Get divorced asap and let him deal with his issues.

I think they were talking about DCF.

I have not heard that they are picky in Canada about proof of meeting.

You need a US Domicile rather than residence, and you will by the sound of it need a co sponsor.

I would have thought there was little if any risk of getting married in Canada.

She had a bad, she has a ban, she will have a ban until at least 10 years from the date of her departure.

She will need a waiver.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOverstay as minor, able to file k-1?
She is not being banned, she has been banned.

If for example she had as she should have done applied for a B2 she would have also needed a d3 waiver.

But that would only have been for non immigrant purposes, if she sought to adjust she would need an immigrant waiver.

I do not know if there will be a misrep possible charge from using the VWP.

I am going to guess there was a new passport involved so her prior presence was somehow missed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOverstay as minor, able to file k-1?

Yes. That's what I said. You must stay to complete the AOS though. Don't leave, even with advance parole.

Some context would help. If he/she stays to adjust status there is no ban. Bans are for people who are outside the USA. Waiver apply only after a ban is determined. You can't ban somebody from entering, when they are already here.

She left, the ban came into effect.

There is mention of an E2 so I am assuming she was in status until 21, but having left at 23 there would be a 10 year ban for illegal presence.

She then was able to renter on the VWP, another issue.

If she had stayed having entered legally I would agree she would have been able to adjust normally.

Usually I agree with your posts but there are 2 things here I do not:

From the London consulate web site:

those who have been refused admission into, or have been deported from, the United States, or have previously overstayed on the VWP are not eligible to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program

Now the INA I have not checked.

The overstay ban kicks in as soon as you leave, no need for their to be a finding, that would apply in D/S cases.

You have a 10 year ban for the overstay.

You used the VWP when not eligible to do so.

VWP is 90 days or nothing.

Whether you stay a week or 89 days it does not matter.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForm I-134
K1

One option would be to self sponsor, London allows that, I do not think Dublin does.

CR1

I assume the children are well under 25 otherwise you could have other issues.

Certainly a co sponsor would be simpler, as far as child support I think every case I have seen has shown the child support being paid to the USC. And usually that can be counted, you need evidence it has been ordered and received.

I assume the father has no issues with the emigration. There is a degree of subjectivity on what the Consulate will accept, I see the negatives as he is outside US jurisdiction and I presume the amount ordered is in Euros rather than Dollars? On the other hand it is well in excess of the requirements.

Given the option I would go with co sponsor and then you have a choice of which route you do and greater certainty.
BoilerMaleWales2012-11-06 16:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForm I-134
Assuming the father is not eligible to be a sponsor then his contribution is not relevant.

A sponsor just needs to be a USC or LPR. It is detailed on the 864 form.

Ok. Well thank you both but now I'm confused. Is there a chance that the waiver might not even be required? And if it is I should DEFINITELY contact a lawyer right? I shouldn't attempt to process a waiver on my own?


I agree with the above and would add:

Definitely required.

Some DIY but you have little time to do the research.

Chat Transcript February 8, 2012

Moderation starts.

Laurel(P) Good morning everyone.

Laurel(P) I've posted last week's chat. On it I made several comments about what's happening in CDJ and how we, the attorneys, aren't really sure what's going on or what to expect next. I have no meaningful updates to what I wrote last week in that regard. We are still confused and don't know what to expect. I am getting reports from other attorneys that they are doing many consultations for people who had a different attorney and got referred and, based on the language of the referral notice, believe their prior attorney was incompetent. Please do not put too much faith in the language of the referral notice. The notices ALWAYS say that the case was not proven and not enough evidence was submitted. The truth is, they probably didn't even look at it. I'm not saying that you should not update your case; I am only saying that the statements made in the referral noticfe may be false.

Laurel(P) It does appear at least that CDJ is making strides in resolving the bubble of cases created during the staffing shortage that occurred in CDJ in the latter half of 2011. That's not to say they are approving all the cases; merely that they are finally communicating with the applicants, letting them know that the case is referred and that it is in the system.

Laurel(P) Generally speaking, attorneys are reporting across-the-board referrals. But when it gets to the new locations, sometimes we are seeing fast approvals. So we're not really sure what's happening.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFriend Pregnant
It would never occur to me that pregnancy would be a reason to expedite.

Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met. The criteria are as follows:

Severe financial loss to company or individual
Extreme emergent situation
Humanitarian situation
Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
USCIS error
Compelling interest of USCIS


Remember that these apply to all categories, not just spouses.
