  1. Sounds like he wants to fleece you for money. If this were an actual thing, I’m sure it would be well known and tried by everyone who overstayed. I’m sorry but you do not have a path to a legal status in your situation as of now. When your US citizen child turns 21, they can sponsor you and you can adjust status in the US and the 10 year ban will be forgiven as you are an immediate relative of a US Citizen. If you leave the US at any point you will have to serve the 10 year ban first. A US citizen child will not be able to file a waiver or do anything about it, you will have to serve out the full ban.
  2. How exactly are you planning to recover your status at the moment? I don’t see how that’s remotely possible.
  3. It’s not possible to change from a tourist visa to a student visa if you violated the terms of said tourist visa which you did by overstaying. You also have a 10 year ban.
  4. I guess it depends on where you live (by the border/a lot of CBP/ICE presence). I just carry copies on my phone.
  5. Overstay is forgiven for immediate relatives of US citizens so no issues there from USCIS standpoint.
  6. Hijack post removed. If you have a question about your own case, please start a thread. VJ Moderation
  7. *** Thread moved from Bringing Family members of US citizens to America forum (consular processing) to AOS work/student/tourist visas - this is an adjustment of status case *** They will not get biometrics with I-130, it’s the I-485. I-485 should have been filed at the same time as I-130. You can still apply and include NOA1 of I-130 with it, do it ASAP as they’re now out of status and subject to deportation. Filing I-485 gives them authorized stay until decision is reached.
  8. More information is needed. Is this a spousal petition? Are you a permanent resident or US citizen?
  9. *** Thread moved from K1 forum to Removal of Conditions forum as that’s what the question is about *** Financial sponsorship is not a part of ROC.
  10. Not important unless it’s something illegal. They won’t request tax slips, it’s solely about the petitioner’s finances.
  11. Four threads on wait time/timeline merged together. Please keep ALL further updates and questions in this thread only. VJ Moderation
  12. *** Thread moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures *** At my interview I was explicitly asked when was the last time I saw my significant other. It was during COVID time when lockdowns were everywhere too. They do not care about that, or being in med school or jobs giving little time off, long DQ dates, etc.
  13. If it’s primary residence, then it might not satisfy them. And even if it’s not a primary residence, USCIS has the final authority to determine if what you provide is satisfactory even if it is allowed or meets the minimum criteria. So if you want to avoid a denial, find a joint sponsor or your spouse will have to find a higher paying job or a second job.
  14. Tourist visas are not for family reunification or living in the US. She’s been here for months, that’s much more than what any average tourist takes off for vacation.
  15. *** Thread moved from K1 forum Progress Reports to Tourist Visas forum as the question is about visiting ***

  17. No as it’s a completely different form for AOS - I-864. Notice of approval
  18. Agreed, if you’re including transcripts, no need for the full tax returns.
  19. Only immediate relatives of US citizens (spouses, parents and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to adjust status as there are no restrictions to visa number available (no cap) as opposed to any other family preference categories. Those are numerically limited per year which created a huge backlog as you can imagine and you can see that in the visa bulletin linked above. You’re not an immediate relative so you can’t adjust status. Furthermore, overstay is only forgiven for immediate relatives so if you end up overstaying you will have to serve a ban overseas (3 or 10 years depending on the length of the overstay).
  20. Verbal approvals don’t hold any weight unfortunately. Yes, it is normal for it to take time as all applications have to go through administrative processing but some take longer than others and there is no standard timeline.
  21. I highly doubt they will approve based on the reasons you provided. The risk of losing the visa annd any future visiting privileges is too great in my opinion.
  22. 15+ years at least No
