  1. Yes. And stick around VisaJourney when questions come up, it is a great site with knowledgable people. Best wishes!
  2. It will take around two years total. Nothing more for you to do for quite awhile.
  3. They can absolutely attend school.
  4. In other words: VJ TOS prohibits helping people to commit immigration fraud, so here is a forum that has no such rule.
  5. You don’t think that CBP will look at their notes when you arrive with a fraudulently contrived job description, which you are not qualified to do?
  6. The issues that caused your previous denials will not go away with a different consulate…. If they suspect it is a green card marriage, you may need to move home and live together.
  7. I wonder if Canada immigration policies r/t polygamy are the same as the US.
  8. No, she is not responsible for his actions. This doesn’t mean her marriage and circumstances will not be brought up at a future immigrant visa interview, because they for sure will. She needs to be 100% honest.
  9. Yes. However, she MUST report her marriage and ALL children (step or bio) on the forms as per the instructions, REGARDLESS of whether any of them will be immigrating. Omitting inconvenient information (like stepchildren via polygamy) is in violation of US immigration law. By all means, have the MIL petition her now, and then 10 years from now (or whenever the visa bulletin is current), let the chips fall where they may with her marital status. She can immigrate without a polygamist husband who refuses to divorce her, but accuracy on the forms is critical.
  10. Whether the spouse immigrates is irrelevant. The daughter is legally married, and therefore her family preference category is married over 21, which adds many years, as Boiler is trying to tell you.
  11. Fraud perpetrated by others from your country impacts your case. You are in administrative processing, and nothing can be done until it is completed.
  12. Not enough to be a go-between for info. I suggest your friend join the convo here. It sounds like he's trying to adjust status via a sham marriage. Sibling sponsorship takes YEARS, and there is no visa available for him yet. Now he's got another sham marriage lined up to try and adjust through? He's wading through deportation and permanent bar territory.
  13. Perhaps, but you also filed it like a month after the interview, right? That was premature, IMHO. Even background checks for applicants in low fraud countries require more time than that.
  14. There is no way to rehearse ways to answer the questions. You need to be honest.
  15. I wouldn’t. Egypt is a high fraud/high risk embassy, and extended administrative processing is common. Best advice is to either wait, or get a completely refundable ticket.
  16. If you plan to live in the US, you can’t plan for a “change in circumstances” to adjust on a visit. That’s fraud. You need to be petitioned for an immigrant visa.
  17. This is above my pay grade. Maybe @Mike E has some ideas. I will say that if USCIS/DOS struggles to collect and confirm background/identity/family/police information on you, it is likely to lead to extended administrative processing/vetting, so the entire process could take well over the standard two years.
  18. Yes. It must match your birth certificate.
  19. They won't do anything of the kind. The onus is on the applicant to provide all of the required documentation.
  20. I used the word later in the thread. I think you missed the post from Redro where she wrote: "When @SalishSea says “properly petitioned” she means she petitioned her husband for K1 and he adjusted status while he was in status. You circumvented the process because you came in on ESTA or B2/B2 and then applied for adjustment after your fell out of status." Anyway, I've contributed all I can to this thread and truly do not wish to provoke. Please accept my best wishes for your process.
  21. Although it was actually @Redro who used the word "circumvent," I feel confident explaining that it was meant to describe the net effect of adjusting status from an NIV, which is a savings of about two years of waiting for a visa. Another synonym would be "work-around."
