I think here 2-3 years now, and currently working 'a la izquierda'. They got married in US 6 mos ago thinking that would help, and he now has 2 US citizen children from 2 different mamas. The LPR has 3 years wait left to apply for citizen.

Would it change anything if the LPR became a citizen?

actually was asking about visas for a spouse or fiancee this time

Just for verification, all immigrant visa issuance, including fiance and immediate family from the countries on the list (including Cuba) has been halted? This is mainly aimed at visas issued outside of US?

Thanks. Does an approved I-130 offer any basis for protection against deportation?

Arent all countries on the list subject to a suspension for all immigrant visas, including immediate family? Not talking about tourist work or student visas

Anyone know if the recent travel ban affects the processing and approval of I-130 applications for immediate family, or does it only affect the later stages, like the actual issuance of the visa? What about petitions for a fiance visa, are the petitions still processed and approved except for the visa itself?

So the (Family Reunification Program (FRP) program has not been terminated? Somebody fact check the official announcement that was left out from above! As someone posted on VJ before.- https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/dhs-ends-the-abuse-of-the-humanitarian-parole-process-and-terminates-family-reunification-parole Thanks for the clarifcation!

Well It was a good run, Cubans!, too bad they couldn't have just left it alone, eh? The program of Cuban family reunification, the Cuban Family Reunification Parole (CFRP) Program, was established in 2007. This special parole process allowed certain Cuban beneficiaries of approved family petitions to enter the U.S. early (via parole) while waiting for visas, and then adjust status quickly under the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. It was created specifically for Cubans to help meet U.S.-Cuba migration accord commitments and expedite reunification, paired with the 1966 Act's benefits for Cuban natives/citizens.

wasnt aware the program included so many countries besides Cuba

since they are cubans,they get special treatment and are allowed to "jump the line" after I-130 approval because of the cuban family reunification act. Supposedly they get an invite letter to come on in and get travel papers after the I-130 approval, So they are hoping for swift approval.

hi, Trying to find how long form I-130 approval is taking now for F3 married adult child. Not the complete time until visa, just approval times now for the Form I-130 itself, . Finding it difficult to find up to date info on this, seeing anywhere from 14 months to 5 years. USCIS site is confusing to navigate.

Yes I suggested that maybe they should just pay the fee but I guess they just didnt have the resources after paying rent. But having snap benefits as a parolee is supposed to be an acceptable reason for USCIS.

Application was rejected for non payment. Package was then resent with proof of snap benefits attached to I-912. Claiming financial distress or hardship with no evidence didnt work in this case.

Thanks for the reply Yes it was delivered to dallas lock box. Would USCIS still be likely to send out a receipt notice if there were problems with the Fee Waiver evidence? Is someone merely claiming financial hardship and homelessness without including any evidence likely to pass muster for a fee waiver request? Can lock box support accept an attached copy of the Fee Waiver evidence?
