For who?

It was the same then, the 245i throws me.

The military are not happy with KKs lies.

My experience with the 2 party system has been that one inevitably overstays their welcome and no matter how bad the other one gets in by default. Rinse and repeat. I do not think I ever voted for the lead 2 parties? I only remember one person I voted for getting elected . I always voted for the least obnoxious.

Your Sister is not going to know the details but your Mother should at least know the dates give or take? Do they have their Passports from then? FOIA has been mentioned, I 94 not sure what else to say.

That makes more sense my comments were based on the original post. Obviously they need to track down exactly what happened and when, for example on the face of it if your Sister was 12 when they left and she was born presumably in India and they were here 14 years that does not quite add up. I assume you were born in the US when they were here. There is no point petitioning your sister if she does not want to immigrate and it seems she was here for quite some time out of status, Mother is looking to move Sister here, well I agree with appleblossom. Your Mother, yes she has served her 10 year bar for an overstay so the next question is if anything else is in her past that will require a waiver as you cannot file one. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/i-94

This is the tricky one.

I have not been to Thailand but a few years ago came across a channel on YT so I think the issue will be how the Consulate look at that description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMBaoBn9Q1k I think you need to be prepared to address the inevitable assumptions.

If they were here for 2 years and on a H4 they would not have overstayed. Sounds more like a B. 245i makes no sense with those dates anyway. The Visa would be in her passport You can look up the I 94 online She will have to disclose her prior visit to the US anyway as part of the application process. I agree sponsoring her makes more sense.

I was using the OPs timeline, did not realize this was for a friend.

Well a waiver if available would only be an issue once he has been interviewed for an Immigrant Visa which would take 18 to 24 months.

She is Malaysian?

I did not think you had filed anything?

Well F2b has been quicker than F1, my guess would be c 2035.

Who will be filing the I 130?

My understanding is that USCIS are not the ones who do detailed AP checks. They are waiting for the results. I know there has been discussions in the past as to what these checks may entail.

Some good news

One of the problems Politicians have is it is so easy to show how 2 faced they are. A few months later what does he do, exactly what he said he was opposed to.

AP can take months.

I suppose the USC step parent could file... Will be an interesting case.

Is the Mother a LPR?

They would have to be a LPR for 5 years to file a N400

They can file an I 130 for the child. Could be a lot of other issues but that is all I can say so far.

Translation - Hacking will not take my money for a case they consider hopeless. Not the sort of service USCIS provides. He needs to have the case reopened and the charge amended to something not so damning.
