    Do not give rehearsed answers that you think are expected. Always answer truthfully!

    What is the plan for supporting an immigrant?
  3. SalishSea
    Not common at all. What country? Some high-fraud countries have very high rates of falsified documents. Can you obtain a high quality certified birth certificate? You'll need to elaborate on the story here for meaningful help.

    I have seen @Boiler say it tends to be > one year, not sure if that is currently the case.
  5. SalishSea
    Expedites are hard to come by, but you can certainly apply. It's free.

    Just to clarify for OP- any medical exam you voluntarily get now will not be accepted for immigration purposes. You cannot get an immigration exam until your case is at the consulate. The 2023 taxes will be due long before you need the transcript.

    There is nothing that I’m aware of that will speed up the process. Obtaining criminal records too early just means they will be outdated when you eventually need them. You can’t just randomly go get biometrics.
  8. SalishSea
    Right, you’d have no evidence of status, so no. Or are you referring to returning on VWP?
  9. SalishSea
    Well yes, except in one of your comments you state that you want to live in the US. So which is it? You need to decide. You can’t use a B to live in the US, and you can’t spend years away and expect to keep the green card. If you had used the green card properly, you could have been a citizen by now, which would enable you to have the back and forth lifestyle.

    All of those will be barriers to your ability to support an immigrant. With a dodgy request for a medical expedite on your record, it will be very interesting to see how you plan to pay for your wife’s medical care once she’s here. Hopefully you realize that she won’t be eligible for public benefits, and that you’re 100% responsible for her.
  11. SalishSea
    Not happening. Doctors will not put their name on some fabricated or falsified document. You’re grasping at straws.
  12. SalishSea
    Yeah, that’s not how that works, as romantic as it sounds.
  13. SalishSea
    If “left untreated”? Why would treatment be dependent on whether your visa was expedited? That is not an emergency situation, and I would expect an expedite request to be denied . The only solution is for her to seek medical care in her country. They will not expedite for a non-emergency medical condition of beneficiary.

    There is no timeline for AP. It can be months, or years, especially being from Pakistan.
  15. SalishSea
    The USC needs to file the petition- not you. A lawyer cannot help with AP. Syrians are heavily vetted, and there is no way around that. If you are not married, you cannot be petitioned for a CR-1.

    This thread is bizarrely going around in circles. OP, bottom line: you currently LIVE in the United States. There is therefore NO domicile issue. You do NOT qualify for DCF. Things have changed since 2009. If you want to bring your spouse here, file a petition and join the queue like everyone else. If you don’t qualify to sponsor an immigrant, get a joint sponsor, like everyone else. I don’t get why you’re making it so complicated and focusing on a petition that never led to a visa 14 years ago. I recommend you read the guides at the top of the page on how to sponsor a spouse for an immigrant visa. Yes, there is waiting involved and no way around that.
  17. SalishSea
    They won't re-open a case that was closed to to your inactivity. If it had been THEIR error, then maybe. You're grasping at straws here.
  18. SalishSea
    Living separately in your situation is risky, IMHO.
  19. SalishSea
    Then you've already received your answer to this question. Not sure what more you're looking for here.
  20. SalishSea
    Jeez. OP, time to stop trying to circumvent legal immigration for your wife's family. This is the very behavior that makes it difficult for legitimate travelers from her country. That assumes it is answered truthfully.
  21. SalishSea
    It’s not the names, it’s the lack of centralized, accurate criminal record keeping in Pakistan. Same reason the NVC does not require a PCC from Pakistan.
  22. SalishSea
    No.
  23. SalishSea
    I sent unsolicited evidence to the California Service Center’s Laguna Niguel address. Make sure you enclose a copy of your receipt notice for reference, in the hopes that it finds its way to the petition (ours did, no problem). We also wrote a short but very clear cover letter explaining what we were sending.
  24. SalishSea
    If Pakistan, then no.
  25. SalishSea
    That type of educational/occupational background (plus being Russian) has likely led to the AP/background checks/ vetting. You may receive a form DS- 5535. There is nothing to be done but wait it out.
