Is that law/policy still in effect?

It was an alleged policy like 3 years ago because of possible 'natural disasters' but don't know if that really pushed any of them to the front of the line (could be close ties to the US also, but doubt it) but don't think anything like that is in affect. Also had heard it actually was just fully in place because of the potential for storms and such but again, doubt it really.

Yea US could care less about that stuff as her financials have no bearing on the process anyways, just the US petitioners. They don't even ask for anything like that from the beneficiary so.

Do I need to submit an original I-134 to the embassy or is a photocopy enough?

Some will say photo copy is fine, but as noted above, can be embassy specific. Honestly, why chance it? Spend the money and just mail the documents.

Hi guys

 

does anybody know what’s goig on with Casablanca consulat in morocco? Are they having troubles wit issuing visas???

  What visa? Need little more info about time line and all to even begin to give advice.

Petitioner, regardless whether they qualify financially, is always primary sponsor, and must submit all evidence of finances they can to include tax returns (or verification of why they did not/did not have to file).

Hi All, I just want to ask if anyone of you experienced the same thing. We sent our AOS packet June 29,2019 (Saturday) via USPS to Chicago, IL lockbox. I was notified by USPS that was delivered successfully. It's more than 2 weeks now going 3 weeks until now we haven't received any TEXT,mail from USCIS if they  received it or NOT. Should i be worried ? By the way we used creditcard as a  payment could it be possible thats one thing?(we don't see any charge on the credit card yet).

Can be up to 30 days. Not unheard of. You did make sure to use the electronic notification sheet right? Also, until payment is taken, check/credit card/ect.. they won't notify you. So once payment is done then you'll get notified.

Mostly money I suppose. I do try to look at it in their eyes but literally every example can be suspicious. Can say the same at 80, 85, then again at 90 (well, she's probably got 5 years left and wants to spend them in the US with her daughter). Oh, she's 75, she's trying to retire there for sure. 

 

 

Well again, as hard as it is to seem to be able to self-justify their decision, even in the sense of my husband, he knows his dad would never get a tourist visa probably, so he is in same situation, but we just plan to travel and visit when we can there. That's the simple solution then trying to fight something that you can't fight. So that's the simple solution for your wife's situation, take a family trip and visit Mexico. 

Besides, even getting a tourist visa doesn't mean she might not get turned away upon trying to enter, whether in an airport or the border, even the visa itself doesn't guarantee entry, only offers the possibility.

Well more to the point, why the 10 year wait? All can seem suspicious to the embassy. At 70, all of a sudden after a decade, trying to go visit the US? to them again it may seem like she's planning her retirement in the US with her daughter and grand kids. You have to be realistic with this things, so many people before have done it, hence why it is tough for some to ever obtain a tourist visa from certain countries (Philippines for example, difficult because of prior misuses by so many, and it still happens almost everyday probably)

But it comes down to if he is actually legally your father. Just being a "father figure" and supporter doesn't legally make him your father in sense of the law, least not when it comes to US law. Your father, whether passed/deceased or whatever is always the father.

No issues. Either is fine.

You may be able to try, but since 'refugee' in France, chances of them allowing you to then go to the US is low probably. Plus like above, need to show finances, strong ties to home country, which is probably your biggest hurdle.

Agree. Add all that you can, better to just be upfront with it all now instead of risk consequences later.

He leaves in 33 days? always an option.

Or yea get a good immigration attorney but that still won't entirely offset the issue, maybe only delay it.

Any visa can be denied for a lot of reasons. No visa is guaranteed. Even take examples of a tourist visa, the person can actually get the visa, and still be denied entry at immigrations as the visa is just the ability to enter the US, not guraranteed entry.

Hello,

 

Me and my fiancee are scheduling the interview at the Consulate in Rio (Brazil). 

 

Regarding a Joint Sponsor filing a I-134, what is the time in which a I-134 for the purpose of a K1 non-immigrant visa valid? Does the validity expire after the 90 days in which myself and my fiancee get married and file for Adjustment of Status? Does the I-864 supersede the I-134 making the I-134 invalid? Also, when does the I-134 become effective?

The I-134 is not legally binding. So technically the co-sponsor isn't even on the "hook" financially, nor is there really a validity date to it at all.

Now as to the I-864, which is 125% the poverty guideline, that is legally binding, so yes in a sense it will override the I-134, and the co-sponsor is on the hook legally for it.

Actually way i google it Obama deported more than Trump

 

Under the Obama administration, ICE deported more than 385,000 each year in fiscal years 2009 through 2011, and hit a high of 409,849 in fiscal 2012 — prompting critics to dub Trump’s predecessor “the deporter in chief.” The numbers then dropped to below 250,000 in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.

Haha I know was being way overly sarcastic just to show how insane some people react these days to Trump and his immigration stance and all. But looking forward to this new "huge" push for quick deportations coming up... but anyways, won't get political with this post... just waiting patiently for the OP...

Unfortunately, and I say that as having had my husband here through K-1 visa process. This is part of the 'restrictions' with the K-1 route. While for us it really was only means of being together, others do have the CR-1 option which would eliminate this matter completely in sense of AOS'ing. Others have been in your place, so while it can be a pain, have to occupy your time. Make your now spouse take a trip somewhere even for a few days, more dinner/date nights out, go explore your area. Obviously if you just sit home 24/7, yea most would lose their minds, but got to find other things to do in the mean time.

Coming from liberal California? What... and during the Obama admin? No way! Lies lies lies!! Fake news!...

But on a serious note, yea there's a few question marks in the story so far so please elaborate more. But ultimately, ignoring original orders was biggest mistake. And poor actions and choices have consequences.

All I-129f go through Texas lockbox and get transferred. How long ago was this petition?  It may sit for awhile but like others said it will expire in time.

Hi Everyone!

I am about to petition my wife and would like to get more advise in this platform. Here is my question: Is there a difference in the timing process between submitting your CR1 in Dakar and the US? Thanks in advance for your response!

You can file the I-130 for the CR-1 from either the US or abroad. Will be same time lines either way. If abroad, as in living, remember have to re-establish domicile in the US before the visa would be approved though.
