After the riot broke out in 1998, my family no longer want to stay in Burma. So , my mother who had her younger immidiate sister in U.S.A applied Immigrant Visa also konwn as F-4 visa through her sister in U.S.A who is the citizen there. She helped my family applied that category of visa and we were acknowledged that we have to wait until the time has come which usually takes about 10 to 12 years. So we were waiting the time to immigrate to U.S. But at that time one of my elder sisters is going to turn 21 and she couldn't be able to accompany. So she planed to go first as a student visa and my parents sent her first spending a lot. And then we were longing for the visa. In 2002, we received the letter of producers to do to immigrate to U.S.A.we perpared and sold some properties to go. But my wicked aunty and Uncle denied to send me the Affidavi of Support also konwn as I 864, t go to Embassy for our visa. So what? our long time plan and all our dreams were disappeared.suprised my Aunt

Does anyone understand this question or is it just me?

You can definitely re-apply but the chances of getting one are quite small. It basically depends on why it was canceled.\n\nYou need to prove to the consular officer that the reason why the visa was canceled no longer applies. \nIf you were denied for say not having money that would be something that you could prove that it no longer applies.\n\nOn the other hand if you broke the law (i.e. worked illegally ) that would not be something that you could prove that no longer applies. You would have to wait several years before being able to get a new visa.

why? I tell you why. When you apply for the american visa (the passport is really easy to get) the u.s. goverment ask for WAY TOO MANY things such a: prove you work in mexico, how much you get paid, do you own your house, what kind of job do you do? etc etc. Last time I had to apply for my visa they even asked the name of my freaking dog!!!! seriously, it doesnt matter if you have a great job, if you own your house, if you rent, if you are a decent person,  if the customs officer thinks you are ugly, if he is hungry, if you dont speak enough english to be able to answer their questions or just because he is moody, then they  wont give you the visa! I hate the fact that "gringos" think that the illegal people in the US are only mexicans HELLO???? what about people from el salvador, argentina, peru, etc? I'm mexican and I'm very afraid to cross the border these days when I see in the news that stupid gringos (not calling everyone stupid ok?)are burning mexican restaurants up, are burning my mexican flag and talk s*hit about all mexicans like we all want to be working in the united states. BS! I have a great job in mexico, I'm staying in the US at the moment because I'm staying with my bf for a few weeks(yeah, I cross the border like 4 days a week and yes i have my permit to stay in the states for six months) and believe me: I love my job and I dont want to be in the states working as a secretary or even worse at mcdonalds!  I think people from my country go to the US because their local goverment dont do s*hit to improve their situation and all the want is a better life for them and their families and for some reason they hear great things about US that they want to live "the american dream". I feel so bad for all those who work with a fake ID because they live afraid of the border patrol but in the other hand, they think that is the only way to make some money to have food on their tables and yes, send some money to those who are still living in mexican hell. it really depends on the state you live in. I'm in Baja California and life here is better, there are jobs for everyone but if those who go to the states dont stay here is because they didnt even finish elementary school and unfortunately that is a requirement for the simple jobs. so, if they cross the border to go to US, they dont even have to read to pick up tomatos or corn... And for those who said the illegals dont want to pay taxes... how are they going to pay taxes if the have right for nothing in the states? and I dont think they are bad for your country or your economy at all. they do all the job that people in the states refuse to do :)\nyou should get those terrorists that want to destroy your country instead of the poor people that are making posible for you to have fresh veggies on your table or making burritos for you.

Your status (as stated above) will not change and will remain the same as the day he walked out that door! Additionally, If you have reached the age of majority (18 yoa) your status will rely 100% on your actions!! not your fathers!\n\nBy the way...where are you now and what is your immigration classification? From your statement, you should of also receive your Green Card as a Family Preference Alien...are you just trying to get a free ticket to citizenship??

well it all depends on how many applications they are processing at that particular consulate...also many factors come into play ...like the complete application submission, her qualifications, and ofcourse fingerprint and background check...she will definitely have wait anywhere from 12-20 months for approval of her case....she might even have to go for an interview if the CIC feels she does not have sufficient evidence for her skilled worker category immigration.

This is a question that you should absolutely pay an immigration attorney to handle.\n\nFirst, consider that the person is NOW here ILLEGALLY!!\n\nIt would be like he or she only got married for citizenship and that is scrutinized as a typical ruse for entry.\n\nAlso, consider the country the person is from; is it a country considered "friendly" to the USA.  The fact that the person is on a VISA means that they are not from one of the 27 countries that is less restricted for entrance into the USA.\n\nI have a friend from Canada (no visa necessary)who was back and forth for 7 years "courting" the American she just married (there was a provable track record of a long term love relationship and still they had to show proof) AND SHE WAS HERE LEGALLY (having never overstayed the 3 mo. time limit). Also, prior to marriage they consulted an attorney who specializes in this so that they wouldn't make any wrong moves thru ignorance that could prevent her citizenship.\n\nOne requirement is that she cannot travel to see her family for 4 mo. (must remain in the USA) while the paperwork is being processed and it is not known how long this process will take.

It takes a loooooong time. They dont generally exaggerate a whole lot on the websites. That is based on when it is a busy period, but I think it probably takes a little bit less. Good Luck with the immigration process.

You have to leave and reenter the country, because you become an illegal immigrant as soon as you I-94 expires. The I-94 supercedes your you visa. The visa allows you to enter the US until 2008, the I-94 regulates the length of each visit.  You didn't get until 2008 because you probably have a tourist visa.\nOr you can apply for permanent residency.

It sounds like you are saying that a US citizen is petitioning you to come to the US on a fiancee visa.  If that is the case, his being involved in a high speed chase and imprisoned would not affect your ability to get a visa.  Keep in mind that the consular officer who interviews you will probably know if the petitioner (your fiancee) has a criminal record and may ask you about this.  Please be careful and make sure you know your fiancee well (through personal meetings, not just internet chat) before proceeding to immigrate.

Done it. It's just time consuming filling out the forms trying to remember stupid stuff like when you met her dad, etc. Really stupid bureaucratic nonsensical questions. Also, if you have half a brain, you do not need to hire a lawyer to do this. It's not all that difficult to fill out.\n\nMain thing is the police background check in her country and the medical checkup are a pain. Also, the marriage certificate, if in another language you need the translation notarized (you can get that done easily and cheaper at the Cdn Embassy or Consulate in her country). \n\nOnce you got all the paperwork done expect it to take 6 months to a year. We had our act together, got it all done and received the visa in 4 months. Hate to say this but many people are idiots who have no clue which is why it takes them longer or they don't get the visa.

Yes it should be possible ,however, it will be difficult. You can go to the US embassy and apply.\n\nThe fact that a long time has passed since you were last in the US is a plus but be prepared to answer a lot of questions. Why was your visa canceled ? make sure you have a good story for this. Most importantly why are going back ? also must have a very good reason. Most important of all, you must show proof of ties to your country, which in your case must be very strong. What country are you from ? If you are from a poor country you chances are automatically smaller.\n\nAlso it's very important to be nice to the visa officer. Only answer questions directly and don't go into long stories or get emotional (I've seen way too many people do this). It's important to know that the visa officer can deny your visa application simply because they don't like you, similarly, they can grant you one only because they do like you \n\nGood luck.

That may not be so easy. I am not a lawyer, but I had to study this a lot not so long ago because of my status (today, legal alien, permanent resident). First, you never mentioned how she got into the country. Is she legal? Is she a permanent legal resident?

Well she is now illegal in this country! The whole thing about the k1 visa is that she has to marry you to legalize or adjust her status! If you two are already married, she is supposed to have condition residence until you both apply to remove those conditions after two years ! So if she left, her green card is only good for two years! Which brings me back to my point! She will be illegal after two years.Notify USBCIS on the situation! If you have already done the I-751( Petition to Remove conditions on permanent residence) Regardless if you signed I-864 ( Affidavit Of Support) I am afraid there is nothing you can do if she doesn't want to come home. Still notify USBCIS on the situation though! What sucks is you still me responsible for them after divorce! Re read the form and get a lawyer! Sorry man , but good luck!

Firstly, I must say that my wife and I have never regretted engaging an immigration attorney.  It made everything so much easier.  They can help with filing the petition, adjustment of status, work permit application and citizenship.  It will cost several thousand dollars over the course of about 3-4 years but, in my view, it was worth every last penny.  If you file something wrong they will send it back and you will go to the end of the queue.\n\nMy fiancee filed the petition in June 2001 (Vermont SC) and was approved about three weeks later.  I got the appointment at the doctor and the embassy in mid-October 2001 and was on the plane on Hallowe'en.  As embassies go, I gather London is one of the better ones, both in terms of getting an appointment and on the day you go there.  However, you should travel light, if you can.  Take a book to read - I was there for five hours and spent about 15 minutes actually doing something.  Have you found the US Embassy's London website yet?  It gives lots of good advice.  See the link below.  I also found the helplines well worth the money.  It's the same cost as calling an adult chatline, but much more satisfying!\n\nYou will have to keep on top of the paperwork at your end(police certificate and innoculations - sort out your innoculations NOW) it will be fairly pain-free (except the jabs of course!)\n\nOnce you are here you should get married as soon as possible so that you can apply for adjustment of status and work permit.  My wife and I did a very quick civil ceremony in front of the Mayor and then did the big wedding a few months later when we had time to plan everything.  I was able to work fairly soon because, for some reason, the immigration officer stamped my passport allowing me to work pending issuance of a work permit.  I gather that happens very rarely, so don't bank on it.  If I did not have that, I would have waited about four months for my work permit. \n\nPlease be aware that time scales vary greatly depending on which service center your file goes to.  I got lucky with Vermont - the other three generallyhave longer delays.  Go to the link below to see what the processing times are.  You can get that information without registering at the site.  I must observe that I got all my appointments or responses ahead of the posted times.\n\nAnyway, I hope this, and the other answers you will get, will help you.  You are about to enter a period of your life which can get quite stressful at times.  For instance you cannot usually visit the USA whilst your petition is pending.  All you can do is focus on the "prize."  For me, the prize is being able to take my lovely wife to an expensive restaurant tonight for our fifth wedding anniversary.  Good luck and welcome to the Land of Opportunity.

Recently, the U.S. has updated its visa policies to increase security for our citizens and visitors. It will likely take you longer to get a visa than it used to, and you will find that a few new security measures have been put into place. For details that may apply specifically to your country, see information posted by your nearest consulate or embassy. \n\nSee the following web site for more information:\n\nhttp://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/obtainingvisa/index.html

You got married so you lost your chance to come to the USA through the I-130 petition your father filed. Even if it gets approved,t he consulate will never let you come in when they find out about your marriage. There is one solution to your problem. If your father has been a resident for at least 4 yrs and 9 months, then he should go ahead and file for citizenship so that he can petition you. Once your father has been granted citizenship, then you should attach a copy of your I-130 receipt with a copy of your father's certificate of naturalization or a copy of his new US passport and a copy of your marriage certificate and your child's birth certificate asking them to change your category to " married son or daughter of a US citizen". Your mother and brother and younger sister should also mail a copy of proof of your father's naturalization and your father should follow up by calling the USCIS hotline to make sure they matched up the new evidence to their file and are processing their cases under the new faster category.\n\nOtherwise, ask your father if he can find you an employer in the US that can sponsor you or your husband for a labor certification, if you are a semi-skilled or skilled worker. That way you could come to the US through employment sponsorship. You will need an immigration lawyer to help. \n\nDon't listen to the hate filled idiots like the one above telling you to stay home. Obviously you are looking to do this the legal way, only an idiot can not see that. good luck.
