I-130 Question
SteveInBostonI130 replied to VJB9's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Ballpark should be fine, if the year is correct and the month is close. You can add additional comments about not being precise due to it being long ago and not retaining the paperwork. Otherwise FOIA is the way to go. -
E-3 Visa Approved at Appointment, CEAC shows approved after interview, two days later changed to refused. No updates. Passport still in consulate according to salesforce website. Is this normal? (told 5 days printing) (merged)

Give it about 10 working days. If it is not "Issued" by then, contact the embassy. -
F4 Interview Dates for Islamabad US embassy
SteveInBostonI130 replied to Uurfi's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
With F4 being 15-20 years, and taking longer for certain countries, this type of post will not get much traction. It is not like CR1 or K1, where there are hundreds of applicants per month, hundreds processed every month, and no wait for a visa number. I would suggest you fill out your timeline and use the "find similar timeline" function. -
Question about the Green Card process
SteveInBostonI130 replied to Kimgaba's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
You have to use the receipt number given after you paid the $220 immigration fee. Do not use the I-130 receipt number or the NVC case numbers. GC will be mailed to the address provided when the immigration fee was paid. Takes up to 120 days. There are no more forms to fill out for immigration. You do need to fill out the SS5 for the social security number if your wife does not have one. That is for the Social Security Administration. -
Google "import car from Canada to US". Look for CBP website links. It is better to make all preparations (emission and safety inspection/compliance) before your trip and handle the import at the border, but you are given some time to do it later. There was a poster who had a hard time crossing in Buffalo, NY. I can't find the post, but their case was a bit complicated. Normally the entry process is routine. They may ask you something about your fiance - where they live, where and when do you plan to get married, etc. Be direct and do not jest. There was a poster who replied "not sure, I might not want to marry", or similar, and CBP denied that person entry. Normally CBP will remind you that you need to marry within 90 days per the terms of the K1, and send you on your way.

First, forget about affecting her LPR status, or you having any power over it. If you make any threats or even suggest that you can "take away" her immigration rights, a competent divorce attorney she hires will have a field day. Second, the terms of the divorce is impacted by the laws of your state. Property division, alimony, etc all depends on where you live and your circumstance. Consult a divorce attorney now.

Per the Visa Bulletin for March 2023, visa numbers are available for those on or before 01-Dec-2014 for F1 India. So, about 2 - 6 more years. The range is wide because the F1 category for India has been 01-DEC-2014 since September 2021. It has not moved for a year and a half. In fiscal year 2021 (Oct 2020 to Sep 2021), F1 for India moved 3 months for the entire year - processed 1 month of backlog every 4 months. Unless they clear the Dec 2014 backlog soon, there is no realistic way to predict how quickly 2015 applicants can get their visa number.

Your profile states F-1 visa. Did you mean to select K-1 visa?

Advance parole
SteveInBostonI130 replied to Sean3030's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
It's not in USCIS's mandate to help you become a citizen of another country. It's actually the complete opposite. I don't think they will be very keen to grant you an expedite. -
apply for married brother
SteveInBostonI130 replied to 1216's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
Immediate family: parents, spouse, children under 21: About 2 years for their immigration visa. Also can Adjust Status if in the US. Unmarried Son/Daughter over 21: 9-11 years to immigrate, cannot adjust status. Married Son/Daughter (and their family as derivatives): 15+ years to immigrate, cannot adjust status. Brother/Sister (and their family as derivatives): 18+ years to immigrate, cannot adjust status. -
Evidence question
SteveInBostonI130 replied to rob554's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
What country? -
I find it a hassel to book multiple flights and try to organize transfers visa 3rd countries And more expensive I would research the visa requirements for the country you wish to visit with your US passport. If it is is something simple, like an electronic visa or on-arrival visa, then just use your US passport, register and pay the fee. If it's something more complicated, like requiring you to visit that country's embassy or mail your passport in, then I would seek the options that Olduser and MikeE described. I am curious about your Spanish passport: if there is a name change due to marriage locally, the name cannot be changed on the passport?

F1 Visa Revoked at interview
SteveInBostonI130 replied to Emphasis-'s topic in Student & Exchange Visitor Visas
It is unusual to go for another A.S. degree if you already completed one. Natural progression is to go for a B.S. I would hire someone who spent those extra 2 years getting a B.S or working. Multiple A.S., to me, would be an indication that the candidate has no idea what they want to do and is perhaps a career student. -
USCIS doesn't have knowledge of all country's official BC requirements. They just need to confirm the family member relationship. AoS doesn't need an official.BC. I'm not sure why you submitted it. It needs confirmation that you are a USC or LPR. NVC does check to see if the BC is official or not. They know the requirements for each country and makes aure the BC is they correct type.
