    I strongly recommend you take the time to do some more research. You've made several incorrect assumptions about the process. Especially since it sounds like you may have never met in person ("dating" for 4 months? Online?), and you sound very young. When doing your research, you'll also want to look at your financial sponsorship obligations.

    Did he remove conditions? Even if applying based on the 5 year rule, the circumstances of how he initially got the GC matter. Sounds like they suspect fraud. Even if he withdraws his application from citizenship, he could be referred to an immigration judge. I agree, he needs a lawyer.

    Sounds like he has an inadmissibility. Maybe they are sending it back to the US for review?
  4. SalishSea
    So you did a fraudulent asylum claim? Great.

    No agency can expedite beyond what an individual can expedite. All US passports are processed via the US Passport Agency, Dept of State. Just like RapidVisa et al cannot expedite visas beyond what an individual applicant can do.

    Have you looked at the websites for those countries?

    Marrying for the purpose of obtaining a green card is FRAUD.

    Of course “they certainly did not tell her at any point.” Why would they? It has nothing to do with the U.S. embassy or any visa. It is a requirement of the government of the Philippines, for citizens who move overseas. It 100% has nothing to do with the United States. Filipinos need to be aware of their own country’s laws and requirements, just like any citizen of any other country.

    It’s not in any way related to the U.S. visa process. It’s 100% Philippines.

    No. He would have to be in status when a visa is available for him, which could be 20 years.
  11. SalishSea
    LOL, okay. You asked, but you already know- go for it!
  12. SalishSea
    Oh boy. Not sure anyone here can actually help you. You’re one of the few who would benefit from paid help- the VJ ‘partners’ (links at the top), or an immigration attorney.

    Must be a language/communication issue in this thread. I don’t think OP meant to say that she tried to flee from the petitioner.
  14. SalishSea
    OP is not inquiring about US visas.
  15. SalishSea
    If that is how we are coming across, it is because you do not seem prepared or informed about the AOS process at all. It might help you to do some reading of reliable (USCIS) sources.

    20-30 years +.

    Why I-601?

    Nope, you'll need a certified copy of a marriage certificate to file. Check Michigan's DMV for details on getting a driver's license. Note: in some states, you can't get one until you have an actual green card. I'm not sure about Michigan. In my opinion, the first thing to do when you land (and before marrying) is to apply for the SSN.

    I believe it is taking quite a bit longer than 5 months.

    I’m confused about the different N-400 filing fees….with or without biometrics. Doesn’t everyone get biometrics?
  21. SalishSea
    They absolutely can. If asked outright whether you're coming in to marry, do not lie.
  22. SalishSea
    Don't forget that USCIS is notorious for failure to properly update statuses. There have been VJ members whose status has remained at "interview was scheduled" long after they received their card. Honestly, I think you're fine.

    And my $0.02: I still find it strange. If my spouse had not been able to come here, I would have gone to NZ. I personally wouldn't want to remain in a relationship where "economic advantage" was the primary focus, and my partner didn't want to continue if he couldn't come to the US. I also find arranged marriages/cousin marriages strange. There are certainly ways to better one's situation in life, besides marriage.
  24. SalishSea
    Your leg is not used in gathering biometrics. There are no toe prints required. Please do not use resources you don't need. Some folks out there are really homebound due to disability and need those resources.
  25. SalishSea
    I think you will need to marry and spend more time together, and then petition for a CR-1 visa. Unfortunately when you're dealing with high-risk high-fraud consulates, your burden of proof is much higher.
