    Physician's letter and reasoning was denied. Why would another letter with the same condition make any difference? If I was at Abu Dhabi, I would flag your case as being suspicious/desperate and take more time to investigate when the interview is scheduled. Also, life threatening can mean the petitioner may not be able to sponsor the immigrant.

    This is promoting misrepresentation by omission.

    For the past 3 years or so, there is no advantage of a K1 over a CR1. K1: all cons CR1: all pros The only reason any sane person would do K1 is if that is the only choice: country is locked down, there is no chance to meet again in the next year, etc.

    First, are your children USC? Did you apply CRBA for them? Second, it starts fresh again with the I-130. You have time to sort out finances and line up sponsors because the I-864 will not be required until after the I-130 is approved. You cannot DCF based on what you stated.

    Odd response. Why would anyone be jealous?

    They cannot be on one I-130. Each parent needs their own I-130.

    There is a list at the NVC website when you complete the DS-260. Also, does Philippines require court order or the other parent's consent? Edit: deleted

    I-130 petition. Terminology is important. Next step is NVC, which will take several months. Afterwards, the interview in Tunisia, which may or may not lead to administrative processing. 1 month to several months to over a year. Once the visa is issued then you have a CR1. Enjoy the first round victory, it is time for some celebration. 2 more rounds to go.

    The only option I see is for the sister to immigrate and then petition her daughter (your niece) as F2A or F2B, depending on the niece's age. The niece can add her child (grand-niece) as a derivative.

    I-130 fee: $535 NVC AOS fee: $120 NVC IV fee: $325 Medical fee for interview: $100-$300 Immigrant fee for greencard production: $220 None are waivable. There are some exceptions, such as domestic abuse for the Immigrant fee, but they do not apply to your situation. Also, you will need to show you can sponsor your family in the US - form I-864. That will require minimum $37,500 annual income for 2023. Your annual income, or combined with your wife's as long as the income will continue when you move to the US (US company or Int company that will keep you and/or your wife employed). If you do not qualify per the above, you will need a joint sponsor.

    Does H-1B require conditions removal?
  12. SteveInBostonI130
    Why not complete the consular I-130 process? For UK, it will only take a few more months to get the interview. It depends on how quickly you complete the NVC steps.

    The SSN field on the 1040 needs to be blank for your wife: Option: 1. Hand fill a new 1040, or find a fillable PDF version. Copy the data from Turbotax and leave out the SSN for your wife. Sign it, send it to your wife to sign, have her send it back, and mail it with the W7 to IRS. 2. File as Married Filing Separately. Amend the tax return when your wife arrives in the US and gets her SSN.

    https://www.uscis.gov/i-9 For E-Verify, the employer has to be enrolled first: https://www.e-verify.gov/ https://www.e-verify.gov/about-e-verify/e-verify-data/how-to-find-participating-employers I would assume e-verify would make it simpler. You should be in the system as authorized to work and that you are still an LPR while your ROC is pending.
  15. SteveInBostonI130
    Do you have an unrestricted SSN card? If so, that plus your state DL is all that is required for the I-9. Employers may not specify which form of ID and work authorization you submit.

    The CO will look at the totality of your current and previous income. The 125% is the bare minimum to be considered - the CO may require more. In your case, I do not see an issue. It always helps to have a joint sponsor lined up just in case. Don't submit one (joint sponsor), but if they demand one at the interview then your spouse can submit it right away.

    How bad is it? Is it a letter off or a completely different name? Does it match what you filled in on the I-129F? Did you hand-fill the entries or did you type it in? At the interview, they will expect the interviewee's name to march the DS-160, passport and birth certificate. If there is a mismatch between the BC and Passport, Passport name take precedence.

    You cannot be approved for citizenship without the exam. I would contact USCIS again.
  19. SteveInBostonI130
    Unfortunately, there is no processing time for expedite requests. You can Ask Emma again to check the status of the request.
  20. SteveInBostonI130
    Depends on her ties to her country, being accepted at a qualifying school, and having finances to support herself and tuition.
  21. SteveInBostonI130
    That is not how immigration works. Please read the spouse visa guides and act. Get married, meet and file the I-130. Or just sit around for another year and ask the same questions and get the same answers.
  22. SteveInBostonI130
    In this case, your husband has to submit and I-130 for each child. Therefore, 4 total I-130s (one for you and 3 for your children). Your husband can request USCIS expedites for the 3 I-130s, explaining the situation. It may or may not be granted, but he definitely should try. He should reference your I-130 receipt number. You may also want to delay your interview. You or your husband can contact NVC to wait for your children's cases and process them together.

    US and Pakistan do not require police certs. Not for US because they do not have a national police cert, and USCIS/DOS can run background checks with DOJ. Not Pakistan because police certs are unreliable.
  24. SteveInBostonI130
    That does not make sense. Who is the USC?

    Driver could have marked it delivered when he pulled into the parking lot and scanned the packages to be dropped off. When he went to the door and saw the place was closed, he may have taken the packages back to the truck to be delivered on Monday. At least, that's what I see when the FedEx/UPS truck arrives at our office. I see the guy go to the back, get the packages to be dropped off, scan them on his hand-held, and then bring the packages. A few times I see them bring packages to outside the door and then scan them before ringing the doorbell.
