  1. YOU don’t file for that. SHE can certainly file for that when eligible.
  2. There may be info posted on the US embassy Haiti website. In similar situations we have seen, all visa operations would be deferred and any resources used solely for the purpose of assisting US citizens to get out of the country. There is not much you can do.
  3. Well then obviously a B visa is not going to be a viable alternative.
  4. They can't do that. They need a B visa to visit. And based on the fact that you posted this on the 'Bringing Family Members of US Citizens' board, you will need to petition your family member properly. They cannot visit and stay to adjust.
  5. In this case, CR-1 would have been a much smarter choice. If you need to travel, I wouldn't rely on advanced parole. There is no guaranteed timeline, and it is not a substitute for a green card.
  6. That isn't it at all. US citizens have been scammed for green cards by people from third-world and developing countries. It pays to be vigilant whenever there is a large difference in equity in a relationship. Many of these marriages would never happen if living in the US was off the table....
  7. So does filing a fiance visa petition without being completely sure. After all, it does require intent to marry. It is not a "try it out and see" type of deal.
  8. No, and no. Add things that are not required won't increase chance of approval.
  9. Are you talking about petition denials? Because the State Department does not publish such info on visas.
  10. Also- having kids neither hurts nor helps the chances of a denial.
  11. They will wonder how you can afford frequent, long vacations. Many people don’t realize that even remote work is not allowed on a B visa.
  12. 3-6 months from start to finish, visa in hand? That has never been the case in all the years I’ve been on VJ.
  13. There are no derivatives for immediate relatives.
  14. It was intended as a way to explain why it might take longer. And it is true- many of the reasons for delays in the AOS process are not present in consular processing. OP made that choice, it’s a trade-off.
  15. But was yours an entry on a visa? Instead of petitioning her, she entered the US and is adjusting status, which is a convenient way to bypass the long queue in Montreal.
  16. Geopolitical situation 25 years from now is impossible to predict. Not sure why this is even a concern currently?
  17. You are grasping at straws here. There are no loopholes to the wait times, which are only getting longer due to the sheer volumes of petitions filed.
  18. It’s just bizarre to even bring it to the attention of the airline/your country’s passport control. I agree with Crazy Cat, for other people reading this: do not do this.
