    PLEASE follow the guides. Please read the official instructions that accompany the forms on USCIS.gov. It's fine to ask questions here, but for your own peace of mind, please do your own due diligence in researching this process.

    Yes, meant as a general observation, not necessarily OP's. I'm sure the advent of international dating apps and gaming has contributed to international relationships, which are expensive and time consuming to develop and maintain.

    There is a certain demographic of aged petitioners who seek out young, primarily Asian brides. Some of the country-specific subforums are chock-a-block with them.

    This is the problem when people marry and petition foreign spouses after one or two in-person vacations together. Really not surprising that it was never enough time to build a foundation for a lifetime.

    I didn’t say you’re petitioning her. I said you’re petitioning the rest of her family, which will reduce her chances of getting a non-immigrant visa.

    Since you say she’s already sick and you’re living paycheck to paycheck, you will want to thoroughly research what it will cost for her to have health insurance coverage here in the US, and whether you/she can afford it. Even if she’s eligible for Medicare or state Medicaid, the premiums and treatment co-pays can be hundreds or thousands $$ per month.

    It’s clear from your other post that you are petitioning your entire family, so I’d be surprised if the consulate would believe your sister would return to Pakistan.

    She cannot work remotely while in the U.S, without EAD.

    Okay, I think you’ll get some scrutiny from that, especially if the immigrant is using means-tested benefits.

    I don’t understand how you could lose a 551- isn’t it a stamp in your passport? How do you travel without your passport?
  11. SalishSea
    Food stamps and medical assistance? How are you able to support an immigrant if you’re under the poverty line?

    Your best bet for relieving your I-864 contract with the US govt, as mentioned above, is for her to become a USC.

    A messy divorce doesn't equate to GC fraud. Obviously you previously provided evidence of a bonafide marriage. See the issue there?
  14. SalishSea
    You missed the point - it was about why she couldn't naturalize under the 3 year rule as your spouse......
  15. SalishSea
    Then why must your wife wait 5 years? Doesn’t make sense.
  16. SalishSea
    Assuming you meet all of the eligibility requirements, you can submit a petition, yes. Will you ultimately be successful getting the visa? That’s dependent upon many other factors.
  17. SalishSea
    Work Visa is a long shot for many reasons….

    Politicians do not approve or deny petitions or waivers. That is the job of USCIS.

    You will want to read up on the financial sponsorship and domicile requirements so you can plan accordingly.
  20. SalishSea
    This is incorrect.

    Unfortunately, it takes some effort, and deliberately commingling financials is what most people do. That said, we had no problems even though my husband is not on the deed to my house, since I owned it prior to marriage. We did have joint accounts, jointly owned assets, and each other as beneficiaries.
  22. SalishSea
    Been that way for years, since they closed all of the USCIS international offices.
  23. SalishSea
    I believe the official approval time currently on USCIS is around 13 months. Could be shorter or longer obviously. Time spent at NVC is mostly dependent upon consulate.
  24. SalishSea
    At this point, you have no choice but to wait for it.
  25. SalishSea
    No. If you're under AP for your visa renewal, the old visa would be voided.
