  1. 14 days of time together in over 700 days of marriage is weak evidence of bonafide relationship. IMO, these marriages usually do not work out, and the petitioner is stuck with a lifetime I-864 burden. I do not know if Montreal will give her an IR-1 visa, but based on what you have described, it should not.
  2. How long have you been married and what percentage of that time have you been in each others physical presence?
  3. I’ve seen this on flights to Hong Kong. Also seen at the land border in Nogales (just cars).
  4. Your brother’s case is higher priority because if DoS does not get its scat together, it will issue him a visa after he turns age 18. If so, he will not automatically be a U.S. citizen. If he gets his visa before age 18, then he must enter the U.S. before age 18.
  5. 1. Are you under age 18? 2. Are you under age 21? 3. Is your brother age under age 16?
  6. Select this option: My existing card has already expired or will expire within six months
  7. Immediate family of U.S. citizens are the highest priority family based I-485s. I would expect marriage based I-485s to take longer than I-485s filed by parents of U.S. citizens, or unmarried children of U.S. citizens, at least when the U.S. citizen or child were born in wedlock. In those two cases, bonafide relationship evidence is rarely requested beyond birth and marriage certificates. The decision is largely deterministic. Whereas marriage based I-485s require a subjective decision as to whether a bonafide relationship exists. IMO, over 10 percent of the time, it does not exist. Mostly it is because one spouse believes there is a bonafide relationship, and the other spouse has no intention of behaving as they did before I-485 was approved. USCIS knows they approve marriage based I-485s from con artists each day, and it wants to improve. So slower approvals.
  8. @fosh36 The totality, quantity, and quality of evidence matters more than the absence of one type of evidence. Despite having plenty of stamps, I never submitted them because it is tedious. Instead I submitted photos, airline receipts, and hotel bookings for over 10 meetings. Approved. You’ve had several meetings and your evidence is good.
  9. She is both, but the form, ss written, requires the sponsor to count her.
  10. Once divorce is filed, he needs to amend his I-751 to a divorce waiver. Also if he moves, he files AR-11. If you move, you file I-865. RFE to produce a divorce decree in 87 days. 5 year mark
  11. Looks like 6 years of residence in the U.S. I expect difficulties: You need her social security earnings report.
  12. Some I-751s do not get interviews. 1. Did both of you attend the N-400 interview? 2. Was the I-751 extension letter included in the N-400 evidence? 3. Did anyone tell the ISO that I-751 was still pending?
  13. Your timeline shows I-751 was filed. So what is impossible?
  14. The legal bills alone run in the tens of thousands of dollars. The cost of EB is so high most employers balk at the cost, even when they paying out $200K salaries. And the new job is also minimum wage? I mean but for my first job out of university, every job was because I knew someone who worked there. American expression. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/lightning_in_a_bottle So you found a factory position that the department of labor determined there is a shortage of workers for. And that is surprising. Does your work involve hazards like working with radioactive or poisonous materials? Say a rocket fuel plant or a bio waste processor? No one here is suggesting there was fraud. Personally I an fascinated, and that is all.
  15. Except for my first job, all my jobs have been through personal connections. What you achieved is lightning in a bottle. Not a week goes by without a foreign laborer asking how to get a green card. And invariably that person is told: forget about it.
  16. EB-3 ia expensive for an employer, and generally an employers tend to sponsor only highly paid and skilled workers like nurses, engineers, etc.
  17. You need to have evidence that you actually traveled to Uganda Every passport photo I’ve had taken by Walgreens has been rejected by the U.S. or Canadian passport agency. However, printing photos at Walgreens ia fine. Just take selfies, run them through any of many online sizers and background removers, and you will IME get the best results.
  18. Part 3 item 14: Provide all of the information requested in the table below about yourself, all of your dependents, She is your dependent because she is your biological child. So she must be listed in Part 3 Item 14. Since she is listed in Part 3, she must not be listed in part 2, item 13.
  19. Ok, this not unheard of. Not knowing what he ate for breakfast because he wakes up earlier than you is fine due to his work schedule and your illness making it difficult to get up as early is one thing. Not knowing what he eats because meals are prepared and consumed separately in separately rooms is another thing. The other issue is that your explanation evolves rapidly.
  20. Inform the embassy that you are ready to interview.
  21. Which a home visit would make apparent, and if so a denial is certain. You are living in the same dwelling like room mates, not spouses, are hiding it from USCIS. If you have 3 years of marital union with your spouse or 5 years as an LPR. But filling N-400 can force USCIS to decide your I-751. Which seems likely to be denied. 1. When did you marry? 2. When did you become an LPR?
  22. 1. Did you guess or did you answer as did because you thought they were the correct answers? 2. What evidence did you submit the shows you live in the same dwelling as your spouse? could be. You might also get a home visit. hire a lawyer You can remain in the U.S. until a final order of removal from an immigration judge. You can also file another I-751 before your final removal. Your lawyer will advise you.
  23. Unless your fiancé(e) has intent to live at a specific address in the U.S., you should not list it as that is perjury. So enter unknown. And yes this will raise questions at the K-1 interview. There should be a specific address nailed down by then, and it would be a good idea to have a lease agreement to bring to interview.
