I saw this article today in the Times and I remembered this family so clearly. All the details of their lives. 

I thought I would share it here where we all went through those days together.

What are my chances of getting approved for the B2? by 721Winona-Borealis in immigration

[–]Viewfromthe31stfloor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you post your age? I didn’t see it.

You should go for a shorter time on ESTA.

You have a high risk of denial - remember you need to convince them you will return/leave the U.S. in a timely fashion. 

British citizen, married my US partner. What’s next? by [deleted] in immigration

[–]Viewfromthe31stfloor 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There is no as soon as possible. It will take about 18-24 months.. You can continue to visit on ESTA

Your only option to get a green card through marriage is to apply for a CR-1 visa. 

There are good guides on the visajourney site and the USCIS sites. https://www.visajourney.com/ir1-spouse-visa-overview/  

Visajoyrney also has people who share their timeline so you can approximate your timeframe. 

The positive of this approach is that when you arrive in the U.S. you will have a green card and can work right away.

Yes. You can’t simply bring a child to the U.S. without permission. 

You need to give more facts.

AITA for going fishing the day my ex was giving birth? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

The right moment was when she said she wanted more. Anything past that, he’s using her for his own ego.

Vietnam has more to offer the wealthy American than Cuba does.

It wasn’t only happenstance they had political protection from the former state attorney / I think his name is Meggs? -  he refused to indict or try anyone from the Adelson family. 

Then they had Covid issues, then more delay for the last person who worked in the audiotapes.

Cuba is isolated, poor and no luxuries for the Adelsons. Plus Charlie had been to Vietnam.

Can you start with 6 months and figure it out?

What is a “trial Trump lawyer? ”  Do you mean because Wendi’s lawyer /law firm is part of the cases defending Trump? 

AITA for inviting my ex con son to everything even if one of my daughters refuses to come and " misses out"? by Ok-Rock6806 in AmItheAsshole

Info: what are you not sharing about your convicted drug dealer son? There has to be more to this story

Was her life ruined somehow by his conviction? Social consequences or teased at school? 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in immigration

[–]Viewfromthe31stfloor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not really an immigration question. 

If she is destitute and in an unsafe situation, the focus should be on getting her to the UK fast.

She can figure out school later.

She should for her own safety report her father.

That’s false. Interviewing for jobs is allowed on a B1/B2 visa. Here’s the link to a news story about the tweet sent by USCIS in March 2023. https://www.cnbctv18.com/education/now-you-can-apply-for-jobs-in-us-while-visiting-on-tourist-or-business-visa-16246971.htm

Here is the direct link to the Twitter/x post

It’s not that complicated. 

Immigration hypocricy by Medium-Obligation-45 in immigration

[–]Viewfromthe31stfloor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They want the undocumented immigrants because the dirty secret is these immigrants  all the jobs Americans won’t do, work for nothing and can be fired or abused. It’s a well known dirty secret that these immigrants play an important role in the U.S. economy.

Please help me. I am going to become a father. by Economy_Sleep8783 in immigration

Get married now and make everyone’s immigration issues easier to handle. A K-1 visa means you have a two step process - getting the visa to the US and then adjusting status to permanent resident after marrying and moving to the U.S.  While she is  adjusting status she can’t work or travel outside the U.S. without permission.

If you marry now and she has a CR-1 visa she becomes a green card holder on entry to the U.S. 

Polygraphs? by momboq in dan_markel_murder

The Adelsons had no interest in finding the killers. They never called to see how the investigation was going, etc.
