I didn't say he had to be working - I just asked if he was.

Lack of working now would mean he might need a co-sponsor, which could explain the "wait" he may not have any willing to sign up

- also - my followup question was to see where he is, which would call into question if he was waiting to do a DCF (which could necessitate a "wait"), or establish US domicile.

EVEN IF THAT'S THE CASE,he'd tell her in 5 yrs so she wouldn't be so confused and would know why he cannot do it

That's what real husbands and wives are doing,right?

Looks like he has more excuse then a 50 year old virgin why not to petition your sister

1. He don't have to wait 5 years to petition. He can petition immediately after marriage and its faster if does it at the US embassy in Philippines.

2. It don't matter if he has PO box for address.

3. They only need last three years of tax forms not all the way back to 2004.

4. Tell him not to stall any more and to go file at the embassy. (it should only take around 3 months if all goes right)

5. Maybe he is hiding something???????

I knew a case where man was married!To annother woman in his country...

according to him the USCIS said they need to wait 5 years before they can file a petition.

Was your sister ever in the U.S.? Did she overstay a visa or otherwise break the laws? Did she receive a ban of any length of time before she would be eligible to return to the U.S.?

These questions need to be answered before people here try to tell you that "no, it is NOT true that she has to wait 5 years."

My sister has never been to US or any other foriegn country,,,she is in the philippines.

Did she overstay a visa or otherwise break the laws?

She never had a visa or any other kind of visa. She did not break any kind of laws.

Did she receive a ban of any length of time before she would be eligible to return to the U.S.?

She never receive any ban of any lenght of time.

Good to know. We can exclude those reasons. I believe that the husband needs to explain exactly what he meant by "USCIS said that we have to wait 5 years before filing." Was he lying? Was he misinformed? Is this a "white lie" that covers a different concern of his?

Petition for what? To come to the US (visa) and get a green card?

He could do a CR-1 visa right now - no need to wait, for example.

PO Box would not affect the process.

Not working in 2004 will not hurt him now. I take it he is working now? Does he live in the US or the PI?
