Okay if I go to the Philippines and marry her there right after the marriage is done what can I do next to get her to come back to California with me when I leave? Or well we still have to wait 7 to 9 month for the K1 visa to go through before she can come live or visit California with me? 

u need to do reading.  this is DIY.  u not understand basic immigration.

k1 is for fiancee not for wife.  wife can not use k1.

after marry, she can not go to US immediately with u.  u file spousal visa.  takes 1 year for visa.

she will NEVER get a visitor visa to visit u in the US.  NEVER.

I would appreciate it if you could talk with him. Another issue he has glaucoma. But that's years before he left the states. I really do love my husband and just want what's best for him. So he can be happy. It's very stressing on me being that I can't leave him all by himself to work. 

u want people to call a stranger and talk to him?  no.  people don't go out of their way to help people on VJ like that.  no one is going to talk to ur husband.  people help here online only.

ur husband need to call his family and friends in US for help.

No, we have not met in real life yet. What we would LIKE & would BE IDEAL is if she could get a traveler's Visa to come here to visit for a little while. Then after her time is up here I would go back to the Philippines with her, meet her family, stay and visit a while to spend time more time together and everything.

We want to get married when she comes to California but can wait and do it in the Philippines also. However everything I've read so far online says that basically there's no chance at all she could get a Travelers Visa and when it comes two a K1 you can't get that either cuz we haven't met in person. Kind of a catch-22 and pain in the ### it seems so far. Is there any kind of leeway for Iraq or veterans or disabled Iraq War veterans? As I said I am a disabled Iraq war veteran I have three bulging herniated disc a displaced and pinched nerve sciatica and neuropathy and something with my knee which they can't tell me. With the physical disabilities I also have PTSD and anxiety, and it got me thinking would there be any chance of maybe getting a waiver seeing as how I have injuries and serious chronic pain and being on a long plane ride would no questions asked make it terrible and not to mention anxiety from PTSD? I'm guessing probably not but worth looking into. Or does anybody know it anything else about getting some kind of extra help through a veteran service office or something? Anyways so now that I filled you in what do you think from here? We're just about done with the passport process and didn't want to start the Visa process until we had everything down to the T. By the way thank you for the help everybody it's very much appreciated

i confuse.  u got nerve damage and PSTD and want waiver for meeting in last 2 years but u can fly to Philippines after she get a visitor visa?  U can't fly to meet the k1 requirement, but u can fly after she get a visitor visa.

sorry but young single filipina with us boyfriend she never meet before is never going to get visitor visa.

u will not get waiver for not meeting.

u wasting time and money filing for visitor visa and file k1 without meeting.

go to Philippines.  then file for her.

YOU ALL RAISING ABUSIVE COMMENTS HERE SHOULD KEEP SHUT. I ONLY ASKED QUESTION AND IF YOU DONT HAVE MEANINGFUL ADVICE PLEASE JUST PASS BY. AND THOSE WITH USEFUL ADVICE, THANKS AND I REALLY APPRECIATE.

abusive?  like asking US citizens bringing family over legally about how you can lie and abuse immigration system to illegally come to our country?  that kind of abusive?

u got lots of meaningful advice - do not lie. 

ur uncle must call lawyer.  waste of time to email lawyer and call senator.

why you guys have to pick up on a word in all sentence and being against to me.

i said so because she can not go back to her mother land .

thats not meaning i m married to her to keep her safe in my country.

i m not that silly to do that after living in usa around 4 years without staying out of the usa more than 45 days.

i did not intent to stay in my home country but what can i do and  as i said before my situation has changed when my wife's family was against to us and won't accept my wife back.

would you marry a person just to keep him/her safe in your country do you think is it only the reason why people getting married ? if i did not love her i would not be here and write asking advice.

wow very nice of you!!!

u got good advice.  everyone tell u ur wife can not come to US to AOS but u no believe.  us don't like answer.  go apply for sb1 and see what happen.

where ur wife right now?

1.  visa fraud.  can not use nonimmigrant visa to come to US to change status.  fraud. 

2.  see 1.

3.  way 2 complicated.  waste of time. 

4. k3 no longer use

5. possible

here ur fiancee's problem.  no us tax returns.  no us domicle.  she need to figure out both before she can file anything for u.

advice.  get marry.  she move to US.  she file for spousal visa.  u move to US one year.   tuition cheaper for green card holder.  foreign student pay lots more.

lie to US government to commit fraud for a visa.  good idea.  what can go wrong?

u been refuse 4 visas to US.  Why u so desperate to lie to come to US?

overstay.  ignore us immigration laws.  what can go wrong?

green card do not get better deal.  if u file like them, you save 1 fee but have to wait 2-4 years.  if u okay with ur wife and stepdaughter wait 2-4 years instead of 1 year for us citizen petitioner to save $535.

rule has not change.  us citizen must alway file separately for wife and child.  lawyer wrong.

marry US citizen can not protect u.  spouses of US citizens get deported all the time. 

u also mess up.  NVC need copy of original language birth certificate.  RFE and delay is ur fault for not follow instructions not NVC.

what ur reason for expedite?  

u don't understand different process between wife and fiancee.  ur wife gets automatic green card when she come to US.  she can work and go home.  fiancee have to file AOS and EAD.  5 months no can work or go home.  must wait almost 1 year for green card.  take longer for ur wife to come to US but she get green card almost 1 year before fiancee.

I tried reading and understanding all previous posts before weighing in so please forgive me if I missed or misunderstood something. I believe the issue here is that your friend came here on a J1 visa. You cannot adjust from that status unless you have an approved waiver. There's a 2 year waiting period. Your friend needed to go back to home country for 2 years before applying for Green Card.

 

Read: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/study-exchange/student/residency-waiver.html

 

Waiver of the Exchange Visitor Two-Year Home-Country Physical Presence Requirement

Overview
Certain exchange visitors (J-1) are subject to a two-year home-country physical presence requirement which requires you to return to your home country for at least two years at the end of your exchange visitor program. This is also known as the foreign residence requirement under U.S. law, Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(e). If you are unable to return to your home country to fulfill the two-year requirement, you must obtain a waiver approved by the Department of Homeland Security prior to changing status in the United States or being issued a visa in certain categories for travel to the United States.

ji not the problem.  

many already post problem.  wife of green card husband overstay can not file I-485.  only wife of US citizen overstay can file I-485

@geowrian@amulWhat do you suggest me to do. I don't think I can involve my family into this at this point of time. But my family has no problem if I'm migrating to any other countries as they are also aware that I want to move somewhere.. Or is there anyone who can help me to get a job or something... There are so many problems happening between us too bcz of my situation and I feel like I'm cheating her.. My situation is pathetic.. There is no other way I think other than migrating illegaly or kill myself 

this is the problem.  u want to migrate illegally or kill yourself.  you r so desperate to come to the US.  if you don't prepare proper case, you will look desperate to US embassy.  you hide from your familiy, you make it look desperate.  u need to work on building strong case cuz u don't have one right now.  u apply now, you will never get approve if they think u desperate and use US citizen for visa.

I think the key differences are 

 

1) We have traveled a lot and all were short quick trips of a week or less 

2) Long term Canadian visa and I also know they will have access to her Canadian file so they will see all those documents and the VO notes 

3) A trip to Canada and back. Since I am also Canadian I could just stay there and apply for PR inland

 

Major difference is we do want to bring her daughter. We promised this time to take her west, she’s a pretty typical 11 year old and wants to see the west. 

 

So before I toss away 320 I want to make sure I have done everything needed to be successful. 

 

I don’t know if this is a good option but what about asking the consulate in Toronto for a short visa so we could go to the USA side of the Niagara Falls. Don’t know if that would increase chances at all. 

no such thing as short visa to go to US. ur wife need visitor visa period.  people tell u but u don't believe.

Refugees use I-94 form to enter the United States.

 

 

no they don't.  i m UN refugee.  i had visa for US.  she need more than I94 to get into US.

how she get on plane to US?  she need visa to get on plane. 

how she enter US with no visa?  refugees need visas or travel documents.  how she get on plane to US?  she file for asylum?  

how she get into US?

I remember a similar case (and I think that it was Morocco too) and it was to do with the fact (if I recall correctly) that the beneficiary was a minor when they met and the petitioner was considerably older. I'll do some searching to see if I can find the thread and see how it ended. But I think you need to now research the process for immigrating to Morocco. 

not similar case.  same case.  look same poster: Coly

those who tell u dont dang ky are stupid.  welcome to America.  leave crooked behind in vietnam.  why my countrymen think that can easily fool us goverment is so stupid.

Would you mind messaging me about the details on this?   We read this and that's what made us believe that he wouldn;t be able to obtain dual citizenship https://www.dualcitizenship.com/countries/netherlands.html Maybe we misunderstood! It would be awesome for him to be a dual citizen. He just didn't want to lose his Dutch citizenship, which I agree with.

read what u post.  ur husband exempt

ead/ap don't take 2 months.  ead/ap takes 4-5 months.  don't buy tickets before getting ead/ap.

u can get us passports for ur children to show they r us citizens.  cheaper
