    No such thing as US citizens petitioning or sponsoring someone for a tourist visa. The less involvement form the US citizen relative, the better. Otherwise, it’s pretty difficult to overcome the immigrant intent if a US citizen is inviting or “sponsoring” (financially or otherwise) the trip.

    Contrary to popular belief, invitation letters do nothing but harm the case. First it’s not a required document and second, it just solidifies the possible immigrant intent of the applicant, especially if it’s an American spouse.
  4. powerpuff
    Correct.

    Not an issue, we were/are the same way (do not like posting on social media). I believe the social media section on DS-160 is more for security/background check purposes rather than relationship evidence.

    Yes. One just needs a look at the Visa bulletin to see the difference in the processing time.

    And did I say anything about not being able to file for a step brother….? My point still stands. There, I even edited my previous post for you.

    You certainly can (and should as an insurance) but it’ll be much much longer than your parent petitioning them once they become an LPR. Your STEP-brother, even if a minor, cannot be a derivative/added to your parent’s petition because IR5 category (parent of a US citizen) does not allow derivatives.

    Yes that’s the one. I took a screenshot of mine, take a look:

    That’s correct. Green cards for spouses of GC holders are numerically limited each year per the law which creates a long backlog of cases.

    The list looks good to me. If you have any shared health insurance, you can include that too. Another idea is print out of your employer’s portal page where it shows your spouse as an emergency contact and, if you have this, a beneficiary of any life insurance (both of our jobs offer that). don’t forget the G-1125 e-notification form. I ultimately included quarterly bank statements instead of monthly. You should do what makes you comfortable

    If you petition as a GC holder, it’ll be about 5 years and the category is F2A. You can also file now and when you become a US citizen, you can convert it into a IR1, spouse of a US citizen.

    Three off topic posts and two quoting them , in violation of the my instruction above, were removed. Cease all political discussion and stick to the immigration process. Start a thread in the CEHT forum as instructed above if you wish to have that sort of a debate. VJ Moderation

    The actual interview letter doesn’t list these as required. Please refer to the actual interview letter. For the medical, in the USCIS letter it says “If required….” which isn’t the case here. Although there are cases where USCIS loses the medical and they would require you to complete one. You should make copies of all original supporting documents (marriage, birth certificates) and bring them in case they want to keep it. This one is in the USCIS interview letter.

    *** Topic moved from Bringing Family Members of US citizens (other than spouses) to CR1/IR1 spousal visaforum as this is a spousal visa case *** This is reminder to keep the thread free of politics and other debates not relevant to the immigration process. Feel free to start a thread in the Current Events and Hot Topics forum section for that purpose. VJ Moderation Mod hat off COVID vaccine remains a mandatory part of the medical. Otherwise, you have an option to file a waiver based on religious/moral exemption grounds that will prolong your case by roughly 2 years. A good attorney is able to assist, but I’ve also seen cases of successful DIY’s if you’re willing to put in work and research.

    I try not to open files I have to download but I see from the link @Dashinka posted. Yes, I agree the key is after the issuance of your husband’s visa (since you’re not the intending immigrant). We don’t see cases like this often here. The only concern is if the child would be boarded on a flight by the airline employees, I would think yes if it’s a UK passport.

    *** Topic moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures *** then I’m afraid there’s no other way than filing I-130 with USCIS. You may try to expedite but that’s not guaranteed. I think you mean petitions were approved, visas can be approved only after an interview. Did you get Documentarily qualified (DQ) by NVC?
  23. powerpuff
    It’s surprising to see an attorney is up to date on latest processing information. Usually they give very outdated info. You should take the attorney’s advice. I did K1 back in 2020 and if I were to do this all over again, I’d go with CR1.

    Agreed, I never thought before about the fraud involving the U visa. It’s a disservice to actual victims.
