If the OP could go back in time, then advice on what they SHOULD have done would be useful. Unfortunately nobody has invented time travel yet, so advice on what to do in the FUTURE is probably better.

No need to be so defensive. It's an internet forum where others will read and respond to your posts.

I an not defensive, there was nothing incorrect in my responds, therefore there was no need for a responds from you.

Read the OP. They want to get the K1 visa, get married, then use their AP (once approved and received) to travel to the beneficiary's country to get married again in a church. Nobody is talking about getting married before the K1.

Telling them what they should have done doesn't entirely help the situation now.

They've already filed for the K1, so they might as well see it through. Their plan will work, it just won't be nearly as fast as they want it to be.

My advise and opinion is for the OP, if you don't like it, than don't read it. The next time you post I will make sure that I do not offer you any advise or opinion. I am not a child to be told how to respond.

Hi Everyone, my fiance and I got engaged 4 months ago. He already filed for a k-1 visa on the 30th of October. Our plan is to get married in my country (not the U.S.) for many reasons. So once we get the visa (praying everything goes as planned), i will head over to the States, get married in court, file for all things necessary to be filed (SSN, Advanced Parole, AOS, etc) and then finish the wedding preps. Once we get approved for advanced parole, we will head back to my country and have the church wedding and honeymoon there. So, my question is, is this even possible and do we have enough time to do all this before we do the interview for the adjusment of status? we wanna be married in church before that. How long does it usually take to get the interview date for AOS from the time of filing. and is there a chance that advanced parole will get approved AFTER AOS interview? I'm a newbie here so I need all the help i can get. thanks a lot : )

If you really must have the church wedding before you feel married, han you'll should have proceeded as followa;

Had the church wedding in your country, than filed a CR1 for a spouse visa.

Filing the K1 will not give you'll the time and space to do what you have indicated above in a timely manner or fashion. You won't know when and if you will need an interview for the AOS until the interview letter arrive after filing for AOS.

He has not yet filed I-864, that is why he is still under no commitment to support for 10 yrs. K1 is a non-immigrant visa.

Let's be clear the 864 does not committ an individual to support anyone for 10 years.

The finanical forms is only forceable by the government for services used by the LPR of government funds.

If no AOS file, than the wife is/will be out of status. If the husband is filing for a divorce than her only re-cource is to return home. Since she has no basic to file an abuse claim. Fallen out of love doesn't consiue abuse.

hello,

This is about a friend of my wife's niece. My wife came from Ukraine in 2008 and is now a US citizen. The niece came in 2011 and married. The niece's friend came from Ukraine, with her young son, in late November 2012. She married the man in December, but now the new husband does not want her or her son, and wants her to return to Ukraine. (He even went so far as to tell an attorney this week that their marriage is a fake.) The woman told the niece that the man is 100% different then when they were dating.

some background: the man is 52 yers old, is a naturalized US citizen for about 16 years, and still lives with his mother. He travelled to Ukraine 3 or 4 times to visit the woman and sent her money all the time. The woman is 23 years old and the son is 4. (yes, the ages are correct) He paid all the money for the visa applications and her travel to the USA. Now he is telling her to get out! He has told her to go find a job even tho she is not allowed to work yet. He told he he will not submit any more paperwork for her and will not pay a dime for anything for her. He calls her and her son "stupid" all the time. He has not abused her physically--yet--but mentally and emotionally she is going through hell. She speaks no English.

The woman really has nothing to go back to in Ukraine now and has no money. My wife's niece and husband have been trying to help her and convince the man to get his act together. The man refuses. The niece lives in California and the woman in New York, so they cannot help physically.

I have questions because if I am not mistaken, the man signed the affidavit of support, guaranteeing he will support her for 10 years. How can she get that enforced?

She is really just giving up and is willing to return with her son to Ukraine, but has no way (financially) of traveling. Then there is the issue of the marriage and the need for a divorce. Her fiance visa expires later this month. If the man did state to an attorney that their marriage is a fake, then there will be no way she can get a green card based on that marriage. She is really in a bad way now and there is fear for her safety while with him. She is helpless and trapped now.

Who can she turn to? I told my wife that worst case scenario, I will drive from our house (Indianapolis) to New York and pick them up and bring them back to our house. However, I am currently unemployed (it sucks) and we definitely cannot afford to suppport the additional mouths for long. The niece has her own son and their financial situation will not allow them to assist financially, either.

any help/ideas would be great!

First, let be clear this STATEMENT IS NOT CORRECT.

Now on to some clear questions and answers, has the wife AOS her status yet? Do she have a GC?

My fiancee has been showing signs of stress and depression. She hasn't seen a doctor yet but I will convince her to go soon. I was just wondering if it is possible to expedite the visa process if the doctor discovers she is becoming depressed.

I believe she is dealing with a lot of stress because of all her responsibilities at home and the poor conditions that she lives in.

I believe because of this stress she could be developing depression. If that is the case I foresee extreme hardships on our relationship. I support her financially but if she develops a mental illness such a depression I think it would be hard to pay for those medical costs. But if she was here it would be much easier for me to care for her. I have medical insurance and when we are married it can cover her as well. So I was just wondering what is required to expedite the visa process?

If it matters, I'm from the USA and she is from the Philippines.

Thank you

Is this a new condition in her life, or has her living environment always been in this condition? What makes today in her life any different than what her environment was a couple of months, weeks ago?

The Birth Certificate, you must have reported the birh to the country and attained a BC. It doesn't matter who performed the Birth.

How about 5 years from now, when you can show maturity. Skipping classes and geting suspended from school jus pu you into he no visa catogery for a very long time. The CO knows that the school pu a lot of thought into suspending an internaional sudent before they finally released you.

Five years FROM THE DATE YOU WERE ISSUED YOUR GREENCARD.

None, You must wait until you are a US citizen, or you can go back home to be with your mother. You can file for a re-entry permit which will allow you to be out of he country for up to 2 years without losing your LPR staus.

If your mother needs her medicine for 5 months and she is unable to purchase five months worth of medicine in her own home country where medicine is a lot cheaper, why would you'll even be thinking about trying to purchase the medicine here in a first class country at a first class price.

It seems like your mothers best option would be to only visit for the alloted amount of time that she has her medicaion for.

She may have be denied entry, but he stated she received a ban, so just asking for a visa does not give you a 5 yer ban.

Again, everyone is skirting the facts, a ban is no issued unless a law has been violated. Asking for a one day pass is not breaking any immigration laws.

She could have withdrawl her request to enter the US, and turned around and walk right back to the Mexico side of the POE, without a ban being issued. She came up in their computer and hey issued this ban based on what they saw there.

Op I am saying this again, either you don't have all of the facts or she was using someone else ID if your GF has never been in the US before.

Yep many pieces missing, so I shall wait. :whistle: :whistle:

That's why she was calm, cool and collect when they had detained her.

As I outlined in my story, not once were we told that a "shopping permit" did not exist, and everyone continued with what appeared to be normal procedures. Had one person told us this, we would happily have turned around and gone back to the hotel.

Please understand your GF has not told you everything or else you are not sharing everything with us.

Correct no one gets a 5 year ban for an attempt to enter. There is more to her immigration problems than what you have chosen to share. She could have withdrawn her request to enter and walked away without any penalties being applied to her.

Okay something about this isn't making sense, if the gf never had any violations aginst US immigration why was a 5 year ban put aginst her. She could have withdrawn her request to enter the US, and there would not have been any ban put against her. Sorry but something isn't making sense here.

I did read his prior post.

Since no one really answered your question or concern, applying for a visa and than aborting it will not hurt a future visa application. You can apply twice without requesting a wavier.

Appy for the K1 petition is totally acceptable in your current situation.

"He cannot enter to immigrate without an immigration visa. However, he can visit you, and if on one of his visits he decides to stay, then he can choose to do so and adjust status."

Incorrect information, if the LPR just got her GC, than a visa will not be available for the husband of a LPR until 2 years later. There is a wait on visa avavilable for spouse and children of GC holders.

Odd, I have not seen any mention of any changes.

Implement the US-VISIT Exit Requirement System

Install biometric exit requirements at all airports and seaports

Create a biometric system for land borders to ensure that temporary workers are registered and leave the country before the visa expires

This will open up the path to many more vistor visa approvals. Sorry you are not called upon on all of the immigration reform decisions.

If you'll can wait it out, with the new immigration reform there will be major chnages in the visitor visa process. Many people will benefit from it, but it will hurt those who uses it to abuse the immigration process.

Beware with the new immigration reform, there will be some major changes in this process. There will be tigher controls on vistor visas stays and overstays.

What country is she trying asylum from, I sure hipe it isn't France. If it's France, you just threw money out the window on that lawyer.

Second, she is just trying for asylum from 1997, 15 years have gone by. Who is still looking for her after 15 years.

How are you measuring speed? Fast is just a verb to describe the object. The entire process invovles some level of correct legal subjective process.

Fast doesn't means it will be legal and correct.

If nothing to investigate than there is nothing to be worried about. ICE don't investigae frivolously cases.

the letter "t" is stuck, so if a word is missing it's "t", just insert it as you read.
