If she cannot get a visa, your only choice might be to wait until you are able to travel for the required meeting.

It will be an IR1 rather than a CR1 visa since you've been married for more than 2 years.

There is no set amount of time from approval to oath taking. Several factors will determine how long it will take, including how many oath-taking ceremonies are scheduled each month, when they are scheduled, capacity of the venue, and how many other approvals are ahead of you waiting for their oath taking.

Applying for EAD without filing for AOS will only get you an EAD that is valid for 90 days and cannot be renewed. Waste of money. So you will wait for 3 months, and then only be able to work for 3 months, although, fair enough you can earn the needed amount in 3 months, but then you have to stop working and apply for the new EAD.

You can check here, under Work Permit: http://www.***removed***/visas/kvisa/k1-fiance-visa-application-process.html

Actually the EAD will only be valid until 90 days after entry. Since it would probably take more than 90 days to get it, it would be expired before it was even issued. Since the 90 days would probably be expired before an EAD could be approved, it would most likely be denied as you would no longer be eligible for it by the time it was adjudicated. BUT, they WILL keep your application fee.

Looking for help!! I have no one at home who can look after my 12 yr old son(who is moving to the States with me) Can he accompany me to the Embassy at my interview?

He must. It's his interview too.

Well I wanted to buy a plane ticket for my ex to return, but it turns out no airlines fly to heII, so that spawn of the devil got to stay.

Now THAT'S funny

If the consul finds out that she has been to other countries before, then she has a great chance of being approved.

This is a common but incorrect assumption. Travel to other countries has no bearing on getting a tourist visa to the U.S.

You should wait to apply for an immigrant visa until she is ready to immigrate.

For any response that will not fit in the form space, attach a separate sheet with the information required. Indicate in the form space that the sheet is attached and indicate on the sheet what item number from the form the response is for.

If you don't get the letter and your card will expire soon, you can make an INFOPAS appointment to get a 1 year stamp in your passport.

Did you pay your taxes with an ITIN or did you use a social security number? If you used a social security number, was it yours or someone else's

interview to visa -- 19 days

Unless you get the 2-year return waived, Adjustment of Status will be denied.

The extension is for 1 year from the expiration of the green card

It doesn't matter. You don't have to declare your POE to anyone. All POEs are ready to process your papers whenever and wherever you arrive.

I filed my I-751 waiver to remove conditions on residency. However, my 1yr extension expires soon and I am yet to receive my interview date. My concern is the gap between the expiration of my 1 yr extension and receipt of the 10yr greencard. Can I still accept employment during this period? Should I get a work permit? Would I still be lawful resident.

Please help

You can get your passport stamped with an additional year extension. Make an appt. with your USCIS field office.

If finances make it prohibitive to meet, you will also find the financial requirements for visa approval and adjustment of status prohibitive. You are not ready. Your finances are not ready. You are in no position to even consider such a move. Finish school, get a job, save money, mature a few years and then reevaluate.

Spend less than you make.

If you can stand it, go for this, si man. It'll give you more flexibility later.

More flexibility... but a lifetime requirement to file U.S. taxes regardless of where they live.

i have a question for my friend,he is a c1/d crewman visa holder and their dock is in Miami,FL,he been back and fort in FL for 8 years.i was wondering if he can apply for a US permanent residence since we was working in the US.what forms he need to filed out and how is the processing goes on this kind of case,please advice.thanks

He has no basis for permanent residence.

Might want to ask an attorney, I'm assuming her paperwork will ask if she filed for a visa before just like mine asked me here in the states. Not good to lie on that.

Filing the petition is not the same as filing for a visa. If she never paid a visa application fee and never went to the consulate, then she has not filed for a visa.

I think most of the people who get used for a visa and then dumped do not doubt their relationship until it is too late.

The lie you told will not be the reason for a denial. The misrepresentation would only have been material if you had been granted the tourist visa, but would otherwise have been denied if the truth of your marriage were known. However, you have given them cause to doubt your intentions regarding the marriage. If you are denied the CR1, it will most likely be due to their belief that the marriage was for immigration purposes only. Anything you tell them is now suspect with good reason.

Just put nonresident

Resident cards are for those who are residents. You are no longer a resident.
