    If you're struggling with bills right now, it's only going to get worse if you need to support another person who won't be able to legally work for a long time. Last I checked, work permits were taking 8+ months. You can check the timelines on this website for a more accurate idea.

    I can think of a few reasons: if the husband didn't want his wife to know how much he was earning, and/or he wasn't declaring all his income to the IRS.

    @Dashinka nailed it. Whatever your stepdaughter does, she must NOT get married before she enters the US and activates her LPR status. As an aside, 18/20 years old is still pretty young and a lot can change. Best for your stepdaughter to activate her green card, get used to life in the US, get a stable job of her own, and THEN if she still wants to petition the guy, she can get married and file for him herself.

    When you say "no paper work was filed", do you mean to say it was the informal kind of adoption so common in the Philippines where the biological parents basically just give their child to another couple? Who are the parents listed on the birth certificate of the adopted child (now over 21 years old)?

    I personally don't have any solutions to offer OP apart from contacting the US embassy, or maybe just booking another flight with another airline while they are in South Korea. I think this thread is a good example of how immigration policy in theory differs from practice. OP followed the advice given to present the CBP memo about expired green cards during travel, and in theory they should have been able to reach the US. But in practice, despite citing official CBP policy on expired green cards, OP was denied boarding at the transit airport. Now they are stuck between their country of origin and the USA.

    @Hopeful2022 sorry to hear this happened to you. @Mike E @Chancy @mindthegap Given that OP was refused boarding at the transit airport, any ideas how to proceed?

    Getting a US passport while in the UK will probably be the most convenient option.

    Depending on what you said in the withdrawal letter, be prepared to face difficult questions during the AOS interview. Example, if you said "I don't want to financially support someone completely for an unknown period of time", the officer can begin to doubt if you have a legitimate marriage (since spouses are expected to support each other financially and the US citizen spouse is expected to understand and accept their sponsorship obligations before signing all those forms).

    As a general rule, I stay polite on public posts so I don't have to bother with angry DMs. There are, however, those rare special people who take offense when none was meant. I report any angry DMs and adjust my forum settings to ignore that user going forward.

    I believe this is the root of the confusion. You, the husband, have always been the primary sponsor for your spouse's green card. Even when you were unemployed. The other sponsors you mentioned are called "joint sponsors" here on VJ, and while they demonstrated the financial ability to support your wife even when you couldn't, that does not make them the primary sponsor in the eyes of USCIS. You are and have been from the start.

    Also be aware that someone could have stolen this person's photos and made a phony LinkedIn account just to scam people.

    Lots of typos and asking for money to process a work visa. This is a scam. Don't be tempted by their empty promises to secure you a work visa.
