Approval Rates

[MouadsWife 161]

We are petitioning my brother-in-law, who's 22 and who lives in Morocco. My husband just received his citizenship. This is new to me... do people get denied on a regular basis? Approved on a regular basis? Is it a sure thing? Just trying to keep his hopes up... but how horrible would it be to wait 10 years hoping you have a future to only get denied. What are some experiences and thoughts out there? Thanks!

10 years would be fast.

Prior immigration violations

Criminal history

Probably the two that come most to mind.

Hi,

There is no "we" in petitioning for your brother-in-law. Your husband is the only petitioner.

The I-130 will be approved based on your husband sending in his and his brother's birth certificates to prove a common parent and that they are in fact siblings.

People can be denied immigration visas for many things; US immigration violations, belonging to the Communist Party, certain crimes, ties to terrorism, etc.

There is NEVER a sure thing in US immigration.

Most people get their visas. The ones who don't have a problem that disqualifies them from getting immigrant visas.

I realise uscis does not require a 'we'. They only need one person. I simply stated 'we' because "we' are a family unit and we do things as a family unit... decisions, etc. I realise that my husband is technically the one needed, qualified party here, being the newly America Citizen. I have that (him), and he has me doing the paperwork.... hense the word 'we'. His brother is just a common 22 year old. No affiliations with anything. No criminal history. Etc.
