Listen - I just got out of an abusive marriage and I know, the shelters are horrendous, I was there I know.  I understand.  If you have his approval to take the child, come stay with me in Tampa till you can sort things.  My kids 18, 14 love babies like I do and we won't complain about his crying. 

I do have cancer but am okay for now and just moving to a house from my apartment.  We will have an extra room - can buy a mattress or something.  Don't put up with abuse.

Please feel free to PM me.

up... 

They revoked that statement and its completely untrue.  I know loads and loads and loads of asymptomatic people tested positive.  I can't write full details write now, but will later.

I don't think this is clearly spelled out anywhere.

Kids dad (my ex-husband) wishes to visit the kids (below 21).  Kids and I are LPRs.  Their dad has a B1/B2.  I have recently been diagnosed with late stage cancer and he is visiting to help with paper work, wills and the like.  

He will not be transiting nor has he visited any of the countries on the 'list' such as Schengen, China, Iran etc....

The airline in Dubai thinks he can't go on a B1/B2 visa.  The return flight to Dubai he needs to get an approval for in advance, which is fine as he understands he will have to quarantine for 14 days on return to Dubai and he has got approval from his office to work from home on return for 14 days.

The part not clear is if he can enter the US and what are quarantine rules if he is indeed allowed.

He has visited the US several times in the past.

I sent my package end May and it took a while for them to receive strangely (must be all the happenings), but finally received as per UPS tracking.

Mine went with an expedite request given health situation.

Hey - Just to reiterate - do not send wife out of country, unless you want to start a long process all over.

Yes, you can apply under the 3 year rule due to the abuse waiver (a divorce waiver alone does not allow this).

 

Just a note: stage 4 and terminal cancer represent 2 different things. One can exist without the other.

The reason why I note this is that stage 4 cancer alone probably won't qualify (it's a condition, possibly curable and possible not), whereas a terminal dx presents an urgency. The urgency is what would necessitate an expedite.

Stage 4 of any cancer is terminal - some may live for 1- 15 years even.  Last week, 3 women in my group who were doing quiet well tell 1-3 months ago passed away, it can turn at any time and mets to new places.

A terminal illness where the person is expected to pass within 6 months is a life insurance technicality often before a payout can be made before the person actually passes....got my payout...

For stage IV breast, it is not curable, but treatable.  Stage IV means it has spread to distant sites, like the bones and lungs. However, it can become a chronic illness that a person can live with for 10-15 years, especially with the advent of targeted therapies, like Trastuzumab, which targets the HER2-NEU over expression in the cells.  I personally have several patients who have been on Trastuzumab for 15 years. ❤️

Thank you for the hope,  Guessing you are an Onco.  

I hope to live long enough for my kids to be independent.  Its scary though - right now awaiting several more tests.

I don't think you're qualify under 3 year rule.

Abuse Waivers qualify for 3 year rule - divorce or no divorce

Thanks guys I was actually checking for expedite process of citizenship   Found it.

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-i-ask-uscis-to-make-a-quick-decision-on-my-citizenship-application.html

Hello all.  I got approved for my conditions removal under Abuse and Divorce Waiver.  Accordingly, I can apply under the 3 year rule.

Unfortunately for me, I have been diagnosed with 4th stage (terminal) breast cancer.  I wish to apply for citizenship immediately so my younger daughter can get her citizenship and well so I can die a citizen... 

I know there's an expedite for certain cases that may include terminal applicants.  I simply can't find that information again on USCIS page.  It must be my heavy medications and chemo.  Does anyone know where that information is?  Am going to type a letter for it, but can't remember if it required a certain form etc.

First off congrats on your approval! And its great that you are no longer in a toxic relationship. It is concerning that you still feel he is/was not an 'abuser'; you mentioned not having therapy statements so Im not sure if you ever went to therapy or not. If you havent I would strongly encourage you to do so! Therapy is covered by all insurance plans and should only cost you a min co-pay... Often people in abusive relationships leave them and end up in another abusive relationship. I do not want to see that happen to you...

 

Anyway, from my understanding there is nothing on the GC or letter stating what waiver type (if any) the ROC was approved with. It is in their internal files however. But basically if you file under divorce+abuse waiver they need to approve you for divorce+abuse waiver. If you file under divorce only and are approved you were approved under divorce only etc etc... They can not change the waiver type on you / add a waiver type/ remove a waiver type w/o you filling out a new 751 or signing something for the change. Make sense? So unless at the interview you were told you didnt qualify for abuse and were given the option to withdraw the abuse waiver part and remain on a divorce only waiver its pretty safe to assume you were approved for what you filed (divorce+abuse). If you plan on filing for n400 at 3yr mark you will need to file on paper (dont use online system its not set up for 3yr abuse ROCs) and theres a memo that has been linked in the VAWA thread explaining how abuse ROC/VAWA GC holders can apply at 3yrs. Many people include this memo with their filing as often they are returned marked not eligible when they are. Use search or google to find the memo and include it when you file. 

 

I realized there was a separate mail sent with category approved and yes I did get an abuse waiver

Thank you so much for this.

I. might be terminally ill - so yes looking at filing under 3 year rule - so at least my daughter can get her citizenship before I pass...Thank you so much.  

Life changes in a moment - one moment I was happy that everything has come together and life was going to restart and on the day of my interview got my terrible diagnoses confirmation.

So I filed abuse and divorce waiver. My interview was short and lovely.  I am not in good health and didn't ask which waiver was approved.  My green card is in mail.  I am unable to check my mailbox... am seriously ill.  Will the letter along with green cards state how the green cards were approved?

and PS - anyone looking for help on abuse waivers please write to me, did it myself, didn't have therapists statements, the truth is what matters...and presenting as much evidence as we have.   if I am alive and able to respond I will.  I was honest to the point that I love him to the end of the world and don't think he is an abuser but was extremely abusive.

Also, our case never updated online when case was ready for interview or scheduled for interview...now straight away went to approved and card mailed.

Going for my interview now.  Its one with two waivers and although I was never nervous about the truth - I have had a massive possibly terminal health issue come up suddenly in less than a week and don't have the photographs they requested for. Hoping they understand and allow for it to be sent in a day or two.  Hope my waivers get accepted, I have kids.

Had my interview was a complete breeze.  They understand I believe my truth that I love him and he was extremely abusive but not an abuser.  We are allowed to speak out truth.  I didn't use a lawyer.  my case was approved, I still don/t know it abuse waiver was accepted or divorce waiver.

The lady doing the interview was Amazing and I have got messages that my card and my kids card is in the mail.  Unfortunately I have been in hospital since and didn't pick it up yet.

Any abuser waivers can feel free to write to me and I will reply if I can and am still around (possibly terminal - fighter in me not letting that be true)

Anybody in your situation really should have sponsored earlier.  If he landed before 18 he would be automatically US citizen wouldn't he?

OP ,  as beneficiary, asked 
How to fix this?

There is no fix

the CO (embassy) says a joint sponsor will not remedy the situation

Only the USC can change the factors

1. dad needs a nursing home

2  she needs a job (or 2 ) that fits the needed income levels

3  she would have to reapply 

4  OP needs to know the state (city) she lives in to know the work that would be available to him

While you wait for the 2 years for all this to happen,  continue with your education 

 

What did you say when the CO asked what you intended to do in the USA?  you were going to help her take care of her dad

His dad has Parkinson's - not hers

Thank you so much.  In my case it didn't work as my case in locked up with some confidentiality thing due to waivers,..but yes it does work and is cool for others to use.

Please let me know how to go about asking her... because on the phone they just read out what the system is saying...

I had been in the same situation, in my case I couldn’t even check the status of the case. I think it’s because the officer reviewing your case has backlog or it’s a system glitch, it hasn’t been updated online but it’s actually ready to be scheduled for an interview. The easiest way to find out is to contact over chat via Emma

You will have to wait.  We've been waiting 8 months since being "ready to be scheduled for interview".

I understand that...just don't know why its not 'ready to schedule interview' yet.

They are protecting the US citizen for sure.  They see OP is not working, the marriage either never real or unlikely to last given the massive age gap, esp as the woman is older in terms of what is norm of the world (man wanting to have kids and more).


Getting more sponsors doesn't resolve the case - because they don't want to unnecessarily burden US citizens.  OP is needed to look after his father as per him so how is he planning to move to the US anyway...  

Too many red flags
 

So mine was sent direct to MSC (National Benefits Centre).... its been over a 100 days now since Fingerprint review completed and case not ready for interview.  I noticed most cases are ready in about 60 days.

Are we to follow up or I just wait patiently.  guessing mine is more complex with both waivers ticked and applied for.

Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview

As of September 18, 2019, we are ready to schedule your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number SRC199XXXXX, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

Edit

This is on the old site. The new site still says case transferred. I actually refreshed the USCIS app and noticed the status change.

Interesting but your case seems to have got transferred ...so I guess that timeline doesn't apply to those of us who started with NBC....  it seems we are on about two months from biometrics date.
