  1. No. Your only option is to petition them for an immigrant visa, using an I-130. It will. E an F visa (family members of LPRs).
  2. Everyone who overstays has every intention of returning. That’s the problem.
  3. You posted this paragraph 3 times. Please do not spam.
  4. Unlikely for an Indian spouse of USC to get a B2. The assumption is that the plan would be to circumvent the Mumbai wait and attempt to adjust status, which is fraud. And as much as she may plan to return, past behavior of her fellow Indians would suggest otherwise. Anyone who can afford the DS160 fee can apply though. Apartment lease is not a strong tied
  5. There’s no way to know why you’re in AP. I’m sure the country of origin has something to do with it. All you can do is wait.
  6. VJ timelines actually matter. To me, that looks like the case was sent to NVC in error, and then returned to USCIS, but that’s just a guess without more info from you.
  7. We sent passport stamps/boarding passes for the one required meeting, and then just listed the other dates and locations of all of our other trips together in the years leading up to the petition. For low-fraud consulates, you don’t get “brownie points” for multiple meetings, but it’s easy to document them, so why not?
  8. To be fair, I'd say that is atypical for the US. Each state is different. If I were to order a certified copy of my BC, it would take 7-10 days.
  9. Not something to lose sleep about, IMHO. US passports are valid evidence of citizenship, and only list the US state where the passport holder was born, not the city. I have local friends here in Seattle whose city of birth listed on their Washington state BC is now technically incorrect because of neighborhood rezoning/annexing.
  10. Exactly. That is the point we are trying to make…..
  11. LOL…..tickets are in no way “proof” of return. You have some very strange ideas.
  12. Due to concerns about fraud, I think there will be more to this process- even if it’s just a repeat of DNA at a consulate-approved lab.
  13. She was denied for immigrant intent. Unless something has changed to strengthen her ties to home (US bf= weak ties to home), she’ll be denied again. You will probably need to go there to visit, and you should absolutely spend much more time in person before submitting a petition for a fiancé visa.
  14. NEVER purchase flights to the U.S. before the visa is in hand.
  15. TB test result from years ago will be irrelevant.
  16. Yeah, sending money abroad to someone you've never met is not something we would ever advise.
  17. No, best bet is to meet elsewhere.
  18. Very unlikely she would get a tourist visa. Have you petitioned her for a fiancé visa? Sounds like you have bigger issues here.
  19. Does he still have the passport containing the old J visa? 2 year requirement, if applicable, is printed right on the visa.
  20. If you’re wondering about a medical/health inadmissibility, then no, it is not a reason for that. I wasn’t sure about the meaning of your last sentence, but if you are saying that your USC fiancé will be able to provide you with health insurance via an employer, that’s excellent! Everyone coming to the U.S. needs health insurance, regardless of past medical/surgical history. ,
  21. You can blame Pakistan for its lack of central criminal records and generally poor record-keeping. It’s so bad, it’s one of the few countries the U.S. doesn’t require a police certificate from for immigrant visas- such certificates would be useless.
  22. This is incorrect. You cannot combine incomes with a joint sponsor. And your “assumption” is also incorrect. I know you’re just trying to be helpful, but you are actually dispensing wrong information here. OP, I gave you the correct answer in your other thread on the same topic, which I’ve asked the mods to merge.
  23. The company wanting to hire you should have their own immigration employment lawyer, who will know what the requirements are.
