US Immigration from Hong Kong

I'm a US Citizen. I have a brother that used to live in HK, but recently made the move to the UK via his BNO Visa. He needs to wait another year in order to apply for a British Citizenship. In the mean time, I wanted to file a petition to have him and his wife immigrate to the USA. The end result will have them both on a dual citizenship of UK and US, and living in the US.

My question is, does filing the I-130 now affect my brother's (and his wife's) British Citizenship process in any negative way? I want to start the process now, as I know it will take a long time for the petition to go through (10+ years I believe?).

I submitted 1-130 for my mom earlier this year and my mom wants to visit for the holidays. She is coming in via visa free program so by default is 90 days stay but she only plan to stay for 30-45 days. Round trip tickets will be purchased.
Are there any concerns I should taken into? I m worry immigration see she has an open immigration application and will deny her entry worrying she may overstay?
Anything I need to prepare my mom for when she arrive at immigration/boarder control when she visit?

In 2007 I filed the I-129F for my Fianc She came to the US and we got married. 14 years later we got a divorce. Then I found love again and filed the I-129F to bring my new Fianc . NOA1 date was August 16 2023. We broke up in November. I went back to her home country in January to try and fix it however I made it worse, I sent a request to withdraw the case on February 14 2024 however it was approved NOA2 on February 29th. I then sent a withdrawal notice to the NVC and they sent my potation back the the USCIS to expire. I now am working on filing again.

Item Numbers 5.a. - 5.d. Multiple Filer Waiver Request. You must request a waiver of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA) filing limitations if: 1. You are filing this petition on behalf of your fianc (e) and you previously filed Form I-129Fs on behalf of two or more fianc (e) beneficiaries; or

You are filing this petition on behalf of your fianc (e), you have previously had a Form I-129F approved, and less than two years have passed since the filing date of your previously approved petition

So it looks like in order to file another K1 application I will need to file for the waver with my I-129F application. Does anyone know how successful that is or how long it takes? I am thinking about going back and Marring her so It won't matter. Any suggestions or knowledge would be suggestions.

Hi all,

It's been a while (2010) since we began our journey. Wife and daughter now have US citizenship. We've traveled back to China many times but would like to now bring her mom here for visit. My question is what is the current environment like to get a tourist visa for her mom or would it just be easier/faster to go the green card route. I know I'm probably not using the current vernacular but I trust you know I mean.

Thanks for your input.

I am applying US citizenship. filing N400.

here is my background info:

I came to US in 1992 with family. After i finished college and worked for a while, I left US and went back to Hong Kong in 2002.

I kept coming back to US every 5~6 months to keep my green card.

I came to US to settle down in 2019. I am still holding a green card. I have been working as software engineer till now.

I bought a house in California in 2021.

I married in Hong kong in 2012. have 2 kids. 10 and 7 years old.

Then i came to US in 5/2019, and my sister has been supporting my wife and kids financially since I left Hong Kong

I always go back to see them 3 times a year.

I am eligible to apply for citizenship.

but I divorced in Hong Kong and got a court order in 3/2024.

When I filed N400, it requires me to show court order and show that i am financially supporting my ex-wife and kids. I haven't sent them any money. So i will start wire-transferring $5000 every 2 months, starting form June 1, 2024.

I will file N400 again in Feb 2025. this way i will have some transaction record to show USCIS.

my court order only announced we are divorced, but it doesn't the detail of alimony. We didn't include this when we filed divorce because we trust each other. And my sister is willing to help.

my question is:

1) do you think the transactions record from 6/1/2024 till 2/2/2025 enough to show that i am supporting my family. There will be 6 transactions (6/1, 8/1, 10/1, 12/1, 2/1/2025)

2) my court order only announced that we are divorced, but didn't include detail of alimony. so is it ok if I show this transactions record?

Thanks
