IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshusbands Tattoo ?

Members of the New Mexican Mafia must incorporate a skull, double skull, double "MM" and flames around a circle into their tattoos.

The double M must curve downward and cross at the bottom. This signifies that the member has crossed over from the original Mexican Mafia to the New Mexican Mafia, if he was a member of the former.

The large flames are to lean counter-clockwise and be partially shaded. The small flames lean clockwise and are supposed to be completely shaded.

The rose signifies that the member has successfully completed an assault on his "enemies" and it is considered the highest honor a member can obtain.

You may not know what it means, I am sure your Husband does.

 

And if it is gang related the Consulate will.

Should have said that with a K1 under your belt and having got married I would not worry about approval.

K3's are usually administratively closed and you get the CR1, which is a better bet.

 

I would agree with a year or so being as good a guess as any. You may have read that Obama has mentioned executive action which could extend timing significantly.

You answer truthfully, give all the information available. If the court records are no longer available then it will be up to the Consulate as to what they will do next.

You originally said that nobody knows about this and it was clear self defence etc.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 Taxes for NVC Red Flag
Head of Household

Filing as head of household usually results in a lower tax
than filing singly or married filing separately. You can file
as head of household if you are single or unmarried, paid
more than half the cost of keeping up a home, and had a
qualifying child or qualifying relative that lived with you in
the home for more than half the year. But if the qualifying
relative is your parent, he or she does not have to live
with you. You must be able to claim an exemption for the
parent, and you must pay more than half of the cost of
the parent's household expenses.

If you are married you can file as head of household if
you can be considered unmarried. All of the following
must be true:

You and your spouse file separately.
You pay more than 50% of the expenses of maintaining
the household.
Your spouse did not live in the home for the last 6 months
of the year.
The household is the principal home of a qualifying
person or child.
You can claim an exemption for a qualifying person or
child.

You can also file as head of household if your spouse
was a nonresident alien at any time during the year.
However, your spouse does not count as a qualifying
person. You must have another person and meet all the
other tests to qualify for head of household.

But u cant file married if your spouse has never been in the states and if they did not live with you 6months out of the year. A lot depends on what has gone on in the last year your filing for.

This sort of situation is actually very common, you can look at other posts involving men usually from MENA countries where the wife/girlfriend is much younger, has children, different religion and usually poor and divorced.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed feedback with interesting case

wow boiler, no need for harsh comments.. my husband also was brought as a child and he knew he was mexican and that he was here illegally but he didnt want to leave his family behind as that is something very hard and it is still hard for him being away from his family.. its not his fault that he was brought illegally but it is his fault that he stayed after turning 18, if my husband or i would have known that leaving to mexico before he turned 18 gave him a better chance then he would have definately left before turning 18 but we didnt know that until we got married and filing his paperwork.. but he is very honest... but back to trhe topic magical is very right.. juarez from what i have heard is pretty good with waivers. you have to prove hardships like medical reasons, financial reason, humanitarian reasons and how thisd would affect them or the child if his visa were to be denied.


That is at least honest, you role the dice you take your chances.

Well I never lived illegally in another country but I did have a passport from the age of 10 ish and knew that I needed documentation to visit another county. I remember that when we stayed in Hotels in France they would take the passports to register them at the local police station.

So we are to believe that he did not know he was not Mexican? I guess in some very weird cases it is possible but generally he would have to be very stupid or you expect us to be.

The Student Visa sounds the current best bet.

I think most people on here have issues with AFU's objectives, they are more focussed on EWI's.

It is the lack of profiling that causes the net to be spread wide and a lot more caught in it than would otherwise be the case.
