    Currently still $1225.

    If what you mean by this is that one of your siblings has also filed a separate petition for you, then that's great, and that is likely the route you'll go. There is no stepping in as "substitute sponsor" for the existing petition, if that's what you meant though. I think your original petition is gone, and I do not see any humanitarian aspect to your situation as described.

    Similarly, it doesn’t ask if you were handcuffed and taken to a cell. yes, it will be a big issue that your police record negates your answer on the petition. see the case of @John & Rose.

    I know your wife is excited to travel, but it seems unnecessarily risky in this situation- especially to stay out for several months???? I certainly would not do that until the GC was issued.

    Hopefully you have a plan for his health care? He will lose his provincial coverage, and will not be eligible to buy into Medicare for 5 years.

    It was shorter years and years ago, but not in 2023.

    So that was obviously not USCIS' fault, right? Maybe USPS will offer some type of insurance reimbursement. You should definitely report it as lost to USCIS. I don't think there is any way around the I-90 processing fee or time, although you could request an expedite.
  8. SalishSea
    Yep, that petition is over and done with. Meet and marry, or meet and submit a petition. The meeting requirement is absolute.

    Do you mean that he will go home to interview abroad?
  10. SalishSea
    OP, personally I'd go for the expedite request to start. You never know. Best wishes.
  11. SalishSea
    @OldUseris correct. Request expedite, or abandon the AOS process and be petitioned. The possible bar refers to whether you accrued presence whilst out of status.
  12. SalishSea
    Sorry to hear, but this is a well-known drawback or tradeoff to adjusting status, rather than going the consular processing route....
  13. SalishSea
    No. There is no "changing" from a conditional to 10 year GC. You should begin reading about the process known as Removal of Conditions, which you will be able to start in around 2 years. Getting a GC and then immediately deciding to not use it as intended (to reside permanently in the US) definitely complicates things.
  14. SalishSea
    Good point. OP, did you overstay the ESTA before filing?
  15. SalishSea
    Right. You have abandoned your AOS and ESTA is gone. Spouse needs to petition you for an IR/CR-1 visa. I understand that by adjusting from VWP, you may have been hoping to avoid the visa queue, but a trade-off of avoiding that is that you can’t come and go until you have a GC.

    It does not matter when you sent it, what matters is when it was received.
  17. SalishSea
    Your only choice would be to refile. If the requested evidence wasn’t received by their deadline, an appeal will be futile, as it was not their error.
  18. SalishSea
    That doesn't sound right. What makes you think the application hadn't been accepted? Accepted just means received and not rejected, a process that happens a week after you mail it. I have never heard of requesting a change to consular processing by sending a letter to USCIS. I think you would have to use an I-824.

    If MIT is your goal, you may want to write using proper spelling, grammar and syntax. The shorthand ("ur", "n" for and etc) you use in your posts is not typically used by adults in the United States.
  20. SalishSea
    1) He was making conversation. He doesn't care whether you apply to MIT. 2) If you want to attend MIT or other university in the US, you need an F1, NOT a B visa. 3) If you truly just want to visit for tourism purposes, why are you so anxious and posting the same questions over an over, and why fixate on the conversation with CBP?
  21. SalishSea
    This was an American just making conversation with you. You are reading way too much into it.
  22. SalishSea
    What an odd statement. They have created a mess for themselves by lying on the forms. They will be required to show either evidence of that marriage or evidence of a divorce.
  23. SalishSea
    No. The AP is done when the status changes to "ISSUED."
  24. SalishSea
    There is no "re-sending." YOU can file ADDITIONAL petitions for them. It will take a year, but they will get visas faster than in the family preference category.
  25. SalishSea
    Do you understand how the Visa Bulletin works? I feel like you do not, so I suggest reading up on it.
