First the baby will need a legal passport from his country of citizenship.

Greg, please read this web site information again, I saw nothing that says a Finance petition is 240, I did see a filing fee of $340.00.

Also please read all information that is attached to this link http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/300-general-k1-guides-and-info/

Then come back if you have any additional questions that are not answered, before you consider to file a K1 petition.

Here is a fact for you

Bangladesh is one of the major labour-sending countries of the world. Each year

a large number of people voluntarily migrate overseas for both long- and shortterm

employment.

So don't you think one of these people have used an expired GC and an extension letter to go home and come back to the US.

nic123 Uscis won't charge to stamp her passport and it will take just a few minutes.

Why do he need a stamp?

Now I find it irritating, dude open your eyes, which world you live in? What does the country flag on my profile say? You work for USCIS? Can you guarantee me by writing down on a paper with notarization that I won't have any hard time flying back to the US? I am sure can't so, keep on reading my thread & please only speak if you have something useful to say.

Best Regards.

Oh, I saw the country flag, but with all of the hype I thought maybe it was some country that have very little migration to the USthroughw, it's you who I don't understand why you have such an issue with what has been told to you, not just by immigration and the notice on the 751 extension letter. So what is the real problem, people have been flying back and forth to Bangladash for years with this situation. So again, what is the real problem?

Again, once again someone trying to assist and the poster gets rude.

Totally un-necessary.

What country will you be leaving from to fly back to the US?

All of this un-necessary post about something that is a daily routine for most airlines. Most airlines are used to seeing the 751 extension letter unless they just went into operation yesterday.

The extension letter along with the expired GC will be well received by the airlines. Getting the stamp is a un-necessary step. You are not the only LPR who have traveled in and out of a country with an expired GC along with an extension letter. These letters have been into place over the last 20 years. Now if your country is one where no one migrates from and you are the 1st to be a LPR of the US from that country than I would be concern,

Travel enjoy and come back safetly.

I am sorry for your loss. Be strong... (F) (F)

Okay this is a complicated situation so I'm going to only explain the relevant info for simplicity's sake.

Me: US Citizen

Wife: Ukrainian Citizen, status: we married in USA but she had to accept voluntary departure for previous overstay (she overstayed while we met and got married). She's currently in her home country now.

StepDaughter: Her daughter was a rider on her voluntary departure. She is a minor so she doesn't get barred from overstay.

We hired a lawyer, and did paperwork for the stepdaughter (wife's daughter, ukrainian citizen born in ukraine) to come back to the USA to resume school (she was born in ukraine but lived in usa since age of 4 months. Went to US schools, speaks only english, but she's not us citizen)

So far we are still waiting for the stepdaughters immigration interview in her home country (it's been about 6 months so we're expecting it very soon). I have heard this might be 50/50 but we're giving it a shot anyway.

My question here gets one more bit complicated than above! We're working with lawyer about daughter for her to return to USA, but one more thing is an issue that makes this even more complicated (I know, I know):

What if I divorce my wife (the ukrainian) right now, today. We're about 6 months into wife's daughter's process (whole process is about 9 months the lawyer says).

Will USCIS somehow know that we're divorced? I already submitted stepdaughter's I130 and submitted marriage cert, etc. How could they know that today I will get divorced (hypothetically)? It oould take a couple more months to get divorced also.

So imagine that the stepdaughter passes immigration, gets her greencard (we filed I130), gets on the airplane, comes to USA, but I am a single man at that point in time. Would USCIS or customs know about this somehow?

I know that divorce will terminate the stepdaughter relationship with me so I can't get divorced. But this is just a hypothetical question (I have my reasons, it's important! Thanks!)

Edit: I can explain the reason if anyone's wondering. My marriage started bona-fide real marrage but 2 years into marriage we fought. After another year of bad marriage, she got her deportation notice (we did file I130, I485 at that time but it was denied due to her previous overstay from her original VISA (I met her in the USA I did not bring her here myself)). She took voluntary departure after a 1 year battle in court. Her daughter is a "rider" on her court case so she goes too even though she is a minor and not subject to accrued overstay on original VISA. Presently at this time, we are legally married but it's now evolved into a not-so-real marriage anymore. I have a girlfriend, she has a boyfriend in ukraine. I want to get her daughter back here in the USA because she is very unhappy in Ukraine (she's pretty much an american since she was raised in USA). The mother agrees and she wants her here too, even though we're divorcing later. My question is, can I just divorce now? How would USCIS even be able to find out if I divorce, since that goes through the county and not the federal government. It is not like that info (getting a divorce) is broadcast everywhere, just in our county.

Thanks! It's complicated but due to the situation of the stepdaughter needing to come back, it's worth going thru this.

What do you think will happens if the step-daughter lies under oath that all of the information stated in the petition is true? If you should proceed with divorce procedures?

Tim, I didn't say they wouldn't have to explain to immigration why the child was not listed, but immigrtion cannot denied a USC the right to file for their step child. The step-child under the age of 18 has the same privliges under a step parent as a bio child has to their USC parent.

You may not like it, but hey this step-parent can file for his step-child. This child will be offered a visa in the immediate family category.

Tim, a step parent can file for their step child even if the parent bio-parent is no lonfger in the marriage. Therefore, they should not file for a k2, they should file for a 130, as a step parent.

The petitioner became the step parent before the child turned 18, this child is seven. It is the stepparent whom is now filing for his step son.

Yes, I am aware that this couple is still married.

File the 130 form for the step-child. Immigrations has seen this before, they will proceed accordingly.

This topic has been discussed on this board many times before. Do a site search for other related post.

She simple could have Google, " how to obtain a divorce in the state of Florida". She probably would have goten over 1000 hits. No need to come onto an immigration site to ask about how to obtain a divorce. But since she did let those who wish to offer advice proceed on.

You talk others about being judgmental? really? You ask this because you are being nosy. You answered her question with another question, a question that has zero to do with how to go about finding a lawyer or obtaining a divorce. You attacked Destiny for passing judgment, and she answered the OP's question without a single judgmental word...

To the OP you can go to the local courthouse and file for divorce without a lawyer. The fee for an uncontested divorce is inexpensive, and if there are no children involved the paper work is very straight forward. If you have trouble understanding the process the court can give you names of divorce attorneys in your area. If you can't afford a lawyer they can recommend lawyers that will work pro bono or at a discounted rate. You have been married less than a year so you won't qualify for alimony or spousal support. Good luck and I wish you the best, divorce is never easy.

I will respond to you because you tend to have a mighter than thy attitude about many things and people.

Personaly I hate when any poster comes on to a DIY board and put all of their personal business for the public. This poster could have written two simple sentence, if all she wanted was a name of a divorce lawyer.

The statement could have been, I live in the state of : " . Could someone assist me with a name divorce lawyers. That would have gotten her exactly what she wanted. Why do people tell their life story, its because they wants other to ask 'why, what and when". Did I care if she responded, "NO".

My statement goes to you and anyone else who wants to judge others, if you don't want to be judged, than don't judged anyone else. Those who came and judged the poster about what she said had no more right than anyone else.

Second part of this discussion, do I care what you think, I think you know the answer to that question as well.

Nether one of you have answered her question, did you give a name of a lawyer or did I miss that in either post. I think that was what she asked and you both have judged another poster. As you both have stated stick to the question asked.

Judged not to be judged.

You are asking for a divorce because of internet viewing?

and i don't understand what is the hours for the holiday? the website on the jamaican embassy has proven to not be correct. as evidenced by christmas eve being a holiday and it was not posted as a recognized holiday. Are they functioning on december 31st? happy holidays to everyone on visajourney and your kind words.

They maybe open for 4 hours, I am still loss why you are hung up on the hours of operation for the embassy. You have stated that the visas was being printed, therefore it seems as if you are waiting on delivery of the visas through DHL.

Many posts have been posted that a visa can take any where from 4 days to 3 weeks. If they are still checking behind the screen and if the printing of the visa is through a vendor they have employed to do such service there is nothing the embassy can do. The printing of the visa may not be operating on the same hours and days as the embassy or DHL. There is nothing you can do but wait patiently until the holidays are over. At that time every business would have gone back to operating within normal business schedules.

you are wrong and should read the guides. F-1 is student visa http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html

I am not wrong, my statement was a question to her comment. Go back and re-read my statement. My sentence started with an IF.

If F=1 is wife and child of LPR, then whose husband is interviweing? Your should already be a LPR, if you are a F-1 or F-2. :wacko:

New medical

New Police report

Update 864 finance form

Embassy has pull your approved 130 back from USCIs.

There are many steps to be done before you will be ready for an interview.

You will have to do a repeat of Medical since the medical is over a year, so making the appt will gain you nothing. Follow directions, as the Consular gave to you. There was a reason for it.

HE MUST declare his kids, therefore the household is 4. It will always be 3 for him plus 1 if you are part of the household. Until the kids are 18 or 21.

I was not wrong, maybe I forget to complete the answer.

A professor would mark an incomplete answer as wrong. A big red X.

BTW, I am still laughing at your responds. LOL
