Hello! My husband is French and I am American. He wants to visit our new nephew who will be born in a couple weeks for about a month. He doesn't really have strong proof of ties to his country and we filed the I-130 a couple months ago. He doesn't have a lease or anything because he takes care of his mom at her house. She is old and needs the help especially since she recently recovered from cancer. His brother will help her during his travels. But he also only uses the train so he doesn't have a car. Trains in France are way more convenient where he lives and much more economical. He has is his bank account, a frail mother to get too, and the money he gives his family to help support them. He has friends he visits very regularly. But these aren't really strong ties? He will have a return ticket to, but it is required anyways. He would leave through Paris and arrive in Atlanta. Is there any chance he would be accepted to visit to meet his newborn nephew? If he is denied will our I-130 get canceled? Someone told me there is a 0% chance he will be accepted and they could cancel our I-130, he get deported and banned from entry for three years and it has me so scared to even try. What are the odds he could get in?

By any chance, can you link me to that mega thread? I am new here, just created my account today and I am so terribly bad at navigating.

Thanks!

Sure, I am new here how do I do that?

Yes it is true he would come to visit our nephew. I assume they will have on record our visa process and he would be coming to my address, the same address my brother and his girlfriend our at. We all live together.

I never heard of CBP pre clearance. I will look into it and yes he would come through CDG in Paris. I have left as a US citizen twice from Paris and never noticed anything like that so I am unsure. EDIT: It looks like pre clearance is just for Canada, Caribbean, Ireland, and Unite Arab Emirates.

Hello! I am (removed), a US citizen and my husband is (removed), a French citizen. We have submitted our i-130 about a month ago to start the process of him coming to live here. I heard it takes a long time so he wants to visit some in the mean time and I want to visit him too. Well, my nephew is about to be born in two weeks and we will be an Uncle and an Aunt! Yay! He wanted to come and visit during this time to meet Kai for about a month. But we are both really worried if he can or if it will affect our visa. We absolutely do not want to risk our visa getting canceled for any reason. He would visit using the VWP. The thing is, he doesn't really have strong ties. He doesn't own a car because trains are a much better option economically for him and his family. He lives with his mother right now because she was going through cancer and just recently beat it. He takes care of her with his brother and helps her financially but nothing is in his name. So he obviously has to go back to help his mother. He has a bank account and his own cell phone plan, and he has close friends he visits too. And he would have a return ticket too. I actually plan on going to France shortly after his visit to the US anyways, but I am not sure the CBP will care. What are other ties that others use that I might not be thinking of? We absolutely want to do things the right way because it is our future were talking about. We wouldn't ever want to risk that, especially since we have waited so long already. We dated through covid and couldn't ever see each other for the full duration of it. If anyone wants more information just ask and I will reply. Based on what I said here and any supplemental information gave, what would be best to do in our case?
