    Personally, I’d just wait for the transcript to become available for download. If you’ve filed recently then hopefully it won’t be long. But if not then yes, follow the instructions carefully and submit just the actual return. Good luck.

    I’m not sure what you mean by ‘matriarchal duties’ are but unless they’re for young children that she’d be leaving behind, that’s not a tie. Neither are revenue sources. Only the family business is a tie but what do you mean by ‘overseeing’? Is she actually running the business day to day? If she was only refused last month then reapplying again isn’t going to help. Unless anything’s changed with her circumstances then it’ll be refused again and she’ll look even more desperate. When was the first application? I’d leave it at least a year, and as @TBoneTX said, get her to visit other countries before applying again. In the meantime, you visit her. Good luck.

    I-130’s are processed by USCIS (who have nothing to do with visitor visas).

    If he can afford to immigrate to the US, surely he can also afford to pay the fee to avoid conscription in Turkey? I agree he's not likely to qualify for asylum if those are his only grounds, the question will be where is he in a couple of years when it actually comes to the interview.

    Don't send it again! If you know it got there this time then it's just a case of waiting for it to be either be accepted or rejected. Did you do the G-1145 form as well so you get a text when it's accepted?
  26. appleblossom
    Ah. Quite a few I believe, although it's odd that they haven't taken payment. Did you do the G-1145?
  27. appleblossom
    What does tracking say for the first package? At least you know the second got there, I think you're just expecting things too early, it can take several weeks to get NOA1 so I'm sure you'll get it soon. Good luck.
  28. appleblossom
    Sounds like the first one never got there. What does tracking say for that one and which address did they get sent to? How did you pay the fees and how much?
  29. appleblossom
    Are you sure? Plenty of posts in the K-1 forum saying the opposite, and info on the internet. https://www.sglegalgroup.com/blog/the-immigrant-visa-pause-and-the-k-1-solution-why-fiances-can-still-move-forward It seems this is a rare instance of the k-1 being a superior visa choice at the moment!
  30. appleblossom
    Why not have a look at the form and see if you think you’d be happy completing it yourself? I’ve not applied for citizenship but from what I’ve read on the forum it’s the easiest part of the whole process, and very few use a lawyer to do it. Unless there’s some complication you’ve not mentioned, I’d save your money and do it yourself (with the excellent help on VJ of course!).
  31. appleblossom
    Then I’ll move the thread to the Family of USC’s sub-forum as it’s not a spouse visa. Good luck.
  32. appleblossom
    You’ve not actually said, are they Pakistani? Any other citizenships? If they’re just Pakistani then they can’t get a visa, as @milimelo said they will be interviewed but then the case will be held. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/immigrant-visa-processing-updates-for-nationalities-at-high-risk-of-public-benefits-usage.html

    But you’re not in? So that’s not relevant to you. Definitely stick to consular processing, or all of this wait could have been for nothing. Good luck.
  34. appleblossom
    Once it’s current he’ll be added to the line for an interview, you don’t need to do anything. His age is ‘locked in’ when a visa becomes available to him, so it won’t matter if it retrogresses.
  35. appleblossom
    It’s illegal to enter the US as a visitor if your actual intention is to adjust status and try and stay. It wouldn’t matter when you filed, it would still be immigration fraud. So don’t do it. Visit (if you already have a valid B visa) but then return and go through consular processing as planned.
