    You should actually be concerned on why it was sent back, as if you still want the visa, you’ll have to overcome those reasons. Senator cannot help in this case.
  2. SalishSea
    Right, I meant while the traveller was still abroad, vs upon arrival.
  3. SalishSea
    It will be identified during the medical exam, which is standard.

    DOS doesn't reveal a lot about their security protocols. I have never heard of a tattoo database.
  5. SalishSea
    We have seen denials for tattoos that could be connected to gang activity, yes. It is not considered to be 'discrimination,' but a security/background precaution. Piercings and dyed hair are not relevant to US immigration.

    If it's a fake job offer, that is a risky choice.
  7. SalishSea
    Not at all. I'm implying that the USCIS officer was incorrect. Yes, the process is demoralizing. We have all had to wait long periods of time for various approvals.

    What do you mean she "add me to her tax"?
  9. SalishSea
    No decision has been made, and your case is in administrative processing. Normal course of events, and no way to tell just from that if there is an issue.

    Bring whatever they ask for. US passport is only evidence of citizenship, not how it was obtained (by birth or other).

    I had no idea it was even possible for an LPR to get an ESTA.

    It’s a mistake to focus so much on naturalization when you have yet to remove conditions on a marriage based green card and you’re living separately from your spouse. That, by the way, is a very unusual choice. Good luck, and hopefully you don’t get scrutinized too closely.

    Interview ‘waived’ in July, and you still don’t have GC? Makes no sense.
  14. SalishSea
    If that was the case, you’d have the green card.

    The ESTA would have been issued in Greece before travel.

    Btw, “filler” and neutralization are two of my pet peeves round here. Thanks for doing polls about them! Maybe the next one could be “did you summit or submit….?”

    Again, I don't think you understand what Direct Consular Filing is about. Btw, since all of the international USCIS offices closed, no consulate "offers" DCF. They will entertain requests from resident USCs undergoing 'exceptional circumstances' to process the petition directly, on a case-by-case basis. Your request was denied by your country's consulate, so you will have to file stateside through the lockbox.

    I filled in the petition form, and then filed it. So - both!

    I-129F petitions are taking 15.5 months for approval/RFE now. No one can predict if yours will take extra time. Definitely disclose the prior petition and the criminal history, and provide all supporting evidence as required. Does not matter that it was non violent/expunged - you must still disclose it and submit all police/court documents.
  20. SalishSea
    Then that is entirely within your control, since you would have to fill out and sign a separate form for that. Sounds like they will need to seek a joint sponsor when the time comes, or an entirely different qualified petitioner. You may also want to bring to her attention that they will not be eligible for medicare or social security for many years (if at all, depending on whether they intend to work), and that bringing elderly parents over without a solid plan for funding their health care can lead to financial ruin.

    Unemployment is not a means-tested benefit. It is insurance that you and your employer pay into with each paycheck. Not sure what you are referring to in terms of retroactive laws, but I can't see any government agency seeking repayment for such. For example, even as tax laws are changed, it doesn't change the status of taxes paid/filed under previous law.
  22. SalishSea
    As the petitioner and sponsor, she will submit the I-864. She will sign that form and provide supporting documentation of her income. If you wanted to combine your income with hers, as a household member, you would submit the I-864A. Do you file federal taxes jointly? Immigration is expensive, and a reasonable expectation would be for her to get a job if she wants to sponsor immigrants.
  23. SalishSea
    Obviously someone didn't have an accurate grasp on her character prior to her coming over...
  24. SalishSea
    Nope. And now that she’s a USC, you’re off the hook for her I-864. Are you divorcing? You’ll need a good lawyer, but not related to immigration, as that chapter is done.
  25. SalishSea
    Why would you need the I-130?
