All-in time for F4 visa?
milimelo replied to RamonGomez's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
She was a young teenager then so CSPA wasn't a consideration. But yes, normally you do want it to take as long as possible if there are derivatives involved. -

You're understanding correctly, but what you're missing - the unknown to us x factor, is the line of submitted petitions since that 2009. The numerical limits on immigrant visas for preference categories are not something that changes. You have X number of them for F4 category, whoever is below the cutoff for issuance, gets in the line - and that line just keeps growing. Perhaps visa bulletin on state.gov would be of some help to get you some details? Just google visa bulletin November 2025 and from there you can go back see prior months issuances. I think they also break it down by preference categories, then by country. -

Depends when it was approved. I had my sister's I-130 approved in two years - she's nowhere near the NVC process 13 years later. You send it and forget it. But do keep up with change of address (I-865 form) with USCIS - I moved twice since petitioning and received address update confirmation after filing I-865 (though I have yet to submit an I-864). -
USA to UK immigration website like this one?

You always, always check in (ONLINE!) as soon as it's open for your flight - some places 24 hrs prior to departure, some 36, depends on airline. Otherwise you get what you've been through.

Filing CR1 with previous K1 petition
milimelo replied to Camdally's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Affidavit of Support (AOS) is and will be most certainly applicable. -
Filing CR1 with previous K1 petition
milimelo replied to Camdally's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Come AOS time, you'd still have to list prior spouse and children as people you sponsored and who are still under your AOS. -
Urgent need advise
milimelo replied to Pink salt's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You're MARRIED, you don't qualify for K1. Actually meet with your wife more than once and have her file I-130. -
It's not taxed on federal or state level so not really income - if there's a place to list it as VA benefits alongside the letter from VA that would be helpful.

Adjustment of status
milimelo replied to Tcsar's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
You can't adjust status - marry and file for I-130 - consular processing. Anything else would be illegal and you'd get in loads of trouble - not something you want. -
N600 Child Application and Passport
milimelo replied to NoJ's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
Plus when the passport comes back go to the SSA to update his social security number so he's listed as a citizen - seems that's not the case with SAVE not updating for beneficiaries who got citizenship through parent naturalization - there was an article about voting and USCIS SAVE system/connection with SSA. -
Ok, that's helpful. Once you're divorced, do check if your state has a cooling off period (1-6 months) and don't rush into marriage. More visits, establish what you actually want to do. Also, while you share religion, you don't share culture customs, or traditions - either or both of you can and will be faced with unusual things/practices/traditions/ways of doing things. Getting someone in, and especially from Pakistan will not be easy - they normally have lengthy administrative processing (AP) after interview. You really should search for threads here with Pakistani beneficiaries to know what's in store for both of you. Good luck!
