    Don't wait. Have her get her surgery now. They won't expedite for that reason, anyway. Also: PLEASE make sure you have adequate health insurance for when she does arrive. If it is cancer, she will need very expensive, ongoing treatments, and she will not be eligible for medicaid or anything of that nature.

    That is normal. Immigrants often petition for spouses from their same country or region.

    They don't deny visas "just because they feel like it," nor based on race. If that was the case, no one from Lagos would get a visa. That said, there is a LOT of fraud out of Lagos. It's in a category of it's own when it comes to US immigration fraud. You can appeal. It will take several years. In the meantime, it would bode well for your appeal if you moved there to be with your wife. That would show credibility to your marriage, and help to assuage doubts if they suspect it is a green card marriage.

    Word on the street is that no F-1s are being approved, and previously approved ones are being revoked. That said, OP it is a VERY bad idea to either like or lie by omission about your USC spouse. You are required to disclose family in the US. They already know, anyway - think of it as a test as to your credibility.

    If you have cash to burn, go for it. Applying immediately after a denial with no change in circumstances will not likely end differently.

    Seeing the CEAC status change to "issued."

    The Peace Arch/Blaine crossing from US into Canada is now doing exit checks on the US side...

    2002??

    Why is the petitioner not providing his own divorce decree?
  10. SalishSea
    Totally agree.

    Vetting and background checks are always relevent.

    With immigrant intent, she will need to convince them of her ties to home and plan to return home after vacation.

    Entirely depends upon the consulate/country, and whether there are other red flags in your case. If you want meaningful feedback, please do a timeline.

    We submitted zero photos, and were approved without any problems.

    If you have removal orders, you absolutely need an immigration lawyer. This is way beyond the scope of Visa Journey.

    Kiwi needs to do the same thing, but currently the passport office still has his original naturalization certificate.... 4 weeks today since they received the application, so hopefully soon.

    Your parents not knowing about your older American wife of 4 years is a big red flag.

    OP, is there a language barrier here? I think you should return to the Mailboxes, etc and ask for your paperwork back. Documents intended for the US consulate in London need to be mailed properly. If they put it in a drawer, it's not going to get there. You will not get the visa if you don't properly provide the documents requested.

    Requesting a CV can be part of the vetting process for any US visa. Were you born in a different country than the UK? What were the consulate's specific instructions for submitting your CV? I agree with Jeanne, it seems that you dropped it off at a mailing place without a properly addressed envelope, so I'm not sure what they would do with that.
  20. SalishSea
    It sounds like an error. Have you tried emailing the consulate directly?

    Was not smart of her to have lied about ANYTHING asked in the visa interviews, no matter how trivial. Often they ask questions they already know the answers to…

    There is a lot of chatter on social media about the use of "burner phones" to conceal info from USCIS, DHS, CBP etc. So, I expect they're cracking down on fraud by looking closer at phones as well as at social media content. Most people (depending on age) will have an expected volume and type of content on their phones. If she did not, they would wonder why.
  23. SalishSea
    This is the reason. Extra vetting for Pakistanis due to a variety of issues.

    Good questions. The bar for domicile is very consulate-specific. Montreal, for example, is very strict. I'm not sure about MNL. Perhaps @Crazy Cat, or one of the other mods would want to move this thread to the Philippines-specific subform.

    Same sex marriage is still legal in all 50 states. This could change. Visa applications are adjudicated using US law, even in countries where the prevailing laws are different.
