    Was there a reason you went with a lawyer, let alone a TikTok one? Most of us here have done everything DIY: you can’t pay someone enough to care about your case as much as you do. also not sure what you mean by “we are submitting to Dublin Ireland embassy.” The way that it works is after USCIS approves the petition, your documentation is submitted to the department of state (NVC), which dispatches it to the consulate when the file is complete.
  2. SalishSea
    USCIS absolutely will conduct background checks on the petitioner.

    Like all nonimmigrant visa applicants, YOU will be required to show evidence of a plan to return to your country - the burden for that is entire on you. Yes, you have a pending immigrant case.
  4. SalishSea
    Well, yes. You are prepared to swear that you will return to your country with no intention to immigrate, and yet you have an immigrant visa filed on your behalf. See the disconnect here?
  5. SalishSea
    But can you see how this would be a very low priority for USCIS, who is inundated with both serious and frivolous expedite cases? There is no emergency here.
  6. SalishSea
    Obviously answer all questions accurately and truthfully.

    What not just get married in that case? K-1 is not a smart choice if you have financial issues, since you won’t be able to work for many months, up to one year.
  8. SalishSea
    Also not an emergency though.
  9. SalishSea
    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.
  12. SalishSea
    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?
  13. SalishSea
    Yes, you said that. But what inadmissibility is it for?
  14. SalishSea
    Nothing will happen for 25 years or more.
  15. SalishSea
    When did you file?
  16. SalishSea
    He should ask his lawyer this question. What is the waiver for? Did he ever claim to be a U.S. citizen?
  17. SalishSea
    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.
  21. 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.
  22. SalishSea
    How are you eligible for an ESTA if you’re not yet a Canadian citizen?
  23. SalishSea
    Yes, but why would you? CR-1 makes WAY more sense in your situation.
  24. 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?
  25. 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.
