    It is absolutely because you're Iranian, nothing to do with Ottawa per se (unfortunately). May I ask what academic field you are in?

    They can't travel to the US as tourists and adjust status/get a green card. You need to petition them properly for an immigrant visa if you want them to stay.
  3. SalishSea
    Nope. All high fraud/high risk countries.

    US immigration fraud perpetuated by people from her country has contributed to the current level of scrutiny other applicants get.

    There is no "fastest possible" way. All legal ways involve a long wait. The sibling petition route is the longest - maybe 20 years. I doubt he could get a work visa with his background, but he can always try to find an employer willing to sponsor him. That route will also take years.
  6. SalishSea
    Strange timing. Expect scrutiny, as it seems like you want to get to the US asap in any way possible.
  7. SalishSea
    Not just not recommended, but fraudulent. You already have immigrant intent. Your choices are K-1 with AOS, or CR-1, regardless of whether the marriage takes place in the US or elsewhere.

    I think you're overthinking things. I agree with Mike, likely an RFE for the 2x2 photo, but not an out and out denial.

    Another option would be to attend and tell them in person that you do not wish to pursue the visa. Depending on the consulate, this may be possible to do via email.

    It's a bad idea because of such horrendous documentation and the potential for fraud. It would be better to marry legally and live together in her country to establish a bonafide marriage.

    Do you realize that the petition approval and visa availability are unrelated?
  12. SalishSea
    But to deliberately omit the info seems very risky.

    That’s not at all what you said in the original post.
  14. SalishSea
    Okay. You asked for feedback, so that’s what you’re getting. By all means, feel free to go for it. It is not a chance-based process, and no one else’s situation is relevant to yours.
  15. SalishSea
    I’d say chances are slim. F-1 is a nonimmigrant visa. You previously violated the terms of your nonimmigrant visa. They’ll assume you’ll do it again.

    Wow, thanks so much, Ro! I’ll send these ideas to him! The deforestation thing is very disturbing. I live in a suburb at sea level, and we now have bobcats, coyotes, black bears and cougars, where even a few years ago, we did not. Every square inch is being developed into housing, and there’s not even enough of that, either.

    He’s in Buenos Aires right now. I’m not sure exactly where they’re going (other than ferry to Uruguay), but he was walking through a park and saw some wild maras, and sent me a pic. They are so cute! I also love capybaras. Any recommendations?
  18. SalishSea
    Do you have a valid ESTA?
  19. SalishSea
    They can apply (you don’t apply for them/there is no petition or sponsorship), but their chances are low, because they’ve already demonstrated plans to immigrate, so why would they return home?

    US International airports could be like Vegas with drive up weddings on demand…..only with drive up divorce attorneys, circling like sharks just beyond baggage claim.
  21. SalishSea
    Omg, congratulations!! I’d totally missed this! Btw, my son just landed in beautiful Argentina this evening!
  22. SalishSea
    No. That's not how any of that works. SSN is for life. The type of visa issued at the embassy is inconsequential. What matters is duration of marriage on the date of POE. Yours was under two years and you were incorrectly issued the wrong GC. This is not a bonus freebie for you. You need to get it corrected, or face potentially dire consequences.
  23. SalishSea
    OP says she has not filed for AOS.
  24. SalishSea
    Except that they are not living there.
  25. SalishSea
    This is 100% immigration fraud. It could badly impact whatever US immigration future she's seeking. Do not do that. US immigration takes time and proper planning, and a lack of adequate planning does not justify committing fraud.
