I have this feeling it may be one of those cases (probably during naturalization if he goes that route) that they will dig deeper and the results won't be so kind. This lie will always be over your friend's head even if he does not care.

 

Hopefully his wife knows and understands of what could potentially happen in the future if this was ever found out by immigration. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but it's his reality when playing with fire.

It's not "okay" but that's what the 601-a waiver process is. For people without a legal entry, they can't adjust status because there is not status to adjust FROM. So they need to apply for a fiance o

You would be surprised on how many VJ members have posted that at their interview the IO even knew their VJ user name.

Not just a ban...if they somehow don't notice notice it right now (unlikely IMHO), any immigration benefit obtained via that lie can be revoked once they become aware of the lie.

Well, good for him, I hope for his family's sake it doesn't come back to bite him. I hope he realizes that he got lucky and should probably not lie to immigration/his own lawyers in future but... somehow I doubt it. Best of luck.

Marriage/ AOS Timeline:

23 Dec 2015: Legal marriage

23 Jan 2016: Wedding!

23 Jan 2016: "Blizzard of the Century", wedding canceled/rescheduled (thank goodness we were legally married first or we'd have had a big problem!) :sleepy:

24 Jan 2016: Small "civil ceremony" with friends and family who were snowed in with us. December was a bit of a secret and people had traveled internationally and knew we *had* to get married that weekend, and our December legal marriage was nothing but signing a piece of paper at our priest's kitchen table, without any sort of vows etc so this was actually a very special (if not legally significant) day. (L)

16 Apr 2016: Filed for AOS and EAD/AP (We delayed a bit-- no big rush, enjoying the USCIS break)

23 Apr 2016: Wedding! Finally! :luv:

27 Apr 2016: Electronic NOA1 for all 3 :dancing:
29 Apr 2016: NOA1 Hardcopy for all 3
29 Jul 2016: Online service request for late EAD (Day 104)
29 Jul 2016: EAD/AP Approved ~3 hours after online service request
04 Aug 2016: RFE for Green Card (requested medicals/ vaccination record. They already have it). :ranting:
05 Aug 2016: EAD/AP Combo Card arrived! (Day 111)
08 Aug 2016: Congressional constituent request to get guidance on the RFE. Hoping they see they have the form and approve!

K-1 Visa Timeline:

PLEASE NOTE. This timeline was during the period of time when TSC was working on I-129fs and had a huge backlog. The average processing time was 210+ days. This is in no way predictive of your own timeline if you filed during or after April 2015, unless CSC develops a backlog. A backlog is anything above the 5-month goal time listed on USCIS's site

14 Feb 2015: Mailed I-129f to Dallas Lockbox. (L) (Most expensive Valentine's card I've ever sent!)

17 Feb 2015: NOA1 "Received Date"
19 Feb 2015: NOA1 Notice Date
08 Aug 2015: NOA2 email! :luv: (173 days from NOA1)

17 Aug 2015: Sent to NVC

?? Aug 2015: Arrived at NVC

25 Aug 2015: NVC Case # Assigned

31 Aug 2015: Left NVC for Consulate in San Jose

09 Sep 2015: Consulate received :dancing: (32 days from NOA2)

11 Sep 2015: Packet 3 emailed from embassy to me, the petitioner (34 days from NOA2).

18 Sep 2015: Medicals complete

21 Sep 2015: Packet 3 complete, my boss puts a temporary moratorium on all time off due to work emergency :clock:

02 Oct 2015: Work emergency clears up, interview scheduled (soonest available was 5 business days away--Columbus Day was in there)

13 Oct 2015: Interview

13 Oct 2015: VISA APPROVED :thumbs: (236 days from NOA1)

19 Oct 2015: Visa-in-hand

24 Oct 2015: POE !

15 Dec 2015: Fiance's mother's B-2 visa interview: APPROVED! So happy she will be at the wedding! :thumbs:

This may end up being one of those stories I read decades from now where the friend is subject to deportation for receiving an immigration benefit when he isn't entitled to it. Will blame everyone but himself for causing this mess and try to get sympathy from the public saying the US government is breaking up his family.

Obviously the need to have plans in place to relocate.

 

You never know.

Relocating won’t help because you have to report everytime u move and send a letter to the government I’m pretty sure so they will always know where he is

I think Boiler is implying that they should have a contingency plan in place should he get deported. Correct me if I'm wrong Boiler.
