sends “you may not be financially qualified” type of messages, but the bottom line is that the decision rests with the consular officer. They have discretionary power. If the CO finds that they need additional info or documents from you, they’ll definitely let you know at the interview. Good luck.

You need to request those items from the joint sponsor.

Get accepted to an accredited college or university. You need to show evidence of having enough money to pay the tuition. You need to have strong ties to your home country, because F-1 is a non-immigrant visa. If it appears that you’d like to try to stay in the US, you won’t get the visa.

It’s fraud. Please do some reading and educate yourself on this process. If you don’t, you’re in for a world of hurt with potential delays, extra expenses, denials, misrepresentation.

Not always. Where I live, house titles can’t be modified unless the mortgage is refinanced, or the owner does a quit-claim gift (of equity). It’s not as simple as just adding a name.

Sorry- meant to say that we didn’t get any type of notice or acknowledgement of receipt of what we sent, but we assumed it found it’s way to the petition, since there were no RFEs.

Service center processing times are not relevant to your visa category. All petitions in the sibling category will be approved long before there is an available visa, especially for India.

Regarding the house- I already owned my home before we got married. We are in our 50s, and I had bought my house many years earlier. It would have been a financial hit to either refinance what’s left on my mortgage, or do a quit-claim gift. We are 17 months into our ROC processing, but I’d be very surprised if they question that. We have purchased vehicles jointly, own joint cash funds, and have the usual shared insurance/named beneficiaries etc. I think we sent a smaller volume of stuff than most here, but for some reason I’m not especially worried. We’ve both been previously married, each have two adult children, husband is from very low fraud country. Maybe it will come back to bite me, who knows!

This was in 2018, when petition processing timelines were much shorter. . We were February filers, and I sent the documents in June. We were approved in August with no RFE.

Some on VJ (myself included) have had success in correcting or amending what was originally sent with the petition, by sending unsolicited items directly to the CSC in Laguna Niguel. I included a copy of my NOA-1 and a cover letter of explanation. May be worth a try.

Hope so! We still haven’t gotten around to the N-400 😅.

Not really. And for this reason, we all know that pregnancy is not a reason for expedite. All the couples who cannot or choose not to reproduce together do not have less legit marriages for immigration purposes.

Large age difference, with you being older?

Exactly. In the world of immigration, it is not a measure of someone's love or commitment to another person. Just like having kids is not.

It’s really not a big thing when it comes to immigration. You can include it of course, but there are other things that hold more weight when it comes to bonafides, such as commingling of finances.
