    But you did not respond to the RFE, right?

    Immigration lawyer can't change immigration law.

    Same for my husband.

    Except that the B is generally voided when the K is issued, and the K is a one-time use visa. The OP's wife would appear to not have a visa, but with pending AOS, is in authorized stay and also has AP.

    I guess that is what you will tell the Mexican border patrol, in that case.

    This is the best course of action here. Makes it legit, so that she doesn't have to worry about being admitted or not.

    There is a long administrative processing thread for Montreal on the Canada-specific page. In some cases, the consulate has had passports for >6 months.

    I'm not sure what your point is. Clearly he is not domiciled in the US. It is more than just paying taxes. Working as a contractor for the military does not exempt the petitioner from the domicile requirement. Most people find they need to move back to establish domicile. Unfortunate that he didn't maintain his voting record and other ties.

    DOS keeps data, by consulate, on many things. Fraud is included. Lagos is considered to be in a class of it's own in that capacity.

    My comment was really more based on the fact that as he doesn't plan to do the petition until later this year, he has around two years before he needs to worry about paying DS-160 fees.

    Your visa and future green card is based entirely on a bonafide marriage. You are standing on shaky ground here with marriage fraud.

    And at some consulates, it could be another 6+ months before an interview is scheduled.

    So sorry for your loss <3. Yes, you can self-petition as a widow. I am not sure of the details on how to do that. Trying to think of someone here who may know...... maybe @Villanelle ? @TBoneTX, can you think of anyone else who might know? I was trying to tag Sandra and Jan, but I guess I didn't get their exact usernames correctly.

    I wasn't trying to make anyone "feel better."
  15. SalishSea
    "Victim shaming"? LOL.
  16. SalishSea
    Ah. Well, doesn't seem like anything widespread, or to lose sleep over.

    She is not eligible to AOS. You need to petition her for a visa, like everyone else. You certainly can petition her before becoming domiciled. You have loads of time before that needs to be done.

    Huh. So if large numbers of folks are suddenly becoming unable to work or drive, how come we're not hearing about it here on VJ? In all the time I've been reading here, I don't think I've read about that happening, ever.

    Driving is not GC-dependent in every state. What do you mean "after 24 months your letter is not good"?
  20. SalishSea
    The DS 160 is generally paid by the beneficiary when scheduling (or confirming a scheduled) appointment. Also, most consulates email the petitioner a "packet 3," which is a list of instructions of what to bring to the interview, such as the I-134. You likely have at least two years before you need to worry about any of that.
  21. SalishSea
    So did we. Our county sells certified copies for like $2, so we sent one of those. No issues whatsoever.

    As Boiler said, add about one year to your plan. Your spouse should start the petition process asap. Another thing to think about - if you are permanently retired and not planning to work in the US, your (working?) spouse will want to plan to add you to his workplace based health insurance. If that is not possible, you'll want to research purchasing a plan, as you won't be eligible for Medicare.
  23. SalishSea
    Completely agree. We are 7 months in, and I don't expect any movement on our case for the next year at least. And personally, I'd rather have those resources used to get people EADs, so they can work and contribute to the economy.
  24. SalishSea
    And you won’t, because it was rapidly axed by moderation. Now it exists only in the catacombs of the minds of VJ old-timers.

    Should be noted too that asylum cases are not evaluated solely on thoughts and fears. The burden is on the applicant to show evidence of credible threats to their safely.
