    It is extremely unusual for a USC petitioner to be called for biometrics. Any red flags in your past?

    What do you mean “the I-130 is for the baby”?

    Adopting to circumvent immigration laws screams of fraud to me….

    It's based on the totality of circumstances. If you're marginal, trying to time a petition submission around the federal poverty guidelines does not make sense. You're better off seeking a well qualified joint sponsor, or trying to improve your income.

    How is he able to take 6 months off? The consulate will wonder about this. You may want to temper your hopes, as he could well be rejected for a B visa.

    The fees changed on April 1st. If you don't send the correct fee, it will be rejected and returned.

    Or better yet, let the courts decide. It is not reasonable or legal for a custodial parent to withhold court mandated visitation time for that reason.

    There is no visa available to your brother that will take less than the timeframe you've been quoted. Nothing in US immigration is quick. If it truly is urgent, you may want to look into sending her home so that she can be looked after in her own country.

    Do you understand that it is a numerically limited visa category?
  10. SalishSea
    What do you mean? The fees are the fees, you can't do some fancy filing trick to avoid them.

    Listen to Boiler. He is an eternal optimist when it comes to waivers.
  12. SalishSea
    Very much doubt it. Waivers for the K-1 meeting requirement are HARDLY EVER granted. You will need to find a way to meet in person if you want to petition someone.

    You can’t overcome reasons for denial by refiling. Do you really think there is no record-keeping in USCIS/department of state??? You may want to plan to move to his country if you want to live together.

    I don’t think you understand what notaries actually do. They do not certify the authenticity of documents, only the issuing jurisdiction can do that via “certified copy.”
  15. SalishSea
    Why didn’t he file a petition for you 4 months ago when you inquired, if it’s so urgent?
  16. SalishSea
    You are not understanding the process at all. You need to do some reading based on the feedback people have given you in your multiple threads, rather than just dismissing the info you don’t like to hear. And no, you cannot show up on a visitor visa expecting to be admitted to adjust status. That’s 100% FRAUD. You need to be petitioned for a spousal visa like everyone else.
  17. SalishSea
    It can, yes, depending on the consulate involved and the age difference.

    Sorry, but your situation is not an emergency. Most lumps are not cancer. Get the mammogram, bring a friend if you need to. Insist (to insurance/MD/whoever) that you want a 3D tomosynthesis mammogram, and ask for it to be read while you wait. Some breast centers do this. Do this now, do not wait. Even if you had been approved for the expedite, it wouldn't have meant that your husband would be here tomorrow. Do not wait "a few months."

    That isn’t an immigration issue, but it is covered by local and international laws. You definitely need an experienced lawyer.
  20. SalishSea
    Totally agree. I was pointing it out so that hopefully the OP would confirm that it was an adjustment from ESTA. Hard to have sympathy with that choice, since the effect is circumventing the lines.
  21. SalishSea
    Sorry, it’s too late to edit this. I was thinking ROC vs AOS. As others are saying OP, you cannot adjust status via any route other than your marriage. Sorry to hear about the situation.
  22. SalishSea
    You can divorce and switch to a divorce waiver so that you self-sponsor. In the meantime, you’re out of status and deportable. do you have an attorney?
  23. SalishSea
    Well, separation is part of the deal with immigration. Most of us weee separated for MUCH longer than that.
  24. SalishSea
    They don’t really reveal such info, but I would guess they check whatever databases were checked in the interim since the previous checks. They are looking for updates.
  25. SalishSea
    Have you checked the visa bulletin? For 4th preference family visas, the petition approval time isn’t relevant to the visa availability, since they are numerically limited. She probably has another 10-15 years to go.
