A MOTHER BURNED ALIVE BY HER HUSBAND

They will cancel the crew visa aswell. You should be speaking to your employer about this.

Why are you playing games with ppl on this board, if you file yesterday for a div, there was no way she was served today.

They are non USC living in their own country, how cann they sue the US for damage done by their own country. This was a joke, right.

You can file a writ anytime, the US govt doesn't care, it's your money. By the time the writ is heard the case would have probably been adjudicated. Since you would have petitioned/file a court case, they can then wait up until the case court date to adjudicate the case. Case would be settled without setting foot in a court room, but the US govt would still have taken the time needed to process your petition.

If 5 months average time frame is not accurate, USCIS needs to change it on their website. If it takes 9-12 months for them to process I-130 then why are so many other I-130 petitions getting processed in 4-5 months? Mind you, I am talking about normal petitions and not DCF.

I am aware of the long AP for MENA males but that comes later. My complaint is about delay in processing outside the stipulated and mentioned time. Fine I-130 takes that long, I have filed for K3 too which should not take 9-12 months.

The filing of the K3 is what messed it up, when you filed the 129, the 130 was taken out of line to match up with the 129. USCIS didn't cause your long wait process, you did by filing two petitions that now are being match up together. If you used a lawyer, than the mis-information that they gave you have slowed your process up even more.

Also note it ays it takes an average, which means some will take longer than 5 months, average is sum of total days/sum of total petitions received. Some petitions will be at the high end and some in the middle and some will be at the low end for processing time. Everyones petition will not be in/at the same processing time.

BTW the K3 has been slowly fazed out since the last 2.5 years ago.

What is the complaint, you aren't even past the time frame for processing. It takes a 130, an average of 9 to 12 months to complete. The 5 to 6 month was just an mis-guide time frame. Being that your flag indicates that you are dealing with Parkistan, you can be in for an even longer wait once this petition gets to the consular stage.

I suggest that you talk to some of the others who are dealing with that consular here on VJ.

Patience and tolerance will need to be your new friend.

That drug charge is almost a definite NO.

Baby will either need a US passport if father is USC, if not then the baby will need a visa.

USC father must do CBA for baby if he wants the baby to claim USC. If all parties are LPR, then the baby will need a visa. If only one is LPR and the other is a citizen of another country, than the LPR will have to file for a visa for the baby, which is a 3 year wait.

Do not lie about baby status, embassy will require a DNA if they have doubt.

So first psychiatric clinic considered Jr's case too serious to handle, and referred to another - where intake is scheduled 6 days from now. Neurologist did another EEG today: it showed epileptic activity still. He requested psychological and psychosocial evaluations, and a new blood test (previously, it required 3 staff to draw 16 vials from this 9y.o. - I don't think he likes me after this)

16 VIALS, YOU CAN DO 100 DIFFERENT BLOOD TEST OUT OF 1 VIAL. WOW

I am a LPR. I petitioned my son (birthdate: 12/15/1987)on Dec. 3, 2008. His approval notice date is July 16,2010. He has been reclassified from Unmarried child under 21 to that of Unmarried child over 21 of a LPR. Do we have grounds to contest this decision? Is there a way to bring him to US fast?

What part of your statement is NOT TRUE, what are you contesting?

The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA). In certain cases, the CSPA may allow you to retain the classification of “child” even if you have reached age 21. Generally, your age is “frozen” as of the date your U.S. citizen parent files Form I-130 for you. To determine if the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) applies to you, see the “Child Status Protection Act” link to the left under “Green Card Processes & Procedures.”

This doesn't apply since you are still a LPR.

Who is Considered to be a "Child" in the Immigration Process?

For immigration purposes, a child can be any of the following:

A biological child born in wedlock

A biological child born out of wedlock:

If the mother is petitioning, no legitimation is required.

If the father is petitioning, legitimation is required in accordance with the laws of the father or child’s place of residence.

If the father is petitioning and the relationship is not legitimated under applicable laws, a bona fide parent-child relationship must be shown to have existed prior to the child’s 21st birthday and while the child was unmarried

If he was already removed in absentia, then he has problems.

It appears that you did not file for a K1 visa. Your timeline says I130. The guidelines are different. There are plenty of people on here that have been approved after only meeting once in person.

Maybe you need to read up on the consular reviews for the country your SO is interviweing within to see how they handle limited relationship contacts. I have been on this board long enough to see that one visit in a middle eastern country generally doesn't persuade the CO that the couple has a valid relationship. Again, you can continue down the route you are going, I wish you much success on your journey.

For some countries doing just the minimal just doesn't work.

It up to the age or 26, single or married. Went into effect on 01/01/2012.

If he was watching porn now, he was watching it before he met you. You just wasn't aware of it.

Go easy on the male bashing, not all crayons in the box are of the same color. That'why people love the rainbow, no 2 stripes are the same.

He is what you got, may not be right but only you can know if his behavior works for you.

I contacted one of my senator's office last week and today I found out that our file is being sent back to USCIS.The Consular officer says that the relationship was entered soley for immigration. I have only seen him once in 3 years. We are trying to save our money for our future. He had his interview last month and was given a 221G form requesting proof of relationship. He brought hotel receipts, engagment ring receipt,emails, my phone log from my calling card and pictures to the interview. I thought that was enough. In response to the 221G we sent pictures, emails (about 65) , engagment ring receipt (again), envelopes from the mail I sent him.

The only possible red flag I can think of is that I am a lot older than him (about 17 1/2 years) We get along great and the age has never bothered us.

I plan to call USCIS tomorrow or Monday. I also plan on calling my representative in congress. I am doing the right thing by contacting USCIS? I am unsure what to do at this point. I am also considering hiring a lawyer but I thought I would contact USCIS first.

Has anyone else gone through this? What is my best course of action.

Thanks to all

Sorry about this, but wasn't getting the visa your future, not spending time with your SO was a hugh mistake. You can try all of the things listed above, but you must overcome the "the relationship was entered soley for immigration" denial.

How are you applying for a H1B, when the cap for 2013 has been met.

H2B is a seasonal job visa, so are you sure it will be a seasonal job visa, work for less than 6 months. H2B visa only takes a month.

Not for then 2013 CY, the H1 cap has been met. You will be out of status while waiting on the 2014 CY HB1. The answer is NO.

If you need it, will you pay the price asked.

What about childhood pictures with the son and mother together.

Life'sjourney, your assessment is appreciated - as it helps to look at the circumstances from the other side, or from un-informed side. You are absolutely correct that the system is not geared to easily handle a case like this. The system tries to efficiently dispose of cookie-cutter cases. There is place for this topic to help with male VAWA and children VAWA cases

Sir to say I am un-informed is a mis-statement on your part. As I stated you have no case for a U visa, and based on your own facts VAWA is iffy. I will not entertain you with legal advise, because you needs to be seeking the advise of a certified lawyer. One VJ member has been kind enough to give you some guidance with the caveat that you should be seeking the aid of a professional provider. You have choosen to ingnore this advise.
