Not sure what a “humanitarian lawyer” is, but if you cannot afford the fees of an immigration lawyer, you’ll want to research local legal nonprofits/charities in your area.
I have no idea. I’m saying that whatever you put as the derivative’s name on your brother’s petition needs to match any official documents issued by their country.
Do you understand that nothing at all will happen with this case for 20 years??
The name on any form should match what is on her birth certificate, marriage license etc.
You can petition your brother and his wife. The child will probably age out. It will take at least 20 years for a visa for your brother to become available. Might want to familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin.
Yes, in this case it does. Like I said, we have seen N400 denials for people who were temporarily away from their primary residence during the 3 month period.
If there is such a push to naturalize now, you should plan to stay put. If you cannot, perhaps delay naturalizing.
She wants to arrive three hours before the appointment time? There will not be anyone even in the consular section of the embassy at 430 in the morning!
You don’t get brownie points for arriving hours early, and it’s not a first come first served deal. Half an hour early is plenty.
I agree. We’ve seen denials for the three month state/jurisdiction residency for people that were temporarily away. Seems it is a hard and fast rule. I wouldn’t risk it.
OP, you’ve got quite the difficult path ahead, since you cannot get a passport to travel, she’s very very unlikely to get a tourist visa, and you do not qualify to sponsor an immigrant.
You have lots of thinking, researching and studying to do.
Unfortunately, you do not make enough to sponsor an immigrant. You will need to look at getting a better/a second job.
Very unlikely she would get a tourist visa.
You will need to meet (probably multiple times) and spend as much time together as possible before petitioning, to offset the inherent issues with a high fraud country like Kenya.
It can be done, but you need to do as much reading and research as possible. It will take several years before she can move here, and it will cost thousands of dollars. US immigration requires a great deal of patients and knowledge.
No, they won’t. It is for much later on in the AOS process, so filling it out now is pointless, as the info will not be current.
Please do some research so that you understand the K-1 process a bit.
She won’t get a tourist visa.
And a K-1 is not for visiting, or deciding if you want to live in the US.
In any case, you can petition her for a K-1. It will take around two years.
You should probably do a deep dive into researching the US immigration process. It is not cheap, easy or fast. Using your parents address is the least of your concern.
Why is she interviewing again, after the denial?
If she was denied due to immigrant intent, unless something big has changed, she will have the same result.
I have hear that HCMC can be challenging, and with petitioning another woman from the same country, they’ll be looking at potential fraud.
I agree OP, I’d lawyer up.
