    Invitation letters don't help.

    Also, your brother's polygamy excludes him from immigrating to Canada. False birth certificates are the least of his problems.

    File a spousal visa for him. He may / may not be able to continue to work in the US.

    This is immigration fraud. Do not do it.
  5. EmilyW
    I would say yes, it was approved and your case has been expedited.

    For me, I didn't want to deal with USCIS anymore. And my home country - Australia - is not a country I feel a strong attachment to anymore (especially after their awful COVID response). Like any country, the US has its good and its bad points. I don't feel 'American' but I do feel like I belong (first time ever, after living in Australia, Europe and Asia), hence getting naturalized seemed to be a natural next step.

    The day Mrs Crazy Cat gets naturalized, I'm going to pray for VJ's servers! She may just break this corner of the internet.

    I was hoping for a fairytale ending and it happened! Congratulations!

    Nope. Entering the lottery won't impact any other visa. Winning a number in the lottery won't impact any other visa. Winning a number in the lottery AND submitting a DS-260 may have an impact, as the DS-260 is effectively a statement of intent to immigrate.

    I did the same with the employment dates: didn't make a lick of difference. As everyone has said.... breathe and remind yourself that you got this.

    Good luck! I've heard of many DV Lottery miracles so I hope yours will be added to them.

    If you don't have your interview date by now, I would prepare yourself to not get the opportunity this time around. From memory, I got my GC via the DV lottery a few years back, we got a month's notice for the interview. Is your case current in the Visa Bulletin? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2022/visa-bulletin-for-september-2022.html

    On the bright side, if you're doing all the driving, he needs to do all the drinks and snacks. 🙂

    I'm not sure this would work. Would it be possible to do IVF in Ghana? That way, you can continue on your plan of starting a family without having to wait for US immigration?
  15. EmilyW
    For the DV, perhaps it's because they run up against a deadline, after which no cases for that year can be processed?

    Normally, I'd say ditch the car. But then you said it was a Stinger, and I was like 'yeahhhhh, that's the kind of car you don't want to part with'. Sorry, I have no advice, but you have good taste in cars.

    Unfortunately, she has ties to the US via yourself. A reason to stay. She needs to prove ties to her homeland / evidence that she will return home and not stay and try to marry and adjust in the US (as many of her compatriots have done in the past). Give it a try, though. If you don't apply, you'll never know.

    Am I missing something? Can an LPR file for AOS for their spouse? I thought AOS was only open to spouses of US citizens.
  19. EmilyW
    Ah ok, got it. I have the same too and it's handy. I hope you're able to get the money together soon and that you and the missus have a wonderful life together.
  20. EmilyW
    OP, if finances are a concern, filing AOS is relatively simple. Save the money you're using on lawyers, follow the guides and great advice on here, and DIY it.
  21. EmilyW
    I don't think your plan will work. Best option is for your wife (if she is a citizen) to petition for her sister and wait.

    They will also ask you to write out a sentence in English. They will say it verbally, and you will be required to write it down in English.

    Using ESTA to live in the US (for all intents and purposes), which is what the CBP believed at the time of the last entry, is abuse of ESTA privileges. General rule of thumb is to spent more time out than in, and the OP has come - IMO - dangerously close to the latter. OP, the only thing a lawyer can do for you is take your money. If your ESTA was not revoked, I'd wait a year or so to come back. In the meantime, get your partner to visit you in Spain.

    As far as I know, you can only interview in a country where you have residency.
  25. EmilyW
    As someone suggested above, you can file a re-entry permit and go back and live with your new husband. You can also file a petition for him with your status as an LPR. Citizenship is a long way off for you right now. Your priority should be re-establishing yourself as a resident and go from there. Everything you're planning hinges on you being back in the country. If nothing else, come back and see your first born. They probably miss you bunches.
