    It is immigration fraud for her to enter the US with the intent to stay and adjust status. You need to petition her for an immigrant visa.
  2. SalishSea
    Why would you need those, if you have a GC?
  3. SalishSea
    "Claim it now"? No. That was 8 years ago. It is a one time deal. You can apply again.

    A cursory glance at the requirements for filing shows that it is indeed required. Maybe after 44 years, his mind is a bit addled and he should consider retirement.
  5. SalishSea
    I believe in general you would find out at the interview.
  6. SalishSea
    Same answer you got last time. Isn't this at least your third thread with this question?
  7. SalishSea
    But, that's what you signed on for.......right? Surely you must have thought about these things when you petitioned him at his advanced age? SMH. Sorry, but I think it is irresponsible and cruel to bring a very elderly person here and not provide him with basic health insurance.
  8. SalishSea
    Who petitioned him? That person is on the hook for supporting him, not the US taxpayers.

    Your mom would need to put her US children under "US contacts." The form absolutely requires applicants to disclose friends/family in the US.

    You will have to look at getting an expedited US passport.
  11. SalishSea
    A person's eligibility is established by the contents of the DS160, so there is nothing evidence-wise to bring to the interview.

    Unless something significant changes with her ties to home, I don't see her getting a B visa, sorry.
  13. SalishSea
    Apparently having you in the US was a stronger tie than ties to home. Lots of people like her come over for a visit and then abruptly decide to stay and adjust status. Just petition her for an immigrant visa if you want her to be here.
  14. SalishSea
    You did not say that initially. You made it sound like she wanted to return immediately for another long stay, and yes: that could potentially be a problem.
  15. SalishSea
    It will take around two years, whether it is a CR-1 or K-1.
  16. SalishSea
    Previous processing times are meaningless.
  17. SalishSea
    LOL who said it was fastest? Petition approval time is 15.5 months at the moment. There is nothing fast about US immigration, full stop.
  18. SalishSea
    Because the B visa is not to be used for actually living in the US. CBP will rightly wonder how she can afford to have such long vacations in the US, and whether she is working here remotely, which is not permitted. If she wants to spend so much time here, she needs a green card. Also- you seem to think that the 6 months is an entitlement . It is not. CBP can admit her for any length of time under 6 months, or they can deny her entry if they suspect immigrant intent, which is very likely as she appears to have no job or other ties to home, as evidenced by long trips to the US.

    There is no sponsorship or public charge for a (nonimmigrant) for a B visa. It will be many years before they could come on an immigrant visa, so maybe you’ll be in a better financial position to sponsor them by then.

    Armenia was mentioned (as was Turkey) because those are the default consulates where Iranians generally interview for US visas - not as any commentary on safety.
  21. SalishSea
    I have no idea. Why don’t you ask her?
  22. SalishSea
    I agree with the others: Meet first. All of the rest of this is years away. Best bet is to meet and spend as much time together as possible. Multiple meetings would be good. Save all documentation related to those meetings.
  23. SalishSea
    You’re missing my point. Social/religious/cultural norms are seen through the lens of the beneficiary’s country of origin when it comes to US immigration. She will be an Iranian citizen interviewing in another country because the US does not have diplomatic relations with Iran.
  24. SalishSea
    I guess it depends on timing. They could question how you would be able to afford to support new immigrants if you can’t afford basics for your own family.
  25. SalishSea
    That’s not what I mean. What I mean is that a major difference in religion could be a red flag, especially if she ends up interviewing in Armenia or Turkey. I believe that non-Muslim men are not allowed to marry Muslim women, and the US consulates are aware of such social norms.
