Help with CR-1

1. I do not understand either. You think they are going to stop her at the airport?

5. She does not need to go to the Interview and like others have said there should be no problem making trips over whilst you are waiting.

The obvious thing would be to wait and DCF, that would minimise time apart.

American to wed Mexican

Lorena lives in Mexico and Applied for the CR1 Visa.

She can not apply.

I was thinking of getting the fiancé Visa but would she be required to live in the U.S. for one year after marriage

Not so

or will she be able to return to Mexico after only one month in the U.S.?

She can return after one day if she wants to.

If we divorce, would I be financially responsible to pay all her bills along with any bills for her two children (aged 20, 22) for 10 years after the divorce?

No

Is there something I should do or bring with me to start the process of marriage?

That would depend on what the Mexican Authorities require.

American to wed Mexican

I am going to suggest you talk with an Immigration Lawyer.

You are her financial sponsor, she never needs to work if she does not want to.

You would be her sponsor until she does 40 quarters of SS contributions, becomes a US Citizen, dies or leaves the country.

American to wed Mexican

First you need to read the guides.

She could obtain a job with a company who would sponsor her, assuming she is suitably qualified.

And yes, if you marry and she gets here through that route you will be her Financial Sponsor.

It does not really matter that you can not submit a waiver in anticipation of a declined visa, it is what it is and it does make sense.

I am going to assume that she was told she had no chance of getting a Visitors Visa, which sounds right.

K3 has been dead for sometime. Sounds like the lawyer did not know that?

but it will be very difficulty to say that staying in Germany is a hardship. As the lawyer said, if my wife was in a third world country or somewhere that she was endangered, or homeless without a chance where she was, then the chances of getting a waiver would be greater, but coming from a European country it will probably not happen, so we are looking at a three year wait.

This suggests to me that you saw a lawyer who does not do very many waivers.

Logically that sounds like it should be right. Reality is different.

By far the easiest is Mexico, I guess a 2nd World Country. In the next category I would put Consulates such as Frankfurt.

It is an English Comprehension test, you need a document that says the right things whether they are particularly true or not. You have a choice, DIY if you are of the ilk that will do the research or if you appoint a Lawyer make sure it is one who does this for a living, not a sideline.

I don't believe so. If she signed a document cancelling her entry request then she wasn't even "refused entry" as she effectively withdrew her request and returned home.

Unfortunately not:

You have been determined to be inadmissible under section212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the INA;

I have no idea what the previous poster is trying to say, ignoring it, if you can understand it, would also be my recommendation.

I missed the bit about the quoted numbers, your Lawyer will confirm the ban so there is also the Waiver. You can do all the prep work in advance so you can submit a waiver when she is refused a visa. See www.immigrate2us.net for waivers.

You might as well talk to one of the recommended Lawyers on that site.

Sounds like she was refused entry rather than deported so no need for a waiver.

The actual coding they used will tell you one way or another.

It should be a fairly straightforward IR1, usually DCF is quicker if you can show German residence. Sounds like you are now US based.

If a waiver is needed then it will add time, cost and other issues. I certainly would spend the money to at least have a one time consultation with a US lawyer.

For others GC's used to be issued with no expiry date, however as has been pointed out the clue is in the name, you have to permanently reside in the US.

Omission is when you leave something out, this scenario is specifically answering the question with a lie.

does my old immigration case affect my new one ?

I wonder if it was an old 245i case.

Anyway the important thing is that when you left you had a valid I 94 to hand in, that you maintained legal status during your time in the US.

Otherwise you will be looking at also needing a waiver for illegal presence.

The comment was made by a very well respected immigration lawyer.

I have no claim to authorship.

That is one factor, I saw others.

For people unfamiliar with the process and who have issues an initial consult with a Lawyer is always a good idea even if they then DIY.
