All cases go into AP till visa is issued or denied CEAC site will say refused till decision is made and yes , if AP goes past the 6 month medical date, she will need a new exam /embassy will notify if the embassy approves the visa Did she interview in Ankara? if so, it probably will be a longer AP

Not an issued when the man is older I also vote for marriage and CR1

we mailed in the ds160 therewise how does anyone do the proofs they want as they don't look at documents u bring to interview (Casa embassy ignores them)

BTW u do need to do the CBRA for child of USC born abroad or (if married) file I 130 for the child Be sure to get the CBRA and US passport for the baby and the final rule for fees to go up has not yet been verified in Federal Registry but just proposed in January 2023

Just checked the US embassy Thai site posted by Dashinka another vote for CR1 as it is so much easier to marry there than what some others of us go thru to marry abroad no need for Utah zoom BTW CR1 is cheaper in the long run as immigration is intending to increase the AOS fee process in USA to $2820 from $1225 Best to all 3 of u and congratulations on the baby to come

scheduling K1 visa interviews and paying the fee is embassy dependent/ they all have different rules to pay and sechedule so, let the VJ community know the country

case was sent to embassy and they will schedule it when there is an opening all the expedite did was get it to the embassy/there are still others ahead of yours already with appointments u need to be ready at "the drop of a hat " to schedule medical exam and have all documents ready so the AP is not long Previous post asks question 'what to do now' USC gets the I 864, and IRS transcripts and proof of US residency to Moroccan spouse , have spouse gather moroccan documents /not copies but originals /i mailed from USA via USPS overnight (10 days Adil had them) all that to be ready when the embassy notifies u of the interview email notice of interview, print it out to take to embassy documents needed should be on the notice from embassy also on the Casa webpage Trust the following site / there is an old site which is not correct as its not updated https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/CSB-Casablanca.html

if both parties agree to see social services and go before family court , it is recognized for support (only) he can not force the man to do CBRA BUT he may suggest it From Office of US Department of Health and Human Services https://www.acf.hhs.gov/css/faq/frequently-asked-questions-about-international-cases Citizenship and Residency Expand All Q1.

when she submits the ds 160 , she should add her marriage certificte kids birth certificates letter from employer to show she has a job and can return to it monies in account to pay for trip /Moroc CO did let us show funds in our account to pay for his mom's trip deed for property (the above should have English translations) u already know she can interview in Arabic timeframe for Casa interview is 156 days https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html CO could ask How long to stay in US Who will care for kids when she is gone allah yekbel with job and family, tell her not to be nervous, she has strong ties to Moroc

i read that he may have to use assets

In many of these cases, the LPR has already introduced the sister (or brother ) to a possible mate in the US marrying someone here allows the person to AOS and Casa embassy has been known to check cell for correspondence that could indicate that intent True , she can't AOS from LPR but a possible US husband , she could

Foreign income doesn't count whether u exclude it form taxes or add it US income is what counts and this job is new they say "get a joint sponsor and that's what immigration wants"

Not a fan of dead beat fathers (or mothers) but i would demand DNA and not pay her plane fare or motel room or let her stay with me and only trust the US family court system to handle the issue worrying what might happen 20 years from now? so, what if this child becomes a USC and wants to petition for mom he would need US residency and US income/ chances ????? Certainly by then the man's obligations would be over

Gonna pretend to be in his shoes now 1st i would consult an attorney and heed his advise 2nd I would call her bluff and say "Get a B1/B2 visa for the baby and bring him to US and I will contact family court to get this settled Ask family court for a DNA on man and child Kicker is: if his name is not on the birth certificate OR another man is on it OR it is altered in any way to have his name , no tourist visa would be issued to the child or without father's permission, If she tries to bring child with just her tourist visa , airport security will want to see child's birth certificate as shown on youtube, permission of the other parent is needed /many South American countries show airport security closely checking status of adult and child traveling alone the above can be a stopper if he isn't the father and even if she doesn't list one if she can come, schedule family court appointment in the county and do the DNA a judge wants proof of income for both parties to establish support and she needs to be prepared to show all monetary income and possibly medical expenses of the child No way can she touch your personal property but if support is ordered and not paid , then an attachment can be made of income /again , this would be another trip on her part to go to court and file a complaint for unpaid child support $1000 to $2000 in South America??? way out of line

At interview CO always assumes the intent is to stay in the US to overcome this notion , she needs to prove she has the funds needed for the visit , a job to return to, and owns property

According to the Department it says 5 times https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html#:~:text=The net value of assets,guideline for the household size. How can a sponsor use assets to meet the minimum Federal Poverty Guidelines? If a sponsor's income does not meet the minimum Federal Poverty Guidelines, he or she can submit the value of assets to make up the difference unless the sponsor is submitting a Form I-864EZ. When looking at income levels, the consular officer will look at the sponsor's employment income first. Personal assets and/or the income and assets of household members who have signed an I-864A are totaled next. If the sponsor is using assets to meet the minimum Federal Poverty Guidelines, they must upload a scanned copy of documentation of those assets into CEAC. What cash value of assets is needed? The total net value of assets, less liens and liabilities against them, must equal five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125% of the poverty level for the household size.
