designguy got a reaction from OldUser in Parents I-130 Not Approved Together
Petitions are adjudicated by humans. Humans move at different speeds from one another. It’s very reasonable that two petitions sent at the same time will be reviewed at different times there is no need to worry

designguy got a reaction from Frank Zander in EB3 Germany waiting time
I did EB3 consular processing in Germany in 2019. My I-140 was approved in May and my interview was eventually scheduled in September for mid October.

designguy got a reaction from igoyougoduke in EB-2 NIW
Which one is it?
Are you saying you entered on the B2 visa with the intention to stay in the US and find a job?
Its clear that you don't meet the NIW requirements so there is no point in trying again in the short term.
Even if you find a job the timeline will not allow you to stay in the us on a b2. You will not be able to adjust status if you are out of status so you should plan to leave before that happens.

designguy got a reaction from Tanveer_Kapoor in employment based green card for canadian citizens
There is no judgement I am simply stating that if you are currently in the US and now submitting an application there is no way that it will be approved on your current stay which would allow you to adjust. Therefore you would have to leave the country and then go through consular processing as returning again with the intent to adjust would be fraud. The wait times in canada for consular are quite significant

You can not enter the US with the intention of adjusting status. You will need to go through consular processing

designguy got a reaction from OldUser in employment based green card for canadian citizens
Even if you have an employer ready to sponsor you, there is no way you will get an I-140 approved and be able to adjust status in time if you are currently in the US. You will need to leave while the application is processing. If you overstay then you will not be able to adjust status

designguy got a reaction from Nyla J in Cannabis
Sorry this is incorrect
Trying a drug once does not require a waiver. Unless there is a criminal record involved, the drug use is evaluated by the panel physician. It will be up to them to determine if drug testing is needed or not. There are plenty people here who had tried marijuana once and were not required to undergo drug testing or received a ban
OP he should not "mention" anything, only truthfully respond to the questions asked.

You dont submit any documents. There is nothing you can submit that will help their case. They need to show strong ties to Nigeria.

designguy got a reaction from D Ryan in O1 visa help DIY
O1 petition can be done DIY but results are generally much more successful with a lawyer. Anyone charging you $49.99 is not offering you a service that you couldnt do yourselft. Save your money

designguy got a reaction from PaulaCJohnny in K-1 qualification waiver
No the waiver qualifications are extremely limited. Covid 19 is not one of them
-
designguy got a reaction from Tomaso11 in Finding an appropriate work visa
Quickest would be to premium process an O1. Get a good lawyer and see if you can qualify (unlikely but if money doesnt matter then you might as well try). My EB3 took 2 years pre covid.

designguy reacted to aaron2020 in F1 visa with a partner (u.s citizen) living in the u.s
Now, it's obvious that you are shopping for a way to be with your girlfriend. Whatever schooling that will get you a F1 visa to spend more time with her.
Good luck.

designguy reacted to JFH in What can I do?
Have you been sending child support to your child since you learnt of her existence?
What does the child think of all this? She’s probably never met you. At 15 she will have established friendships and developed bonds with people in her family and neighborhood. This isn’t an abandoned puppy you can just take home from a shelter and call it your own.

designguy reacted to payxibka in Circumstances of meeting
Do the instructions say handwritten only?
As an aside, if your circumstances of meeting response is in excess of the space provided on the petition, rethink your response

designguy reacted to Crazy Cat in Beginning the process - K1 or spousal?
A CR-1 would be a better choice, imho. You are both already together. You can marry now and start the CR-1 process. You can have a marriage celebration with family in 1 to 2 years.
Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation.
K-1
More expensive than CR-1
Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)
Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 5-6 months)
Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 5-6 months)
Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period
Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.
A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire
CR-1
Less expensive than K-1
No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765, I-944) required.
Spouse can immediately travel outside the US
Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival.
Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US
Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport.
Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.

designguy got a reaction from Dutchster in What are our US Visa options?
The K1 visa requires you to sign an agreement that states you WILL get married. The K1 is not intended to test out a relationship
