    Absolutely, if you want an immigrant visa. The marriage must be legal in the state where you intend to reside.

    Do NOT lie about being cousins. You will NOT get away with it. If you want to marry your cousin and get an immigrant visa for her, you will 100% have to live in a state that allows cousin marriage. This is non-negotiable, and it applies so whether you go the K-1 or CR-1 route.
  3. SalishSea
    Yes.

    Petitioner must provide criminal records if there are any. Beneficiary will need police clearance. Both need to show evidence of final termination of prior marriages. These are requirements for the petition though, not the consulate. Some consulates will ask for further evidence of the parent-child relationship (beyond petition requirements), but you will not know until the interview.
  5. SalishSea
    What do you mean “your” interview? Or are you hoping to attend the beneficiary’s visa interview? What were you arrested for?

    So when you overstayed he was not yet a citizen?
  7. SalishSea
    Not the address itself, but not being domiciled in the US definitely could delay things.

    What Family (who is one of the kinder VJ members, in fact) is saying is that the consulate will not spoon-feed you the requirements to overcome this inadmissibility. Why? Well, because honestly that is not their job. If he really does want to immigrate to the U.S., it is 100% your husband’s responsibility to figure out his next step by contacting the clinic where he had the medical exam. Neither the clinic nor the United States consulate will be proactive about it- it’s entirely up to the applicant. I'm sure it’s frustrating for you to be trying to do this on his behalf, but really he needs to step up and take an active role in this, since it is entirely down to his choices.

    As the biggest stakeholder in all of this, it is his sole responsibility to comply with the terms of US immigrant visas if he wants to live here. Just passively waiting a year and expecting it to “all work out” seems naive at best. You may want to look at relocating both of you to a different part of Columbia if you want your family to be reunited. I don’t foresee a different outcome a year from now.

    You’ll need to replace the lost one. As to your other question, the residency rules for naturalizing are not going to be waived because you write a cover letter asking for that.
  11. SalishSea
    Not sure how a visa application could be done remotely. Don’t they all require biometrics?
  12. SalishSea
    You thought wrong. You’ll also be required to submit police checks from your country of origin, and anywhere else you’ve lived. Medical history will be documented via the exam. It sure sounds like you’re trying to hide something from the U.S. government, which could make you inadmissible? If so, don’t bother. They’ll find it.

    The OP answered previously. It’s Pakistan.

    US citizens are not eligible for immigrant visas. Have you looked at the link provided, as suggested? You need to start there to begin to understand this process.
  15. SalishSea
    No, he will need to obtain it.
  16. SalishSea
    1) Obviously 2) You mean, in the form of the medical exam, as required for all immigrant visas?
  17. SalishSea
    Right, you didn't fill the form out correctly. So now you have to file the I-824, along with the fee ($465 now?). It could take an additional year to get the the point of an interview.

    Lack of understanding of one of the many roles of elected reps: assisting US citizens (their voter base) who live in their constituency with federal agencies.
  19. SalishSea
    Missed this until @Timona pointed it out. OP, this is absurd. Congressional representatives represent their constituents. Is your FIL a constituent? NO. Please don't waste taxpayer dollars on something frivolous. He has NO rights to a tourist visa. He has the right to apply, and that's it. Even if there were grounds to contact the rep for a legitimate reason, they will not interfere in a consular decision. I feel like you don't really understand the process here.

    She won’t be considered an LPR until she arrives in the U.S. with an immigrant visa.
  21. SalishSea
    I don’t think you can be residents of both, especially in terms of things like provincial health benefits, etc. @Ontarkie
  22. SalishSea
    Hopefully by now you realize that they already know he has family in the US, and that omitting that info to deliberately deceive and say he wants to “visit Disney” is a really dumb idea, and actually decreases any small chance he may have left of getting a visa?
  23. SalishSea
    Sounds like she’s assuming it will be added to her I-130 petition at the CSC.
  24. SalishSea
    Again, they’ll be subject to whatever CBP decides at the airport, in terms of duration. Visiting once a year or so should be fine. Also good to know- they’d have no basis to adjust status on that B visa anyway, since it will be years before your wife is eligible to naturalize.

    Marijuana remains federally illegal in the U.S., despite being legal in some states. Sorry, but your fiancé will have to prioritize immigrating over using if he wants that visa.
