Still doesn't refute what I said. They'll still be given the opportunity to remedy it by sending it back to USCIS.

+Your brother is the primary sponsor (He fills his own I-864) +Your dad will be joint sponsor (He fills his own I-864, mom fills I-864A assuming dad & mom file joint taxes). Dad has to include your husband in his I-864 household count) Now are you saying this is what was done and NVC rejected it?

I'm still confused. Aren't you related to @jalvarez4Jesus? Who is currently sponsoring someone? And who is the current joint sponsor? And who has sponsored immigrants in the past?

To get more clarity. You originally submitted I-864 as a joint sponsor, and listed your previously sponsored immigrants to be counted in the same I864, and NVC rejected it?

It does say overseas: Page 1, Note #1. If your spouse is overseas, Form I-130A must still be completed, but your spouse does not have to sign Form I-130A. Form I-130A must be submitted with Form I-130. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf However, Canada is overseas definitely, because it's a foreign country. Blame some English words that don't make sense sometimes. I forgot where the State of Rhode Island is actually an Island.

With quality application and preparation CR1 won't be denied. However, if one gets rejected, it won't be due to an unknown reason; the reason will be known and opportunity given to remedy it.

Op, did your father have a lease agreement that listed all family members at the time he was in the US?

Op, did your sister attend daycare in the US?

Does your mother want to naturalize?

Op, if spouse can enter after 2nd anniversary go for it. If you can avoid the I-751, avoid it. Not only is it a cash cow for USCIS, the fee for that will soon increase significantly in the near future.

Here is a good place to start: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

The sooner you file I-824 the sooner it will get resolved.

Op, my 2 cents below but your friend should seek a competent lawyer. ----- Your friend is already a greencard holder so it seems she has already adjusted status through her mom. She should have just removed conditions along with her mom back in 2017, and didn't need her spouse's involvement back then at all. Now all parties involved have made a simple case very very messy. She needs to file removal of conditions (with explanation why she's filing late, like really late) ASAP to begin the process to convert the 2-year GC to 10-year GC; this will bring her back in status in the meantime with I-1751 receipt. Your friend has missed the deadline to file by a few years so she'll need a lawyer to help draft a convincing explanation as to why she's filing late.

Yes, she has authorized stay, and the I-485 receipt will serve as proof. I'll still recommend you file the other forms because they'll be free, and a no-brainer if you ask me.

+1 for apply for VWP first and see how that goes.

In all events, matter of Sesay or not, all roads still lead to the I-864. Whether in marriage or in divorce, it doesn't matter. If petitioner pulls the I-864, the K1 beneficiary is toast, they won't be able to adjust.

Are you saying you already have co-sponsors? Or you are saying you can't find co-sponsor? It is very crucial that you have a co-sponsor lined up just in case the consular officer requests one, so that your case doesn't get dragged further.

Op, wow fast approval. Congrats.

Confused about this statement. I thought she already entered and went back to Canada. If she's already entered in the past based on immigrat visa then she's already a greencard holder/LPR. Her 6+months absence shouldn't cause any issues. If she's given a hard time by IO she shouldn't budge.

By law USCIS has to send her a 10 year greencard when she enters after 2nd anniversary and has paid immigrant fee for card production.

Thanks. Do you want to bring the child to the US or do you want the child to continue to stay where they are? There are ways to obtain US citizenship for the child with either options.

No. You were not a USC at child's birth. Where do you currently live?

Have you applied for any visa in past? Have you been married before?
