CP is nice choice. It's illegal to come to the States on a non-immigrant visa with immigrant intent.

it's just I-130 since mom is outside the US. Have you thought about who is going to pay for mom's medical coverage??? just like Czech guy said...

do bring it just in case. We brought it but were not asked for it. I added my mother's name to our bills even before she entered the US. Sometimes the utility company will add it to the address line (mail to), rather than the account as a joint holder. bring everything that proves that you are...

K-1

yes.

it depends on the reason for the denial...

mine said: Sponsor - University of XXXXX. and then: Sponsor has received funds from the USIAfor this student. Which made me subject to HRR...

and that's exactly what Jack is talking about: there is no way they could have applied directly for US citizenship... that would have been a totally frivolous application. Applying for a refugee status - not a totally frivolous application. You need to get your facts straight first, and then ask...

check out visa bulletin on www.travel.state.gov. That'll answer your questions. Did you enter the US legally? are you in legal status now and do you plan to maintain it until you can apply for adjustment of status?

yes, if successful, it would be a legal F-1 status.

that's not what I am worried about.... What does her DS-2019 state when it comes to the sponsor?

who paid for her year in college during the exchange program?

he probably can't file I-130 now, since they are not married....

yes don't need to. it may be affected. I'd file I-130 asap and, perhaps, it'll be current in no time. no, because H1b is a dual intent visa. best not to wait that long. File right after marriage.

emergency APs are usually designed for emergencies... Has your wife ever been in the US without a status or illegally?

the co-sponsor needs to be aware of the worst case scenario.

sure. Since you don't make enough money, you need to find a co-sponsor: a US citizen or resident who DOES make enough money for his family and yours, and is willing to sign an affidavit of support for your wife (for 10 years).

simply and positively put, a lot of people already posted stories of their AOS experience. Thanks to them for making a wonderful effort to keep us all informed. Negatively put, you are just too darn lazy to search for them yourself. You expect people to repost them for your viewing pleasure...

I am not sure you understood them correctly. UAE doesn't change or govern US immigration laws. If the US consulate in UAE doesn't allow direct consular filing, you will have to file I-130 when you come back to the States.
