So my mother is a us resident and wants to petition for me. Since I'm an 'adult unmarried child's I don't know what the process is. Any help with similar cases please. Thank you
Hi all, heres my situation..me and my usc were together for 3.5 years, married for 10 months and got my conditional green card 2 months ago. Genuine relationship but it's falling apart and we might be headed for a divorce. I gave up my visa for the green card so can't go back to it now, not from inside the US at least. I want to hear if anyone has any thoughts on if what divorce waiver might look like due to it happening so soon after i got the green card.
My husband (Canadian) and I (American) got married in July and are now starting to fill out the I-130 to start his immigration process! We've reached the proof-of-marriage step and are stumped, so I am looking for some help!
Currently, we live completely separately. He's in Canada, and I'm in America (Virginia). If we file now, we will only have affidavits as proof of marriage, but I've seen from other posts that this is often not enough. On these same posts, most said you should show proof of combined financials.
My question is, how can we combine our financials in any way while living in separate countries?
I-601 WAIVER WAITING ABROAD
TEXAS SCOPS (SRC)
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY BREAK THIS UP (ABROAD VS USA ) INTO DIFFERENT SECTIONS ?
I heard SCOPS is supposed to take abroad only, but I’ve seen some post from people that have I-485 saying there was at SCOPS?
My understanding is once a waiver gets sent out, it’s just in line so first come first serve essentially.
Any info is appreciated
Hi everyone,
I would appreciate your advice before making an important immigration decision.
I am currently waiting for a decision on my U-Visa application, which has been pending for about four years. I have already received my Employment Authorization Document (EAD).
I am now seriously considering applying for an EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW). I have an MBA that I earned in 2012, and I have been working in the U.S. healthcare sector since 2020. My experience includes working as an EHR Implementation Consultant and, more recently, in healthcare records quality improvement.
My questions are:
Can I file an EB-2 NIW petition while my U-Visa application is still pending?
Are there any potential immigration implications or complications associated with pursuing both cases simultaneously?
If I receive approval for the EB-2 NIW petition, how might that affect my pending U-Visa case or my ability to adjust my status?
I understand that every case is different, but I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation or has relevant experience.
Thank you in advance for your insights and candid advice!
Hello. I’m a DACA recipient since the beginning of the program. No criminal record, full time employed, have legal entry with tourist visa. I submitted my DACA renewal 2 months ago and did my biometrics 1 month ago and it’s been crickets since. I have the opportunity to adjust status through my citizen son whom just recently turned 21. Should I just file for adjustment of status now and see which one gets approved first? I’m nervous my DACA won’t get approved on time, expires 1/15. I know people have been getting approved quickly recently but I wasn’t one of those lucky ones. What are the chances my adjustment of status could get approved fast?
Hello,
I'm inquiring about a change of status (COS) query. I'm currently on a pending B2 (COS from H1B). I'd like to know if it's possible to move to F1 or file for a COS to F1, while the B2 is pending and enroll in an Artificial Intelligence program to make the best use of my time?
Thanks in advance.
My moms visa was just revoked yesterday after obtaining it back on 2023 and having successful trips to the US to come spend a few months with my and her grandchildren. She is a citizen from Spain but her ESTA was denied in 2022 because 26 years ago she had an asylum process here in the US from our home country when I was little. She eventually dropped the case and returned home after my dad died from Cancer and I was alone. Anyway - since she was denied ESTA for this reason she requested her visa B1/B2 in September. The officer placed her application under admin processing because of her asylum case and took her finger prints and after 4 days she got her visa. Then yesterday she got this email:
Dear U.S. Visa Holder,
Your U.S. visa has been revoked under section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act by the U.S. Department of State. This action is based on the fact that after visa issuance, information has come to light indicating that you may be ineligible for your visa. If you are still physically present in the United States at this time, the visa revocation will become effective upon your departure from the United States. If you are not still physically present in the United States at this time, the visa revocation is effective immediately.
Im devasted. She only uses the visa for coming to spend a few months (once per year) with us well before her allowed time. she is 63 years old and with no intent of staying in the US. Has anyone had this happened and being able to obtain a visa back?>
So, in 2018 I was arrested for possession of class B following a malicious allegation, was throughly searched, found to have done nothing wrong and released. 2 years ago I was suicidal and took an overdoes of coca cola.
Long story short, am I cooked? I have since got my life together, met the love of my life, got engaged and want to apply for an esta then a k1 visa later next year. I am from the UK.
I applied with what I thought was a large lawfirm to help us with immigration filing because the process is daunting and I didnt trust myself to not mess up some kind of paperwork.
That lawyer delayed our I-130 application 3 months. I let that go but then ignored us and wouldn't respond if I asked any questions or anything. Sometimes for weeks and then Id email again and get a "I received you email Ill respond in a few days. Im patient so I dont push or harass. Weeks later I email again and get a few sentences kinda answering part of one question and that addressing anything else.
My wife's I-130 was finally submitted November 12 2025.
I switched and let them go when the Immigration Pause happened and they ignored my email again for 2 weeks and then didnt answer a single thing or offer to alleviate our anxiety. I found another closer more local Lawyer. Did consultation. He talked to my wife and me in a video call. I had the other law firm send over our case file. They released me as a client when I asked for that so I could do the consultation at the other firm here in Texas.
The new lawyer was friendly enough and I thought took me on. I asked what else we needed to do and was told to wait. Few months and I ask some questions in a email and he kinda answers one question or two but not all of them. He mostly responded with short quick non helpful asnwers. Alot of waiting and not alot of help when I try to talk to him about the process. One time I said hey I got a letter format from AI I was gunna use to write a letter to our congress representatives. Then he gave me 3 full paragraphs panicking I said the word AI. I told him I was just getting the formatting and writing all my own words. Im blue collar. I dont know legal letter format or how to make it professional so they will actually read it.
Well I ended up abandoning that since he said it was a big no no and was told to wait.
Now Im asking him questions again because theres updates to all these cases and he kept telling me not to trust Reddit or anything else and if I had questions to ask him. So I did. I asked. And keep getting 1 sentence responses. Not even formally addressing me.
Today he responded by telling me Im not his client and we never signed any paperwork to take me on and he reviewed our old email and we have no case and no case was started....Im about to lose my mind. Ive flown to Pakistan like 3 times. About to fly a 4th time. Im building so much debt for this.
I just want someone to give me something. Alleviate some of this anxiety. Take some pressure off. OMG I dont know why its like this. Ive seen lawyer shows. I thought they were supposed to be professional?
Shit I know lawyers in Criminal Prosecution for Fort Worth. We went to school together. She has more professionalism in one finger than Ive experienced with immigration lawyers.
Do I really need a lawyer? Can someone recommend a actually good lawyer who answered questions and cares about their clients?
I'm about to apply for another family visa and I got approval from work to work remote out there for 3 months so my wife and I can be together.
Someone told me the average processing time for I-130 in Pakistan is like 15 months. That puts us in February March timing. But.. everything I see in Reddit and online makes me think this will take longer than 15 months just for processing this step. I dont even know whats after this step. Can someone please help me?
