  1. Exactly. That is the point we are trying to make…..
  2. LOL…..tickets are in no way “proof” of return. You have some very strange ideas.
  3. Due to concerns about fraud, I think there will be more to this process- even if it’s just a repeat of DNA at a consulate-approved lab.
  4. She was denied for immigrant intent. Unless something has changed to strengthen her ties to home (US bf= weak ties to home), she’ll be denied again. You will probably need to go there to visit, and you should absolutely spend much more time in person before submitting a petition for a fiancé visa.
  5. NEVER purchase flights to the U.S. before the visa is in hand.
  6. TB test result from years ago will be irrelevant.
  7. Yeah, sending money abroad to someone you've never met is not something we would ever advise.
  8. No, best bet is to meet elsewhere.
  9. Very unlikely she would get a tourist visa. Have you petitioned her for a fiancé visa? Sounds like you have bigger issues here.
  10. Does he still have the passport containing the old J visa? 2 year requirement, if applicable, is printed right on the visa.
  11. If you’re wondering about a medical/health inadmissibility, then no, it is not a reason for that. I wasn’t sure about the meaning of your last sentence, but if you are saying that your USC fiancé will be able to provide you with health insurance via an employer, that’s excellent! Everyone coming to the U.S. needs health insurance, regardless of past medical/surgical history. ,
  12. You can blame Pakistan for its lack of central criminal records and generally poor record-keeping. It’s so bad, it’s one of the few countries the U.S. doesn’t require a police certificate from for immigrant visas- such certificates would be useless.
  13. This is incorrect. You cannot combine incomes with a joint sponsor. And your “assumption” is also incorrect. I know you’re just trying to be helpful, but you are actually dispensing wrong information here. OP, I gave you the correct answer in your other thread on the same topic, which I’ve asked the mods to merge.
  14. The company wanting to hire you should have their own immigration employment lawyer, who will know what the requirements are.
  15. Make sure you have a solid plan inn place for their health care. They won’t be eligible for Medicare.
  16. Are you petitioning a fiancé? You are the sponsor. You may be able to use an eligible joint sponsor. The I134/I865 with all supporting documentation (Tax transcripts, payslips, employer letters etc) will be required from both you and the joint sponsor. You may want to look at getting a better job, or a second job even. Bringing over someone who won't be eligible to work for upwards of 8 months is impractical on poverty line wages. You will also need to look into providing health insurance for that person.
  17. You will be responsible for spousal support/child support (if any) as per your state’s family law.
  18. To clarify what I meant: Just because someone from a non-VWP country obtains a new EU citizenship, doesn’t mean ESTA is a sure thing. The reasons for AP for the prior B application are not “erased.” And having a prior visa denial greatly diminishes the chance of ever being eligible for ESTA.
  19. So you’ll get extra scrutiny because he adjusted on a nonimmigrant visa.
  20. It’s fraud for someone to enter the U.S. on a B visa with the intention to adjust status. Marriage itself confers no immigration benefit. You need to petition her for an immigrant visa.
  21. The extra vetting is because you are Pakistani. Withdrawing and reapplying does not eliminate the reasons for the background checks. If the B-2 is denied, you won’t be eligible for ESTA even if you obtain a new citizenship. How did your brother get his U.S. citizenship, and the green card before that?
  22. How will you support an immigrant? Are you aware that it could be 8 months before he/she is allowed to work? What if your partner needs medical care?
