    Waste of time and money.

    I agree with everyone else, there is no harm in trying. If you don't get approved, meet in a neutral country. FYI, I've been to Thailand and it's absolutely beautiful, it would be a great country to meet in if you're denied. Best of luck!

    It's a big mess because they were green card holders who were not living in the U.S., and blaming it on COVID and other non-issues is ridiculous. This all could have been avoided if you had waited until they were ready to move here before applying for them. Sorry for being blunt, but it's the truth.

    I had 3 children, all c sections, 2 of them premature by 6 weeks, and never needed, asked or had any help from my family, and they lived close. Not sure why you would request or need an expedited visa for a normal birth. Regardless of that, childcare is considered work, if you try to get their visas expedited for that reason, it will result in their visas being denied all together. Not a good idea.

    Marry and do a CR1. No matter the visa chosen, there is nothing easy, cheap or fast about U.S. immigration. Nothing. As long as they are prepared for that in advance, there will be no disappointments.

    Posts like that make my head want to explode. Sounds like this person is going to do what they want, regardless of all of the warnings from others in the thread. Honestly. I hope this person gets caught, if only to knock his wife's sense of entitlement down a few notches.

    Reapplying without knowing the exact reason/s for denial, is a waste of time and money. Wait for the NOIR, then correct reason/s for denial before filing again.

    You have at least 25 years time before a visa number becomes available. No expedite allowed for sibling category.

    You won't have any issues. I know other petitioners who have had one or more DUs and successfully brought spouses/fiancés here.

    Was just about to say the same thing until I saw your comment.

    Most likely the fact that they're trying to improve numbers. Most people send "immaculate" packets yet they sit for months and months on end. Be thankful...and humble.

    Coming here to help with your child care is considered work.

    If you want the visa, give them exactly what they want and if I were you, I'd do it myself. No need to pay a lawyer, especially since he/she gave you wrong info to begin with.

    Best I've seen, yet!! 🤣

    They will never qualify for Medicare or Medicaid as they never paid into the system and it sounds like they never will. You will have to provide private insurance for them.

    Not sure what you're asking from us. There is no one to contact, the numbers are the numbers and there's nothing you can do except wait.

    Where did you get the idea that you can marry at a U.S Embassy? No one there performs marriages.

    It will work against them if you tell the consulate that you will be paying for their trip. They need to prove they can pay their own way and have very strong ties to home. And invitation letter; proves nothing and it's a myth that it's even a thing. They need to prove to the CO that they will return home and you paying, is the opposite of that.

    You will learn very quickly that nothing makes much sense when it comes to US immigration. There is nothing easy, cheap or quick about immigrating here. If you accept those facts now, you won't be disappointed. It is what it is.

    I agree with everything @Crazy Cat told you. Good luck and keep us updated, I understand how stressful this process can be at times.

    You need to find out exactly why you were denied and address those issues before you reapply, regardless of where you apply. Your file will be available at all of the consulates to view so merely moving locations, does not address the reasons why you were denied.

    DCF is not an option for you.

    Live together CONTINUOUSLY for a SUBSTANTIAL amount of time in your home country before even attempting to apply. Even at that, it will be VERY difficult to overcome the fact that you didn't see your wife, even once, for an entire five year period of time. I'm not convinced you will ever get a spousal visa to the U.S. I would also suggest you have your join visa journey as she will be petitioning you and she needs to understand the process.

    If healthcare is cheap there and the allergy shots you're getting are working, I'm struggling to see why your wife would need or get an expedite. You are the U.S citizen, you can move back any time you want to solve the financial thing. I understand that you don't want to be separated from your spouse, but it's part of immigration, we've all been through it. I really don't see an expedite happening. Just keeping it real.
