    I would work on it being 15 years. If it’s any sooner then that’s a win, but I think it’s unlikely to be much less Dont forget that if the son marries during that period they are no longer eligible for that visa as well. One to watch out for.

    yes she is US citizen. She has no criminal history (at least none I am aware of!) but didn’t disclose anything

    interesting. Thank you for clarifying. My wife didn’t have to produce anything or any paperwork and we were approved without issue. but if my comment was wrong, I stand corrected.

    I did CR1 so can’t speak first hand for k1, but my understanding is they check the sponsor (you don’t need to provide any evidence etc) but provided it’s not a serious crime as mentioned, there’s no issue these are the crimes covered by the act that would potentially bar you: Crimes Covered by the Adam Walsh Act The Adam Walsh Act applies to crimes committed against children, generally defined as victims under 18. Most of these offenses have a violent or sexual nature. They include solicitation, solicitation for prostitution, child pornography, voyeurism, internet sex crimes involving a minor, kidnapping, and false imprisonment, among others. Kidnapping and false imprisonment are not included if a parent committed the crime. The Adam Walsh Act also covers any convictions in foreign countries of equivalent crimes, unless the legal system in the foreign country did not give the defendant a fair trial. You should have no issue
  12. Cw1977
    YOUR criminal convictions are largely irrelevant (unless you have very serious offences, ie SA against children) You won’t even be asked to produce any evidence or certificate of your previous history, so you’re good to go. however DEFINITELY consider getting married and filing the i130 rather than k1 if you can. It has so many more benefits and means your wife can start her new life immediately on arrival (albeit 18 months from filing) and start work etc, whereas with K1 she will be waiting a long time once in US and can’t work and will be entirely dependant on you

    As has been previously mentioned, why would a stranger sign up to that? How much would you consider a ‘fair’ payment? in simple terms, you are asking a stranger to agree to potentially pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for you at an unknown date in the future. Surely you can see there is no amount of money that would make a sensible person agree to that? Not trying to be mean. Just realistic. A stranger who agreed to that would either be crazy or not understand the obligation. Good luck with other options though.

    of course! You can post it any time between day 90 and day 1, technically. I was just saying a week is going to make no difference as the extension letter will come in a few weeks. But you do whatever makes you comfortable. For me that’s a week or two after the date opens. We’ll still get the extension letters weeks before the GC expires
  18. Cw1977
    mine opens on the 23rd july so I’m sending mine in on the 30th. That one week won’t make the slightest difference when they’re taking 2+ yrs to process them anyway and I have total comfort that it’s not going to arrive early and be rejected

    you say better life for “her and her family”. Is she wanting to bring other family members to US as well? That can be a very different process and timescale
  20. Cw1977
    hi. This is what I did for us. No perspective etc. just names and location. They already know who is who. Hope it helps (and pic opens!) Chris photos.pdf

    it won’t be an issue. They have a digital record of you and tbh know a lot about you anyway. They prob have a record of what colour underwear you had on that day! (Joke). if you’re worried anyway you can check your I-94 record online and see the info on there.
  22. Cw1977
    did you also file your US taxes every year, even when abroad?
  23. Cw1977
    that’s not true. It’s up to 90 days. it’s VERY common to be admitted for the full 90, yes, but my point was if they are concerned it’s being used incorrectly, they can choose how long. I had my ESTA admittance once marked for less than 90, but that was due to when my passport was expiring. it definitely IS NOT 90 days or nothing. Please don’t spread mis information.
  24. Cw1977
    hi hopefully it will all be fine for you and her, but don’t forget she might not be admitted for 85 days. They make the decision when she arrives and it’s possible they only allow her to stay for a few wks or so. She should be ready to deal with this and how she would deal with the flight home, especially as you say it is non changeable. How would she buy a flight home after a month, for example? would be good for her to be ready for these types of challenges just in case, as well.
  25. Cw1977
    It is a very easy question to answer. you tell the truth. how is he supporting himself and you? If you know that answer, then that is what you say. There’s no trick or magic answer.
