Hello:

My wife's sister has been chatting with a well established Psychiatrist who had his license revoked in New York

for lying about his Education credentials. His license was revoked, he appealed and lost. Is this offense a felony or

is he still able to sponser a K1 visa applicant. Also divorced twice involving drugs violence and police.

Right now he just acts as a consultant at his clinic because he has no license.

Any suggestions

Hello, i need some assistance. My fiance arrived here August 27th, 2013. We got married within the required 90 days. I have logged into the Obama health care website and with my smaller income, I have been told by others i will be forced onto MEDICADE. I meet the I-864 income standards, but it is my understanding i cannot be enrolled in any Government subsidy program when filing for AOS. Is this true? If so what advice can anyone give me regarding the individual mandate and receiving Gov. subsidy when filing AOS

Hello guys

pls help me with my problem. i have finish with my seminar last july 17 with no visa yet. last friday August 16 i received my visa so i went to CFO to get my cert and sticker. unfortunetly the lady who administer the seminar asking any prof of divorce of my fiance. which all the documents are submitted to USCIS and U.S Embassy and APPROVED . im worried because my flight will be on wednesday august 21 AM. until now i dont have yet the sticker on my hands. pls help me.

thank you.

My Fiance had her interview on July 30, 2013. Everything went fine and no 221g was issued. In fact the American Consular told her she was approved. Visa issued in 5 to 10 days. I emailed the Embassy and asked what was up when her Visa was in Administrative processing status. This is what they said in their email response.

The case is pending administrative processing required for completion. Once the review is completed, we will notify the applicant.

Please be aware that it is not Embassy policy to tell applicants or petitioners that a visa would be issued by any specific date. In fact, we advise our clients not to finalize travel plans, dispose of their properties, or give up jobs until a visa is actually delivered to the applicant. We are simply unable to commit to issuing a visa on a certain date.

Tomorrow is the 10th day. So we will see what happens. I just don't understand how you can be told you are approved, then put into a hold and wait status.

Texas just forwards to the California Service Center

If you should loose your Job during the waiting process from AOS1 to AOS2 are you able to just use a Cash Bond for affidavit of support or do you have to file some other form or basically find another job. K1 Visa

Hello:

My wife and son approved chicago point of entry 11-19-2010.

My wife has a Chinese Drivers license. What is required to get an Ohio License?

I called Columbus, they said depends what the I94 states. Or is this part of her passport? I thought the I 94 was for non immigrants!

Thanks for your help

Hello:

My wife will be traveling with our son from Beijing

to either San Francisco or Seattle. Which point of

entry is preferred? Any thoughts?

Hello:

Recently my wife received her CR-1 Visa. June 1, 2010. We had to refile for the 2 1/2 year old

Boy. Original filing, K3 and K4.

Got new filing expedited through USCIS 2 weeks, and National Visa Center 1 1/2 week. Now our son's file

sits in The Guangzhou Embassy. After One month we received an appointment date set 30 days out for the

1st week in September.

I sent a specific list of questions to the Embassy for clarification. The most important is this.

1. My wife is a single Mother. Divorce in October 2006. No listing of any children in Divorce. My wife

became pregnant. Father unobtainable. Child born last of September 2007. Conception last part of

January 2007. Two full months after divorce.

My wife has certified Divorce details, child not listed, Birth Certificate shows Father unknown. The Guangzhou Embassy has indicated that according to "American Law" the Bio-Father must sign a release for her to leave the country with our son.

The Father is not found. There are not custody requests or litigation, or any other court document where anyone, from anywhere had tried to substantiate Fatherhood to our son.

According to the Guangzhou Embassy, if this release is not provided, it will be up to the Visa Officer to decide if he or she grant the 2 1/2 year old boy a Visa.

My conclusion is this; according to what I have read, only children from divorced parents require this release form signed by the Bio-father. My wife has all of the required documents available to substantiate parental rights

and should be allowed to take the boy out of China any time she would like, with a Visa of course.

Any thoughts about the Embassy's position,"According to American Law"

Hello:

A friend of mine has a fiance in China. Lost his job, no good news in sight.

What would this person have to do to qualify through US Immigration and National Visa

Center to obtain a Visa for his fianc'e?

Hello:

Thanks for everyone's help. My wife got visa approval at 10:58 AM on June 1, 2010

We arrived at Guangzhou Embassy at 5:45 AM. There were already some people lined up

waiting entry. Doors did not open until 7:27 AM. By this time at least 150 people were

waiting in line. The security person had everyone line up according to type visa and interview time.

My wife was the only one with a carry on bag with all her information, Yahoo transcripts, receipts, phone

message, money transfer, notarized bank statements, payslips and 3 years tax returns. This was a real

nail biter. The line stretched around the 4th floor for entry to the fifth floor interview room.

I sat at the cafe on 4th floor with 4 other American husbands who's wives were also there for interview.

At 10:45 the first lady came down, visa rejection, then another wife, visa rejection, then another wife, visa

rejection. All received blue slips. It was in creditable. At this point I thought no chance. I had to get up and walk

around I was so nervous. The man sitting next to me wife came. Big smile, Visa Approved. At 10:58 my wife appeared

My husband I am coming to America.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions, especially Darnell! thanks buddy, you are a life saver.

Now I still have a 2 1/2 year old son waiting. USCIS has received his paperwork. I have many people involved to expedite

his paperwork. I am very glad we decided to go ahead with my wife's appointment first. Now we know exactly what to expect.

The questions asked were simple but to the point, income, how met, how communicated, name of company, number of children i had

along with job title, she had my wife reach into the middle stack of Yahoo transcripts, give to officer. Ok, she said.

The officer took the AOS, along with tax transcripts and notarized bank statements and payslips.

Visa officer, said you are approved!!!!

No. He's your stepson, adoption or not. You file an I-130 for the stepson for the purpose of obtaining his own CR2 visa. There is no derivative status in a CR1 case. If you didn't file an I-130 for him, unless you want to leave him behind to follow later, you'll want to delay his mother's visa interview until they can obtain both visas together.

Thanks for the reply,

Are you sure about the delay? I called the National Visa Center today and they were very adamant about telling not to delay my wife's interview. I know the 6 months rule, this is our quandary. I want to delay so both can receive their visa at the same time.

Hello

If I adopt my wife's son who has no father. If the adoption papers show I have all rights

of a natural born child, does he get derivative status?

Wife Has interview June 1, 2010 for CR1 Visa

Well first thing you need to do is to file a I-130 for your step son ASAP with a letter asking for an expedite. Then you need to call the 1800 number and ask to be transfered to an officer. Calmly explain to the officer about what's going on, convince her or him to send an expedite request to the CSC. You will know the response in a weeks time by email.

Once that's done, NVC part isn't as hard because they are used to expedite procedures in cases like this or age-out cases. I got told by the consulate itself to ask for an expedite...meaning they are willing to help in these cases.

In the end, red tape or yellow tape...you will be united sooner than later...be persistent!!

Thanks for your help. Ive called the 800 number a few times, I don't recall the option that allowed speaking to a live person. I try it again.

There is no such thing as paying for premium processing for an I-130 petition. If there were such an option virtually everybody would pay for it. Premium processing is available for $1,000 for an I-129 petition for an alien worker. We don't call the USCIS toll free number the misinformation line for nothing.

File the I-130 for the child as Darnell indicated, and request the expedite.

Do not ever give another second's thought to attempting to falsify a vital record from any government agency. The consequences can be quite severe.

Further, it is not helpful to post your interpretations of what was said. Your K3/4 was not converted to CR1. Your I-129F was administratively closed. The I-130 is the petition filed to result in either CR1 or CR2 in your case.

I appreciate your view point, I called the number listed, Washington D.C.. This Visa specialist suggested this

option to expedite the I 130 application for our young son.

I have been there..done that! My case was a F2A which got converted to a CR1 visa for my wife. THey removed my son from my petition...Anyways to make the long story short, once I got the interview letter for my wife, I called the USCIS to expedite his I-130(I had filed it when I became a citizen in dec 2009), once they saw the reason that its for a 4 month old child, they approved his expedite.

Once USCIS approved the expedite, I emailed PL SUE to expedite his NVC petition and explained what had happened. The Embassy also knew of this during my wife's interview & was helpful in saying Yes for the expedite. Now I am waiting for my son's interview so we can all be united! Freaking laws! If you are LPR(green card holder), you can bring your child(up to 2 years) with a transportation letter, however you can't if you are U.S Citizen. Also if you are a LPR, all kids are derivates in the I-130 petition....Weird laws that U.S has put together in my opinion!!

Thanks for your reply, looks like there is still much Red TApe ahead of me.

The california, Service Center, all I get is recording, You actually spoke to a live person.

Anywhere from 5 to 13 months, depending on many things:

--which service center gets the I-130 petition (CSC is usually faster)

--use NVC Electronic Processing or not (shaves off waiting time between 'NVC OUT' to 'GUZ OPEN CASEFILE')

--any RFEs

--Successful Expedite Approval on the I-130 initial submission. THIS CAN BE DONE without paying a fee, btw.

--caseload at USCIS

--caseload at NVC

IMO, this I-130 for a CR-2 petition SHOULD GO FASTER through the system, even without the expedite, as background checks on you and the mother have already occurred.

You'll need to prep a paragraph on expediting in the cover letter for the submittal, and also a seperate letter requesting expedite as well. (IMO)

Thanks for your help and Information.

It has been a sad day so far. I thought we were almost homefree.

** Duplicate topics merged into a single thread (post #10 the OP includes a bit more information). It looks a little out of sync, I know.

There is nothing out of sync. I just remembered the lady in Washington said I could

file a I 907 for premium processing. Didn't know how to add to original, so made a new
