  1. It may well not have arrived by then anyway, it can take up to 4 months. But if it does then yes, just get it mailed to you. Make sure it's couriered by a traceable service, not just USPS.
  2. I think she's already divorced from what the OP's said. So the question is, is she out of status now and already accruing unlawful presence - has the ex-husband pulled the I-864/1-485 and/or informed USCIS of the divorce?
  3. As said above, there have been cases on the forum which you can search for. Hopefully that will help and show you the potential outcome. You can also consult lawyers if you want to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak. Just checking, but presumably her petitioner has cancelled the I-485/I-864? Given the current administration, there's no way I'd risk her being detained by ICE and held before deportation, it's just a horrific thing to risk happening to her. It would be far kinder to understand the restrictions on the visa she entered on, have her go home and then just visit each other (if she gets caught/banned, there will be no way for her to even visit the US until she gets a waiver). Which country is she from? Could you go and live with her maybe?
  4. I'm all for optimism, but these aren't rules, they're laws. There's a big difference. Rules can be bent as there is often an element of discretion when it comes to applying them. Laws not so much.
  5. Either way, that route is dead in the water. She should have left as soon as the divorce went through, she has no basis to be in the US now.
  6. So they only filed for her adjustment of status a month ago but have already divorced? Have they definitely divorced, or are they just separated? When did she enter on the K-1 and when did she marry her petitioner? She needs to leave asap, as she no longer has a basis to stay in the US if she's no longer married to the petitioner. If she overstays she risks a ban which will add complication, cost, and a considerable amount of time to your journey together. Frankly, you're a long way off being able to apply for anything, if she tried now that would not be a good idea! So just plan for her to go home and then to visit each other for the time being, build your relationship, see what happens and then in time look at your visa options.
  7. You can't track the SSN, but you can track the GC on the case checker page - https://egov.uscis.gov Just put your receipt number in and it will tell you when it's been approved/in production/been sent, etc. And I agree with the suggestion of Informed Delivery, once it's been despatched that's a much better way to track it all the way to your PO Box.
  8. Possibly, but my query is just if it is an R visa (which is a religious/church visa) rather than a B - that would mean they may not need to rush to marry and adjust his status.
  9. I just wouldn’t risk it with the current administration. It’s rare that they would need to be out of the US at all to sell a business or property (I’ve done both remotely from the US with no issues) but as @OldUser said it shouldn’t take 3 years so hopefully they’ll be back much sooner anyway.
  10. It also says R, and the OP said he ‘has his visa at church’. Which is why I asked, as it’s not clear and if it’s an R visa then there may be more time to be together and build a good case for immigration.
  11. That’s going to be a tough sell to immigration when he’s from a high fraud country like Ghana. I concur with @OldUser, consular processing after more time together would be a much better idea. What visa is he in the US on?
  12. I think this has been answered elsewhere, but could you please amend your profile so that it says the right visa? It's going to be really skewing the stats for E-2's at the moment! Thx.
  13. What does this mean? This could be a big issue if she’s yet to enter on her K-1.
  14. So this was on the basis of working for Employer A that laid you off? When was the I-140 approved?
  15. So you follow the instructions on the usual website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/BLG-Belgrade.html Please do fill in your timeline, thx.
  16. Not if that´s her only time there. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html
  17. That’s pretty vital information. Location is too, as each state has different rules re: Medicaid. Which one are you in?
  18. Sounds like you had a RFE re: criminal record though? So you can’t compare your case to somebody else that hasn’t had a RFE.
  19. I wouldn't take immigration advice from somebody on TikTok! Are you in the same state as her? And what visa did she apply for using humanitarian grounds?
  20. OK. I think the chances of a B being granted are very slim, but you can try. Good luck.
  21. Why do you think you'll be getting a NOID? What delay are you referencing?
  22. Just seen your previous post, seems you've already petitioned your mother? So a B is far less likely to be granted, as she's shown immigrant intent. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/830853-filed-for-mom-but-she-is-sick/#comment-11057496 You can try, but be prepared for it to be refused. Also, you do need to show funds for the medical care (as mentioned in the link above), as explained in your last thread, your insurance wouldn't normally cover your mother's care. So you'll need to have cash in the bank, that kind of treatment isn't going to be cheap. When did you file the I-130 for your mother?
  23. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and wish you and your mother well. Your mother would need a B visa, medical treatment is a valid use of this visa - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html/visa Get the evidence mentioned in the link above (doctors letter, evidence of ability to pay for the treatment, etc), and then apply. I wish you the best of luck.
  24. I-130's are processed by USCIS, but NVC do the visa availability/visa bulletin. So they're two independent processes, and not related really. There can be a visa available to you but that doesn't mean USCIS will rush to approve your I-130 (just think of spouses of citizens for example, who have no wait for a visa - they still have to wait 18 months or so for the I-130 to be approved).
