visa case update is still refused
hi all, as some of you know our visa was refused and we were asked to send additional documents ( my birth certificate) the one we presented at the interview wasn’t accepted so we had to get an original, we sent that on 6/19/2022. Since then I have been checking the ceac for the status and it has been updated 3 times and both time it still says REFUSED. first it was updated on 6/22/2022 the second 6/27/2022 and the third time it was updated today and still says refused. should I be concerned? has anyone ever gone through this before??
TPS Approved & AOS
Hello everyone, regarding the memorandum about the TPS policy on admissibility that was just released on July 1st, advising that we can now apply for a travel permit instead of advance parole to travel outside the US and when returning we would be admitted with a legal status (erasing any illegal entry or overstayed visa) so those with possibilities of adjustment of status (TPS approved with family, marriage o employment based petitions) will now be allow to do it without leaving the country for a consular process, it might be too soon to know because the immigration laws are sometimes complicated to interpret, but here is my question: I entered the US legally but I overstayed my B2 visa for 10 days, I have a TPS approved and I130 family based F2B approved (unmarried son over 21 of a permanent resident), now, with this USCIS decision I wouldn't have to apply for a waiver due to my overstay nor will I have to travel outside to a consulate for an adjustment of status, does this process still goes to the NVC in order for a visa number to become available? Even if I'm already in the US with lawful status.
US Citizen Petitioning “Married” Brother
Hi guys, I need your advice. As a US citizen I am planning to petition my brother, however, he is still legally “married,” but separated from her previous wife. He is in a relationship with another woman. How do I handle that situation in terms of the documents from him that I have to summit in the application? Do I still need to include his current marriage certificate? Do I still list him as a married person? How this situation affects the process? What documents from him do I include? By the way, he has an unmarried daughter with her previous wife who is over 21 years who does not leave with him, do I include her in the petition process?
Your advice will be very helpful; thank you all.
Nikah Nama lost
I'm petitioning an IR5 for my parents, who are both elderly and got married 40 years ago. We can't find their Nikah Nama. I've visited all possible govt offices in hopes of finding it, including the suspected UC where they think it was filed, and also old record rooms of Karachi, but it is nowhere to be found.
Since a nikah nama is a requirement for pakistan, what is the best course of action? Has someone else faced this before? I've been advised to visit a qazi and draw up a new nikah nama with an affidavit from Nikah Registrar stating that the original is lost. It will not be the same Nikah Registrar as he has passed away.
Are there any success stories with similar situation as mine? And what has been done in those cases? And what has been the best course of action?
