    Right, not sure what gave OP the idea that it would be a quick process.
  2. SalishSea
    Last minute marriage ‘just in case’?
  3. SalishSea
    You need a lawyer, or someone competent to help with the process, if you cannot manage to get even the name of the visa applicant correct for the medical. You have enough issues coming from Pakistan, these problems you created just make them worse.

    They do not have to give a reason, and likely will not.
  5. SalishSea
    Lol. That can’t be true.
  6. SalishSea
    That’s where you’re wrong. They don’t give out immigration advice or tips.

    Thanks for updating! Best wishes going forward.

    Trust the pushbrk, he knows his stuff!

    You can get married anywhere that it is legal to do so. Do not file for a spousal visa until you have a certified, translated marriage certificate. You can file for a K-1 anytime as long as you’re unmarried. Both processes will take AT LEAST two years before she has a visa to immigrate to the United States.

    “No just cause”? Huh? You were denied because you were ineligible for the visa. Going forward, you will want to do everything with 100% honesty if you want to immigrate.
  11. SalishSea
    No. It will be like 15 years or more until an immigrant visa is available. The bigger issue is if they try to visit too much or "live" in the US on their B visas....they could be denied entry.
  12. SalishSea
    I can't see her ever getting another tourist visa, honestly. Sounds like her ban is nearly over, so she won't need a waiver, but it will take at least two years for her to get an immigrant visa.
  13. SalishSea
    For what reason? Do you hope to annoy them into making a decision? It doesn't work like that...
  14. SalishSea
    Right, but there is nothing in this thread to indicate that she is eligible for VAWA. There are actual criteria to qualify for VAWA, not just an unsuccessful marriage.
  15. SalishSea
    Best post in this thread. There is no fair way to quantify the value of a person.
  16. SalishSea
    She has no other path to adjustment of status, except through you.
  17. SalishSea
    You can help them, they'll need to sign it. If the idea is for them to come over and adjust status, that is fraud, and she should petition them for immigrant visas once she is a citizen.
  18. SalishSea
    No. There are no guarantees or absolutes for these situations.
  19. SalishSea
    Well, that was certainly a red flag. No one is ever pre-approved, or 'approved on the spot.' Higher levels of vetting, via the DS-5535 seems to be a thing for Canadians now. All you can do is wait.
  20. SalishSea
    What?! OMG, NO! So much NO. You do not just marry and then arrive at the border to ask them to admit your spouse. Wow. She needs a visa to legally live and work in the US, and there is no shortcut or clever way around that. It will take TWO YEARS.
  21. SalishSea
    Your post is completely full of assumptions and inaccuracies. Strongly recommend you do some research. NOTHING about this process is cheap, fast or easy, and at this point it sounds like you're headed for a permanent ban from entering the US. Have you looked at USCIS.gov? If not, do so now.
  22. SalishSea
    Assuming you mean trial - but why would you want to take this to trial? That can in no way benefit you. I'm assuming there are no kids or joint property, due to the very short nature of the marriage? Usually these things are sorted out via mediation, or just approved by the courts without a trial.
  23. SalishSea
    The only waiver she is eligible for would be VAWA, and there are specific criteria/evidence she'd need to get that approved.
  24. SalishSea
    Right. I figured the court has a copy of the originally filed papers, including the petition and the I-134. My comment was that regardless of whether OP remembers signing one, he would have, as part of the process for sponsoring the K-1 itself.
  25. SalishSea
    So they issued a derivative visa in a category that is not eligible? If so, that's the first I've seen that...
