Are you trying to bring him to visit or permanently ?\n\nYou have 3 options if you want to bring him permanently:\n\n1) He can apply under the skilled worker category (he gets points for having you there)\n2) you can sponsor him under the family immigration scheme.\n3) find him a job and he can get a work visa, in time he can apply for permanent residency.\n\nFirst 2 options will take 1-2 years. The last one is much faster.\n\nP.S. Tourist visas are rejected only if they suspect the person will try to remain illegally in Canada. Rejection rates are somewhere around 20-30% not 99!

My brother in law moved to Canada......He is from Mexico City and he went to the Canadian Embassy to inquire....He got his residence and now he lives in Canada....The process was pretty easy and just requires you to fill out the paper work.....Best of luck to you.....PS Spain is very expensive, the cost of living is much higher than in Canada....Best of luck...

It's an absolute nightmare.  There are a limited number of visas granted to British citizens each year, and they are usually snapped up within 36 hours of being available.  Usually big corporations get them for their UK employees who are working in the US.\n\nIf it's at all feasible, he might consider going to Canada first.  It is much easier for a Brit to emigrate to Canada, and it is much easier for a Canadian to emigrate to the US.\n\nGood luck.

you don't need anybody there. You apply at the Canadian embassy in the country that you live in

I understand where you are coming from with this. My husband is Canadian and the Immigration Department keeps him jumping through hoops.\n\nEver since 911, the regulations have tightened up but the keeping of his money has been a common practice for a very long time. Supporting the immigration process is a huge drain on the reserve so they have a policy of keeping money sent to them. I don't agree with it but there is nothing that can be done.\n\nThat is, nothing can be done unless you fight for it. Contact your local immigration office and file a complaint if you really want the money back. I caution you though, just like all human enterprises, even the immigration office isn't above human emotions. Anger someone and he might be put on the next plane out of here. Immigration has as much power, if not more, than the FBI. A single immigration officer has the power to make or break your case.\n\nGo through the hoops exactly as they require. EXACTLY. Do not deviate, ever. It sounds like he should have applied for citizenship, or perhaps he missed something along the way, an appointment, a letter of comformation, anything. They only need one person to say no. Your family memeber will need many people to say yes.\n\nI suggest a letter from each of the following; his employer, landlord, attny, 3 business owners, friends and family. Make copies of these letters, send them with the appeal (see website below for address), send to local mayor, Govenor, Senator and State Rep(s).\n\nMake sure he doesn't work while in denied status. You can do fund raisers through your churches or schools to help support them until this is figured out. The United Way, on the first two days of each month has money for rent/mortgages. Be first in line for them for only up to 2 times a year. \n\nI wish your family luck. Goddess Bless.

The only way it is possible is for him to obtain a Permanent Alien Resident Card (I-551).  To get this card will take "about" two years.  He will first have to apply for immigration status, and get his Temporary Alien Resident card.  Once his status goes to "Permanent", he may then join the US Army.  Also, all of his documents (education, military release, birth cert) will have be translated by a certified translator at his expense.\n\nHis rank will NOT transfer.\n\nWish I could help more.

I think you need to go to the Canadian Embassy and get legal to go there. Then just pack up and move.

He can file an I-130 for his wife.  He may be able to file in China if he is a resident there.  He would have to speak to his nearest consulate for information.  For the son, he would have to prove that the stepfather/stepson relationship started before the boy was 18 years old.  If that is the case, he can also file a I-130 for the boy as long as he does so before the boys 21st birthday.  If he waits until after the boy is 21, the boy will have to wait until his visa date is current (there is a waiting period for single children over 21 years old of about 5 years, 7 years for married any age).  \n\nIf the stepparent relationship started after the boy was 18, the wife will have to file for the boy once she gets her green card and only as long as the boy is single (waiting period of 3 years if he's under 21, more if he's over 21 when filed)  If he gets married, she will have to wait to file for him until she becomes a citizen and then the wait is about 7 years. \n\nSee travel.state.gov for complete information and contact information for the consulates and Embassies in china.

First question to you is, have you met this man in person and spent a significant amount of time with him in person?  and I mean face to face, not over the phone or webcams, etc.  If not, you want to do this first, and you might want to first visit his country if you have not done so, then next, bring him over on a tourist visa to visit you.  Internet relationships can be a great start, but the real proof is face to face, day to day.\n\nAlso, because these are very different cultures, do a lot of research on the Indian culture, so that you are well-informed.  Love does not conquer all, you need to be ready to deal with the obstacles and difficulties, and knowing what they might be will be most helpful to you.\n\nMake sure that he is not just wanting to find a way to the U.S.  A lot of Indians want to move to Canada or the U.S., and some will use marriage if they have to, to accomplish this.  You would rather be aware of this now, than later.\n\nWhen you are ready to bring him over permanently, if that is your decision, then you will want to go to the Immigration website and read through the material and fill out the application forms to go through the process.  If you need or want help, consult an immigration lawyer, preferably one with a good reputation.\n\nHere are links for you:\n\nVisa Home Page\nhttp://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html\n\nImmigration Home Page\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/

I'm not a Canadian immigrant, but I think your best option would be to apply for a spouse visa based on either being married, or planning to get married on arrival in UK. Your partner would need to be able to show that he could support and accommodate you and your son - for example by showing a few months pay-slips, and the lease or mortgage details of a suitable property.\n\n (Actually, I'm not too sure how your son would be viewed - if he was born in UK he would be a UK citizen, assuming his father was British or had permanent stay here).\n\nYou would be called to an interview at the British Embassy in Canada, where you may be asked about the nature of your relationship, how you came to know each other, etc. The process can take a couple of months. If you are refused, your partner can appeal in the courts here.\n\nThe spouse visa would be valid for two years - you would be allowed to work. At the end, if you are still married, you can apply for settlement.\n\nFor the application forms and other information check \n\nhttp//www.ind.homeoffice/applying\n\nIt would be best for you and your partner to get free advice from a solicitor, law centre, or citizens advice bureau - especially about your son's status.\n\nGood luck, hope this helps a little.

Check with the Belize embassy. If there is not one in Canada, the one in Washington, DC, can help you.

As a British citizen now in the US here is my two pence. Some options - (1) He can come as a tourist for six months at a time. He cannot legally work when he is here. Don't know your financial situation. (2) He can get a H1. He will need to have a degree and some experience and get a company in the US to sponsor him. If he has a IT / technical background and/or a Masters this is easier. (3) There are many Visa options based on his skill set eg- Highly educated and skilled or some very specialized skill. the USCI site has information on it. (4) Invest money in a US based business, employ people and get a visa to operate the business.\n\nSo the only real options is coming over is a temporary tourist or some kind of professional route.

That depends on his current status.  If he's a citizen of the U.S., he can bring his daughter by filing form I-130 with the USCIS.  If he's a Lawful Permanent Resident, he can ONLY bring his 40-year-old daughter if she is NOT married.\n\nYou can find the I-130 here:\n\nhttp://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/i-130.pdf\n\nAs for citizenship, that's something his daughter will have to apply for on her own.

Contact the Canadian Consulate, they'll tell you what you need to do, and how to do it.  Good luck!

There are several ways, but unfortunately it will be difficult.\n\n1) File for refugee status.  If you can prove that his life is in danger in his home country, he can get a visa that is on track to green card and US citizenship status.\n\n2) Help him be accepted to a US university or other educational institute.  They will support his student visa, and then once he is in the US and graduates, he will be automatically eligible to work ion the US for a year in his field of study.  After that, his company can sponsor him for a visa to stay longer.\n\n3) Help him find a job.  If a US company will sponsor him to do a job that they can't find a US citizen to do, they can sponsor him for a visa or even a green card.  I know people who have done this for telecommunications infrastructure development and I know someone who did this as a cook in an Irish Pub (in the US I live in an affluent area and there aren't a lot of cooks around).  If you have the money, you can even found your own business with an emphasis on doing business with Afghanistan, and then support him for a visa as you need and Afghan expert with contacts.  Maybe you could export handicrafts?  It would be relatively simple to set something up and you could probably find a supplier on Chicken Street pretty fast.  You don't have to very successful, just enough to justify his help (even as a start-up consultant)\n\n4) Bring him to the US on a tourist visa.  This is normally hard to get for an Afghan, but if you invite him (officially) and provide a guarantee for any expenses he incurs, then he should get it.  I know an Afghan who came to the US that way.  Once he is here, he can try looking for a job that will sponsor him.\n\n5) Hire an immigration lawyer.  They can often find ways that no one has ever thought of. Even if you just get the money together to talk to a top immigration lawyer on the phone for an hour or two, they usually deliver.  You can find immigration lawyers and some information about them at: http://lawyers.martindale.com/\n\nGood luck!
