Another thought. And this is a completely different angle. If the relationship between your daughter and one of the boys is serious enough, they can continue it long distance, which will be extremely difficult but not impossible. Practically everyone you speak to on this website has been involved in a long distance relationship. The flags generally represent country of origin of the immigrant. So why I mentioned the relationship. If they continue it, learn about each other and stick with each other, maybe in the future your daughter can petition him on a K-1 Visa.

How do I get information regarding my former K1 applications? My first application in 2006 was withdrawn because my fiancé gave false information. My second application was approved in 2008. She left after getting her green card and I divorced her in 2010. She took all of my records. Crazy me wants to try love again. Will the USCIS give my information? Thanks for any help.

Is it the same country every time?

Congrats! Welcome here!

You can apply only for citizenship when you are a Permanent Resident for 2 years and 9 months. 

And it's a good idea to file for N-400 which might help to make a decision on pending I-751. 

Then after you get your I-751 approved, you could just be like "sike on the N-400." Sike.

Hi guys,

I have some questions, it would appreciated if you guys could help me.

Note : i got the criminal record in the usa but i m already eligible for i485 because it was miner crime  and i m not worried about the criminal charges in the usa   and 2nd the goverment from my home country also looking for me the crime that i never commit or involve and this what im worry 

 

two type of applications got submit few years ago .1 asylum hiring date is coming in few days for IH ( i will be persecute and will be torture and abused  if i go my home country because government of my country made the fake report and when that happen i was not in my home country  ) so base on that i filled the asylum and i got all the paper work and everything from my home country court 

 

2- my i-485 hiring is also coming and im little nervous about few thing that my fake criminal charges from my home country will make any problem for my i-485 and i cant hide that becasue of that fake report i will asylum case

 

thank you 

 

 

I don't see how USCIS would find out about these "fake criminal charges". Besides, if you could prove you were not in country at the time, problem solved.

Change the world dynamics and these things could change.  If Sweden, for example, suddenly started having domestic terrorism with large scale bomb attacks becoming their new norm, then yes it is likely that Swedes would get pulled into secondary and extensively questioned.  Why is this so hard to grasp?  Guess what, on a recent flight from Scandinavia that we took that I'm pretty sure was 90%white, all the people who got pulled into secondary were .... you guessed it, white.   

^^^This all day. It's really not a complicated concept. Is it friendly? Is it pretty? Is it fair? Does it make innocent people trying to get back to their lives, friends, family, and jobs in their own country happy? No to all of those questions but it is what it is.

You have to notify USCIS and change to a divorce waiver.

ROC take 10-15 months these days.

Yeah ROC is taking so long that many people are requesting Naturalization before ROC interview even occurs. That's what my wife will do if USCIS doesn't speed up.

You're reading it wrong. She is the immigrant.

He is fine with it filling jointly then when we get interview we can just let them know. He doesnt want to do the 90 day approval of ROC then divorce.

It's gonna likely take much longer than 90 days to be approved anyway.

Has anyone had the same experience? We just filed the 751 jointly. My husband wants to file the divorce asap after that. What will happen to my case? do i need to notify uscis then? What are my chances getting approved and rejected? My husbadn doesnt care about the outcome. He just want to be transparent to the law.

Can you marriage not be worked out? I don't understand this abrupt need to file for divorce right after filing I-751.

My name is Yuriy, and i have a situation here. my wife came to usa with k-1 visa as fiance. We married and everything. enjoying our live but my parents that live in usa dont like our relationship and etc. few weeks ago we almost divorced with my wife because she could not take my family no more but after a talk to my family , told them to leave us alone. my father now saying he will send letter to immigration to deport my wife because "quote quote we having bad relationship" . my question to you what they will do if he sends it? she had a green card already. thx . we love each other me and my wife and she came here with no fraud or anything..

As has been said, no matter what your parents do, they can't affect her immigration status. Only the both of you can.

this happened when i was at Dubai international airport... most big international airports like Dubai have a full immigration set-up now a days ... they have CPB officers making sure you dont board the US bound flight unless you are cleared and  have the right paperwork... and when you land in USA u just pick up your bags and go towards the exit door .. like you came from a local flight

 

anyways, i had a 3 hour layover in Dubai .... they put me into secondary inspection and booted me off the flight to LAX even though i had enough time to clear secondary inspection... after that they put me in a flight from Dubai-->Atlanta-->LAX .. took me extra 8 hours

 

as a US citizen i felt pretty violated  ... living in the USA for 15 years... pay taxes every year ... 0 criminal history ... educated and working professional ... clearly it was racial profiling because i am brown and born in Pakistan

 

oh and i also have pre-tsa + global entry .. that didnt help at all

 

 

 

 

Well I'm certainly the last person that will sit here and try to tell someone that racial profiling doesn't happen. And it's unfortunate when it does. But that is something that I've learned to understand is an unfortunate part of society in America in the 21st century. This is the most diverse country in the world and with that comes the difficulty in fully integrating all races. It will take hundreds of years to occur and we are in the middle of it. It is what it is.

Racisme and discrimenation is not limited to poeple who are not white, White people can also be discrimeted against. But another wrong does not justify the first. And there is a differens between having to open up your bags and explain what you are traveling for in a side room, and beeing interegated for over 12 hours, and that is what I think people are talking about. extra vetting can go to far, and that does more often happen with people that are coloured.

Me beeing one of the "lucky" white people that also gets picked out of the line becauase I made a mestake on a visa waver, can tell you that i am usually the only white person in a full waiting room for the extra fetting. And for me they extually do have a good reason to ask extra questions, and usually takes about an hours but that is not the same for all the rest of the poeple there

On a side note that is not specific to this adminestartion, but also the years before.

If you were only there an hour, how do you know that the rest of them were vetted much longer than an hour? Yes, profiling exists in this country. I know as I've been profiled in my life. However, I think a lot of this new stuff going on is just stirred up by the media to divide our country further.

GC holders who have been in the country for decades being detained for hours with no explanation is not OK. I mean, it's legal, sure. But it's not how America used to be. We've decided to move away from being a country of immigrants to a country of suspicion and hatred, and its VERY obvious to anyone who has done a border crossing recently.

 

And we don't need additional screening, there is no actual problem being solved here. 

They should be randomly doing additional screening of everyone. Not just GC holders who have been in the country for decades or whomever else people claim they are targetting.

There's nothing wrong with additional screening...provided it is additional screening in a fair and balanced way. Additional screening for people who look a particular way or have a particular name (which often happens), regardless of whether they are visa, GC, or passport holders is also part of the problem. 

Who says that's what they're doing?

I watched his speech last night, keeping an ear out for immigration reform and what he would say about it.  Eventually he talked about wanting to reform "Legal Immigration".  He talked about a merit based system about "Legal Immigration" and about financial capabilities.  But that is it.  Not details, no specifics.  So all we are left with, at least all I am left with after that speech is more questions about what kind of "Legal Immigration" reform he has in mind? 

 

My poor fiance in Colombia is so scared right now.  I try to tell her she has nothing to worry about as we await our NOA2, but now even I don't know what's going to happen.  What kind of reform is coming our way?  I wish more information existed or he spoke a little more about it.  I'm guessing, K1 applicants should be okay, but I dont know.

The less talking there is about it, the slower the rollout will probably be. I say that because I think Trump is starting to figure out that talking about stuff and truly planning it before rollout is much better than rolling out half-assed policies.

Yes, I know these two personally. Also a couple people at work (I work for a large multinational company) have had this problem (on green card and also on H1B, but not from the 7 countries). The two I know are Japanese GC holders like my wife who (unlike her) have lived here for decades (since Japan has no dual citizenship, its rare for Japanese to become US citizens). At work I personally know a Pakistani citizen with green card (not one of the 7) and a Egyptian citizen with H1B (not one of the 7) who had major detain/delay scenarios (again, both eventually let in). 

 

I'm not talking about being denied entry, but being pulled aside for a couple hours of extra screening/questioning. That is not normal in their/my experience for green card holders, however. Even the normally routine questioning people encounter has been more aggressive recently. It's not like it was before January (and may not be again, given the direction CBP is heading). 

There's nothing wrong with additional screening. Honestly, screening has been needing improvement for years. It's about people being illegally refused entry that's the issue and that seems to be a non-issue.

Good luck to your husband!

It originally said a new travel ban is expected this week, no doubt only slightly less stupid than the first one.

Buckle up, buckaroos. 

I didn't read anything concerning to us there. I actually like a lot of what he said there.

Visajourney timeline is based on user's input. USCIS gives an "official" time frame which is usually off. Don't expect the 2 to match as they have nothing to do with each other.

Absolutely there's a chance. As far as probability, no one knows.

I hope you are correct considering recent events at LAX which is where he will be flying into.....

It's irrelevant. There is currently no directive against Croatia or the K-1 Visa program.

OP, when did you find out you were pregnant? You may still be within the qualifying event window as the child is your husbands. The child could be covered then, which would cover you on appointments and birth, even if you're not ensured. It's a bit more complicated than that. But that's the gist.
