    This is excellent info and should be pinned, since it comes up so often on VJ.

    Right, it's a big consideration for anyone contemplating bringing elderly parents here. I would start doing some math. Luckily, you have several years to plan.

    She can’t come in on VWP/B visa with the intent to adjust status. When you’re a citizen, you can petition her for an immigrant visa (leads to a GC- no need for EAD). Hopefully she/you have significant financial resources to pay for her health insurance.

    You should seek better and more accurate info than "a guy once told me." It will be many, many years before your brother can come to the US. Up to 30 years, so file the petition and then forget about it.

    I don't see how it would make a difference, as there is no 'reset' with a new fiscal year since those visa classes are not numerically limited. It's not a matter of caring. It's a matter of huge numbers of applicants for your consulate.

    What do you mean "work holiday visa"?
  7. SalishSea
    She wants to immigrate, therefore the F-1 is not an appropriate visa. I don't see any basis for an expedite. Expediting because you don't want to wait the designated processing time is not possible. Expediting F2A and other numerically limited visas is not possible. Seems like you're grasping at straws for a way around the current processing times and available visa types. Waiting and following the rules is just part of US immigration. If that doesn't work for you, another option would be to move back to Nigeria.

    Why do you think he needs a waiver? Was he deported?

    What is your plan to provide her with health insurance, since she will not be eligible for medicare? Does she have substantial retirement savings?
  10. SalishSea
    What country?
  11. SalishSea
    You need a good lawyer.

    This is absolutely incorrect. My husband has not filed an N-400, and his I-751 was approved after 18 months. No interview, no RFEs. He originally adjusted from a K-1.

    OP, your biggest issue will be with the consular interview (vs CBP). India has a history of misuse/fraud for the K-1, precisely because historically it was much faster, so married people tried to go that route to "be together asap." As in every aspect of US immigration, we are impacted by the actions of our fellow countrymen who went before us. Since you can't prove a negative (i.e that you are not married), it could go either way at the interview, IMHO.

    Kind of moot since they included them all in the K-1 packet.
  15. SalishSea
    Yes

    I assume by “sailing visa” you mean C/D visa. He can’t use that for the purpose of tourism. With the denied ESTA, his only option is to apply for a B2 visa.

    There is no central marriage registry in the United States, either on the state or federal level.
  18. SalishSea
    Actually, I don’t think you do understand the visa bulletin…..
  19. SalishSea
    So did she lie to CBP about her intentions?
  20. SalishSea
    Lol……kind of a big deal. If you have no evidence of dissolution of prior marriages, the petition will be denied.
  21. SalishSea
    I think OP has mistaken Tier 2 for "officer."
  22. SalishSea
    You will want to make sure you give them absolutely EVERYTHING. Even if the actual crimes/arrests/infractions are not enough to impact the case, failing to provide documentation could cause a denial. We have seen that happen here on VJ.
  23. SalishSea
    We did a K-1. No one (from the county marriage license office staff to the wedding officiant) asked to see any documentation related to immigration status. My husband used his unexpired NZ passport as picture ID until he was able to get a Washington state drivers license.
  24. SalishSea
    There are no grandkid visas.

    What officer?
