    The person you are really messing up is your older daughter. She will grow up feeling like an American, but will NOT be one. She has no path to a GC unless she marries an American.

    Yup

    Before you file i-130, do you qualify for direct consular filing? Can you get a US based job offer?

    I have helped a few on Reddit who did not know that they were U.S. citizens at birth (seems to rife in Canada). 1) was your daughter born in wedlock? If not, you need to have spent only ONE year in the U.S. prior to her birth. 2) in wedlock - 5 years, 2 of those after 14. 3) are either of your parents US citizens with the required 5/2 residence? She would qualify by filing N600k.

    Buy her a plane ticket and apply for 1st time passport.

    How did you become a U.S. citizen?
  18. manyfudge
    Answer is no.
  19. manyfudge
    Asked and answered. There is no space on an i130 or i140 or DV form for a second spouse. ZERO. Man can divorce one wife. Talaq, talaq, talaq while wife is not menstruating. Be fair and give generous spousal support. Man can include ALL of the children + one wife. Exwife can be sponsored by a USC child once that child is 21. When exwife comes, you can cohabit without getting married. Immigration is only difficult for POLYGAMOUS Muslim men.

    It seems fairly clearcut. I'm going to leave out diversity - how he have filled out the diversity entry is probably his best way forward (and divorce the other one). Polygamy is legal for Muslim men in most Muslim countries. If the husband is a US dual citizen, then he broke the law. Pick one wife, divorce the other. It is arguable whether the non US wife broke any laws here. So ASSUMING US wife is sponsoring him, then he has to go with that US wife and divorce the other. The US wife (however) broke US laws by practicing polygamy - so entirely possible embassy will never give him an immigrant visa. ASSUMING someone else is sponsoring him, he WASN'T committing a crime by practicing polygamy. Now that he desires a US green card, he must divorce one of the wives. That wife gets to immigrate with him. He will have GREAT difficulty bringing the other wife even if he divorces 1st wife and sponsors the other. Someone who is of the mindset that polygamy is OK (given the great SOCIAL costs of legal polygamy in Muslim countries) should maybe reconsider his decision to immigrate.

    Just gave you guidance. 1) f you are the US citizen (note that you it is a grey area whether you BROKE the law by practicing polygamy even though you have only 1 spouse): Your husband must divorce wife number 2. You (as ONLY wife) may sponsor him. It must be a real divorce. He can sponsor his children by the 2nd wife. He must make sure to add them to his i130A and DS260. He can never THINK to sponsor the 2nd wife by divorcing you and marrying her. 2) If someone ELSE is sponsoring your husband (be it employer or his US parent or his US child): Your husband MUST pick one of you to divorce. Could be wife 1 (you) or wife (2). He can sponsor all his children.

    A few, yes. Anecdotally, on reddit - there are complaints by Eb3 unskilled filers who admit to using agencies - they are assigned to jobs that don't pay enough for where they live. You'll see on Hacking, people who get GCs when they arrive but there is no job for them. Hacking is very suspicious but if you make yourself available for the job, I don't think it's a scam. Maybe just never naturalize and be happy with a GC. There is a website that claims to show the employers who file for EB3 petitions. You can't sort by unskilled/agencies BUT you can sort by salaries. https://www.myvisajobs.com/reports/green-card/ My hunch is that salaries under 50k, 40k are EB3 unskilled positions. Top industries are poultry and other food processing jobs. There looks to be a high rate of approvals, so I'm sure the process completes and I'm also confident that "Wayne Farms" and "Catfish ..." recruit through agencies. If one looks at where those factories are located and add a google search for "recruitment agencies", I'm sure you can figure out the name of the agencies. Back when M was active, he said that he thought it was a little known but (relatively) cheap way of getting a green card. Better than EB5 if you think about it - no conditions to be removed.

    Absolutely, CSPA matters. It's a matter of law. If you are under 21 according to calculations, you qualify as a derivative. Let's rewind. 1) date of filing of application (i130) 2) date of approval of i130 3) What month and year did you turn 21?
  24. manyfudge
    Just intellectual curiosity. Tons of people on various expat forums talk about it openly. Nobody puts a name to the agencies. It's fine - @Family, there's probably a public resource out there naming ALL the Eb3 sponsoring agencies. I happen to be curious about the cottage industries springing up around getting people workbased visas. @Kate8kate0, divorce does not impact either of you whatsoever in terms of green cards. There are no conditions to remove.
  25. manyfudge
    @Family, not as much as 30k. Mercan and BDV are mentioned quite a bit.
