Ya. Typical. There are more and more people posting about criminal activity online that the police are catching because they got cocky about it, or they just didn't have the common sense to remain silent.
Well Shireen B from the New York area, married to Todd who just received her GC recently, I would think it would be easy to remedy the situation now that you've admitted to a crime on the internet. The government can possibly link this to you. In fact, they encourage people to report evidence of criminal activity.
I don't know if they would deport you since they essentially created an estoppel by admitting you even though you admitted to committing a felony; I just think a prison sentence would be in order.
Could be a troll though.

When I talk about justice, I mean the abstract idea of fairness shared by similar cultures, not necessarily what a justice thinks is just.
I usually don't wish bad things on anyone, but sometimes I can't help how I feel about things. When I've obeyed the law and suffered, and someone else disobeyed the law and prevailed, it violates that sense of justice that is innate in many people.
That is why I reacted. It's the legal system's fault that they do not prosecute people for committing fraud (knowingly using a false SSN). Not the OP's fault necessarily. I shouldn't be angry at her.
It's funny though. I stated only the facts of the first post by the OP to my wife who initially had the same reaction as me and many others in this thread. There is always a reason people react, and sometimes it's not because of mere envy as suggested by another poster. Albeit I will admit that I'm sure some out there would be envious.
Thanks for sharing.

True. You know what. I was ridiculing and rude. I apologize to the OP. Apparently there have been some cases that have been overturned in supreme court that indicate that if you do not intend to harm someone, you could possibly get away with this type of fraud.

I also apologize to anyone else I offended. I just thought it was common sense that fruad was illegal. Apparently, it all depends upon a judge's interpretation.
Congrats to the OP.
And sorry.

I would apply outside of the US. Sometimes USCIS expedites I-130s when filed by a USC who is abroad. In saying this, that's not always the case. Also, he can always go to the US after he files anyways. So the sooner he files the better. Even if they don't expedite his I-130 the process will go faster the sooner he applies.

We just found out that Chase can convert old savings accounts into a checking accounts. We just did it over the phone with Chase. Keep in mind, though, that you cannot create a new account until you have an unexpired state id or state driver's license. My wife's driver's license expired in 2011, so we couldn't open a new account. However, if you have an old account (which she did), then you can change/convert it into a checking account and give them an american address that they can send your cheques and statements to. You can then wire money to your US bank account from your current bank account and get the people at the address that your bank sent your checks to to send the cheques and debit card to you so that you're ready to use the checking account when you enter the US.
To wire money to a US bank account, you need:
Beneficiary name (Account holder name)
Address of Branch (where you initially opened your account)
Account Number
ABA Routing Number

Hi.
Yes it is possible to sign a rental agreement while outside of the US. My wife and I are doing it right now from Canada. We're looking into setting a bank account up, but I don't know if we can. We might catch a lucky break and be able to use her checking account. She forgot to close it and there was no monthly fee, so she just kept it open in the US. But you should be anle to get a rental agreement. Just call a realtor in the US and ask them to send you rental listings via email. They can get you in touch with the listing agent and you can work out the financials from your home country. You might be able to pay the deposit and first month's rent via US money order or by wiring the money to them.
I would call a bank in the UIS to see if you can open one up. If you are an American citizen and have an SSN, it might be possible. However, due to AML laws some banks might be required to see you in person. Check with your consulate about how people do this, too. They might be able to give you advice.
Good luck!

The US petitioner must prove US domicile. They have to show that they have a job lined up or something proving that they are moving back to the US. Otherwise, if the CR-1 visa is issued, then the immigrant can get the green card without the US spouse coming to the US without them. What kind of family is that? A fraudulent one most likely. Not passing judgement. Just think that this is how USCIS sees it. You must show that you have some tie to the US. Even something like a rental agreement or letter of intent from a new employer. Anything showing that you are intending to move back to the US.
