Redro

I’m so sorry you are going through this long drawn out situation. Do you still want your fiancé to come to the U.S? How do you want to move forward? We can help you decide the best course of action if you tell us what your end goal is?

Does she have documentation of her sobriety?

If the file size is small enough one pdf should be fine. (Doesn’t exceed the upload limit) We found all our documentation for intent to re establish domicile was too large to upload as one pdf so we uploaded the letter of intent to re establish domicile listing all the proof. Then posted each type of proof separately.

No worries. I usually quote a post so people understand what I’m referring to… and I totally understand why you misunderstood my response…. I’ll be more specific and not use the very vague YOU… Other questions they may ask: How long has the person you are visiting lived in America? When did they move to America? Are they American born or did they naturalize or are they LPRs?

If you are planning to be outside the US for more than 1 year. I recommend having your wife file the I407. Most people who relinquish their LPR status are able to travel to the US via ESTA or the tourist visa. As you are undecided about where you might live in the future. It seems counterproductive to add stress to your situation by trying to maintain her status in the US when she can re-apply for it IF you both decide living in the US is better than living in Australia.

The CO might also phrase the question like this: Q: Where will you be living when you move to the US? Answer: With my wife. (optional: She recently moved to 1234) Q: Where does she live? Answer: She just moved. She used to live at ABC now she has moved to 1234. If there is some evidence of the move. You can take it. You also want to update the address and keep it on hand at interview and when you enter the US because this is where they will send your green card - especially

Good question. Usually applicants rebook their own appointments after they miss it. In this case, hopefully you are in a different lane to first time interviews and will receive an appointment in a shorter time frame,

Spouse is allowed to stay in the US. They are still an LPR. The extension letter of 48 months is the document that shows she has status and it allows her work and travel outside the US.

Basic questions: who are they? how do you know them? how did they meet your parent?

Calling @Family I believe she might be able to advise on how to move forward with adoption. @DoubleK DCF is not offered in every country. DCF now is also only if there are exceptional circumstances - and some embassies do not always take on "job offer" as a reason to DCF if the consulate is overwhelmed with cases. Before you start, I would write to the Ghana consulate to see if they accept DCF filing with exceptional circumstances. If not- you will want to probably file for your husband ASAP. Ghana is currently taking about 3 years from filing to interview. Not sure if you are allowed to file for your child now. But, I would consult with an American immigration lawyer to help you make sure you can move with your child to the US. And the best time to file for the child.

Those are the questions they’ll probably ask your wife’s daughter and son-in-law

Who are you visiting? why? how long have you known them? what are your plans?

Also tell her the 346 days is not quite accurate. I've seen people manage to obtain interviews before the stated date on the website and also a long time after. If it is currently 346 days there might not be any visa interview dates to choose from but she can check the website once a day in case someone cancels their interview and a slot opens up.

A waiver is essentially an expedite request already... I think you should submit as soon as you have all the paperwork sorted. Good luck! Hopefully, processing times will speed up.

This is excellent news! And very encouraging for others who interview in countries where they have no status. Thank you for updating us! And I’m happy you didn’t have to return to your country. Happy travels to the US!

If you want this topic closed so no one else chimes in. You can report the comment and request they close it.

Thank you for the clarification. I thought the fact they were not household members was sufficient explanation for why the I864a should not be filed. I try not to add extraneous information to a question.

ETA: We didn't consider the order because we assumed the officer might just click on things in the order they think makes sense. We just made sure to title everything so it was easy to understand without opening the file.

Most people do not have land line numbers these days. If you don't have to enter BOTH numbers I would only enter one in the correct place.

One thing I have been seeing is tourists who arrive to the US and then adjust discover their family members are refused tourist visas when they want to visit. So, not only would your husband be committing visa fraud, he would compromising his family's ability to visit in the future. Immigrating to the US takes a long time but one also needs to look at the long term plan and goals.

Unfortunately this is not true. Each embassy works differently. This is why you should be a good VJ member and help @Akin Michael and others from Nigeria know what to expect from a second interview. Don’t just say “it is easy”. Help us understand what will happen in a second interview.

Are you sure you don't have to present the SSN card to the DMV? If you are sure. Go to SSA on Monday and explain your situation. They might be able to help you out. Also, I would double check about the requirements for new residents who've moved from another country and have not yet been furnished with an SSN. The rules in Michigan differ for new residents arriving from a different state and new residents arriving from another country. E.G. I was told I had to wait 30 days before I could apply a DL. To explain further: new residents from another state (and Canada) are allowed to exchange their state licenses to Michigan licenses as soon as they have proof of residency. New residents arriving from another country have to wait 30 days before they can apply for a license. I would call the DMV tomorrow and double check the rules about 1.) new residents from another country and 2.) if it is 10 business days or 10 calendar days.

It is 3 times the difference if the beneficiary is the spouse of a USC. If OP is qualifying with savings and has over $70K (and there are only 2 people in the family) that should be sufficient.

I received my SSN 2 weeks after I entered the U.S. I wouldn’t worry about missing the deadline of 10 days because you can’t get the DL with SSN. A good reason. I’m confused about your dates though… you applied for the SSN 20 days before you arrived on CR1? Did you apply for the number while on ESTA?
