I would think though as long as it is recognized in other states although not wisconsin, the marriage is valid. uscis will check if the marriage is valid and it is under united states laws, maybe not wisconsin law, but u.s. law, it is valid.

i think you will be fine, as long as it is recognized in at least one state, it is valid, although it does not appear to be valid in wisconsin.

it still doesnt make sense, as long as you followed the rules in the jurisdiction of where you married you should be fine, did you disclose your divorce when you went to married in Indiana? people marry all over the united states, i could see an issue if you remarried too soon in wisconsin but you went to another state where it was allowed to remarry immediatley. Wisconsin law doesnt say you cannot leave the state to remarry just that you cannot remarry in the state of wisconsin for 6 months.

but you remarried in indiana right? so why would they investigate remarriage laws of wisconsin if you married in indiana?

There is a more specialized website dedicated to waivers than VJ. I'm on my phone and cant link it right now but I can later if someone doesn't beat me to it.

www.immigrate2us.net

they have tons of waiver information and forums for all types of bans.

have you called NVC to see what they say, if they are waiting on documents or received them yet? you could send a formal letter to your atty asking for a copy of what has been sent or go up there if you can also. be persistant, nothing wrong with that.

have you called the mexican consulate? or the registro civil where he was born? or will california accept his birth cetificate how it is? i dont see why it should take a long time its just a hassle with all of the paperwork. i am the us citizen and my parents were born here so i was able to get my certified birth certificate same day because it was just my information was wrong on my daughters bc. but i know the mexican consulate here in atlanta can get the official ones from mexico acceptable here and their document turnaround is pretty quick.

HI, ok i am not in california, i live in georgia, however, i had to go through the same thing. my daughters birth certificate had my information wrong, and i never realized it. i did not need a court order, i had to get a certified copy of my birth certificate and a certified copy of hers and on the back of hers here it has a section for changes and it had to be notarized by her parents (me and her dad) then i took my certified copy of birth certificate and hers and filled out amendment form and they corrected it without a court order because it did not fall under any court order category amendments, i think the process is relatively similar there too. hope this helps.

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place to post my question, but see if anyone can answer my questions.

I went through the CR-1 process and I have been in US for 7 weeks. However, I haven't received my green card yet.

How long does it take to receive the green card? What should I do?

Will I receive an authorization to work, or just the green card allows me to work?

Thank you very much!

hey, just wanted to let you know that ours just came yesterday, so it took about 2 months to come. i hope you have yours by now too, thanks.

have you checked the uscis processing times for the office your waiver is at on the uscis page? i think they are taking around four months average right now.

601 (a) is usually associated with those who entered without a visa.

To use the technical term they were not inspected.

That is correct, I jumped the gun by saying waiver earlier without going back to read it, no waiver bc she entered with visa, sorry.

OP was inspected.[/quote

you may want to consult with an attorney, just make sure what ever you do, do not lie or hide the overstay.

yes you could be denied and may just need to file a waiver in order to get your greencard. have you filed anything yet?

Hi, it is actually pretty safe there. my husband had to go twice in September 2013 and May 2014. he stayed at the ibis hotel both times which is walking distance to everything. he said there is tons of security there and everyone is really helpful. there were tons of americans there too and no issues at all. there are bad parts of all places, he used to live in Morelos, and certain parts are bad there too however, as for CDJ, stay in the local vicinity as where everything there is and, dont hang out in the middle of the night, and its not bad at all. good luck.

Hi I paid the fee may 1 and my husband came to us on June 9 and we are still waiting also. So at least I'm glad to know its not just me, lol.

sounds like they received your rfe evidence and are working your case

did you not qualify for cancellation of removal? you have a lot of missing information here but it sounds more complex than just an approved i-130 that was filed who knows when, and a denied i485 which i hope the same atty that you have was not the one that filed that for you after you had overstayed your visa, and some criminal charges that may or may not be minor, and for a judge to tell you that you only have to file an i-212 (without having to leave the US??) which is permission to reapply after removal/deportation is strange.

i am not sure how that can be filed without being removed first. however if you are only just looking for how to do an i212 alone, without an attorney, there are guides on immigrate2us.net. and the i-212 is not a simple form, you need evidence to send in with it and the wait is 4months to over a year, good luck.

my husband overstayed and was caught, he took voluntary departure, he went home, and i filed for him. he was then denied at his interview for previous overstay but able to file i601. i212 was not needed because he went home on his own, after the i601 was approved he got his visa and is now legal. from what it sounds like, you are not eligible to adjust here, you should try to get another legal opinion on your case though given your hearing is less than a week away. good luck

what have you filed so far? you said "the last time i went to court...." how many times have you been to court?

he said forever

my husband was asked his name my name, our address, and how long he intends to be in the US and that was it.

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering if I should hire a lawyer for the waiver. We are low in income so I want to save as much as possible. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks and God Bless Everyone.

go over to immigrate2us.net it is a diy for 601 and 601a waivers there are tons of templates and advice there and forums for people doing their own waivers.

I did my waiver without an attorney, however, there is a lot putting evidence together for hardships, so some can do without attorney and some cant. if you go over to website immigrate2us.net they have a lot of templates and example letters, good luck.

My husband and i started the "journey" about 3 years ago (a more complicated case) and only get to see each other one week every year. I never really learned to cope, nor did i want to try to get used to it. My husband comes home next week finally. we have not seen eachother for a year now. It is never easy in my opinion, i just get through it and think ok one day less, and you will get there too, a lot sooner than three years, dont worry. A lot of people not in this situation dont realize how mentally and emotionally difficult it is, but as you know it is all worth it in the end. my husband is my best friend, he is everything, and no matter what i do or where i go i miss him. i could never find anything to take my mind off of him, so i just put on a smile for him, for my kids and family, went to work, took care of my kids, and did what i had to do everyday and cried myself to sleep everynight i think and now finally get to see him. good luck.

My husband has his interview last september, he never got a police cert and did not need the police cert. they told him it is not a requirement in Mexico unless you have recent arrest in Mexico.

Hi there

I am a US citizen

married Mexican man who entered illegally.

Our petition has been approved, and we already paid for the AOS fee on may 27(so this might mean that the fee has not been processed yet) We also chose our agent and address that same day. What happens next?

I think I will have to pay the $230 next right? Is that for his visa? I am also starting to wonder what i might need for the waiver.

Thank you.

you need to let nvc know you need to file i601a waiver before his interview since he is in the US. go over to immigrate2us for procedures, forums, how to's on the waivers.
