Hi all, I am currently a permanent resident of the US looking into joining the Air Force National Guard, however my Permanent Resident Card is conditional and expires in 2 years, I learned from a recruiter that people holding a "Green card" are eligible to join the military but that the card must not expire within 2 years from the date you enlist. That being said I would like to know if there is any waiver to extend my green card validity period in order for me to join the ANG or if there is any type of waiver that allows me to do so holding the 2 years conditional green card. In 2 years I'll get my 10 years green card, and in 3 years I am going to be eligible for US Citizenship, but I am 25 years old and I want to start a career now, hopefully with the ANG. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I think it is pretty clear what the factors are in getting a Tourist Visa.

It is also pretty clear that nobody can vouch for someone else in such a matter.

I have no idea what being a Veteran has to do with this issue so I will let that one pass.

In this case the applicant has few ties and is from a high fraud country - QED.

Being a Veteran has nothing to deal with the matter.

And no, the process is still unclear specially because I know people who has been granted tourism visas being students with no strings attached to the country at all when in this case the applicant brought her employer letter stating that she works for the biggest company in the country for 25 years and didn't have any intention of retirement and with her vacations days, plus taxes, plus pay check, house title etc. seems to me a good amount of ties compared to a student. But anyway, we are gonna wait, maybe a couple years or so, and in this while my husband and I will be visiting Brazil which is not bad at all, or maybe, as someone else said, we'll go on vacations somewhere else with my mother, the only thing I am sure of is I am seeing her it doesn't matter where I'll have to go.

What she is saying is that no one has legal authority over another person from a different country....your husband has no legal authority over your mother and cannot nor could not force her to do anything regarding her travels. That is a simple fact of life. He cannot physically carry her to the airport (assault and battery) and could not, without a ticket himself, accompany her to the boarding gate. It is certainly doubtful that he would call ICE to come and corral YOUR mother....that would certainly detract from the domestic tranquility.

the main thing is this: no one can promise our government that a third party will adhere or obey our laws, because there is NO LEGAL MEANS by which such an individual, like your husband, veteran or not, can 'order' somebody else to do something. It cannot happen, and thus, any such promises to do such a thing are totally meaningless.

I understand that and i agree with you that nobody has any power over one or one's actions, it's not up to other's though to judge someone's action in case something happened specially because nobody knows anybody here, just like I couldn't say what your actions would be, you cannot preview what my husband's would be. But that's not the case because as far as I know we are here to help each others and not to judge or play the guess-teller...anyway, what I meant was that the way that was put before was inappropriate. I understood the general idea but the way it was expressed was not the best. That's all.

For the letter, that may be meaningless to some but not to all, nevertheless even a verbal agreement is still an agreement as much as someone's words is responsibility of that person and should be considered as the government could state it on the visitor's file. Anyway, the purpose of this thread was not to point fingers to anyone nor offend anyone, it was purely to ask for help and advice and try to understand how the process works because it is still unclear how the decisions are really made and I am sure that just like me most of all people here would like their family to be able to visit.

Like I said before I didn't mean to come off rude or to engage in a discussion, internet can be really deceiving because you don't know the tone the person is using and sometimes what you write can be misunderstood, I respect every point of view posted in this thread and I appreciate that you all took the time to help.

I m not saying all vets are same, but some vets have been caught helping gangs by smuggling money and contrabands.

So most authority will give most vets some flex, but in cases like this where immigration just cannot go by someones word does not matter who you are.

Say worst case scenario what is OPs mom decided to overstay her visa, was her husband(vet) run after her and chase her to the border?

We did not think that being a vet would make a difference we just stated that my husband is a lawful citizen and has fought for his country, he would never do something illegal. I don't think your comment was appropriate nor that would make any sense due the matter. And for your question, my mother would never overstay her visa nor engage in any illegal activity but hypothetically speaking, if she did I am sure my husband would be the first to chase her and send her home. Anyway if you go by that line then nobody would ever be able to get a visa because I am sure that the number of regular people, americans or not, who engage in illegal activities in this country is much bigger than the number of vets who has done it. You cannot generalize or compare people about something like that.

Anyway, I don't mean to be rude or anything, I respect your opinion but I don't think that the way you put it was appropriate.

The system is what it is because so many people have taken advantage of it. Every time someone comes on a tourist visa and gets married then adjusts status and stays, it adds another rung to the ladder that those of us who follow the rules have to climb. I think the only way that will change is if they change the laws so you can't adjust from a tourist visa. Be that as it may, as others have said, all you can do is wait and try again. I will however disagree that the invitation letter harms your case. Everyone I know who has had a relative come to visit has sent an invitation letter. Likewise people who have come on tours get invitation letters from the tour company. The invitation letter, if well written can help and certainly won't hurt.

That's truth! I also agree that an invitation letter won't hurt but may even help! It is very frustrating to see all these illegals here and think that most of them actually got a visa before coming that def shows a hole on the system! The worst part is that they say that you have not showed enough proof of evidence compelling you to go back to your home country, however they never asked for any evidence and if they had asked on my mom's case she brought everything with her: house title, employer letter, taxes transcripts, pay check, everything! Anyway, it is what it is! We're gonna keep trying, not any time soon but eventually, specially because I don't know how it is in other countries but in Brazil the visa process for a tourist visa cost something about R$300! And that's not cheap at all! Anyway thank you all for the tips and advice! It's being really helpful! =)

My step daughter was just refused for the second time. This time with a personal guarantee from me, her paid college tuition as a full time student, bank account documents, title to her condo, employment letter from the call center she works in at night, and a personal letter from one of my Senators.

The consular official flat told her this time that she would never get a tourist visa because her mother and sister were living in the states.

Pisses me off because every refusal costs me a vacation trip for her to Hong Kong, or Macao, or Singapore to get her over the depression.

What is really irritating is that I we can apply for an F2B visa for her to live here, but she can't visit while waiting.

Hi Dave! I'm sorry to hear that! I believe being the daughter of a LPR is a bit more complicated once usually the daughter depends on the mother and not the opposite. I believe the best thing for you is to apply for the F2B as you said! I know how frustrating it is not being able to have our own family visiting and In your case not only frustrating but also expensive as it seems! Unfortunately there's not much we can do but hope for the best to come soon! I wish you guys luck in your process!

I am sorry to hear that!!! I am going through a IR-1 petition right now and wondering if my sisters and parents will EVER be able to visit me in US. It's very frustating that some people just play with the system and laugh about it, while honest people have to go through denials and delays. It does not work unfortunately, if it did, we wouldn't read forums talking about mariage frauds almost everyday here on VJ!!

I hope you find a way through to see your mother!!! Good luck, I wish you and your husband all the best!!

Thank you Isis! It is very frustrating to see our loved ones going through such a situation when we are trying to do things right just because of those who try to play the system! But unfortunately it's something we have to learn how to deal with I guess! At least we can go back and visit our family and friends and I'm sure they will be able to visit us eventually even though that may take a while! =( It is very hard to be far but we gotta be strong! My husband and I went through the k-1 process and I know how painful it is to be far from who you love! I wish you and your husband the best of luck in this journey! =)

once she becomes a USC and applies, it only takes few months( unless things change by then). My mom went couple of times for B2 visa and was denied. all she wants to do is be ablt to say I have been to U.S.!!!.She has been to London and back. So I told her to wait as I would just file for her. I put in papers for her the very day I took my oath ceremony ( three months ago) and she is going for interview next month.

Thank you for the tip ndu26! Congratulations on your citizenship! Hope everything works out for your mom! =)

So she did bring the other stuff... I'm sorry she got denied still

Thank you for your support MalaysianGirl! =)

Unfortunately the fact that you and your husband are doing it correctly doesn't mean anything to the VO at the embassy. To me it sounds like a tough nut to crack based on her family situation in Brazil.

You may need to wait for your AP and then you and hubby go visit her. A trip to Brazil sounds like a better deal to me anyhow.

We will definitely visit her, although it is a very frustrating situation the one she has been trough. Thank you for your advice!

From the state department website:

Strong ties differ from country to country, city to city, individual to individual. Some examples of ties can be a job, a house, a family, a bank account. "Ties" are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your country of residence: your possessions, employment, social and family relationships.

As a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, imagine your own ties in the United States. Would a consular office of a foreign country consider that you have a residence in the United States that you do not intend to abandon? It is likely that the answer would be "yes" if you have a job, a family, if you own or rent a house or apartment, or if you have other commitments that would require you to return to the United States at the conclusion of a visit abroad. Each person's situation is different.

Our consular officers are aware of this diversity. During the visa interview they look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural and other factors. In cases of younger applicants who may not have had an opportunity to form many ties, consular officers may look at the applicants specific intentions, family situations, and long-range plans and prospects within his or her country of residence. Each case is examined individually and is accorded every consideration under the law.

WHO CAN INFLUENCE THE CONSULAR OFFICER TO REVERSE A DECISION?

Immigration law delegates the responsibility for issuance or refusal of visas to consular officers overseas. They have the final say on all visa cases. By regulation the U.S. Department of State has authority to review consular decisions, but this authority is limited to the interpretation of law, as contrasted to determinations of facts. The question at issue in such denials, whether an applicant possesses the required residence abroad, is a factual one. Therefore, it falls exclusively within the authority of consular officers at our Foreign Service posts to resolve. An applicant can influence the post to change a prior visa denial only through the presentation of new convincing evidence of strong ties.

Financial ties may not be the issue here. What does your mother have holding her to Brazil?

Immediate family?

There is nothing you can do to get a decision reversed. Your mother has to present more convincing evidence.<br style="margin-left: 0px;">

Hi Operator! My mother works for the biggest company in Brazil for 25 years now, she has an excellent and stable job, she owns her own house and she has no intention whatsoever to leave her good life behind to come stay illegally cleaning bathrooms in the US. All he family lives near her and she is really attached to them. She brought her bank statements, employer letter, house title but the consul didn't ask her for any of these, he mostly asked about me such as when did I get married and what type of visa I had when I came.

I suggest that once you become a citizen, you submit a I-130 for your mother. Perhaps in a dozen years she will be approved to come here. It is sad that so many are denied visas. This is because so many have come here on tourist visas and business visas and never returned to their homeland. It just makes it harder for others seeking to just visit.

Hi bestofboston! The fact is she really doesn't intend to immigrate, she only wants to come visit! It is so unfair how the system works, it just pisses me off to see how many people come and overstay, staying illegally and causing this frustration to people like our mothers and loved ones that only intend to do things right.

Two questions

Are you an only child?

Is your Mom married?

Yeah, I'm the only child. My mom is not married but she has a boyfriend. It's just hard because even though I'm the only daughter and so, she doesn't intend to stay at all, actually she doesn't even speak english and she is really attached to her family (sisters / nieces / nephews), she has an excellent job in Brazil and owns a house, she wouldn't trade her great life to come stay illegal here, and my husband and I we went through all the process to be together according to the laws, we would never jeopardize this doing something illegal!

An invitation letter is not only not helping the case but can jeopadize it. The applicant should proof strong ties back home. Where the relatives like daughter lives in US will make it even harder to get a visa. There is nothing you can do. She can try to reapply but she needs to make sure there is enough ties back home. It is hard to get a visa from the high fraud countries.

On the letter we explained that the purpose of the visit was only tourism and my husband as a combat veteran gave his word she wouldn't overstay nor engage in any illegal activity. But it doesn't matter anyway because the consul didn't even let her show the letter nor mention it. She brought to the interview a letter from her employer also, which happens to be Brazilian's biggest company and she works for them it's been 25 years, on the letter it said her vacations days and that she is not retiring or anything, she also brought her house title, showing that she owns the house but he didn't ask for anything at all! I really don't know what else could proof ties to Brazil besides the fact that her whole life is there, she owns a house and has an excellent job! =( However I know people that got a tourist visa having no ties to Brazil at all, I'm finding quite hard to figure out their standards on this matter.

Hi! I would like to ask for some advice in this issue. My husband and I have been married for 3 months, I came as a K-1 to the US and my husband is an american citizen. We have invited my mother to come visit us and her interview was today and she got denied. My mom has worked for 25 years for the biggest company in Brazil and own her own house, still the paper they give to her said there was not enough proof of evidence that she would go back to Brazil, even though she took to the interview all the papers from her work with her vacations days etc and a letter that my husband wrote, dated and signed, inviting her to come to visit us. However she wasn't asked for anything and when she tried to reach out the invitation letter to the consul he told her to only handle him papers if he asked her to, she said he was really rude and wouldn't let her say anything other than the asked, she couldn't even say she had the invitation letter with her! Anyway, I would really appreciate if someone could give me some light on what to do, because she is my mother and eventually she is gonna have to come visit us. Does the fact that I've been here and my husband and I have been married for such a short time has anything to deal with this? Should we e-mail the embassy for a review? Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Hello!!! It's been a while since I've been here! Was wondering if is there anyone from the New Hampshire area!?! If there is would be great to get together sometime with our loved ones, it is always great to meet new people!!! Hope you all have a great journey and amazing weekend! =)

Hola!!! Como estan todos?! Primeramente gracias por la invitacion! Yo soy del Rio de Janeiro, Brasil y estoy a morar en New Hampshire ahora con mi amor! Se hay alguna duda sobre el K-1 yo estoy pronta a ayudar con lo que se! Alguien aqui es de New Hampshire?! Gustaria muchisimo de hacer nuevas amistades cerca de aqui!!! =)

Hello! Don't worry you'll be fine, sometimes it may take up to two weeks for the letter from the NVC to arrive! Really depends on the mail system and so! For your question if you'll need it for the interview, yeah, you will need all the approvals you had from USCIS and NVC attached to your paperwork! You may wanna check it on the local embassy website, they have a list of the documents and forms and the order that they must be presented at the interview. But don't worry, you're gonna get the letter soon! Good luck!

Well at least here in Brazil they ask for the approval letters, so like I said, you should check on your local embassy website!

My fiance has a friend who went through the same situation, although not in Brazil, but he didn't have a job because he was living with his fiancee somewhere in Africa, anyway, he had his parents co-sponsoring them and everything turned out good! You said her mom is willing to co-sponsor you guys so you should be fine Just make you sure you don't forget anything such as the 3 years taxes transcripts, bank statements and so, here is the link for the instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134instr.pdf

All they need to know is that you won't become public charge! You'll be fine!

Good luck on your journey!!!

Hey Guys,

Me and my fiancée applied for a K1 Visa and I have a few questions regarding the Medical Interview. She lives in Brazil and I don't know if there are any specific medical tests and shots for Brazil. I would like to know what are the required medical exams for the doctor appointment and what are all the required shots. Can my fiancée start all the exams such as pap, x rays, blood test and take them to the visa certified doctor or does she need him to ask for the exams in order to do them? Is it possible to start all of them prior to the certified visa doctor appointment and just take the results with her? If it is, how long are the exams valid for?

We applied for the visa April 19 and She has a medical appointment next Friday, we would like to know if its possible because if so, she may ask the doctor to require everything so she can get everything ready for the future medical visa interview.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi! I contacted the US Embassy in Rio before and they said that the medical examination as well the police certificates are valid for 1 year, it doesn't matter if on the police certificates it says it is only valid for 90 days, it is valid during 1 year for the embassy purposes. You can take a look at this link to check on the certified embassy doctors: http://www.embaixadaamericana.org.br/pdfs/InstrExmMedMarco2010.pdf

You can contact the doctor to see what shots they require (changes depending on her age, where she lives and so), she is also gonna have to get a blood test from a certain lab or at the doctor's appointment and as well a lungs X-ray.

Well, I am CR-1 Visa but I guess I can help you with some topics, not all them though. I was told NVC schedules interviews for the CR-1 cases not K-1, only the embassy schedules interviews for fiancee visas.

You can track my case on DHL put EXP 16 may 2011a and select the dates: 05/16/11 as far and you will see it

A friend I made here have had his interview yesterday and consulate said it is up 2 weeks.

Good luck! You will have your interview date assigned very soon!

Hi Caroline! Thank you for the reply! You're right about that, I guess many people must be confused because there are some posts saying that the NVC schedules the interview with the embassy, I just called them and the operator told me that the NVC doesn't schedule the interviews for K-1 though! The embassy is the one who does that and my petition was sent out last friday so I really hope to get my interview date soon!!! Just too anxious!!!I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about! lol

Thank you very much and good luck to all of us!!!

Hi Inky! Thank you for the quick reply, however I have already looked at the flowchart before but it still doesn't answer my questions...it is too vague...i.e. It doesn't say anything about this "electronically forwarded to the Embassy" thing and neither if the NVC can tell me my interview date or if only the Embassy can tell me that.

Maybe I'm just too anxious and I should wait till the end of this week to give the NVC a call again.

Hello everyone! So, I have a couple of questions regarding the K-1 process after the NOA2, I don't know if it is only to me or if you guys feel the same, but now it seems more confusing than before.

1st - We called NVC and they gave us our case number and said our process was forwarded to the Embassy in Brazil, so I e-mailed the embassy to see if they could give me the interview date prior to the packet arriving, what they replied was that "the case was electronically forwarded" to them and we did not have an interview date yet scheduled. So, does it mean that physically our process is still at the NVC? And "to be sent electronically to the Embassy" means that it is on the Embassy system waiting for them to schedule the interview?

2nd - Another question is, please correct me if I'm wrong, as far as I know the NVC is the one who contacts the embassy and schedule the interview date, so when our packet lives to Brazil the date is suposed to be already scheduled, right?! That being said, can the NVC tell us what date our interview was scheduled for?

3rd - I've seen some people saying that they could track their cases on the DHL website, through "Tracking By Shipper's Reference", however I've tried doing it and I couldn't find any case forwarded to Brazil on May, does anyone know how to track the cases sent to Brazil? I don't really get what should I use as "* Shipper´s Reference" I tried what I've seen in some posts like "EXP MAY 2011A" but it doesn't seem to work!

4th - I guess this doubt would be more directed to the Brazilians who have been through the K-1 process before, I would like to know if you guys know what would be the average time to get the passport with the visa stamped back after it is approved?! I am just not sure how long after the interview date I should schedule my flight, I wish I could schedule for the same day lol Oh yeah, I live in Rio de Janeiro, so maybe it would be fast!? Please someone enlighten me!!!

Any help would be really appreciated!!!

Thank you all in advance!

Congratulations!!!! We are all on the final lap!!!! Very soon we'll be with the ones we love!!!!
