they did nothing, so they have zero claim on my $700. That is not the issue. what I ASKED about, before all you jumped in, is what do I have to do in order to get her daughter here? I do not believe it takes a year. It only took 4 months to get my wife here.
By your logic, B1 (tourist visa) applicants should have their application fee refunded if they don't get the visa because 'they should have caught this when we first applied.' You're suggesting USCIS should catch when applicants are ineligible and save them the trouble of applying????? That in itself is an administrative process so it would still require a fee.
I'll eat my hat if Melania gets you your application fee back!

Will lease and credit card be okay for her to include my name?
Lease? But you don't live together. Credit card might be helpful but I think you will need to show a history of transacations on both the credit cards (co-mingling of finances etc.)

David is so entitled! Sheesh.

Well, it can add a bit of stress, but depends on how you used to carry large amounts of cash on you and what other options are. In Russia cash is still very common, and when I was working there for some private business (nothing illegal), I often had to carry amounts equivalent to a few grands USD with me because our partners sometimes for various reasons would prefer to either receive, either make large payments with cash, so carrying $3-5 grands on me is a bit stressful but nothing new.
Also, transferring money over the border other ways can be less appealing than cash. For example, wire transfers from Russia to the US require supplemental documentation with notarized translation and often take a few business days to process, and many other ways have high fees, so if you need to bring a few thousands over the border, cash in the pocket is often the best option.

Agreed. I come from a place where cash is still very common (even for large transactions) and most people keep cash in their homes because if you bank it, it's hard to withdraw it (there are stringent daily limits); foreign currency is hard to come by within the banking system and so most people traveling abroad will have huge sums of cash on them. International transaction fees on credit cards are atronomical, too, which adds to many people's decision to carry cash.
I know Zimbabwe's economy is pretty unique in many ways, but I would imagine there are many countries in which cash is more commonplace than cards and people are just so used to cash transactions and carrying around large amounts.

I too haven't read the entire thread but here's my 2c - I came here to be with my spouse. He'd lived in my country for 10 years and I honestly never dreamt of leaving - we had a good life. He however, was homesick. So now we're here and I'm so appreciative of the internationally recognised college degree I obtained here (I had a degree back home but it wasn't worth much anywhere else) and the opportunity to have a career that doesn't exist where I'm from. I'm also really grateful for the lifestyle we're giving our kids in California and the all-embracing culture of the Bay Area.That said, our plan is to move back to my home country once we reach retirement age so I'm happy where I am, knowing we'll eventually go back. I've come to love California but I miss my family terribly and I'm very attached to them whereas he's not particularly close to his family

If it helps any, we sold a lot of assets as we prepared to move to the U.S and both our foreign bank and U.S bank advised us to just make sure we kept a paper trail because of money laundering concerns etc. Other than that, we had no problems moving the huge sum of money and no one asked us about it (except for the forms we filled in to move the money).

That doesn't make any sense as UK nationals don't need a visa to enter. Why would she illegally enter when all she has to do is show her passport and she gets a 30 day visa on arrival.. (and this was back in 1997).
I have a feeling we're not getting the full story.
I hadn't even thought about that. Yeah, something's not adding up...

UK? I thought he was from Guatemala, or are you using the UK as an example. Sorry Im tired today and not following this thread very well. It is very sad for both him and his wife and here is hoping his lawyer can do something.
She is from the UK, came in via Mexico. He is from Guatemala.

Cleared my browser cookies this morning and had a pretty good run of uninterrupted browsing on VJ for about an hour. But that just ended:
-
I’ll try clearing my browser and update you later today. Right now, I basically land on the VJ home page and then anything at all I click on leads me to a pop up. I’m mostly clicking on ‘Today’s Most Popular Immigration Discussions.’
-
For me it’s every other page or so, so it’s barely usable.

-
20 mins of browsing, completely ad free. Fingers crossed and thank you. 😊

Still the same for me - almost an immediate pop up as soon as I land on the homepage.

I too am unable to go back to the VJ site once I get a pop up. I have to login from the beginning which is obviously annoying.

This just started popping up for me:

I think what people are trying to tell you is that it's easier to ask the USC more specific questions - especially about US taxes. So far, you haven't really been able to answer/explain why she's exempt from taxes which makes it a little harder for people to help you.
