    I think that person meant "formal" education. In other words, he has been in prison during the years when a person would normally pursue diplomas, degrees, trade/vocational certifications etc. Did he graduate from high school? MUCH better plan.

    Not just impede- it will VOID it because you will be ineligible. not sure where you’re getting the processing time info, but K-1 is no longer faster than CR-1, especially for high fraud consulates like yours. You have to look at the overall processing times, not just the petition approval.

    They would not need an officially sanctioned “conjugal” visit. Marriage “consummation” for USCIS purposes is being in one another’s presence in person. So, a situation where the prison permits supervised visits with guards present, etc would work for the purpose of the petition.

    The payoff for avoiding the queue at Montreal in this way is that your partner will not be able to work or travel. This would include emergency travel.

    There is nothing about US immigration that is quick. Unfortunately, if they won't accept the case as DCF, you're in the queue with everyone else.

    I have never heard of anything like that. If that is the case, it must be unique to CDJ.

    You may want to research basic immigration concepts like visas, petitions, and adjustment of status, because I think you have some confusion. Also, you can't apply for a B2 from within the US, and even if you could, that wouldn't solve the problem of there being no visa available to you. Please google the F2A and familiarize yourself with the visa bulletin.
  8. SalishSea
    Totally agree. Especially with the criminal background and young ages involved.
  9. SalishSea
    no.

    In that case, you still need to return home because a numerically limited visa number won’t be available to you for many years, and if you become out of status, you’ll be ineligible.
  11. SalishSea
    You can’t adjust status. You have to return to your country to wait out the admin processing.
  12. SalishSea
    In any case, it will add about a year to the wait time for a decision.

    Right, what I’m saying is that it is unlikely that a waiver would be approved since they have had vaccinations in the past. You can’t “pick and choose” which vaccinations you’ll get if your objection is moral/religious.
  14. SalishSea
    You should expect at least 20 years before there is any movement on these cases. Sibling visas are numerically limited, and there are hundreds of thousands in the queue before you.

    They do not do any type of medical testing at POE. I have only seen that endorsement relate to TB testing, as a cue to local health departments to follow up with immigrants who are on surveillance.
  16. SalishSea
    Have the wife/kids had other vaccines? If so, very unlikely they will get a waiver.

    I think the question of will it be “exposed to the public” is the least of your worries. Since the beneficiary’s country is Pakistan, with one short visit and a huge age difference, you can expect issues. We have seen hetero relationships (specifically much older female American with young Pakistani man) go through years of administrative processing due to suspicion of fraud. I would consider doing a Utah zoom wedding and/or spending much more time together in person before filing- otherwise you risk a NOIR.

    This is just the reality when you choose to have a long distance relationship. Most of us here have done it. It will be several years until he receives an immigrant visa, so best to plan your visits in such a way that you don’t compromise the B2 privilege.
  19. SalishSea
    How would he be able to afford that much time off as a tourist? That will be the question CBP has. B2 holders are not permitted to work at all in the U.S., even WFH/remotely.

    Europe is not a country. Your country of changeability for DV purposes is India.
  21. SalishSea
    This is only partly correct. The OP needs to find out specifically whether his/her educational credentials qualify to sit for NCLEX in the state where they will live.

    I feel like you did not understand what I wrote. You need to look at the specific requirements set by the board of nursing of the state where you want to live. So, for example if you are going to live in California, you would look at the requirements for foreign-trained RNs to become licensed in California. Every state has it's own board of nursing. Google yours.

    You will need to look at the requirements of the board of nursing in the state where you want to be licensed.

    It’s not forgiven when married. As the Cat said, marriage itself confers no immigration status. You have to properly file the forms if you want to stay in the U.S. legally.

    As long as you did not lie to the border agent about your plans when you arrived, you should be okay.
