    Really the only one you need is the official step by step guide - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html And then VJ for any questions along the way. Best of luck.

    They'll prioritise other categories that have visas available to them. Is your timeline correct, your country of birth is India? So you've still got a few years to go?
  14. appleblossom
    Both. But if two applicants both become current at the same time, whoever has the earlier DQ date will be prioritised for interview.
  15. appleblossom
    Both, plus others if required - see the guide at the top of the page. Good luck.

    They are, if they make them realise that that's exactly how an immigration officer will see it as well, particularly in a high fraud consulate like Islamabad. So now they know they need to visit each other as regularly as work and finances will allow, and build a much stronger picture of a marriage for their case. Otherwise they're just heading for another denial. Personally I don't see what value a lawyer would add now, that money would be far better spent on time together. And then maybe a lawyer consult further down the line when they are ready to apply again.
  18. appleblossom
    Yes, absolutely. He'll need to be married to bring his wife for her to be able to be included in his application. As said above adjustment of status isn't an option. So petition him and then wait, he can visit in the interim.

    Perfectly normal, there are no visas available now anyway, and they're currently scheduling those DQ'ed in March. Transfers always take longer. So really don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear once the quota resets. Are you EB2 or EB2-NIW? Do you have another job lined up for after this one ends?

    Tell your wife this is a VERY bad idea. Look at it from the immigration officer's point of view - you're trying to convince them you have a good legitimate marriage and yet you were married for 10 years, spent no time together during that decade, then divorced, then got engaged to marry again. How does that look like a good case for a relationship based visa?!? It will hurt your case, not help it. Your only option is to start living your lives as a proper married couple. Visit each other regularly, as often as you can. Gather evidence of time together. And then apply further down the line once you have a solid foundation. And be prepared to answer a lot of questions when you do come to apply. Most of us are finding it very odd that you've not seen each other, and to be frank, the reasons you've given don't make any sense. What is the actual reason you haven't seen each other in person for x number of years? How often do you speak on the phone or video call?

    I'd suggest they get on a plane asap. But what other ties have they maintained to the US? Have they filed taxes, kept a house/car/bank account? Any other family members in the US? Etc?
  31. appleblossom
    Yep, as said above, a whole new application but if we're reading it right and you have only been together once in the past decade, then you're going to be facing a huge battle to get a visa. That's not a normal marriage by anybody's standards. So I wouldn't bother applying yet as it's likely to be money down the drain. Have a year or two visiting each other regularly, spending time together and showing you've combined your lives, then apply. Good luck.

    **Thread moved as it will be a IR-1 spousal visa application, not K-1**

    Then he can’t adjust status. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-2 He needs to apply via consular processing. As above, he should leave the US asap, it’s likely to be much easier if he’s not deported.

    How did your father enter the US?
  35. appleblossom
    How do you think that’s relevant to you? As it says, even if it happened (unlikely) it’s for those who’ve been waiting 10 years or more already. What happened with your company, is there any chance of sponsorship at all through them?
