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

Takes time and money to marry too and you will need the divorce degree to marry in moroc (with translation if not done in English for the new CR1) why do they want this? Because in Moroc , you can have more than 1 wife (if 1st wife ok's this and you can afford it) but its not legal in the USA and in texas it is as follows" Bigamy, or having more than one legal spouse, is a felony offense in Texas, specifically a third-degree felony.

why would u not think the addavit of support an fiancial evidence is not needed when it clearly says ALL supporting documents uploaded to CEAC? IRS tax transcripts will tell parents if you are married or not whether u submit them as filing joint or separate / they require name and SS of partner Supporting Documents – original or certified copies of all civil documents you uploaded into CEAC.

applicants who are not fluent in English are permitted to bring an interpreter with them to the interview. The interpreter does not have to be certified, but they do need to be fluent in both languages. Additionally, the sponsoring USC cannot be the interpreter. The government requires interpreters to take an oath and sign a note during the interview. Meantime , he should practice leaning English as it is the main US language although many here speak Spanish.

it is important to answer the questions raised by the others to get good information What was the drug? Did you spent time in jail? Did the dr ask if u ever used drugs and did you answer truthfully? Congressman cannot help getting the visa / only the CO at interview can issue a visa and that person needs to complete AP before a decision is made

what country/embassy will the interview take place? What is the native language of that country? and if working there, he probably speaks the language, right?

do not need SS # to file joint taxes the USC does MFJ and follows the IRS instructions for getting ITIN (form W7) ITIN is assigned and used till i got my SS# / My wife filed this way for each year i was still not in USA https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-aliens

Plane to come to US? if so, even if interview was on the 19th, visa would not be ready by the 22nd

most do not give out the sealed envelope anymore as it is all on computer for CBP Overseas duty N 400 is for military duty To apply for citizenship as a member of the U.S. military serving overseas, you will file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, with USCIS.

The INA requires that, with limited exceptions, all aliens 14 years of age or older who were not registered and fingerprinted (if required) when applying for a U.S. visa and who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer, must apply for registration and fingerprinting Once an alien has registered and appeared for fingerprinting (unless waived), DHS will issue evidence of registration, which aliens over the age of 18 must carry and keep in their personal possession at all times. B2 he would be fingerprinted ESTA not fingerprinted so needs to register I 94 at border needs to register https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration#:~:text=The INA requires that%2C with,apply for registration and fingerprinting. AI says canadians do not need to register but i can not find that on CBP or USCIS sites so ask at border

Ours was marked IR 1 by embassy and bene can politely ask at interview "is this now a IR1 visa?" always best to ask , rather than tell them what to do

If husband did CR1/ IR1 (you married to come) you do not need to do this you would pay the green card processing fee If you came here on other visa and stayed, this is not CR1/IR1 case this is AOS to stay GOOD immigration attorney is needed

but identify as Iranian???

He is L1 b nonimmigrant he asked about Iran in his post so i assume he is using Iranian passport

you will be in AP for extended security checks while the CO reviews the documents and your medical exam to see if any drug issues are raised by the physician. this can take days, weeks or months I would guess CO wants to know what drug "influence of drugs" involved so they may need to contact the court. Did you serve time in Jail? I am familiar with Moroc courts and others here should know that in Moroc, there is not a trial with testimony, and witnesses but when a person is accused of a crime , a judge decides jail and time in jail / and is often payed under the table to lessen the jail time except for major crimes like murder. those crimes are life sentences automatically. you may be asked later to respond with additional documents and/or the passport usually this is done thru Aramex CEAC site will say refused till the CO makes the decision to issue visa or refuse Denied the case would be returned to USA with a NOIR (notice of intent to revoke ) or NOID (notice of intent to deny) the USC would be receive notice about 6 months from date of interview. https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

this 1st CPA just did taxes from your files OP? or the CPA was the one who handled assets and liabilities? the accounts received and payable In 1st case, you are the only one responsible in providing info to CPA 2nd case, the CPA really messed up Have you thought to use a good tax lawyer instead of CPA?

any red flags to the case ? 1. age difference of over 10 years 2. woman not of child bearing age as its important to Moroccan family 3. difference of religions -not sure this is as important as it once was -we are 2 different religions 4. difference in education 5. family approval is important especially Morccan mother 6. time spent together is important -must be quality not just 1 quick visit to meet 7. Morccan must know every little and big thing about the USC (they may ask and may not as this very much depends on initial evidence sent in with petition 8. at interview good if questioning is short and passpost is kept 9. all go thru AP -sometimes just the time to print and add visa to passport /other times needs additional screening which can be based on social media used, etc 10. CEAC site will say refused till it goes to issued or denied so not to worry if u see Refused at first Incha yekbel best to you both

plan B get treatment in Moroc as its covered even if poor or get it done thru the bilateral agreement with 'Bilateral agreement Moroc has with several countries in europe

If the combo card was offically stopped in july , will it affect those who already applied for one prior to July or stopped all together for everyone? just wondering how USCIS does changes and why the lawyer didn't know whether she consulted one before or after the incident. Immigration lawyers should keep up with these changes

going to assume you married and added wife and child (perhaps the stepchildren too) to health care policy here in the USA or you wouldn't be asking. you need to know deductibles for treatments of any kind you also should ask human resources if you can pay in Moroc for one of the private hospitals and be reimbursed by your plan also understand that wife must list all her children on the ds 160 petition and CO will not like her leaving 2 children there as moroc government does not like that to happen
