This is the very definition of visa fraud.

I'm always amazed by how much faith people have in lawyers.

Does this attorney specialize in marriage based immigration or corporate based? (Large firms are more likely to specialize in the latter, so I ask..) I'll only add that I have seen many similar cases be approved with little to no issues.

Without getting too far into the weeds, Your nephew knows the letter of the law, but not necessarily the practice of the law. Consult someone who has real world experience.

Does anyone know approximately what DQ month is being scheduled for IR1/CR1 interviews currently?

If she doesn't want you to come, stay home.

The mods are finishing their popcorn first... this one is too good to close too fast, lol.

Sounds like the CO did you a favor denying your visa for this school.

So the lawyer was not involved in the original I-130, so they don't want to touch it. Was the 601 filed strictly for the marriage misrepresentation, or were there other issues as well?

How would someone reply to this NOIR? If they are asking for a non-existent divorce decree, are you supposed to reply that there is none, and that you previously committed visa fraud, but have requested a waiver? Seems to me that a reply like that would have the same result as not bothering to reply. I'm not sure there was anything for the lawyer to do. These situations never end well.

You are not going to find a lot of attorneys here. This is primarily a do - it - yourself site. Most people will tell you that you don't need a lawyer, but if it makes you more comfortable, go for it... just double check every. single. thing. they. do. I'll leave it to others to explain the pros and cons of CR1 v. K1.

Take a look at the link below. Depending on the service center, it is taking anywhere from 1.5 months to 27 months. It took us 20 months through Texas. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Calling H&R Block a trained tax service is a bit of an overstatement.

First, I would not seek legal advice from a disbarred attorney. (Been there, done that... it didn't end well for us)

Congrats! Ours was just processed yesterday so things are finally moving for us too.
