Malta

I have brought my step son here but realizing that was not a good choice. Is there a way I can cancel out his visa? I have not yet paid for his green card.

Evebing6 looking for any guiandance on this topic. I'm looking at filing for divorce from my husband who is a permanent resident and has been in the US since May. There has been several things revealed since he arrived that I found. I guess I'm just looking at what "finacially reslonsible" means also can I file for his green card revoked?

Thank you

Have you read the expedite reasons on the USCIS website? Do you qualify?

I did look it over and there is one listed "emergency that is kind of vague.

His mother will need to consent to the child moving to the USA.  

As a step parent you at most would be a legal guardian while married and living with his father.  If you want more that's a matter for family court. 

His mother has consented in fact she would like it to happen ASAP (for various reasons)thus is why I'm trying to see what I can do ahead of time if anything and if/how we expedite.

The child's case will not be given a visa if consular officer has any questions on how his father came to the US. You may not want to deal with it as you say but this is the reality. 

His father and I married years ago and is here on a permanent resident card the details has nothing to do with him it's more on the living conditions of my step son.

1. If they want a DNA test, they will request it.
2. To request an expedite on the I-130, call USCIS. They will submit the request and then request supporting evidence afterwards.
   1. You will need to expedite again at NVC as well.
   2. The criteria for expedite is quite strict and generally does not apply to a a negative influence in the child's life. If there was something like documented abuse, then there may be a better case. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/expedite-criteria
   3. Keep in mind an expedite would still result in the case taking a matter of months, not a few weeks or so.
3. This is difficult to answer as it's very broad. The simplest answer I can think of is "you would be a legal guardian".

Also, keep in mind that the biological father will likely need to sign off on the child immigrating to the US.

Ok this all helps Thank you! I am married to the child's father and he is here living with me in the states. The child's mother is in Foreign.

Few questions so sorry but

1) I filed for my step son back in August so wondering if his father's name is on the birth certificate is it required to do a DNA test and if so can we do this now instead of waiting?

2)We are running into issues now that his dad is here(prefer not to give specifics) can we file for an expedite and how?

3)After my step son is here how am I viewed as far as rights for him?

Thank you!

The timeframe for stepchildren in JA varies, it can take up to two years as JA makes them take a DNA test to ensure they are his children.  If test results reflect they are not his, they cannot immigrate.  

I am the one who is petitioning for them though....so same process?? 

Ok....geowrian.....is it difficult because there is an existing case?

They can apply for a tourist visa to visit you, assuming they have sufficient ties. They must return home before their legal status expires. Normally, with a pending I-130, getting a tourist visa is quite difficult.

 

Yes, around a year or so is common for children under 21.

I filed I-130 for my step children to bring themto the US but I thoughtI read that while we wait there is a way to bring them here? Also if I'm understanding the time table correctly it's taking a year to process requests?

Thanks to all!

Where does he do the random drug tests at? He has stopped smoking before we even went back in October.

It has the box checked section 212(a) states "which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone who is determined to be a substance addict ir abuser "....so obviously something showed up in blood or urine but not sure because no results were given to us. Just wondering how it works now?

Can anyone shed light on the 1year ban that is given at the Embassy appointment.

Thanks

If documents were unavailable at time of interview at Embassy but now Jamaican Embassy has them ....does anyone know how long before they give a yes or no?

So is this an automatic denial?

Ok wow I'm learning allot....so my friend's husband went for his medical for Jamaica and they now require psychological evaluations???? Did anybody else have this and is this for new applications???

My friend is trying to register for the DHL service and it's saying her DS260# is already used....does anyone know what this means? I tried looking for her but am clueless so I thought I'd ask aome experts for her!

Thanks!!

I was doing some reading while I wait....and I read that medicals for Jamaica can only be done in Kingston nnow?? Is this true?

Our case completed in July.....still waiting for an interview byt we are also dealing with Jamaica. Not sure if they work the same but NVC has no information to give!!! Just the common response of "when an available appointment is available we will notify you"....waiting sucks!

Thank You!

Who do I submit the request to?

What was the reason for expedite? Sorry not to be nosey but I heard that it's hard to get? How did you do it?

Ive tried to change it and it says saved but doesn't change. ...am i doing it wrong??

Anyone filing for Jamaica get Embassy appointments.....trying to figure out what month they are on for case completed.
