He is Immigrating to Australia to be with me here and we just want to start our life and marriage together not in seperate Hemisphere's. He applied for a Spouse Visa in Amman, Jordan September 29th 2005.  We were told on average 22 weeks, well that time has well and truly past. I have emailed them many times, mostly with no response. He has completed everything they have ask, including Payment, Blood Tests, Police/Security Clearance, Medical Examination etc which were all good. I really don't know who I can contact here to get support. Any ideas would be great appreciated. I cannot get help via Immigration here as it is an off-shore Application. I have called Immigration in Australia twice with general questions.

You may have no choice but to wait on this unless the Australian immigration dept. has an online site wheere you can make enquiry or see the status of applications. This is your tax dollars working for you....patience may be the only thing here. This is why alot of pple opt to use attroneys because they are familiar with the system and usually have "inside" contacts taht can brief them on status changes/updates......

It's almost impossible to get a visa just to visit USA from certain countries. If he doesn't have American citizenship, I'm not sure what his options are. \nIf he is American, he either needs to come there to live with you or at least get married there, and then you can go to the American embassy in your country & apply for a petition for an alien relative. You will be asked questions at the petition interview to make sure the relationship is a real marriage. If they determine it is, they will approve your application. Then you can get an appointment @  the embassy for an interview for a visa. Remember your husband is your sponsor and has to show 3 years of income tax returns to prove he can support you here.\nI know these facts are true because my husband is egyptian and we just went through this process. We got the petition and visa approved in a little less than 3 months.\nWhat is your fiance's problem that he can't go to Russia to live? Or to at least marry you there, if he loves you and wants you to come to USA to live? He has to be willing to help you in any way he can. You can't do it alone. If he won't do whatever is necessary, maybe he's not sincere with you. \nGood luck & best wishes to you.\nIf you get to come, welcome to America! It is truly beautiful!

A person who does not already have indefinite leave to remain in UK is NOT allowed to get married to a UK citizen in this country, unless they have come with a spouse visa. The person would need to go back home and apply from there - with no certainty of being accepted. They would very possibly not be accepted even if you got married somewhere else, eg his home country.\n\nWorking after six months? This was a rule that used to apply to asylum-seekers, it was abolished about four years ago, but the Home Office still sometimes issues people documents stating that they can apply for permission to work after that period.\n\nIf your friend is an asylum-seeker, he would not be able to marry you here. If he has been granted refugee staus, he MIGHT be allowed to. If he is from an EU country it will be fine, or if he already has settled status.\n\nIf not, he needs to go home and apply for the spouse visa. He would be interviewed at the British Embassy, and asked about your relationship, asked for his documentation, etc. You will have provided details to show that you can accommodate him, and that you can provide for him. All this wil take a few months to process - or a year if it's refused and you go to court to appeal.\n\nI am NOT an immigration advisor. You need to get free advice from a CAB or a Law Centre or a solicitor. Pay nothing for your initial advice. You should go together so that you both know how things stand. \n\nCheck out www.homeoffice.gov.uk\n\nGood luck!

You should go to the Egiptian Embassy in Australia and they can help you. They probably even have names of attorneys that can help you.

He would never be a citizen in another country if he would not apply for it and he should go to and inquire at the US Embassy in his country, I dont think his father could  give him the visa, only the authorities of US Embassy Consulate could process or even would be denied if his father wont support all the documents. goodluck, if his father is a citizen, its a good start,

Until he is 18 or has some kind of medical condition, you have the same chances as anyone else does. If he was born in the U.S. and you are not a citizen, but want to 'involve' his legal status in your plight regardless of the purpose, besides medical, yes tech. your son is an "anchor" baby. Otherwise there would be no reason to mention his legal status would there? If you just want a visa, what does your son's status have to do with anything?? Contact the u.s. consulate nearest you, you will find that what I am saying isn't so far fetched. How exactly did you manage to have a baby outside your country and NOT have some kind of visa in the first place?? If you did things the LEGAL way to begin with, you would already be aware of what's involved in obtaining your visa since you should have had one in the first place. AM I WRONG??

First of all he is going to have a hard time mainly because he is of a Muslim background. They will give him the run around unless he has a good reason for coming to America. You can look at the website as much as you want. They will not tell you the whole process that they will try to put him through. I have been working in Germany at the airport and had to deal with people who wanted to come to America for 5 years and I also know what they do at the American Embassy. You need to get someone who will sponsor him or that are willing to watch over him and have a place that he will stay. May I add; You and that person will under surveillance for a long time. They will also probably make a background check on you. Hope I was able to help you.

If you file from New Delhi after staying 60 days, it will only take few months for your spouse to get visa. I think it only takes about 4 months for them to process and grant visas. And yes that can only be done from New Delhi.\n\nYou can also file for petition from the states, but it will take way too much time for them to process the whole thing. My best suggestion is that if you are going to India to marry, then stay a little longer and apply from Delhi, that way you can take a vacation and won't have to wait for you spouse for a long time.

Well by just arrived, does that mean you are here on a temp Visa? \n\nMy husband is from London, he came here on a temp Visa and then we got married. Your best bet is to contact an immigration lawyer. \n\nPlease, do it legally.

Interesting question.  I have to say firstly that the fine people who answer the BCIS hotline aren't always as knowledgeable as you might think.  When I called them about my wife immigration stuff I would often call and ask the same question 2-3-4 times till I could get a constant answer.\n\nCheck out the BCIS website.  I thought there were special rules inplace for people already here (legally or not) and working such that they wouldn't have to leave the country first...maybe that was only a california thing?\n\nI 'think' you can petition for him while he's here and he can stay while the thing get sorted out.\n\nI am wanting to think there might be a job-store/day-labor place locally to you that might have some tips.  I would think the govt would be as accomodating as can be for someone who wants to work here legally and pay taxes and all that stuff....\n\ngood luck.

I married my husband (now ex) in Jan 98.  He was just visiting the US when we got married and so we had to go through all the immigration stuff to have him stay here.  Did you go to the interview alone?  If you missed the interview as well, the Immigration service will consider that an abandonment of your application.  If your application is no longer in process then your visa status may have expired - you may now be in the country illegally.  I would call an immigration attorney ASAP.

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.

Under Immigration law the US Citizen files the petition for the alien spouse.  The US Citizen can withdraw the petition at anytime prior to the government granting the permanent green card.  A two year card is a conditional (or temporary) green card.\n\nBy him telling the immigration that your marriage was "not in good faith" he has done two things:\n\nHe has withdrawn his petition for you and:\n\nHe has put it on record that you knowingly committed fraud.\n\nWhile the government may not go after you criminally (there is a chance, but a slim one), you do not have status in the US and will be required to return to your home.\n\nIf your new boyfriend marries you, then you will be fighting an uphill battle in proving to the government that this second marriage was NOT in good faith.\n\nAn important factor will be the divorce record.  You "left him" (abandoned your first husband) and you presumably engaged in immoral conduct by having a boyfriend while still legally married.\n\nIn the government's eyes you are NOT a good person.\n\nYou could fight it )request a hearing before an immigration judge), but what PROOF do you have to counter the image the government now has of you?\n\nIf you lose, then you become a "previously deported alien."  Then there is I think a 5 year bar to re-entry.\n\nThe other choice is to go home on your own and after a "respectable" period of time (i.e. AFTER your divorce) you become engaged to #2, marry and then come back on a K visa.\n\nSince your conditional green card has already expired, you are now an illegal alien (an overstay).\n\nYou won't be able to be legally employed.  Your husband can complaint to the government that you are engaged in crimes (crimes other than adultery with boyfriend such as drugs - without proof) and if he convinces an ICE agent to do so, you will be picked up.  Or they could send you a notice to appear.\n\nBy the way, in addition to being out of status (offense #1), if you did not update your address with immigration you have committed offense #2 and possibly more.\n\nThis is time sensitive.  Your decision is go home on your own and return later, or go through immigration procedings and possibly be deported as undesireable.\n\nYour choice.\n\nAnd don't further your image with the government by lying.

check with the laws on it... you may have an issue as most visas do have a time frame involved.Check with the place you got your visa
