    You can petition for your brother or sister. Your nephew will be a derivative of your sibling. It will take about 20 years.

    It has been a while since my wife's visa medicals, but I believe they ask if the applicant has ever used drugs in the past. The rehab in this case is routine blood testing and monitoring to verify he has actually stopped using. Here is the EU case that I referred to:

    A couple of cases I read resulted in the beneficiary having to undergo drug rehab and observation for 1 year. I think one was from Chile or Argentina, and the other was from Europe. If he was under 18, and if it was his only infraction, I believe the CMT can be overcome.

    The visa does not make your wife a permanent resident. Read the second sentence you wrote. "Upon endorsement" means when CBP "endorses" the visa when she first enters the US. Her LPR status, and the timeclock, starts after the endorsement.

    It's typically the native language of the location. If in Spain - Spanish, Saudi Arabia - Arabic, Japan - Japanese, Moon - Lunar...

    It may work at a small place or as a helper to a one-person contractor like a plumber. A regular company will have an onboarding process which will include completing the W4. Per their own policies or software limitations they will not or cannot start someone on their payroll without an SSN.

    There is no impact.

    Google "Visa Bulletin". It is updated by the US Department of State.

    Per the I-864 you submitted, if you quietly accept his immigration to try to hide your feelings from both families, then you will be 1) miserable and 2) financially liable for your husband and doubly miserable and 3) just...no.

    It seems he petitioned his daughter, your sister. Your nephews and nieces are derivatives of your sister. Until your sister's PD is current, there is no visa available for her to proceed with her immigration process. Medical emergencies, death, etc. cannot override this requirement.

    First, U4U uses I-134A, not I-864. Is the question/problem related to U4U? After reading this a second time, I assume the wife filed for AOS for her mom? The I-485 is for the Mom? If so, then the simplest method if for the ex-husband to fill out a I-864 as a joint sponsor. The wife should fill out a new I-864 as well, showing $0 total household income. Have them ready for the Mom to take to her AOS interview. The Mom would explain that her daughter divorced and her ex-son-in-law has agreed to be a joint sponsor.

    ??? Why cancel? Let MIL attend her interview. Getting a B2 visa does not mean she has to fly out the same day. She can wait for FIL to get his interview and fly together, or better yet fly first and FIL travels later. This is assuming the B2s will be approved, which is a different matter. Being a medical EMERGENCY, I would assume MIL would need/want to fly right away. Cancelling her appointment to get a joint appointment to try to get the FIL visa approved does not seem like time is an issue, but your wife has urgent need...something is off here.

    I do not know of any US employer who will employ a person that does not have a SSN. This has nothing to do with immigration. It has everything to do with the IRS.

    Ignore the warning message, get DQ'd. Line up a joint sponsor just in case (have them fill out the I-864 and sign it, but do not submit it). Go to the interview. Worst case the CO will state you do not qualify on your own and want a joint sponsor, you submit the already completed joint sponsor app, bob's your uncle.

    1. She will need to file US taxes when she gets her GC. 2. She will need to explain to CBP just about every time she enters the US why she stayed away for over 6 months. 3. After the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time or so, CBP will question whether she actually resides in the US or if she resides mainly elsewhere. She can be pressured to sign the I-407 to relinquish her LPR status or be given an NTA to appear in immigration court. As Boiler mentioned, find out why her B2 renewal was denied and work from there.

    Your uncle cannot AOS because he entered without inspection. If he leaves, he will get a multi-year bar. Your uncle needs to consult an experienced immigration attorney.
  17. SteveInBostonI130
    It is clearer if you file the I-864 as the primary sponsor and your wife the I-864A as a contributing household member. You FIL files his own I-864 as a joint sponsor. He can add his income to yours as a household member and he files the I-864A, but then you will need to reconcile the 2 separate tax returns.

    The process is for Humanitarian parole, starts with a sponsor filing I-134A. This is different from filling out the I-134 affidavit of support for a fiance visa. Should not be an issue. Filing the I-134A should not affect the ongoing I-129F until the beneficiary is given the travel document and enters the US. Even then, technically it has no impact against the K1 visa until you marry.

    I would estimate 75% or more U4U recipients are outside Ukraine. 6 people I met sponsored by my wife's friends were residing in Poland and Germany.

    1. Ukrainians can easily get tourist visas to the US. In January, my nephew got his 10 yrs B2 visa approved at Bratislava with just verifying his name to the interviewer. Your lawyer has out of date information. If you just want them to visit, this is the fastest method. 2. U4U will allow them to enter the US and you can marry and adjust. Or you can marry there first. You will need to file the I-134A for each - mom and son. A while ago this form took a few weeks to approve. Now with other Humanitarian parole eligible countries, it is taking longer to process. 3. K3 is obsolete.

    All K-1 petitions are mailed to the Texas lockbox. They will open, verify payment, and scan the documents. As others have stated, the vast majority are assigned to California. When the petitioner has a potential VAWA or AWA criminal background, then it goes to Vermont where it take about 10 months longer than California.

    There is no "preparation". You need to clearly state your current situation and if it differs from 3 years ago, state those differences. If your situation has not changed, that your ties are the same as 3 years ago, I do not see them approving your visa.
  23. SteveInBostonI130
    It is better if the USC spouse is posting the question. Best if both parties are involved. It depends on how detail oriented you are and how patiently and thoroughly you read all instructions and guides. It is not complex, but it requires a good understanding of the visa process and being able to accurately and completely fill out forms.

    About 6 weeks on average for NVC to schedule the interview.
