Go to the municipal or metropolitan assembly. They should be able to help you with the documents.

Made a mistake on ESTA application - forgot about past employer!
D-R-J replied to clericbeast's topic in Tourist Visas
I think the question you mentioned says “willful misrepresentation.” This is definitely not willful and not providing the information only hurt your chances of getting the visa, if anything. I would check “no” on the DS-160 and not worry about it. If the discrepancy comes up in an interview you can say that you worked for such a short time that you forgot about it. -
Looking for affordable K1 visa lawyer
D-R-J replied to Willybeans23's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
A lawyer is only as good as the information you provide. You are going to be doing the vast majority of the leg work. I would always carefully review their work for errors too. With all that, you are essentially doing everything yourself and they are just filling the forms. If you’re willing to put in the work this is a manageable process. -
The CO told my wife that they would be issuing her a visa, but my understanding is that there is more processing that needed to happen. It is possible that they may need additional documentation or find some issue upon further review. There is always administrative processing after the interview. It’s no sure thing until you have your visa in hand.

F-1 Visa with Juvenile Adjudications (in the US) Merged
D-R-J replied to Exxylado's topic in Student & Exchange Visitor Visas
I don’t think so; see: 2. Juvenile Convictions In general, a guilty verdict, ruling, or judgment in a juvenile court does not constitute a conviction for immigration purposes.[11] A conviction for a person who is under 18 years of age and who was charged as an adult constitutes a conviction for immigration purposes. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-f-chapter-2#2 https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/eoir/legacy/2014/07/25/3435.pdf -
We are working on something similar. We have already petitioned for my wife’s mom about this time last year. As soon as she arrives she will petition for her twelve year old son (he stays with an older sister for school now, so he won’t miss his mom too much). It is too bad that F2A is no longer current. We thought he’d be getting here a lot sooner 😔. We tried to get him here with an F1 twice and he was denied both times.

I think I would check other and write “real estate investment income - see schedule E.” I’m not sure that real estate is as liquid as they would want for assets. But if you were to try to use it, I would just include property tax assessments. For financial situations that are not the ordinary, it might be good to play it safe with a traditional w2 co-sponsor if there is someone you can ask. We qualified with assets, but the CO almost denied my wife because she misread my account statement. We had my parents as co-sponsors as back up.

I think this looks like a good list. As Lemonslice mentioned, wills, beneficiary documents for retirement accounts, health POAs would be great. If you do a free credit report for your husband, does your current address come up as an associated address for him? He might want to make sure his credit cards have been updated with your current address in addition to his ID.

You and your wife both have legal residency in Japan? -
Best way to start I-130 process
D-R-J replied to DavidOx's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Sorry, my last message has a typo. Should be “doesn’t seem to be a transfer.” I would think DCF might be a possibility. As always at the discretion of the embassy. -

This instance does seem to be a transfer within a company. Am I missing something? -
Allowed entry but parolled
D-R-J replied to NDmomof4's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
You could fly through Ireland and do pre-clearance if you don’t want to be worrying the whole flight over the Atlantic. -

D-R-J replied to NDmomof4's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
I would bring a print out of this: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2021-Dec/Reminder- LPR Boarding 20210305.pdf. People with expired 10 year green cards are to be boarded. -
Allowed entry but parolled
D-R-J replied to NDmomof4's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
It seems to me like you priority is getting back to the US. You can deal with whatever afterwards. I haven’t seen posts about people getting notices to appear and I’m guessing it’s extremely unlikely. They would be swamped with cases with people abroad due to COVID. I just doesn’t seem like it’d be a priority with the backlog in immigration cases. -
You mention savings in the title, but then say income in the body of your question. They are treated differently. He would need to have five times whatever shortfall there is in qualifying income. All of this is at the discretion of CO too. Many people meet the requirements and COs still ask for another/different co-sponsor. For example, the CO might think your future FIL might need those assets to support himself now that he is no longer working. In general, there seems to be a preference for income over assets, as assets run out whereas income is theoretically ongoing.

If he has an unexpired green card, then I would board a plane and come back to the US. I’m assuming children are citizens or also have unexpired green cards. -
I would probably make a copy of the letter, one to keep for your records and one to send in.

The document reciprocity site seems to indicate that a solution would be to do an ordinance marriage and have “married under customary law” under the condition section. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Ghana.html

We are also applying for my wife’s mom and going through the same thing. I’d be interested to hear other people’s experiences. My wife’s parents are trying to register their customary marriage through the council (I think?).
