Family based immigration.

[Austinbrut 0]

Hello All,

I am new here and would like your earnest contributions to my case. My brother in-law is an American citizen and my mother in-law is a permanent resident in state too, and my mother in-law had file in for my wife for an immigrant visa that has been approved before our marriage but no date yet for the interview as I was told it takes time because of the long awaiting list of visa applicant.

My questions now are;

1. Should we notify USCIS of her marital status change and have her petition cancelled?

2. Should we have her brother cancel the approved petition and have him apply again to accommodate me in the application?

3. Should we just pretend we were never married since her mum had petitioned for her and the application approved?

Please advice.

Note: I have a non-immigrant visa to US that will expire next year and can always get it renewed when expired.

Your wife's mother filed a case with USCIS while she was a Permanent Resident for her daughter who was not married??

if the case is at the nvc. notify them.

2. Should we have her brother cancel the approved petition and have him apply again to accommodate me in the application?

if you are talking about the petition filed by her mother, then yes.

3. Should we just pretend we were never married since her mum had petitioned for her and the application approved?

dont do this.. you're going to cause you, your wife to be barred from coming to the USA. No tricks

you can do this... you'll have to

her marriage would cancel out the petition... if her mother file while she was a permanent resident and she got married and her mother's status was the same.

With US immigration, you always want to be upfront and credible with your info all the time or else it could cause you heart aches afterwards. her brother can file for her or her mother can refile for her if she is now a US citizen( though the difference in wait time between the two is not that much).

If you dnt plan on doing either,you dnt have to notify USCIS imo .. her being married automatically cancels the petition.

A word of caution, the fact that you have a non immigrant visa does not guarantee a successful renewal attempt when it expires( especially if they see in their records that you now have an immigrant intent).

There was a Nigerian case on another board where he had lied about his marital status and age trying to get a visitor visa.

So now he married a USC and is having 'issues' with him immigrant application.

Absolute classic and looks like here we go again.

In some countries where money over comes laspes in honesty people have a hard time dealing with getting caught in a lie and not having an fee based path forward.

My questions now are;

1. Should we notify USCIS of her marital status change and have her petition cancelled? Yes. An LPR cannot petition for a married child. Once her daughter got married, the petition was automatically revoked. Either the petitioner or the beneficiary should inform USCIS or the NVC to cancel the petition. If the petition is not cancelled - it will be processed as if the beneficiary is still single - which means no visa because she is not eliglble and no refund of any fees paid.

2. Should we have her brother cancel the approved petition and have him apply again to accommodate me in the application? Yes. Cancel the petition filed by the LPR mother. USC can file for a married or unmarried sibling. USC brother can file for his married sister.

3. Should we just pretend we were never married since her mum had petitioned for her and the application approved? Only if you want to commit fraud. Representing her as single while she is married will result in a lifetime ban from the US. Is she willing to risk never being able to immigrate to the US? There is absolutely no waiver or way to fix this. No "coffee money" will help. Done. Finished. Game over. Enjoy never being able to travel to the US.

Please advice.
