General questions about US Immigration
Boiler replied to ahhaat's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
Getting a job on a H2b is not that easy, it is generally oversubscribed and of course you need a US Employer willing to go through the process. Committing to move without having an obvious way to move is fairly pointless. -
If you want to work in the US you need an E2

Question Concerning Visa
Boiler replied to Zed01203's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
I am not sure why this was raised, there is nothing to suggest it would be applicable here and in numerous prior discussions on this subject people far more familiar with religious practices than I am have conformed it is not an issue. I have seen one waiver granted I remember, a very different situation to this. -
Not something I have seen around here, but then the high yesterday was 13F. The bottom line: Brazilians perfect tans with electrical tape bikinis https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/09/brazil-rio-electrical-tape-bikini-tan-line Summer has arrived in Rio de Janeiro and, away from the city’s beaches, business is booming in the rooftop tanning salons that dot the city’s low-income neighbourhoods. On these sun-soaked terraces, overlooking the urban sprawl and packed with women of all ages and sizes, the accessory of choice is electrical tape. This unorthodox adornment is the secret to what has become a Rio fashion trademark: crisp bikini tan lines so perfect they are almost fluorescent. But not everyone is a fan. The practice horrifies dermatologists, and some Brazilians consider tape tan lines to be tacky and even vulgar. “The dream is to have a mark like a neon light. When it looks like someone painted [the tan lines] on to you,” says Larissa Cardoso, 29, who runs a rooftop tanning salon above her home in a favela in western Rio. As well as an electrical tape bikini applied directly on to the body, a careful sunbathing procedure must be followed to obtain the coveted marquinha de fita (“little tape mark”), as the clean-cut tan lines are called in Portuguese. “I don’t get tan lines easily. With the tape, it works,” says Paola Santos, 25, who was finally getting her little mark back in December after a 10-month tanning hiatus while she had a baby. “I couldn’t wait to come back,” she adds

Question Concerning Visa

That is one of the disadvantages of long distance relationships, time and cost, I assume here we are talking very long distance. Being blunt that is your issue to resolve, a different job? -
Question Concerning Visa
Boiler replied to Zed01203's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
Never do anything on the first visit. I do not like the K1 anyway but obviously in this sort of case there are issues with the Family agreeing for a daughter to leave unmarried. Get a visit in and look to go the marriage route. -
To state the obvious she swore under oath twice that she was married. Probably does not help that you did not know, questions the relationship. I assume they returned the case to USCIS as they approved the I 130 not knowing about these issues. There are two options in my mind. Refile an I 130 being upfront about her past situation. File a Writ of Mandamus to get action on the current case. Either way this is going to be a long and expensive process with possibly an insoluble road block. I would also be working on a plan B.

Normally a Consulate would issue a RFE for the missing document, in this case the Divorce Certificate from the prior marriage. If they believe that she was not married previously then they would refuse the visa bot give the opportunity of filing a waiver, most well prepared waivers are approved. I do not think I have heard of a case being returned, well not for this reason, certainly for other reasons. Do you know why the case was returned. Which Consulate?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/08/americas/the-walking-route-how-an-underground-industry-is-helping-migrants-flee-china-for-the-us/index.html Bundled in hoodies and jackets, they huddled around fires as they, and others there, counted the time before US border control agents would take them away for processing – and what they hoped would be the start to their lives in America. These arrivals are part of a staggering new trend. In the first 11 months of 2023, more than 31,000 Chinese citizens were picked up by law enforcement crossing illegally into the US from Mexico, government data shows – compared with an average of roughly 1,500 per year over the preceding decade. For $9,000 to $12,000, travelers can pay smugglers to arrange transportation for parts of the journey north, as well as a boat and guide for the optional rainforest crossing, all inclusive. For those able to spend more, at least $20,000, the route gets easier: for example, help with a multiple-entry visa to Japan, which unlocks visa-free entry to Mexico, and transport to the border. It’s not clear how many are taking those curated routes, but the offerings suggest a range of economic backgrounds among the border-bound. CNN compiled the information on these options by speaking with smugglers and others familiar with the industry, as well as from information in online tutorials. Those from China who travel overland typically take what’s become a well-worn route from Quito to Tulcan, a small city perched on the border with Colombia. There, residents told CNN they see hundreds – if not thousands – of Chinese migrants passing from Ecuador to Colombia each week.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/19/trump-colorado-presidential-ballot-disqualified-14th-amendment In a historic decision, the justices ordered that he be removed from the state’s presidential primary ballot, after determining that he engaged in insurrection on 6 January 2021. The ruling sets up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to settle whether the January 6 attack on the Capitol amounted to an insurrection, and whether Trump’s involvement disqualifies him from running for office. The 4-3 decision by the Colorado supreme court marks the first time a presidential candidate has been deemed unqualified for office under a rarely used provision that bars insurrectionists from holding office. “A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court, whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors, wrote in its ruling. Trump has vowed to appeal to the US supreme court, his campaign said. “We have full confidence that the US supreme court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits,” said Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson. These are the same people who keep on going on about defending Democracy. You must admit it is hilarious. Amusingly using such a broad brush interpretation I can see Old Joe having the same issues. Where does it stop? All the Dem states ban Trump and all the Repub States ban Old Joe?
