    You are right, because US Citizens NEVER immigrate TO the USA.

    Hopefully you got the police certificate(s) before moving back - you will need them for the interview.

    Since the petitioner is now living at an address already provided, there is nothing to notify USCIS of.
     
     
    No; however, when the file reaches the NVC, you'll need to make sure that it will be routed to Sydney and not Madrid.  You will be able to tell this by the first 3 letters in the case number (you will want to see SYD).  Until then, there's nothing you can do.
     
     
    Don't bother calling and don't bother with that form; USCIS will not speak to you (they will only speak to the petitioner) and that form isn't meant for use by beneficiaries of an I-130 that is pending a decision.

    Most people never come back here to report on cases like this, but I've never seen one be successful.  The first lie was the agent's idea but not the agent's lie.  Your man signed the application knowing it was a lie.  Second issue is paying a bride price and then seeking a fiance visa.  Get advice from a lawyer experienced with family based visa denials, or just give up and move on.

    pushbrk reacted to Crazy Cat in Extend IR-1 Visa   
    Visas can not be extended.  A consulate can choose to re-issue an expired visa if the holder was unable to travel due to circumstances beyond his/her control.  Re-issue is completely at the discretion of the consulate......and would require a new medical and possibly more.  Personally, I wouldn't risk it.
    She could enter the US, before March, then immediately return to her country to finish her business, etc.

    OP,  your guy is so desperate to get to the US, that he committed a material lie on a visa application.  Use of an 'agent' does not matter; ultimately, the applicant is 100% responsible for the content of their application.
     
    He may have a small chance with a protracted and expensive legal process, but in the meantime,  you may need a plan B (moving overseas) if you wish to live together.

    pushbrk got a reaction from TBoneTX in I-94 will soon expire.. still pending AOS approval   
    Regardless of intent, if she entered on a visitor's visa and is attempting to adjust status, they need to see an immigration attorney ASAP. I'm trying to warn somebody of a serious potential consequence about which thay may not be aware, not "point fingers". Each such warning has included the advice to see an attorney. If you have different advice or different reason for giving the same advice then by all means state them.

    Perhaps you have an H1B visa. If so, yes you can adjust status.
    Otherwise, I take it you have a ten year visa the allows multiple "visits" to the US. To use this visa to immigrate, is visa fraud. You must have an appropriate spouse visa to immigrate. The one that allows the spouse of a US Citizen to enter and then adjust status, is the K3 visa. (K1 is for a fiance) Your other option is an immigrant visa (IR1 in your case) which allows you to enter with permanent resident status. There is not need to adjust status.
    Please consult a qualified immigration attorney so you don't show up to a status adjustment interview and receive an order of removal.
    You might start with simply researching the priviledges that come with your specific visa type.

    Just my opinion but from what i read on here
    we say do it yourself as lawyers are costly and we like to save the expense
     
    but if your company provides and pays the attorney ,  why not go that way
    just make sure before you sign any application or papers for immigration that you have read them completely and they are 100 % perfect with nothing left out
    and there are no misrepresentations.  you are the one ultimately responsible for the context of the application

    I answered that in my first reply.  They will consider everything in the financial package.  Another way of saying it is that they will consider the totality of circumstances.

    pushbrk got a reaction from Myousaf in CR1   
    No, the Pakistani Embassy will not consider it, because they aren't involved.  Your case will go to the Consular Immigrant Visa Unit of the US Embassy in Islamabad, where everything in the financial package will be considered. 😉  Note that an employed person does not qualify based on 2019 income from a tax return or ANY tax return.  Current income is the key.  How does the sponsor's stated current income compare to the 125%?  2019 income has little if anything to do with current income.

    pushbrk reacted to JFH in DS-260 Maybe I am over-analyzing?   
    A US citizen cannot immigrate to the USA. You might be traveling together but that’s not the question that is being asked. It asks if the spouse is immigrating, which you are not. So the answer is “no”. Likewise for your USC child, the answer is “no”. 
     
    Remember that the DS-260 is the same form for all manner of immigrant visa applications and that is why some questions are not applicable to your situation but would be applicable to others. The question about whether the spouse and children are immigrating is particular important for an F-4 sibling case, for example.

    pushbrk reacted to SteveInBostonI130 in Restrictions on Leaving the US After Visa Activation?   
    By "re-issue" it was not meant for you to go through the entire I-130 USCIS/NVC/Embassy process.  It was meant for you to contact the embassy directly and ask them to re-issue the visa to have another 6 month validity period.  If they agree, you will need to get a new medical and possibly fill out the DS-260 again (and pay that fee).
     
    P.S.  Even if you have to pay both (medical and DS-260), it will still be less expensive than flying to the US.  You would need to fly with your family because the USC petitioner has to be in the US or travel with the intending immigrant(s).

    pushbrk reacted to carmel34 in Restrictions on Leaving the US After Visa Activation?   
    Others have done it successfully.  Contact the US embassy that issued the visas and ask them to re-issue with your reasons to find out if it is possible in your situation.  That way you would have another six month period granted quickly and not have to start over with a two year process.  It really depends on how long you need to stay in the UK before actually immigrating to the US and staying there.  Good luck!

    This is about the 5th one I have seen in the last few years all Nigeria. West African countries not having immediate family there is a BIG red flag. Due to so many women going there and having secret weddings. Because he is married with kids usually. So family is not told until after the fact or sometimes the family is in on it.
     
    So when a woman says she got marred but none of his African family attended especially from Nigeria it's suspect.

    pushbrk got a reaction from TBoneTX in What document do we file if my wife can show she can financially support herself?   
    It appears this is not a visa case.  If your wife is working in the USA with a work permit, it cannot be a spouse visa case. She must be adjusting status.
     
    That said, I would provide an updated I-864 that includes your spouse's income.  Document the income with a pay stub.  State YOUR current income so that it is accurate NOW.  Simply include your wife's income on your new I-864.  She need not sign anything or provide any document except a pay stub. (in support of the I-864)
