AOS HELP

[peonyflowers99 4]

Hello there,

We cam here on a K3/k4 visa, on Jan, 2008, we sent our AOS in feb 2008, got RFE for the income on March 2008, had the biometrics done on April 2008.

Now I come at the end of the timeline they give us to find a co sponsor and send back the infos, my husband couldn't find any co sponsor, therefore after numerous phone calls with immigration attorneys, our last option is to go back because my husband is short 5800$. The joke is on me, I give up on my life in Switzerland to start a new life here, I improved his house, I have to go back and start from zero, no job, no place to live, broke. Everyone of them said it will be better to leave before they deport us!!! Deportation mean : handcuffed and drugged up! We are not criminals, we did not broke any law, and we will leave before the end of the month, so when USCIS will get the letter, we will be gone.

I messed up my kids life and mine.

Be carefull you all!

Cheers

If your husband don't have a co-sponsor, you really don't to file the AOS applications until you have everything and met the requirement because you have a K3 visa which is valid for two years, or better still you should had filed for EAD first both of you work and save up enough then file for the AOS at a later time when you have met the poverty guideline.....I really don't know what's going to happen but if there was a way I will say cancel the AOS application and file later when you have met the requirements, I am not sure if that's possible, but definitely someone will come around and tell you better..

Good luck....

I urge you not to give up so soon. Something will come up and like the previous person said, your K3 visa is valid for a little while longer. Sometimes the USCIS officers do not tell you all of the options available to you because they don't always know all the options. If you read many posts in this forum you will discover that there were many people that were given incorrect information and/or advice by USCIS officers across the country. They will NOT deport you at this stage because you have not done anything wrong. There are people who have been approved for a green card after overstaying their visas for 5 or more years so the chances of them coming after you are slim to none. I'm not saying overstay or anything but for right now, you need to put off going back to Switzerland and make sure that you have exhausted all your options before you pack up and go home. My husband and I had the same problem and it took us a while to find a sponsor. Eventually a friend of mine agreed and so we sent off the paperwork. If you read my timeline, you will see that our application was rejected more than once and when we eventually sent it in, they did not penalize us. Relax, stay calm and read posts in this forum for helpful tips and advice. All the best..

I thought a K3 visa could be renewed after two years. Maybe its not the best option, but it may better than no option for the OP.

And, as pointed out above, a K3 visa is a 2-year multiple entry visa. Looks like OP is good for close to 1.5 years.
