F4 vs CR1

[Boiler 43,419]

On an F4 never has to see the Brother, just a way of entering.

point being she didn't know about the F4

Casa is known to be a difficult embassy 

and they like to ask questions about the relationships (for spouse)

he was not truthful to the USC when he married and she applied

if they see both applications,   they can (and do) assume the moroccan is visa shopping

 

 he can live with her but he has to travel to address listed for the F4 if that is approved first

and if this was my husband i would wonder if he intended to live with me

even those approved for CR1 come here, get green card and are instantly gone

i am mentioning this man may have an alternative plan

 

 

You are manufacturing concerns completely from your imagination.  It would appear she DID know about the brother's petition in her husband's behalf, as it was disclosed in answer to a question on the I-130 or I-130a.  They later determined the F4 petition is likely to reach the Consulate before the spouse petition.  Now they have some questions.  There is NO REASON for concerned.

 

He DOES NOT have to travel to the address on the F4 petition.  That petition has an address where he "intended" to live at the time the petition was filed.  He'll be asked again on his visa application and he'll update his intended address.  Pretty routine stuff, and nothing at all to worry about, Casablanca or not.

Op says she just found out (after applying for CR1)

She got this case number and after they filed CR1 realized his priority date was 2 months from being current. 

Two months from being current assuming they continue to work at the current speed and that there are the same number of petitions received each month. It’s highly possible that the next months could see a huge slow-down or even retrogression. 

 

I would keep the F-4 running until the I-130 is approved.

A friend who recently filed CR1 found out when filing that her new husband's brother had filed an F4 petition.  She got this case number and after they filed CR1 realized his priority date was 2 months from being current.

@EandH0904, did she mention the F4 I-130 on the CR-1 I-130? If yes then like @pushbrk said, this is routine.

Not correct.  Read again.  "When" not "After".
