    Can’t cry over spilled milk… I doubt they will issue the visa when she explains she wants to wait out the K1 process in the US… but you’ve paid for the tourist visa and she has an interview date. She can either try her luck or cancel the appointment. A denial won’t impact her K1 implication so no worries there.

    Congrats @Demise hoping you get that GC super soon

    How did you obtain your US citizenship? You've been a member of VJ for a few years and it looks like you might have sponsored someone else before? It is always better to adjust status and be authorized to stay in the US. The longer someone is out of status the more likely they could claim US citizenship by mistake.

    All they can do is apply. The need to qualify on their own terms- strong ties to home country BUT they might not be able to enter the US because you didn't follow the rules they might assume your parents can't follow the rules. It (sadly) also depends on the country you are from. The officer might straight up ask about your status is in the US- when I applied for my B1/B2 the officer asked me about the status of the friend I was staying with (was she a citizen/resident/student etc). Good luck and please come back and tell us how it went. This poster has a recent (unsuccessful) story.

    You might not want citizenship now, but you might change your mind later. I know a few people who didn't apply for citizenship for 10/20/30 years and then something happened and citizenship was important. Or, you might want to sponsor another person- future wife or children if they are born outside the US. Keep your immigration history clean. There is another member who had a complicated divorce/ROC journey. She was able to obtain citizenship after she was approved for ROC without interview before sending in divorce paperwork but she made to send in divorce paperwork as soon as it arrived.

    OP did not complete degree according to first post…

    Did you book your travels on one ticket or is this a separate ticket to the one you came into the country on? When I checked in for my flight a few years ago they thought I was flying back home and wanted to check my details... then when they realized this was a little detour it was all good.

    You will have to put all family members on your i864… your mother just has to sponsor your husband- but if she has dependents she would have to include them as members of her household. just checking- are all of your children US citizens with passports?

    There is… one of the members here has received it for DUI… not sure if I’ve seen someone receive it for overstay though. And I believe it is only good for single entry for first waiver but then after second application you can receive longer validity.

    Did your parents adjust status or did they receive a green card OR did they receive tourist visas and visited once? Where are they now?

    Yes, unfortunately immigration and “perfect life plans” are not always compatible… we sometimes have to live by immigration timelines not the timeline of our choice. I’m aware you stated in a previous post your partner wasn’t quite ready to get married yet. But, they might consider getting married now and filing now because with immigration timelines you’re probably only looking at moving to the US in late 2024 by the earliest! And if a waiver for overstay is required that will add another 12-18 months to your eventual move. If you know you want to be together in the future, start making plans for the next 3 years now…

    For proof of address to get my driver's I used: My SSN card (had address on it), mail addressed to USC husband AND marriage certificate. It was issued no problems. I would also go to a different bank if they are giving you issues. Not wanting to help you open the account will probably be the first of the many issues you encounter with the bank when trying to do anything...

    It depends on the consulate. My husband and I both went to the interview in Seoul. Other consulates won’t allow the USC to enter but going and waiting outside is a great way of showing support and showing you’re serious about the process.

    If you don’t have a joint sponsor, you’ll have to have about $120 000 in savings at NVC stage- if you do not have US based income. Unfortunately this process is extremely expensive and not all that friendly towards US citizens wanting to move back to the US with their family…

    Where are you seeing the possibility of a waiver for the I-130? From instructions: The filing fee for Form I-130 is $535. The filing fee for this petition cannot be waived.(p. 9 of 12)
  18. Redro
    Where is your wife now? When is the last time you saw your wife? The cost of I-130 is just the start… Do you have any children? (I ask because this factors into how much you should make to sponsor an immigrant)…

    OP arrived on ESTA In January. I think they’ve overstayed… but there should be no ban for overstaying less than 6 months?
  20. Redro
    If you want to complete medical you can. Or you can wait for RFE and send it in then.

    Did you read the rejection letter? Did they explain what was wrong with the application? Or is your lawyer just telling you it was rejected?

    Where are you currently? Japan or another country? P.C.C for US immigration purposes are valid for 1 year. They’re valid indefinitely if you no longer live in said country and do not return… e.g. if you are currently in Thailand and require a PCC from Japan because you lived there 3 years ago you could get the certificate now and it would be fine for immi purposes as long as you didn’t visit again before interview. Either way you are fine to get the PCC now.

    To transmit US citizenship to your child if they are born abroad: For birth on or after November 14, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for five years prior to the person’s birth, at least two of which were after the age of 14. You should be fine… you’ll just have to go to the Swiss Embassy to report the birth if your future wife has her child in Iran. https://ir.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/

    If your sister already has a B1/B2 she doesn’t require an invitation to come back to the US. She is free to return as a visitor and when she arrives to US she will tell CBP the purpose of her visit… seeing her sister and brother in law I assume… The question is… how long does she actually want to stay in the US? Does she want to stay for 3-4 months before deciding if she wants to volunteer for the organization and then changing status? Does she have a B1/B2 and she plans on having meetings with the US branch of the non profit to understand how to better serve those in Ecuador… OR is she planning on coming to the US, changing status and trying to stay and “volunteer” for the organization while she waits for her visa to be current?
