I hate how frequent these kind of situations are with Green Card holders and USC...It's either USC get some slave owner instincts going on or GC holder tries to ditch USC as soon as they get to States..I think people who genuinely just go through all these processes to get their status in the States legal just to be with their loved ones are in minority..

hi
nope, the 3 year rule still applies, you have to be a GC holder for 3 years, 90 days prior to the 3 years she can apply for citizenship

Why? Because it says "never been apart since"?
It also says they'll start the CR1/IR1 process in October. That points to a beneficiary living abroad.

She visited and left. Her husband left the USA with her and they have been living in her home country ever since. No overstay. Nothing illegal. No questions about her status.

you have to be a USC to be able to petition your mom
your husband cant petition her, has to be you

First off, I am sorry that your case was denied. It seems that most cases are viewed by the quality of proofs that are sent ..... not the quantity.
People always mention that the interview was "short and sweet" and the CO didn't give you the chance to give evidence before you were handed a denial slip. The fact is that the interviewing CO reviewed your case before you came to the window for the face to face interview. Most likely his decision was already made before the interview.
It seems that immigration is personal....What applies to one couple, doesn't mean that it applies to the next. Yes we all have basic requirements to file our petitions. But it is up to us to provide solid convincing evidence that will not create any doubts in the CO's mind. Face time is solid evidence.

You satisfied the USCIS petition requirement.
You came nowhere near to satisfying the consular expectation of a bona fide relationship.

The issue that I see is in three years he has never visited. That is the red flag. They most likely are wanting to see where you have established a relationship face to face.
Even if you marry, you still have this problem.

You met the minimum requirement of meeting at least once within 2 years for the I-129F petition.
However, the US consulate possibly want to see more visits and physical "face time" to be convinced the relationship is genuine.
Time spent together in person carries a lot of weight in the eyes of the CO, than sending thousand pages of messaging logs.

I'd cut them loose so quick! Family or not, it is NEVER OK to be racist or homophobic. Here is the good news, you are marrying their daughter, not the family, so you can choose not to spend time with them AT ALL. Quite frankly I can't even stand to be in the same room with any bigots. Life is too short to put up with people who has no place in your life. JMHO.

Are you going to be living close to her family? Or even worse.... WITH them?
Whatever comments you see them post on Facebook is multiplied under their own roof.

You seriously lack comprehension skills. Do you READ to UNDERSTAND?

^^Oh here, another judge. Don't lose your head or lock your neck in the "smh"
OP's problem is more than a mere health insurance. If you paid attention to the original post, you would have known that I offered solutions despite my "judgmental".
He asked for opinions and I gave him mine. I didn't call him a bad name or anything. My opinion might be harsh but OP needs a wake up call to do something other than what he is doing now. His job at the church doesn't seem to be bringing in much and with a baby on the way, a health insurance alone is not the only advice he needs.
If I were in his shoes, I would use my own advice.
So don't let the gavel hit your thumb.

You guys are barely surviving here and you are bringing a child into the mix? The childbirth alone will cost y'all at least $10,000 on a lucky day.
Are you guys looking for other jobs? It is cool and awesome for work for the church, but you guys need to try to earn a living outside of the church.
You have health insurance penalties coming up.
You say you don't intend to stay here for good but is this the life you want for yourself, your child and your family? Are things that bad in your home country?
You have to make smart choices and not let things happen.

I hate how frequent these kind of situations are with Green Card holders and USC...It's either USC get some slave owner instincts going on or GC holder tries to ditch USC as soon as they get to States..I think people who genuinely just go through all these processes to get their status in the States legal just to be with their loved ones are in minority..

But you still pay for it! Nothing is for free, anywhere. You still pay for that ''luxury'', you still pay for that power and food which are extremely expensive compared to the prices the less wealthier countries have. Life in the United States is extremely stressful and tough, you have to work super hard to have those basic luxuries and things other countries don't have. And it's a personal decision if one wants to be under that constant pressure or not. If OP s parents have enough money to sustain themselves in Mexico I don't see any need of them relocating to the States unless they have to be there with their son and they just cant be apart. The moral is United States is indeed beautiful country with lots and lots of opportunities and things to enjoy but nothing is free. And nothing gets you just pure benefits and rainbow candies on a platter. All has it's price.

Oh look, threats of deportation again. How original!
Look, they can't touch you nor do they seem to understand the parameters of sponsorship. They would be liable to repay the government if you receive means-tested aid. (If the government bothered to seek repayment). They are not responsible for your rent, clothes, food, tuition, or any other "bills" so to speak. She doesn't have to support you literally. The scheme to try hurt your immigration path is futile and speaks volumes to their character. Sit back and laugh at these childish games as you distance yourself from these fools.

Hello everyone! I looked for a similar question and just couldn't find anything that quite fit my current situation. I have a few questions regarding it.
I am a permanent resident in the United States. I have been living here since 2012 after getting married to an American Citizen on a K1 visa. Our marriage ultimately failed a little less than a year after I got my 10 year GC. We are not divorced yet, but we live in separate places. Although the marriage failed, we are still in good terms with each other. To a certain extent, her family is still fairly friendly towards me, and I do think they're great people. The only problem we have lies in the sponsorship.
When we got married, her mother was the co-sponsor since my former wife didn't meet the standards. She still doesn't. What's going on right now is that her mother is afraid I might drain her resources (I currently am a student but they provide me no money whatsoever and I do just fine). She obviously doesn't want the liability and doesn't want to go forward being obligated to be a sponsor of someone who no longer is part of her family (which is very understandable). We all understand that she can't get out of that contract until I become a citizen (which I intended on doing regardless), however, some other people in her family have been talking about alternative ways for her to get out of that contract. The only way I know it is because my ex wife told me.
Their ideas revolve around doing things to hurt my immigration status or ultimately place me in deportation/removal. I seriously don't believe they would do that to me, but I am still scared. The last thing I heard is that they suggested my ex to annul the marriage under the premise that it was entered in bad faith (which it wasn't and we both agree and know it wasn't) and then call immigration about it. I highly doubt my ex would ever do that to me, but it's a very unpleasant thought nonetheless.
Is there anything they can do to hurt me in that regard? Can they do anything that could place me in removal/deportation proceedings so I'd be obligated to abandon my status? If so, how can I protect myself from it?
Thanks for looking, and thanks for your help. Good luck to all in their own timelines!

^^ Then you should ask that relative who brought this up, the "benefit" she was talking about.
I wonder why you couldn't answer that question with everything you posted in this quoted comment.
Why are you asking us?

Medical services and medications are much cheaper in Mexico. In the USA people lose houses, because they cannot afford medical bills.

Your parents retired and they are getting older. They might have some (minor or major) health issues in future.
If they will need help to pay medical bills or medications, it's gonna be easier for you to support them financially.

Those benefits everybody mentions are important for young people. For older folks there are different priorities.
And like I said it's easier to support them financially when they are in Mexico.
