You are putting the cart before the horse. Your current aim is for a student visa. You need to check with someone who specializes in that. The various references you posted was about USCIS not considering your juvenile event as convictions in regard to immigration. Your challenge it to find out if the US State Department also has the same policy or guideline about ignoring/forgiving juvenile offences. From what I have read, it doesn't seem so. But that is just an educated guess on my part.

There is the old saying: You can get it done correctly, get it done quick, or get it done cheap. Two of the above can be combined, but it will exclude the third: -Cheap and quick, but not correctly. -Cheap and correct, but not quickly. -Quick and correct, but costly. There are horror stories here of "affordable" lawyers causing delays and/or making major mistakes.

Instructions states "court certified copies" or "copies of court certified copies"?

You are applying for a student visa. You are not applying for immigration.

What "online" account? Your IRS account or H&R account. Check your IRS account and download the tax transcripts.

From the website you linked: CR1 is faster than K1, according to them. EDIT: Go to USCIS official processing time website: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Select I-129F, then K1, then California processing center (California is the default center for I-129F's). Today they are showing 16 months to process 80% of K-1 cases. I-130, for Spouse of USC, at the 5 service centers is 13 - 14.5 months.

Were you arrested? Were you charged? Was the charges dismissed? Did you go to court? Were the charges not dismissed and were you found innocent? Were the charges not dismissed and were you found guilty or plead guilty? This is a consideration under the USCIS's immigration handbook. F-1 is not an immigration visa. It is a non-immigrant visa handled by the State dept. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/ineligibilities-and-waivers-2/arrest-caution-conviction/#:~:text=Arrest%2C Caution%2C Conviction&text=In cases where an arrest,to United States visa law. UK's DOS website doesn't distinguish between juvenile and adult convictions, so the website above may or may not apply to you.

For Philippines, as long as your AGI qualifies the occupation doesn't seem to matter.

I assume this is supplemental income? That is, you do not consider yourself a full time manager working 40 hours per week for your rental property? Technically your status is unemployed or retired. Self employed people would pay quarterly taxes and also pay double SSI and medicare. You can claim $53k as your AGI, as evident on rental income in your transcript or schedule E.

You cannot apply for a B2 visa from within the US. You will have to return to the UK and apply from there. As others have mentioned, there are risks when pursuing the B2 from a VWP country.

AWA is enforced for K1 fiance petitions. I have not heard it being applied to I-130. I assume that is because for a K1, the gov. want to help prevent the marriage to a potential DV abuser. For I-130, the couple are already married.

OP was DQ'd at NVC June 2021. Petitioner died Feb 2021. I would assume the I-130 was approved before the petitioner passed. F3 would mean the case was approved and sat at NVC for several years, typically. @Tina A, when was the I-130 approved and sent to NVC?

Nov 28 is 3 weeks from now. You could probably reschedule to the first or second week of Dec? Transferring would most definitely take longer, and would take some coordination to get both consulates to agree.to a transfer. Do you have exceptional circumstances that warrant an expedite? Having to reschedule is not a valid reason.

Make sure your CR1 visa doesn't expire by then. You should be given 6 months from the medical, but there have been cases when it was less.

No. 5 years ago the fiance visa was quicker. After the pandemic, fiance visas take about the same amount of time.

I-130 and I-130A can be filed online. If you do, you will use the online receipt number for the I-130 on the I-485. I-485 has to be paper and mailed. Same for I-864. It is easier just to do everything on paper and send it in as one package. G-1145 is for text notification. I-131 for advanced parole, I-765 for employment authorization. If she they have their EAD and SSN, i would skip I-765. I would file all the rest.

1. Yes 2. Order of events: 2.a. Complete the DS-160 2.b. Pay the fee 2.c. Use the payment receipt number to schedule the K-1 interview 2.d. Bring the DS-160 confirmation page to the interview (along with other documents/items)

1. Use the tax tables. If it is for 2023 taxes to be filed in Jan 2024, you will also be penalized for not submitting quarterly payments in 2023. There are work tables to calculate the penalties, or just submit the normal amount and get a bill later with more interest penalties on top of the quarterly payment penalties. 2. MFJ: Spouse and dependents will need SSN or ITIN. It is better (easier) to file MFS and amend it after you immigrate and everyone has SSN.

How long was she here on ESTA before you got married and submitted the I-485?

From what I have seen/read, the CO will not waive the requirement and instead will give you a 221g (? - I think this is the form number) asking to submit the certificate. Let the CO know what the consulate told you about the timing to give you enough time to respond.

If you have the Diya app (also called the Diia app), you can request gov documents through that. The App name is the cyrillic "D" + "i" + reverse R (Ya): Дія. If you don't have the app already set up, it will be difficult to do so from outside Ukraine. For identity confirmation, you will need to provide a Ukrainian bank account in your name. There are a few websites that offer "services" to get the Police cert for you, but I would not trust them. Things have changed drastically since the war and the information I've seen on those sites are outdated. The best method if you do not have Diya is to go to an Ukrainian consulate in your country. If your country does not have one, try to locate one closest to you that you can travel to. It is odd that you were DQ'd by NVC without the Ukrainian police clearance certificate.

It doesn't hurt to try. I would base the expedite request on emotional support for your first pregnancy.

Trying to expedite the B2 for childcare may backfire. Is there a medical issue why you can't take care of yourself and your child?

Yes. Biometrics completed on Aug 4. Is there a number or email for the CA consulate or the visa processing department that I can contact?

Hello, My nephew is Ukrainian and my wife and I want to take him to Montreal, and possibly Toronto and Niagara Falls (CA side). We helped him apply for a visitor visa in mid July, and he went to his biometrics in the beginning of August. The Visit Canada website stated that it takes about 34 days for processing. It has been 2 months and I'm wondering what is the best method to ask about how much longer it would take. Basically, if there is a phone number or email, or even an office near Boston (we can travel to New York, if needed) for us to call/email/visit.
