    A preference for US health care appropriate to a person of retirement age would not qualify as a “medical emergency.”

    What did you send that they are rejecting? Some type of digital file?

    You can divorce without the other party “complying.” What state are you in? People get divorced without the other party’s participation all the time.

    Right, the petition is approved. Sibling visas are numerically limited, so a visa number will not be available for MANY years. Are you familiar with the visa bulletin?
  5. SalishSea
    Yes, you said that. But what inadmissibility is it for?
  6. SalishSea
    Nothing will happen for 25 years or more.
  7. SalishSea
    When did you file?

    He should ask his lawyer this question. What is the waiver for? Did he ever claim to be a U.S. citizen?

    Immigration is federal, no state involvement whatsoever. I recommend seeking out info such as form fees from official sources (USCIS.gov) vs “online,” social media etc. Had you done so, you would have known about the April 1 fee increases.

    You can travel with a valid ESTA. My husband visited while our I-129F petition was still at CSC. He maintained a home, job and family in NZ while visiting, and brought evidence to support that.

    She can't, that is FRAUD. She would need to lie at CBP about intent to be admitted on a B with plans to adjust - not recommended! She needs to be petitioned properly for an immigrant visa. The info for how to petition a family member is here on VJ in the guides. Also - you will need to figure out how she/you will pay for health care when she eventually gets here. She will not be eligible for Medicare obviously. The premiums for the plans she will be eligible for will be >$1k/month.

    Didn’t realize the U.S. would bother to confirm what specific country the J holder resided in, as long as it was not the U.S.
  13. SalishSea
    You cannot apply for that visa until you have an approved I-130 petition and approval from the national visa center. Your USC spouse needs to petition you, so I suggest they join VJ and begin researching the process. It is not easy or fast.

    How are you eligible for an ESTA if you’re not yet a Canadian citizen?
  15. SalishSea
    Yes, but why would you? CR-1 makes WAY more sense in your situation.
  16. SalishSea
    I’m confused- Why would you need a waiver if you spent > two years outside of the U.S. after leaving on the J status?
  17. SalishSea
    “The government” doesn’t make you do anything. The wait time is what it is because of the huge volumes of people who filed and got in the queue before you did. There is a lot of waiting involved with all aspects of US immigration.

    It’s the 3 shot series for lifetime immunity. In other words, you could have had the series as an infant (in the U.S., babies get the 1st one at birth).

    Are you sure they haven’t been issued an NTA? Someone so casual about removing conditions also wouldn’t likely bother to submit a change of address to USCIS.

    You will have at least one interview, possibly a combo. ROC is often approved without one, especially if you had one for the conditional (two year) GC. One thing to keep in mind (there was recently a denial for someone who apparently did not realize) is that since your case is via marriage, your spouse must attend any interview you do have.
  21. SalishSea
    The process is called ROC- Removal of Conditions. I suggest you start by reading the guides and then asking specific questions. The paperwork can be submitted 90 days prior to the two year anniversary of “resident since” date on the green card. In your case, that would likely be in 2/2025.
  22. SalishSea
    As long as she did not lie to CBP about her intention to visit (vs adjust status), shouldn’t be an issue.
  23. SalishSea
    There is absolutely no way to know. If you are travelling to high-fraud, high-risk countries, then yes, I imagine there will be related background checks. The embassy will not give you a definitive answer. You are free to travel, which may or may not create delays to getting a decision on your case.
  24. SalishSea
    Not only that, but the risk to the American public far outweighs the inconvenience of temporary separation to a green card holder and green card applicant spouse.
  25. SalishSea
    Right….what happened to you aging out?
