  1. Thanks
    belinda63 got a reaction from Lemonslice in How many allowances?   
    The 2020 W4 no longer uses allowances. First change to the form in many, many years. Please go to irs.gov and look at the new form.

    If your mother has been outside the US for two years she is considered to have abandoned her permanent residency unless she can prove strong reasons as to why she left the US for so long. 
    Your brother can certainly file a petition for you but the wait is 15 or more years, you can't substitute your brother for your mother, it would be a brand new petition starting all over again. 
    Your mother, as your sponsor must show she lives in the US and has been filing US tax returns. Can she do this?

    Sounds like the OP is the USC and his wife is the intending immigrant. He moved back to the US prior to her visa being issued.
    Something was found during the background checks that didn't match what was on the visa application. Could be a lot of things, a job not mentioned, military service not disclosed, prior marriage not mentioned, etc. You will have to wait for the letter.

    He needs to file for separation and let the court's work it out. He could also file to have her evicted.

    He will have to return to his home country for the medical and interview. At that time he will be denied the visa and offered the opportunity to have a waiver filed for him (provided everything else goes ok). At that time the waiver can be filed. Then he waits, outside the US, until the waiver is approved, then he get his visa.  That is if everything goes ok.

    belinda63 got a reaction from Orangesapples in Timeline question - do we need to apply for multiple types of visas?   
    Is there a reason why you can't marry now and live together such as being in different cities? It will take about a year for the interview so that should be enough time to establish a domicile and evidence of joint living arrangements.

    Another case where the beneficiary lied about their marital status in the attempt to obtain a tourist visa. 
    At this point your K-1 is dead, it has been returned and will not be reviewed. I suggest your fiance travel to see you and marry you. You can then proceed with the CR-1.

    When it comes time for them to petition for the children they will need to show proof of a domicile in the US. Not just an address but other things to show they are living here. Also if they are only visiting once or twice a year that will be visible in the records and the petitions will be denied as they are for family unification and the parents aren't living in the US.

    I'm not really sure what "insider information" your attorney claims to have. The number of available visas for each category is set by law. As said previously that can only be changed by Congress and I am not aware of any pending bill to do that. You can check online for all bills submitted and being review in both the House and Senate. 
    I would suggest you have an LPR or citizen parent apply as it is much faster. It does not hurt to have two petitions going at the same time just in case.

    I think the confusion is you are misreading E. E is the movement expected from the current wait so for F4 which is currently processing (Sept 2019 visa bulletin) 8 March 07 It is expected to move 6 weeks when the next bulletin comes out, so they will be processing petitions with the priority date of mid April 07. It DOES NOT mean the priority date will be 6 weeks after the petition is received. 
     
    The Department of State has determined the Family and Employment preference numerical limits for FY-2019 in accordance with the terms of Section 201 of the INA.  These numerical limitations for FY-2019 are as follows:
    Worldwide Family-Sponsored preference limit:  226,000
    That means that there is only 226,000 family visas to be given in the categories that are not the immediate relative of a US citizen. Now please explain how the all people waiting will get visas in a few months.
    NVC will continue to process the petitions prior to them being sent to the embassy except for very limited exceptions such as an expedite. The embassy's do not have the resources to devote to verifying financial information, contacting the petitioner, etc.
