Tye OP is not the one who checked

This particular batch is a bit Salty… https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/12/us/immigration-records-lawsuit-limestone-caves-cec/index.html

Your problem when speaking w USCIS is the choice of words you use. .. For example in your previous posts and this one , you keep referring to a “ second interview “ when it is actually a “ first” specific to the I-751. The bit about the “ NVC” tells me that USCIS rep was telling you about the old I-129 F , so don’t get discouraged it’s common to have confusing conversations w tier one reps. Every time you inquire about your case, say you are following up on the I-751 . Did you fly to Hungary as planned ?

You are an effective and very good writer, state your case and address each of the possible flags that may have been raised…leave no elephant in the room. So , yes confront head on the of past / marriages, the age difference and the length of your current marriage. ..you will absolutely prevail .

Do yourself a favor and pay for advice you are willing to value. As @Mike E tried to illustrate , there is every day usage and legal context . I for one, am not guessing and neither was he. As for them “ looking into you” …if you got your visa , you have met ALL the legal requirements and we welcome you …at the I-485 stage , you will have your biometric/ fingerprints taken and will again clear all hurdles. Glad you made it unscathed through what I can only imagine was a less than glamorous childhood…

Agree very loudly. Especially since question #8 is a politically correct phrase for asking if applicant ever worked as a pimp or pimp-ess

You keep asking a TAX question and You seem to be stuck and insisting that some date or other on the I-407 dictates when YOU abandoned your status. The I-407 just creates a record , you abandonment is voluntary therefore it can be effective for TAX purposes NOW, the moment you sign and mail it…regardless of how long it takes for them to process it and also update it on the system. As for your travel plans, best you can do is carry a copy of the I-407 with you. https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM020202.html 2) (U) You should keep in mind that it is not the statement relinquishing LPR status by itself, but the absence of a fixed continuous, uninterrupted intent to permanently reside in the United States, that results in the loss of LPR status.

1. Start with a Sworn Affidavit from you ( USC Petitioner) attesting to the commitment and validity of your marriage. Very clearly state that you flew down to Egypt to support your spouse during the interview and make yourself available to the CO. ( show itinerary, passport, photos ).lad a couple of other details, such as we want to have children ( or not), you could not obtain ITIN for him and thus file joint taxes…explain you could not add him to US credit accounts or utility accounts until he joins you in the US..( THIS IS FLUFF ..but important to highlight) …Google a Health Directive POA from your state of residence and both of you sign/ complete and state you have not drawn up a will or testament yet . ***** Spell out any hardships the separation is causing: medical/ emotional distress/ job loss risk if any and NICELY ask for discretion ***** . Should try to get it Notarized at Embassy before you leave. 2. Do a couple of new Affidavits from his parents that support you lived at/ visited them during this IV visa interview ( add fancy local stamps or notary) 3. Go to his mosque/ church and ask the imam/ priest to write a letter of reference for you two as a married couple..they can mention they know the family for x years

Most marriages in Yemen are arranged and evidence of such cultural/ religious customs get no push back either at USCIS or Consulate stage for lack of the western norms of dating / courtship . I trust OP is a discerning reader and has read engagement in her thread to show the chances of getting waiver are slim to none..if the religion is any of denominations discussed. Pointing out that getting past USCIS with a Good Letter …from some Good News Church..I.e. , doesn’t guarantee getting past Consulate , where they rely on local intelligence from natives in the know. Though there are are plenty of forced marriages / child marriage and restrictions on women in Yemen…don’t think it applies to OP, who I believe is the girl/ woman and USC Petitioner in this case. …still I would not encourage marriage in Yemen..BUT do see Utah Zoom online marriage as easy solution.

Your husband should apply for I-131 Advance Parole for DACA , then make a quick trip and his re entry will allow him to file AOS-I-485 from within the US instead of Consular processing.

Yes to above. Some nationwide resources , like Catholic Charities , with tel contact info was actually provided by the CA court in earlier link. Hear it is …definitely time sensitive since boy is 17 https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/EN_SIJSLOPCProvidersContactInfo.pdf

You are on track w SIJ but that needs to be started now as some family courts won’t grant classification if he turns 18. Link is for California… https://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-sijs.htm?rdeLocaleAttr=en

Search on this forum and others for members dealing with Afghanistan, ask her family and local connections to help . https://www.voanews.com/a/taliban-make-millions-from-passports-issued-to-fleeing-afghans/6715133.html “I paid $800 in bribes and illicit commissions to get a passport,” said Farzana, an Afghan woman who has applied for a U.S. visa in Pakistan and preferred not to use her surname in this article. Not much help from me, other than engaging so you get exposure and hopefully many responses

I did not doubt that, I looked on their web site and they are Bible based and there was a picture showing a mixed congregation. Makes you wonder how they ever marry if they can not marry somebody they have met. They have to marry somebody who does not go to the same church? Clearly USCIS lacked both faith and humor. First of all the pastor ( who started as a Protestant , then Catholic and ultimately a prophet ) also had a church in the beneficiaries country of birth and beneficiary was a member….

The Good New Message Church cited in the denial is however a real church… https://en.eglisebonnouveaumessagekcc.org/

And here is a successful/ approved waiver supported by a letter from the temple pundit..which is why I always encourage Hail Mary efforts. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/D6 - Fiancees and Fiances of U.S. Citizen (K-1)/Decisions_Issued_in_2018/JUL112018_02D6101.pdf The Petitioner has established that discretionary waivers both of the two-year in person meeting requirement and of the IMBRA limitation are warranted

This particular “ pastor” who wrote the letter was also the father of the bride… lol so it’s an example of what OPs letter should not be. Will see other AAO decisions

Here’s a Jan 2022 denial of an appeal where case is similar to OP . Waiver will be next door to impossible. Best course is to give it a Hail Mary shot at RFE, but book next flight to Yemen , get married and file I-130, don’t waste time appealing the inevitable denial. For the following reasons, the evidence ofrecord is insufficient to establish that an in-person meeting would violate the strict and long-established customs of the Beneficiary's foreign culture or social practice. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/D6 - Fiancees and Fiances of U.S. Citizen (K-1)/Decisions_Issued_in_2022/JAN052022_02D6101.pdf

Thanks @Kanja..just watched my first Fulani Sharo Festival 😅

You are right…I looked at the section that designated the consulate. Hopefully members more intimate knowledge of Islamic sects can shed light on existence of this strict practice.

Your profile indicates your fiancé is from Ethiopia. 1. Intent to marry letter was needed from BOTH the petitioner and beneficiary. Sounds like only “ he “ signed and sent one at filing .. 2. I am not aware of any group in Ethiopia that forbids ( cultural or religious taboos) the future spouses from meeting in person to satisfy requirement for I-129 F. Even the most orthodox of Jewish , Christian or Islamic sects, at most forbid the couple to spend time together unchaperoned . What is your religion?

You did a very good job of getting your points in, pat yourself on the back. I would delete everything from the “ I genuinely believed…” details w doctor follow up. You could consider numbering or bullet pointing your 3 arguments and do not bold the source . Enjoy your evening and have a bit of fun…imagine the smile on the Supreme Court Justices when they read this brief a few weeks ago: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/20221003125252896_35295545_1-22.10.03 - Novak-Parma - Onion Amicus Brief.pdf “ Tu stultus es. You are dumb. “ And on an even lighter note https://www.hoganlegal.com/funny-judicial-opinions/

Redact your name/ A# and adress and upload…I am sure you will get valuable feedback from many….and could serve as a helpful resource for others in the future…

If you want to try , here’s a How to Link, but you will notice they indicate the death of a direct grandparent ( of your wife) would qualify , so may nor be granted since it is your grandparent. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-expeditedappointment.asp Purpose of travel is to attend the funeral of or make arrangements for repatriating the body of an immediate family member (mother, father, brother, sister, child, grandparent, or grandchild) in the United States. Essential documentation: A letter from the funeral director stating the contact information, the details of the deceased and the date of the funeral. You must also present evidence that the deceased is an immediate relative.
