    I would assume so too, but bringing over people from your country that you marry without knowing well should be a caution for everyone.
  2. SalishSea
    Oh, I see. Then it is really more like defaulting on a debt owed, which I doubt ICE is going to care about. If it was marriage fraud, it will be very hard to prove. However, if he divorces and then attempts to petition a new wife, I’d expect scrutiny. Chalk it up to another reason to perhaps date locally, since with overseas relationships it is much harder to really get to know a person’s character.

    OP, I am not familiar with Indian law or dowries. Are you saying that he has committed bigamy by remaining married to the first wife while marrying your USC sister?

    The return ticket and evidence of ties to home (does she have a job? Employer letters detailing expected return date for work can help) are your best bets.

    No, there are reciprocal considerations by country for the visa length as well Anyway, to reiterate what I said: not all tourists will get the 6 month stay approved at CBP.
  6. SalishSea
    In general, B visas are issued for a 10 year period, and length of stay per CBP is up to six months. However, people with B visas issued in certain countries can get significantly shorter periods of both visa validity and length of stay.

    Here is the FAM: https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM040309.html https://fam.state.gov/fam/09fam/09fam040202.html

    Multiple posts on VJ. Have a look, you can search if you want.
  9. SalishSea
    Not for every country.
  10. SalishSea
    Not for all tourists.
  11. SalishSea
    Does she have a return ticket?
  12. SalishSea
    K-1s do not submit documents to NVC. CR-1 process is totally different.
  13. SalishSea
    Seems to be in the same vein as rejecting outright "place holder" petitions that are submitted while incomplete, in order to get in the queue.
  14. SalishSea
    Yes, and your family's country of origin.
  15. SalishSea
    Right. And I’m saying that a live agent will not be able to do anything except confirm that the OP needs to submit the form as stated in the RFE.

    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??
  18. SalishSea
    Unfortunately, that has added up to one year to your process. “Infopass” is not a work-around. You will have to file the I-824, like Powerpuff said.
  19. SalishSea
    Did you have a question ?
  20. SalishSea
    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.
  21. SalishSea
    Yay!!! You guys are among my faves here at VJ. Congratulations!
  22. SalishSea
    Maybe you need to review the 3 month requirement, as OP really is risking a denial here.
  23. SalishSea
    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.
  24. SalishSea
    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.
  25. SalishSea
    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.
