MIBEN

She can apply when she has been a LPR for at least five years and, 18 years old. So, November 18 2013, and the process takes about four months depending on where she lives.

3 years for spouses of USC and 5 years for all other LPRs, she can file taxes as soon as she receives the W-2 wage and tax statements normally they are issued by employers in January and all taxes have to be filed by April 15, 2013.

Ok do they accepted your AOS if you are not sure if the emailed documents were accepted just make sure your wife has a copy of everything that was submitted at the interview. Now you submit the visa application and all supporting documents and pay the fee if you have not already done that then wait for NVC to forward the case to Casa and wait for an interview date.

They apply for the tourist visa at the consulate not you, if they can prove strong ties to Morocco (bank accounts, assets, business) perhaps they will get a tourist visa.

At the NVC state it has been as you stated 7-8 months front-loading has two purposes to get the petition approved and to get the visa approved. The petition is already approved at that point, now NVC is trying to get the required administrative paperwork processed to support the visa and obtain an interview date I suggest him bringing it to the interview rather than adding more paperwork that NVC is not asking for, my husband took updates with him of two additional trips(they were already tracking), pics, mortgage, conversations and insurance they accepted it all the day of the interview.

When he walks into the interview, they will already know what decision to take many people arrive and 221g is done up ahead of time for RFE, AP. or denial.

Good luck,

Don't forget to show co-mingling of assets and money through rental lease, mortgage payments, utilities, bank accounts, insurance policies etc and include sworn affidavits from family that can vouch for co-mingling if accounts are not available. She will not be interviewed,

Good luck

Considering that your profile does not disclose where in the process you are, getting a sponsor is a requirement to getting an immigration visa. However, no one can say much more on your status as we don't know much. Now you just have to go to the interview and be prepared, the sponsorship is only one facet of the process you are still required to prove a bonafide relationship. Have your wife make some phone calls.

Good luck,

If you are married to a permanent resident originally from Cuba she can submit a petition but it would not be an AOS from a tourist visa. Many people are successful in getting the adjustment of status when they prove that they did not come to the US with an intent to marry. If you were already married to her and came on a tourist visa and then want to adjust they are just saying that they are not approving you which they can do since the petition process was not followed. Also unfortunately that ruling cannot be appealed. Please remember that during the processing stage they check email accounts and social media accounts both you and your wife have. They may have run across s conversation that led them to believe marraige fraud. Yes getting a lawyer is your best bet and file a I-130 and go home and wait til your priority date becomes available. If you are not yet out of status on the tourist visa go home before you compromise your VWP benefits.

Good luck,

To Teg call the Embassey and find out exactly how to proceed, don't just wait assuming they will accept the 2012 tax return as thee fix all. It would be bad if you wait and they still don't issue the visa. Hamigirl every case stands on its own, your case may be approved but be prepared and with a co-sponsor if one is not needed then no issues. Another thing they look at is your work history and spending habits listed on your bank statements. I was asked for statements from each bank that showed when I opened the account, how much I deposited and balances right before the interview. They don't just focus on how much you earn but also how much you keep. Good luck to both of you..

As bad as the situation sounds, they processed the I-184 and because you did not work the entire year technically you are not above the guidelines for sponsoring a spouse with your 2011 tax return. You could wait for the next year's taxes, an option you don't agree with and I completely understand but they are telling you that until you find a co-sponsor your spouse is not eligible to be issued the visa. If you read the instructions the purpose of the form is to show that that they (immigrant) have adequate means of financial support and that they will not likely to become a public charge. They say that you MAY not that you are required to add previous years tax returns if you like as an option to show that you can provide that support but you don't have that, they also say send employment statements but there is no guarantee you will be employed unless under contract nor that they will consider that information as sufficient. The only requirement is the most recent tax return the rest is optional, we provide it in hope that it will convince them and support your Affidavit of Support. Do you have assets or does he have income that will continue after he immigrates those can be used as income as well.

I say email the consulate but I have dealt with Casa and they don't make it a habit to respond in detail, start looking for a co-sponsor their decision has been made or call your Congressman and see if they can be of any assistance. I can imagine your frustration because you are making enough you just don't have a full year's wages documented through tax returns.

Good luck,

He has to file yes but if he was a resident abroad he may be able to file foreign earned income exclusion find it on the IRS website.

My husband had his interview in Arabic. I know of another person that did his in Spanish at Casa because that is how he communicated with his wife. They do accommodate just tell him to ask..

The answer is still no it does not matter, it takes most people 30 days to get documents to the US from Morocco....

Aayyyy bendito all I can do is shake my head, good luck on your journey you will need it...

Your lawyer filled the correct forms and no the processing of the K-3 did not delay nor change the outcome of the case. It was done to try to get you to your spouse while you waited for the immigration visa thus the green card. I know it is tough but know we all are praying that those on the visa journey have success.

We have an immigration lawyer, he took care of filing our petition, but, until recently, i noticed that he filed I-130 and I-129F YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WE JUST GOT MARRIED IN MOROCCO. ~~NO ENGAGEMENT TOOK PLACE BEFORE MARRIAGE~ bottom line: we got married here in Morocco > my wife went back to the US > hired the lawyer > the lawyer did his work > USICS>NVC>INTERVIEW > 221 (G) , now, why did he file for the I-129F since this petition concerns the fiance visa?? Please review the above photos to see what i'm talking about.

Thanks MIBEN for your input, i appreciate your help, i really do.

Actually for a while the State department website stated that personnel petitioning for their spouse had to also submit the I-129f form for a K-3 visa which would allow the spouse to travel to the US while you waited for the interview and green card. Problem is they never expedite the K-3 rather they approve both at the same time then close out the K-3. It is pretty much a waste of effort and money they never get approved but this did not make any difference to the outcome of your case. The case number you want to track is the I-130.

All you can do is wait for your case to be sent back to USCIS normally takes at least 6 months. They will contact the petitioner and confirm if they intend to revoke or deny the petition at which time your wife has to be ready to respond to their requests. If they want to deny they will deny the petition at which time she can reapply but if they want to revoke the petition you have to act accordingly as this means you cannot reapply. Getting an attorney is up to your discretion there are people that overcame a NOIR without an attorney. It is in hindsight now that you did not have appropriate sponsorship and did not meet the RFE request for the marriage license even if you had it as you stated they never asked for it at the interview. Don't beat yourself up over that it's done focus your energy on what's to come. Try to visit each other again and continue to document your marriage as best you can. You could solicit the help of wife's congressman. Good luck,

My point was, the standard excuse will always be we are reviewing it with no details and they feel they have met your request for inquiry. I can clearly understand your feeling as I felt the same way. I called USCIS and the operator revealed nothing on the case but gave me a glimmer of hope by offering to process an inquiry only to get a letter that states what you already know that they are not done with the case. Try to be patient and know that soon he will get an opportunity to state his case. Hang in there....

After my case was transferred twice in 6 months I sent in an inquiry to find status of our case. A month later they sent me a response the case was in review what I had already deducted. AR/AP can be done at any stage so if it has to be reviewed now when he goes to the interview the additional processing is complete. I got the NOA2 less than one month after the letter. Hoping for a quick resolution.....

Good luck,

Hang in there hopefully it will end soon but as stated it is better to wait a bit for a good resolve than to be outright denied.

Good luck and stay positive...

If he is a resident of Singapore he can have his interview at the US embassy there, it is not uncommon for the interview to be scheduled in the home country. If she included his current address in Singapore it should be fine. If she wants to confirm call the Embassy in Singapore and confirm he can be interviewed there.

It is required to report where she will physically be living at all times, It should not be a problem so long as the packet is updated as that is how she will get her green card. Good luck you are almost there...

It depends what postal rate he pays fIrst class a few days, priority about two days and express in 1 day. Thiis is just to reach NVC, it still had to be processed in our case they signed for it on 17 March in the mail room and the application processed by the 31st of the month it took them almost 10 days to tell me the packet was received. Make sure he sends it return receipt or insured to track the peice.

Actually I did the appointment of agent and the AOS via email and attached a PDF file both were accepted but i also send the AOS via expresss mail they processed it even before the hardcopies arrived via mail . I sent the visa application via express mail with the original supporting documents and translations.

Good luck ,

Wait it is all a process they will request everything plus the DS 3032 and AOS can be digitally scanned and emailed back to them it speeds up the process only the visa petition requires original forms and supporting documents. Even after you pay for the AOS and visa you have to wait for a receipt to show proof of payment if asked at the consulate. Just be prepared when they ask for everything.

Good luck
