sounds good Congrats

It would appear so at first but reading the reduced USCIS page for N 400 fee reduction, USCIS would consider assets like value of your rental property from the person who filed the I 864 on behalf of N 400 petition https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/additional-information-on-filing-a-reduced-fee-request#Determining However, we will consider that person’s income or assets in deciding whether you are eligible for a reduced fee only if that person is currently a member of your household. that's from the site above they are also going to question how you can afford all the international travel you posted and need fee waiver

i am old enough to remember 2009 when they voted pay raise for themselves when we were in a depression/ this is my reference The Great Recession of 2007-2009 was the most severe economic downturn in the United States since the Great Depression of the 1930s

reading the article says these 2 countries are not the ones with the biggest overstays also does not say how the bond will be returned / apply and wait and wait??? why is congress not taking charge of immigration ? Seems the only thing that body can vote on is higher wages for themselves The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is the body of U.S. law that governs immigration and citizenship. It establishes the requirements for entering the country, obtaining citizenship, and the rights and responsibilities of immigrants. The INA is the primary source of immigration law in the United States.

not duty free In many contexts, "duty-free cars" refers to vehicles that can be imported without paying the usual import duties and taxes. This exemption often applies to specific situations, such as: Returning Residents: US citizens employed abroad or government employees returning from extended duty (usually 140 days or more) may be eligible to import a foreign-made car duty-free as part of their personal and household effects. Returning US-Manufactured Vehicles: Motor vehicles that were previously manufactured in the US and are returning to the country are generally duty-free. Classic or Antique Vehicles: Vehicles that are at least 25 years old can be imported into the United States without having to meet current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) pollution and safety requirements. Diplomats and other Special Cases: Some countries offer duty-free car purchases for diplomats and other eligible professionals, such as farmers, civil servants, teachers, doctors, and taxi drivers.

I 130 for children has to be separate petitions as there are no derivates of that type of petition and grandmother can not petition for F 12 So, how did grandmother petition? Is son in US? F12: Child of an alien classified as F11 or F16. This means an F12 visa is for the child of someone who is either an adult unmarried child of a U.S. citizen or a self-petitioned unmarried son or daughter of a U.S. citizen.

my thoughts too if it is for USC, the person can come back to US and have surgery here with family and friends support

the CR 1 can also be denied (our 1st one was and we had to appeal and reapply) You need to actually know what CO saw on computer and why denied the K1 Casa will not say age difference as that is age discrimination / the CO will come up with something he says to deny For us the CO said "i did not know what books wife read" and we had a long discussion of this in text messages with her trying to tell me and me saying "i never heard of Shakespeare and Mark Twain" so, i did see but didn't know these books You need to talk to the bene and find out what was asked and bene's impressions of the "turn around " when the passport was returned you also need to formally withdraw the K1 -letter to USCIS office will do that -case $, both names and both DOB's/ you can send this letter in with the new I 130 for spouse visa If you have to go to consummate the marriage from Utah zoom, why not marry there? Make sure Casa accepts (immigration does but how do the consummate the marriage?) Reason is Morocco does not accept it as legal meaning u can not stay in same room with him-not even to eat or a motel ,or person who rents an apartment as they are required to see marriage certificate A Utah Zoom marriage, legally performed via Utah's online marriage laws, is generally not recognized as valid in Morocco. While Utah recognizes online marriages, Morocco typically requires marriages to be performed in person or according to local religious and legal customs

Who is who as you refer to the bene as she and as He? She wants to spend the post-operative period in the US to avoid any risks, as her family and everyone who can provide her with personal support are there. And Because after the surgery, he really needs general health support, supplements, and family support, I cannot keep him in Turkey and has a US Doctor been asked to do the follow up? And will airline let the person fly?

Unfortunately this is so true but the age gap of over 10 years would be the real reason On the CO's computer he/she may have seen a remark from a superior that had previewed the petition and recommended the denial OR could have seen you spent little quality time together OR could have seen something on a media site In Moroc time spent together is so important showing Morocan family -especially the mother- approves is important Now you are faced with the issue to end or pursue a Moroccan marriage and CR1 visa the steps to marry in Moroc are outlined in the following site https://ma.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/marriage-in-morocco-2/ it requires quite a bit of travel inside moroc to marry an appointment 1st at Casa embassy to get avidavit to marry (cost about $100) then to translate all US documents (most expensive part of the process) then to Rabat to Office of foreign minister then to hometown to interview with police and judge and wait for permission to marry took us 3 weeks

congrats to u both Have a blessed life

the idea of attorney handling the process is mistaken They get information from you and one of their secretary's type up the petition ($3000 or more) and they mail in the packet and that's it any RFE, it will be extra money to mail it back -after u, again, provide the documents for the proof they do not attend the interview if u go to the word source above in the blue line , you will see many lawyer offices have made mistakes on the petition and caused delays in processing the K1 Best to you but you can do this and if you think not , also be prepared to pay attorney for the AOS expensive part of K1 Research the K1 process, its not that hard to fill out the K1 petition

what country (embassy) ? some are fully suspended including nonimmigrant and immigrant visas (f) After reviewing the report described in subsection (d) of this section, and after accounting for the foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives of the United States, I have determined to fully restrict and limit the entry of nationals of the following 12 countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. These restrictions distinguish between, but apply to both, the entry of immigrants and nonimmigrants. BUT some are only partial suspended Sec. 3. Partial Suspension of Entry for Nationals of Countries of Identified Concern Read thru the White House action to know how you are affected by the ban https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/restricting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-united-states-from-foreign-terrorists-and-other-national-security-and-public-safety-threats/

I only filed joint taxes for 2024. We married in 2022, and he moved here in December of 2023. Accountant said I couldn't file joint for 2023 because he wasn't in the US long enough. I filed married-separate for 22 and 23. Refile taxes with SS # 1040x /if not SS $ file W7 for ITN you could have filed for that at tax time (accountant was wrong) https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-spouse you, yourself , are ok without his name on house as Massachusetts is not a community property state but you will be bound to the I 864 the 2 of you could also do a POA for each other What about the health care insurance ?

i have never found a list that says where a particular I 129f is on the list 2nd quarter reports are listed for year to date stats this is what i do find All USCIS Application and Petition Form Types (Fiscal Year 2025, Quarter 2) (XLSX, 766.92 KB) Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) has 31,019 pending petitions at end date for 2nd quarter March 2025

Go over your copies and check that all is correct and up to date and check email to see if there is a notice there / maybe in junk mail you do have to wait for the paper to arrive as you have to send that copy in to with the RFE information keep copies of the request and all you submit you should mention the country as many times it is country specific and i have seen many ask for official record of birth

CO will look at household size the also have to consider where you live Alaska and Hawaii have higher poverty limits but also CO understands some US cities like NYC and Miami are much higher in housing costs They also compare income to a factor known as "income deeming" which is what your are looks at for judging means tested benefits Not a bad idea to secure joint sponsor as looks like your income fluctuates OR letter from employer stating the current yearly and current pay statements as some have found this helpful

Agree Covid was 5 years ago 21,22,23,24 and now 25 we can travel freely

BTW our age difference was over 10 years and a concern for immigration but yours is huge / it is normal in your country for a young woman to marry a man who could be age of grandfather or great grandfather Embassy considers the country's norms

your friend should join VJ to be able to give all info on the case and get the best answers

In answer to the section in bold print i have gone thru big age gap issue -and even meeting and spending a month with him and family , our K1 was denied' so, we married the next year In total i made 5 trips and spent 10 months (2 trips were 3 months each) and in all in it was 6 years from the I 129 to I 130 to get Adil's visa and both of us are in good health with the drs saying his cancer is inoperatible, and not even offering to remove the pancreas when a person can live without one, i would think his chances are low to make the trip to meet If he is a smoker , or has diabetes along with his age, his chances are even lower About all u can do is give emotional support from afar as chances of visa are low

it would have been stamped on visa as it looks like she interviewed prior to the 2 years USCIS should correct it to IR1 and issue 10 year green card as they have access to your documents and date of marriage of certificate

You can not transfer the case the interview has already taken place and it is undergoing AP for the ds 5535 all you can do is wait for this proceedure to complete its course

Airports are pretty good at knowing what countries the planes are coming from chicago i flew in from paris -my layover- and was asked if i needed to speak in French many Chinese also there and they had interpreters coming from China to our west coast i am sure you'll find she can interview at POE in her language if needed and help her relax -the horror stories are fed by media for the impact of scaring people when is the last time any reporters were seen to actual witness what they write if its not a sports figure or entertainer coming in to the country , the media is not around there is no little black rooms are airports ./ all personal interviews are done in rooms painted quite light colors as they are interior rooms with no windows

now becoming current is not current F4 is 8/sept/08 you need to become dq'd at NVC for case to be sent to whatever embassy u need it to be (if legal resident of the country) so, u are not yet ready for any actions
