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. -
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.
-
Living separately in your situation is risky, IMHO.
-
Then you've already received your answer to this question. Not sure what more you're looking for here.
-
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.

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.

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.

Police Certificate for Parents

If Pakistan, then no. -
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.
-
Even if approved, it will not eliminate the sometimes lengthy AP/background checks Pakistanis go through, just fyi.
-
Well, yeah. Fees and rules are different than they were 14 years ago.
-
Her family’s attitude is exactly why people from their country who legitimately want to visit face higher rates of visa denials.
-
That was answered in your previous thread. I still suggest you get a lawyer, since you seem to have much trouble understanding US immigration.
-
Adjusting status on a nonimmigrant visa has its drawbacks later on when relatives want B visas. He was rightly denied.
-
Nope. If the principal applicant does not want to go, the idea of immigration ends there. The timing will not work. Winning the DV is very, very unlikely anyway.
-
How could you both go for biometrics at the same time? Isn’t the beneficiary in her own country? Petitioners are very rarely required to do biometrics, so there won’t be a lot of first hand experience here at VJ. You just have to wait for any communication from USCIS as to when/if biometrics will be required.
-
It will very likely come up in the required RCMP records as well.
-
Yes, that’s what I gathered also. I’m just surprised that naturalized citizens of Canada do not have enough English to manage a consular interview.
-
Most US medical students cannot afford med school, either. They take out loans and end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.
-
Does Canada not have a language requirement for citizenship, like the US does? What is their plan to learn English?
-
It is for short periods away from the US for people who still live here. You’re planning to move out of the US for many years, and use it like a B2 tourist visa. This is not the intended use. I see you haven’t commented on the medical degree not being recognized for practice in the US- does that not worry you?

Silver lining: no ROC!

Primary issues we see here are related to the long wait times during the adjustment of status and removal of conditions parts of the process. The petition part is what most people focus on, but K-1 applicants often arrive to the US without realizing how long it can take to get an SSN, driver's license, work permit, or parole in case they need to leave to overseas for an emergency. None of these issues are present for CR-1, which is why we generally recommend it.

Right. I've been on VJ since 2015, and I've never seen a denial for a UK applicant related to bachelor/bachelorette party, or a going away party. It really seems to be isolated to people from countries/cultures where there are elaborate engagement ceremonies that can resemble weddings, informal tribal weddings, etc. An English hen night is totally familiar to the London embassy (as it is just as common in the US), so I would proceed. Best wishes! I suppose the social media question could be legit, but I think most UK party photos would be pretty clearly just parties, vs something ceremonial. YMMV.
