  1. Okay, I think you’ll get some scrutiny from that, especially if the immigrant is using means-tested benefits.
  2. I don’t understand how you could lose a 551- isn’t it a stamp in your passport? How do you travel without your passport?
  3. Food stamps and medical assistance? How are you able to support an immigrant if you’re under the poverty line?
  4. Your best bet for relieving your I-864 contract with the US govt, as mentioned above, is for her to become a USC.
  5. A messy divorce doesn't equate to GC fraud. Obviously you previously provided evidence of a bonafide marriage. See the issue there?
  6. You missed the point - it was about why she couldn't naturalize under the 3 year rule as your spouse......
  7. Then why must your wife wait 5 years? Doesn’t make sense.
  8. Assuming you meet all of the eligibility requirements, you can submit a petition, yes. Will you ultimately be successful getting the visa? That’s dependent upon many other factors.
  9. Work Visa is a long shot for many reasons….
  10. Politicians do not approve or deny petitions or waivers. That is the job of USCIS.
  11. You will want to read up on the financial sponsorship and domicile requirements so you can plan accordingly.
  12. Unfortunately, it takes some effort, and deliberately commingling financials is what most people do. That said, we had no problems even though my husband is not on the deed to my house, since I owned it prior to marriage. We did have joint accounts, jointly owned assets, and each other as beneficiaries.
  13. Been that way for years, since they closed all of the USCIS international offices.
  14. I believe the official approval time currently on USCIS is around 13 months. Could be shorter or longer obviously. Time spent at NVC is mostly dependent upon consulate.
  15. I don't think you are eligible to bring someone over on a family reunification visa unless you are domiciled in the US. You may need to wait until you return to the US.
  16. What do you mean? There is only one correct answer.
  17. You cannot (and SHOULD not) attempt to file without a marriage certificate. The petition will be denied. As you were told multiple times in this thread, you will soon be out of status until you've properly filed to adjust.
  18. I agree, other parameters will impact this. In particular, whether other adult relatives have overstayed/adjusted.
  19. Her B2 denial had nothing to do with applying from a country where she is residing. It was because they rightly suspect immigrant intent. Petition her properly for a visa and it will not be an issue.
  20. How do you know "they always come back with nothing"? Department of state does not make those results available. You seem surprised that this is happening. The US does not have diplomatic relations with Iran, so it is completely expected. WOM cannot waive or expedite background checks. Seems like perhaps you received faulty legal advice. It can compel a decision, but if the extensive security process done for Iranians is not complete, that decision defaults to a denial.
  21. Right, it very well may take that long, which is why we usually do not recommend trying to get an extension. It's the gamble you take when doing that.
