    Even if granted, expedite takes well longer than 7 days.

    About 30 years, give or take. No expedites for numerically limited petitions.

    Why is his mom so involved in all of this if he’s 29? He’s a grown-### man. He needs to step up and start acting like an adult.

    You can marry anywhere, but the CR-1 visa is definitely the way to go. It will take up to two years. Unfortunately, since entering the US on a tourist visa with the intent to stay and adjust status is immigration fraud, separation is an inevitable part of the process for almost everyone.

    Your story does not make sense. Did you or did you not already petition your mother for an immigrant visa?
  6. SalishSea
    You can ask for the mods to close the thread.
  7. SalishSea
    Sounds like OP thinks there is still a chance of getting this visa.
  8. SalishSea
    Very doubtful.

    If money is not an issue, you can easily hire someone to help your mother. Your sister needs to be petitioned properly to come here.

    Of course, and I’d never advocate lying. I’ve always just wondered how they keep tabs on entries and departures, even of USCs.

    Hopefully you have good insurance for your mom, and a surgeon willing to do that surgery on an 80 year old. Your sister can apply, but the “emergency” situations for tourist visas are for life and death situations for someone in the US, and your mom is not in the US.

    What you’ve made “up to this point” is past income. You need to calculate your current income and provide supporting documentation in the form of W2s. If your income is marginal, I’d recommend having a joint sponsor lined up.

    Perhaps it is undergoing extra scrutiny because you are attempting to adjust from an ESTA and while out of status.
  14. SalishSea
    But, you always say they can’t deny entry to LPRs? Also- with no exit controls, how do they know when an LPR leaves the country for say, 9 years, like that one case? Just passenger manifest info?
  15. SalishSea
    This is immigration fraud, and jeopardizes your entire case. Not smart.
  16. SalishSea
    How are you eligible for ESTA?
  17. SalishSea
    There is no “love story” requirement. It’s simply a statement of intent to marry the other person.

    Have you signed up for informed delivery with the USPS? It's a great way to be able to track incoming mail. It's free. On the day my husband's new 10 year GC was set to arrive, I was able to plan to fetch the mail right when it was delivered.

    I owned my house before getting married. We included nothing in our packet regarding the house itself, or mortgage. We did include jointly paid household bills as well as jointly owned vehicles. No RFEs or interview. I don't think we even wrote a cover letter.
  20. SalishSea
    Yes. Strange and inappropriate for that setting.
  21. SalishSea
    Brutal? Now that sounds like a bit of an exaggeration. CBP has the final say for admission of ANY person at the border, regardless of what visa or documentation they present. Acting entitled won't get you far. You have to follow the rules, have your funding and housing in order well before arriving at the US border, and agree to the terms of the visa (i.e. not working, not immigrating). Also, you're 100% responsible for the content of the DS-160, and for understanding your own visa process.
  22. SalishSea
    How?
  23. SalishSea
    Good catch! Seems like OP really doesn't understand the process.
  24. SalishSea
    LOL OP, who is this email addressed to? As far as I know, there is no "appeal" for a revoked nonimmigrant visa. You were deemed to have immigrant intent, and rightly denied. That is how it works.
  25. SalishSea
    I'd come up with a plan B if I were you. I don't see any type of nonimmigrant visa to the US in your future. If you actually had the cash for a US degree, you will have the resources to explore programs elsewhere.
