K1 vs CR1
JeanneAdil replied to Clintcizek's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
Neither is fast/ u are looking at 18 months or longer if all goes well American woman ? Turkish man? Muslim? Read the red flag warning list on following site https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/red-flags-that-make-uscis-suspect-marriage-fraud.html I think always better to marry (my opinion only) as K1 can be denied after long long wait and then you must marry to continue for a visa / that requires all new fees Be prepared to show quality face time and that the Turkish family approves of relationship (like photos of USC and the fiance's family) -
Ties to home country should be sent in with the petition for the tourist visa when my MIL first applied we did not know that and she was handed denial paper in English on one side and her language on the other/ the date was the day before the interview. look at his paper to see date of denial. Ties are owning property bank account money to afford the trip in this case university registration and proof of money invested for return to school CO will assume he will come and adjust to stay in USA /it would be a long wait , i know , if you did adjustment but CO knows he can marry here and adjust thru marriage . that is the thinking of embassy when single men and women apply

His deportation order was challenged by Columbia and they reached agreement to accept deportations BUT Trump had to agree put sanctions on hold I hold say Columbia won We have a Republican Congress which can change immigration laws so any USC or LPR should write to their representative to voice an opinion as Trump does not care about getting elected now but congress officials do Right to contact a representative: As a constituent, an LPR has the right to reach out to their congressman to discuss concerns

US Embassy in Colombia (Merged)
JeanneAdil replied to MikeyGT's topic in Mexico, Latin & South America
that was reported by a Columbian reported In response to President Petro’s refusal to accept two deportation flights, which he had previously approved at the highest instances of government, the US Embassy in Colombia will close its visa section starting January 27. Additional retaliatory measures will follow,” the journalist tweeted. While no official confirmation has been issued by the US State Department, the visa suspension marks a significant blow to bilateral relations. the embassy site will put that info on its list of alerts if it happens and then believe it and with Trump it could happen as he is anti so many of immigration policies -
US Embassy in Colombia (Merged)
JeanneAdil replied to MikeyGT's topic in Mexico, Latin & South America
1st 1 hour ago — President Gustavo Petro said Colombia would welcome home deported migrants on civilian planes, saying they should be treated with dignity ../ he did not like them deported on military planes and refused them https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/05/colombia-cancels-us-deportation-flights-mistreatment-migrants he does not like these persons treated as criminals but he responded to these deportations in May 2023 also so there should not be a panic embassy did not close then if US would, perhaps close the embassy , you would interview in another country -

the USC needs to file US tax returns she would file as M as she is not single she can use form 2555 to exclude the income limits (see the amounts for each year worked outside the US still she will need joint sponsor as her foreign income will not count for immigration you need these tax returns for the NVC stage and interview https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/us-citizens-and-resident-a If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. You are subject to tax on worldwide income from all sources and must report all taxable income and pay taxes according to the Internal Revenue Code. -
i would make an appointment at nearest US office and show them and ask for new I 551 stamp airport security seeing wrong sex listed may think you forged the green card and seize it in US-maybe not if they check the computer system but foreign security can't check US and you would be taken a chance by traveling international for US travel , use real ID on driving license while u wait for the new green card and do make a proposal to ask them to rush the new card

it is not a requirement of the petition but many a CO will ask when petitioner income is questionable . Seniors on SSA sometimes need to prove they have researched health care for a K1 as they can not add a spouse to medicare These are very young people and it would be a good idea for the petitioner to be prepared for any and all objections the CO would have at the interview. it doesn't hurt to know and have the information for the CO

overstayed visa (merged)
JeanneAdil replied to caregiver4ever's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You can marry but doing AOS for crew members is not allowed WHY Because of rule INA 1255 section C Understand marriage and him returning to Moroc to interview for I 130, he can be denied as it looks like CO will say he Lied (misrepresented ) himself on the petition for the C1/D visa / Casa embassy is not going to look favoribly on what he did. INA 1255 c c) Alien crewmen, aliens continuing or accepting unauthorized employment, and aliens admitted in transit without visa Other than an alien having an approved petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner, subsection (a) shall not be applicable to (1) an alien crewman; (2) subject to subsection (k), an alien (other than an immediate relative as defined in section 1151(b) of this title or a special immigrant described in section 1101(a)(27)(H), (I), (J), or (K) of this title) who hereafter continues in or accepts unauthorized employment prior to filing an application for adjustment of status or who is in unlawful immigration status on the date of filing the application for adjustment of status or who has failed (other than through no fault of his own or for technical reasons) to maintain continuously a lawful status since entry into the United States; (3) any alien admitted in transit without visa under section 1182(d)(4)(C) of this title; (4) an alien (other than an immediate relative as defined in section 1151(b) of this title) who was admitted as a nonimmigrant visitor without a visa under section 1182(l) of this title or section 1187 of this title; (5) an alien who was admitted as a nonimmigrant described in section 1101(a)(15)(S) of this title,1 (6) an alien who is deportable under section 1227(a)(4)(B) of this title; (7) any alien who seeks adjustment of status to that of an immigrant under section 1153(b) of this title and is not in a lawful nonimmigrant status; or (8) any alien who was employed while the alien was an unauthorized alien, as defined in section 1324a(h)(3) of this title, or who has otherwise violated the terms of a nonimmigrant visa.' reason is as Attorney Allan Lolly PC says Limitation on Change of Status Entering the US on a crew member visa generally prevents you from changing your immigration status to another visa status. It also generally prevents you from obtaining a green card, working legally, or pursuing any other immigration benefit. Were it otherwise, many crew members would jump ship and remain in the U.S., thereby shutting down the travel industry. So, congress puts serious restrictions on the C1-D crewman visa to discourage anyone from doing anything other than work as a crew member while in the US. Exceptions can include a claim under asylum, the Violence Against Women’s Act, or perhaps a U or T visa for crime victims. -

Tax Season. Confused
JeanneAdil replied to RetroPeach12's topic in Tax & Finances During US Immigration
page 13 of 1040 instructions You and your spouse can also choose to file as U.S. residents for the entire year if both of you are U.S. citizens or residents at the end of the year and either (or both) of you were a nonresident at the beginning of the year (the dual-status spouse(s)). You can only make this choice for 1 year, and it does not apply to any future years. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf even if u were nonresident alien you can file MFJ when married by end of December the change IRS made on this is the following section which only allows a USC to claim nonresident alien spouse for 1 year (if the spouse is still out of the US) u are here so that section is not for u but it is for those who will need to file MFS if spouse is not here after the 1st year of filing as married/this affects those of us who wait years to get spouse here .in the past we were able to claim spouse (if an alien ) for all years- 16 replies

Crewmember Visa Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Crewmember (D) visas are nonimmigrant visas for persons working onboard commercial sea vessels or international airlines in the United States, providing services required for normal operation and intending to depart the United States on the same vessel or any other vessel within 29 days. https://www.uscis.gov/visit-the-united-states/change-my-nonimmigrant-status You may not apply to change your nonimmigrant status if you were admitted to the United States in the following categories (unless you are applying for T nonimmigrant status or petitioning for U nonimmigrant status): Visa Waiver Program Crew member (D nonimmigrant visa) In transit through the United States (C nonimmigrant visa) -

What is the processing time if you filed I-130 online?
JeanneAdil replied to mnelove97's topic in Tourist Visas
To find out which USCIS processing office is handling your petition after filing online, check the "receipt notice" you receive after submitting your application; the first few letters of the 13-character receipt number will identify the USCIS service center processing your case. processing time depends on to many factors like number of petitions received, petitions still in processing office, country and embassy, all documents needed received and/if RFE needed -
