@Family so even though USCIS states they sent the case back to NVC it isn't there? Is it still at USCIS? Is it in a nomansland never to be touched? OP says the visa was sent back to USCIS September 2021... nearly 2 years ago! Is it possible that won't act on the revoked visa at all? Or has OP missed some communication?

Generally your husband will be invited to interview again. In your previous thread you said he was denied in Abu Dhabi… so he should interview there. But, if he is in Pakistan now you will have to request they move the interview to Islamabad. The reason we keep asking for reason of denial is because if they didn’t believe your relationship was real your husband will have to show proof you are in a bonafide relationship. Generally when a case is denied the petitioner is given the opportunity to refute the allegations made by CO… but you seem to have skipped this step. So, I am confused. But, as long as you have continued to visit your husband in person while waiting for the new interview you should be in good shape.

So you requested a FOIA for yourself not for your husband? Or did you request FOIA for both of you and you didn’t receive anything from your husband’s case? If you haven’t requested FOIA for your husband this year I would try one more time… you might discover why USCIS decided to reaffirm your case… paging @JeanneAdil how did you receive information about why your case was denied? How did you naturalize? Through parents or through a spouse?

Can you find the documents that state why they sent the case back to USCIS. Make sure to blackout any sensitive information like names, birthdays, identity numbers and case numbers…

The issue is he is already working. On what basis would you request an expedite? Usually people will state they require an expedite due to job offer. But, requesting an expedite due to losing a job your father isn’t supposed to be currently working makes no sense and I’m fairly sure it is against VJ policy to condone working without authorization. Good luck! But not sure we can help you with any fruitful suggestions.

As you have a lawyer did she say it was 1.) okay for your dad to continue working? And 2.) has she advised how to expedite the EAD? Is your dad self employed or is he working for a company?

So, your father is currently working without authorization. And you’re complaining because he won’t be able to work after his license expires even though he isn’t supposed to be working now?

If the visa is denied though will you divorce or move to a third country?

@w you might want to have another look at your father’s I485. And have a chat to him about his SSN. His SSN might have been stolen, he might be using a fake SSN, his SSN might actually be an ITIN. Then make sure your father said he has worked in the US without authorization… the delayed issuance of the EAD might be because his gave incorrect information or it could be because EAD issuance is not consistent and you have nothing to worry about. I hope your parents also know they cannot travel with AP or they will incur a ban. If you think your father was 💯 honest in his application for adjustment I would submit a request for expedite (I assume he has a job offer?) Good luck! P.S as the petitioner it is your duty to look after your parents during AOS. You’ve signed documentation showing you can support them. And your mother can work to help you out seeing as your father is currently unable to work.

Immigration attorney will cost between $1000-$5000 for the process. If you don’t have major issue spend your money on meeting more often and DIY. Unless your partner has no interest in completing the paperwork himself… then spend the money on a lawyer. If you don’t want to spend money on a lawyer you can look at the VJ partners to help you complete the application (they are not as expensive).

You need to first request DCF. If you are accepted they will send you instructions. have you read this thread:

Not at all! Include the photos you have. The majority of our evidence was photos.

Other than processing times other factors determine if couples choose K1 over spousal. How long have you known your partner and how many times have you met in person? You might want to research K1 vs spousal for people from Nigeria. Is your spouse a US born citizen or did they naturalize? Are you the same age or is there a big age gap? Usually couples from Nigeria will meet 2-3 times before marrying and then file the spousal visa. Here are timelines for people going for the K1 from Nigeria: timelines vary from 539 days to 860. Here are timelines for people going for spousal from Nigeria: 428 days to 1181. You'll want to research the issues Nigerian couples face when applying for a family based visa and make sure your initial application is strong and your spouse continues to visit you in Nigeria or your meet in a third country (if you are unable to secure a visit visa to the US) while you wait for the interview.

@JakeChi believe it or not... some people apply for the visa for their spouse with no intention of living in the US. The foreign spouse moves to the US and the USC remains in the foreign country. Completing subverting the "family reunification" directive. Some people will play the long game and marry someone for the benefit of having residency in a foreign country in exchange for the foreigner can have residency in the States. The rules are created because so many people have abused the process in the past. Also remember the visa is only valid until the medical expires- 6 months from medical. I'm sure various embassies got tired of reviewing applications requesting the visa is extended because the USC and foreign national weren't ready to move to the US yet and needed to request an extension.

Armed drones? Like the ones used in the Middle East responsible for a lot of "collateral damage"? Where would they operate and how would the know who to target?

She might have to wait for her contract to end. Some au pair programs end their relationship with the au pair if they marry. @tjmort you will have to decide between fiance visa and spousal visa for your partner. If your partner is interested in being able to work and travel after the marriage you should marry and file the spousal visa. Fiance visa will mean once she returns to the US with said visa she will not be able to work or travel until she receives EAD and AP. Also, be aware the price of adjustment is going to increase soon.

@Hopeworld I see you petitioned your sister 1 year ago, too. Have you told her to also play the diversity lottery? One of our members @SusieQQQ played the lottery while waiting on a petition to be approved and won before her PD became current. You should explore all the different avenues for your sister to move to the US.

Your mother's daughter is in for a long wait. F2B preference PD is 22 September 2015. The daughter cannot marry as the petition will be denied as there is no category for married sons and daughters of LPRs. It doesn't matter where the petition is adjudicated but it will be adjudicated. File the paperwork then forget about it.

You should "report" your post and request they re-write the title. I'm not sure how many years your partner has before they can apply for US citizenship but you might want to consider filing an I-130 petition for your new born. Currently, on the visa bulletin they are interviewing F2As with a September 2020 PD. So, you will probably wait another year before the petition is approved and then you will need to wait for DQ and being called for interview.

If giving information try to give accurate information. OP should not think all they have to do it apply for citizenship and child automatically becomes a citizen - it is a little more involved than that...

The parent will still have to file an I-130 for the child. When the child arrives in the US they would become a US citizen .

THE GREEN CARD HACK USCIS DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW…

Reading between the lines of these reviews seems like the lawyer promises speedy work authorization, ability to leave the US and SSNs for applicants with EWI. Applicants don't realize it is VAWA until the interview. I'm assuming the major barrier to any one of the applicants adjusting is EWI because most appear to have at least one USC child. Love the phrase @Timona used "selling chicken milk". BINGO- review from September 2022 " Does anyone know if it's true, this lawyer promises to give a work permit and a permit to go to Mexico and return and then start my case for the green card. I am illegal and have children of 21 citizens and they have always told me that I don't know You can, but this lawyer promotes me what the others don't. Someone knows if it's true or a lie. Before I put the papers in and I regret it, thanks."
