High fraud country,already one denied petition, delayed birth certificate, no proof of his even knowing her until after the birth, yep he just made a simple situation into a difficult one. Question, won't he have to file a CRBA for "his" child?

If he's not current on a payment plan with the IRS it's likely that his petition won't be approved.
He needs some help for his business, or to shut it down and find a job. You being there won't necessarily improve anything. The consular officer isn't a business analyst. No doubt they would be sympathetic to his situation, but it may not be relevant to the immigrant petition.
A failing business is tremendous amount of stress. Unfotunately it seems that it has created a significant roadblock that an expedite can't overcome. He needs to sit down wih his accountant and figure out the best course of action. Closing a business is like a divorce. It's painful but survivable.
It won't hurt the case to ask for an expedite. But there may be a larger problem.
Best of luck.

Unless she finds a US citizen to marry and file to adjust her status (which would raise red flags) she has no legal path to remain in the US that I am aware of.
Immigration wouldn't have been looking for her unless they intended to deport her. She is subject to being detained at any time and her best move would be to leave now on her own terms rather than waiting for a court to deport her.

She's done you a favour, dude. She obviously does not realise the requirements of her visa. I'm sure when she realises she has to marry YOU in order to stay, she will come running back begging for a second chance.
Until then, she is literally digging her own immigration grave. Let her.

Wow how did you get the interview scheduled without a case number?

Never heard of NVC being skipped with an expedite.

You came on a K-1, your sponsor withdrew the I-864 and divorced you. There is no way for you to remain in the US legally.

I find it amazing that it was approved in less than two weeks. Normally they require 30 days to review the case. How exactly were you (or your SO) informed the expedite has been approved.

1. yes. is a common thing in that part of town where you two visited. Young Dapper Men chase after the tourists.
2. Well, you know the day of her next airplane flight. So, make sure you give her a pan of chocolate-exlax-imbued brownies within 12 hours of the departure time, she won't be able to leave the toilet room in time to get on the plane.

No once the first EAD expires (at the same time as the I-94) there is no way to extend it nor any other work authorization he could apply for except in conjunction with the AOS.

Did your mother not plan this out when she left her minor kid to move to the US? Did she not read up on how this work? If you do a search here on vj you will find a bunch of similar threads. People want to move so badly they just up the leave their kids without thinking...

For your dad it will take about 1 year. For your sister it will take about 23 years. If the sister is not married and remains single dad could petition for her after he becomes an LPR and the wait time would be about 10 years.

Someone who is not even willing to support removal of your conditions is not worth staying married to. The foundation of marriage is not slavery and threats.

You have lived in the US for more than two years. You might get some alimony for a short period of time but the judge is going to want to know why you haven't been working since the family's financial situation is so tough. I suggest you start planning for way to live by yourself, supporting yourself. Even if you are awarded alimony you can't get blood from a stone, in other words if he has no money he can't give you any.
As to gaining support via the I-864 you could sue him in federal court and in a few years might win, if you can afford the legal fees. Again it is doubtful the family court will award you much if any alimony for any extended length of time.

If you can afford international tuition and support him while he lives here he can apply for a student visa. It will be hard since he doesn't have the equivalent of a high school diploma.

If you think 2k is a lot think of how much it will cost if immigration picks you up.

In my experience Mac you are correct. But we do not live in a police state, I don't have to show my papers upon demand (unless driving or entering certain areas). I should be able to walk down the street without fear of being questioned. The police have become witch hunters, looking for ways to justify their job, their state and federal money, to steal money from people, etc. What about simple violations of the law that you aren't even aware of, such as in Kentucky you can be arrested for not updating the address on your driver's license. You get pulled over for failing to signal, give cop your license, he asked is this your current address, oh man no, I moved about 2 weeks ago and haven't had time to get it changed, guess what you could now go to jail, have your car towed, lose your job, etc.
Never talk to the police.

To answer Mac first: because cops lie (don't you read the news?) and they use the pretext of "you cooperating" to conduct illegal searches. Or they can lie or twist what you say. Who are you going to believe a person standing in handcuffs or a person in a police uniform Read about field drug tests showing illegal drugs when used on candy, or grass (as in from the lawn) being called marijuana.
Simple answer: Am I free to go? Am I being detained? Most cops will simply refuse to answer either of these questions. So then the magical "I do not wish to say anything" comes into play. Then the cops say, oh you aren't under arrest I just want to talk to you, followed by you saying "am I free to go"....anyway you get the point. There is NO requirement to speak to the police at any time either when you are free or when you are being detained.

It means her mother had no grounds to petition her because 1. her green card has been abandoned and 2. there is no family reunification because the mother does not live in the US.
