  1. Yes, that was my point. The wife, who has the hardship, is not the USC
  2. Doubt it, as the hardship is not on behalf of a USC (wife). It’s free to try though.
  3. great! Good luck. Please let us know how it goes.
  4. Next step is “issued.”
  5. Please read up on the requirements of the K-1 visa.
  6. "Engaged" is not a legal status, but depending on the consulate involved, it could attract scrutiny. You will not be able to file the petition until you have evidence of being free to marry (i.e. final decree of dissolution), for both petitioner and beneficiary.
  7. How do you know it is “approved”? What is the status on the CEAC website?
  8. But see, that’s just it- lawyers often cause delays. Reading and researching the process is in your best interest, regardless.
  9. Was there a reason you went with a lawyer, let alone a TikTok one? Most of us here have done everything DIY: you can’t pay someone enough to care about your case as much as you do. also not sure what you mean by “we are submitting to Dublin Ireland embassy.” The way that it works is after USCIS approves the petition, your documentation is submitted to the department of state (NVC), which dispatches it to the consulate when the file is complete.
  10. USCIS absolutely will conduct background checks on the petitioner.
  11. Like all nonimmigrant visa applicants, YOU will be required to show evidence of a plan to return to your country - the burden for that is entire on you. Yes, you have a pending immigrant case.
  12. Well, yes. You are prepared to swear that you will return to your country with no intention to immigrate, and yet you have an immigrant visa filed on your behalf. See the disconnect here?
  13. But can you see how this would be a very low priority for USCIS, who is inundated with both serious and frivolous expedite cases? There is no emergency here.
  14. Obviously answer all questions accurately and truthfully.
  15. What not just get married in that case? K-1 is not a smart choice if you have financial issues, since you won’t be able to work for many months, up to one year.
  16. A preference for US health care appropriate to a person of retirement age would not qualify as a “medical emergency.”
  17. You can divorce without the other party “complying.” What state are you in? People get divorced without the other party’s participation all the time.
  18. Right, the petition is approved. Sibling visas are numerically limited, so a visa number will not be available for MANY years. Are you familiar with the visa bulletin?
  19. Nothing will happen for 25 years or more.
  20. When did you file?
  21. He should ask his lawyer this question. What is the waiver for? Did he ever claim to be a U.S. citizen?
