A Green card for the 13-year-old might not be a good idea at this time. He can't live in Canada as a US Green card holder. As you stated, visitation is quite easy for Canadians.

I should have said Welcome to Visa Journey. Sadly, US immigration is a long process....especially for siblings....and even longer for some countries.

From the Visa Bulletin. Adjustment of Status applies only to applicants who are already in the US. Sister is outside the US. The sister will be applying for a visa, not adjustment of status....in about 20 years. Table A indicates when F4 visa category petitions become current. Step 1: Submit the I-130 Step 2: Wait about 20 years (or until Priority date becomes current). Visa Bulletin For February 2024 (state.gov)

You said the sister is outside the US. Adjustment of Status is not applicable for this case. Table B is not applicable here. Look at Table A.

Looks like PD of 2012.

He got his Green card through the marriage, correct?

It might already affect his GC. He needs to get a good attorney asap, imho.

Might have to immediately withdraw the N-400, if possible. This could get real messy.

Time to "lawyer up", imho. This is no longer DIY. Have they claimed misrepresentation yet? Did he just apply for citizenship?

If visiting is easy, why choose the K-1? The processing times are not much different for a CR-1 vs a K-1. Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

On one case, Hacking said "When you enter on ESTA, technically, you have not been inspected"...... I'm not sure what he meant by that.

"Should I look for somebody else"........ Hacking: "You just asked the wrong question. Now, we must go...." Also, the first caller asked about several ways to stay in the US....

OK. I just got the "are you sure you should be here" error again. My browser had 2 sets of cookies: www.visajourney.com This one looked OK. visajourney.com This one appeared to be corrupt. I cleared it, and all returned to normal. I am going to pm the Captain with this info.

Trump has a significant lead in every critical swing state. Some media agencies place too much emphasis on national polls. A popular vote "win" would be icing on the cake for Trump and might shut up some of the media. The Founding Fathers were smart cookies when they set up the Electoral College.

Real estate is not classified as a reportable foreign asset (as are foreign accounts, etc). However, any income from the rental or sale of that real estate would have to be reported as income.

Your problem is going to be domicile. Make sure you show that you are in Morocco temporarily....that you will move back to the US.

I-485s do not go to NVC. The next notification will be either an approval, an RFE, or an interview notice...from your local office.

She did not say she was married in that B2 application, did she?

I have never heard of this letter being issued after a Green card. As @Ontarkie stated, If you never filed for Removal of Conditions (if required), then, that is an issue, too.

No. That would violate the conditions of your visitor privileges. Can My Child Attend School in the US on a Tourist Visa? (ailawoffice.com)
