another vote for spouse visa

there is a blank page for explanations you quote the page and question # and note the reason "as deceased"

We all know they don't say age as they can't but too big an age difference triggers CO to look for a reason to deny

Complete instructions for consular processing for I 130

Please complete a timeline ID'ing bene's home country that helps answer your querys

all say refused till the CO decides to issue or deny a visa / the status for visa is really issued or denied (refused means "in limbo during AP"/ and some embassys are slow to update status so can remain saying refused even after you are notified of the outcome

of course it is worth it as the deduction for 2 is twice the amount and you could be eligible for higher refund if u do not owe current or past taxes/ we go not know your circumstances since 2019 IRS allows amend tax returns electronically for past 2 years 1040x is the form foreign income exclusion form is 2555 The maximum Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) was $120,000 for the 2023 tax year and increased to $126,500 for the 2024 tax year. These are the amounts that a qualifying U.S. citizen or resident alien living abroad could exclude from their U.S. federal income tax. you could have filed as MFJ in the appropiate years using IRS guides for nonresident alien spouse saving a lot of paperwork

`1. do not pass medical exam 2/ current or past drug use 3. security risk 4. large age difference (over 10 years if the USC woman is older) 5. bene has poor or little knowledge of USC 6. do not spend quality time together to know each other 7. bene could become public charge if USC income is too low 8. criminal history 9. failure to meet requirements for immigration 10. failure to attend immigration appointments 11. past overstays of a visa 12. fraudulent documents complete list is in following list of Ineligibilities and waivers laws that are listed by immigration https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/waivers.html

Congratulations of naturalization Doing the above you stated finishes it all

If brother feels pressure to marry , then he is not ready to commit to marriage at this time To AOS as the lawyer says is quite expensive and he would need to completely support her till she has the green card and that can take some considerable time. Being forced to marry under these circumstances would hardly make for a favorable union. He should let her visit till admit date on the I 94 and then the 2 can decide to continue with the relationship B2 visa and he a USC can make trips to meet and decide on their future without someone forcing it on them for "a huge attorney fee" If she returns as the admit date requires, the B2 will not be cancelled

yeah, a lot of money just to deport Overall Funding: Congress allocated a total of roughly $170 billion for immigration enforcement and border security efforts, with $75 billion specifically designated for ICE over the next four years, according to CBS News. This funding makes ICE the largest federal law enforcement agency. Detention: $45 billion is allocated for building new immigration detention centers, including facilities for families. This represents a 265% increase in ICE's detention budget, and could enable ICE to detain more than 100,000 individuals at any given time, essentially doubling its current capacity. Enforcement and Deportation Operations: Approximately $30 billion is allocated to ICE to track down, arrest, and deport immigrants. This portion of the budget allows for: Hiring an additional 10,000 deportation officers. Increasing the capacity for transportation and removal of non-citizens, including chartering deportation flights. Expanding agreements with state and local jurisdictions to assist with immigration enforcement. Modernizing ICE's fleet of deportation planes and hiring more agency prosecutors to handle deportation cases. It's important to note The additional funding represents a massive increase compared to previous years. The legislation allows for significant flexibility in how ICE allocates and utilizes these funds for immigration enforcement. The funding increase is expected to lead to a significant expansion of ICE's enforcement activities, including increased arrests and deportations.

Just saw that in NY Post and i think that job to look into 55 million is almost impossible but the reasons to jail and/or deport like criminal activity, terriorists and supporting terrorist organizations has always been the case

i agree

We have seen many K1 here on VJ that do work but maybe reasons they don't survive is ITS hard on the bene when he/she arrives as they can not work some have trouble getting SS # as they wait to long to apply some have trouble getting DL many get homesick and can not travel back home to see family Many are really too young to commit and understand what a marriage means -they are "in love" many rely on joint sponsor as income is low and if a couple thinks gross income of $21,500 for 2 is adequate, its not especially as that is gross not adjusted income Bene has no credit history or income to buy car and get around when they first arrive All the above makes the bene so dependent on the USC and that is hard to depend on someone for money, to drive bene around , to help adjust with new people and the big difference of food in the US and home country

Agree, Spouse visa stands better chance of approval showing actual committment to the union and has all the benefits of allowing bene to work, open checking accounts , driving license and so much more and is cheaper than going thru the AOS process after marriage in the USA and K1 is sometimes not any faster than CR1

Not true / its actually against our Bill of Rights in the 14th Amendment and later in 1964 in the Civil Rights act of 1964 AI Overview The Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed into law on July 2, 1964, outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin I am Muslim and got my visa and am now a US citizen what is needed for US visa to be married to US citizen is: 1. meeting in person within 2 years of filing for the visa 2. good quality time spent together so time spent together which can be several visits 3. approval of tunisan family thru photos of them with USC 4. all documents the visa requirement as needed 5. no huge age difference -like over 10 years 6. helpull to have same religion but not as important as it use to be 7. legal residence in country of interview incha yekbel

If interview was August 2024, you may need new I 864 and proof of current income (letter from employer and wage statements) and new criminal reports and interview / this has been a year since interview. compete a new I 864 with evidence of present income and send to embassy. you need to put the case $ , both names and both DOB's on the documents so it is seen by your CO and placed in your packet

this supposely has been in play since 1996 and about time , it is enforced https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-k-chapter-2 The case site "matter of Zhang" the person purchased a Nationality Certificate from a former immigration officer Here, the Immigration Judge found that the respondent falsely claimed United States citizenship after he unlawfully purchased a Certificate of Naturalization and used it to obtain a United States passport, which is clearly a “benefit” under the Act. Matter of Barcenas-Barrera, 25 I&N Dec. at 44. Moreover, the respondent used his illegally obtained passport to travel abroad and reenter the United States, which the Immigration Judge also found to be a benefit. it says person does not have to be claiming this under oath but using citizenship to gain things like employment, etc

You, the beneficiary , will not receive a notice of denial. USC , the petitioner, receives notices sounds like his divorce document was not an official divorce decree you can actually do a online search by typing his name into google to see if it shows as married/ if you know his SS# also that helps look info on him

denied for security reasons or in AP for additional security checks? What does CEAC say? https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx put in case number and check it will say refused if its for additional security checking / they all say Refused till visa is issued or denied so do not worry

According to timeline interview took place in August 2024 and is in AP Did CO say you needed joint sponsor?

He is a medical student Observation is for medical doctors https://fam.state.gov/fam/09fam/09fam040202.html (U) A medical doctor whose purpose for coming to the United States is to observe U.S. medical practices and consult with colleagues on latest techniques, if no remuneration is received from a U.S. source and no patient care is involved. Failure to pass the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) is irrelevant in such a case.

Never received one since 2009 USCIS doesn't deny a case / they return it for reasons like no signature, missing pages embassy is the one who denys and that would be posted on CEAC site USCIS would also send RFE for additional documents needed

you would petition for the J1 visa by following steps for that visa type The J-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa for individuals participating in educational and cultural exchange programs in the U.S., including those for training and internships

they are required to bring them to interview ALL DOCUMENTS submitted to CEAC (NVC site) that support the petition that is I 864 and IRS transcripts along with criminal reports \, etc https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html
