1. Depends on the Embassy. But he needs to get those two things fixed before going back - current passport photo and police verification. If not, he is probably going to be denied again. 2. Yes, because the program start date and duration will change. But a new I-20 is not hard to obtain...

Do you know which Service Center is handling the case? If so, call them and find out. Not everything can be expedited, and my hunch is this is not one of them. Have you asked your DSO whether they could expedite it? Also, I am puzzled as to the question. Are you currently in the US studying...

Go with what your DSO said. They are the one who will request to reinstate your SEVIS status. No you won't need a new visa. First, you are still in the US, with a lapsed status or not. Unless you plan to leave the US, you won't need a new visa. The 5 months period refers to your being out of...

Please leave your subjective opinion out of this. Her case requires legal advice that YOU cannot provide. Telling her to leave and face the ban is IRRESPONSIBLE! And whatever her DSO might think is also none of your business. Finally, be advised that Immigration Proceeding is considered...

You need to consult with an immigration lawyer NOW! Don't listen to a few of our opinion who just tells you to leave and face whatever 10 year ban they subjectively think you deserve. Go see an immigration lawyer. This could be fixed, but you are likely going to have to fight it in...

You cannot apply for AOS if at the Port of Entry with you B1, you did not declare the intention to look for school. You will have to leave and apply for a visa stamp overseas and come back with the F1. If you did declare such intent, then USCIS already knows your intent. Beware that F1...

With a mere two posts and already disparaging Canada, I call BS. Look, Canada is no different than the US, you make it what it is. You want to sit at home expecting a handout, you are at the wrong country.

Don't you just love the Tunnel traffic crossing in the morning?

Check out http://www.cic.gc.ca/ That is the official website containing all the steps and lots of information you asked here. However, Immigration to any country, US or Canada, is NOT a cake walk. Canada is a sovereign nation and has its own immigration regulation, so your US Citizenship...

Yes, the 5 months period is true. But from May to August is only 3 months. I assume that she just graduated with her Associate Degree. While going on to a Bachelor Degree is considered undergrad, F1 recognizes that as two programs of studies. So the 5 months can play a role if she wants to...

You should talk to your school DSO first as they, not USCIS, are the one who recommend OPT. With that said, I may be able to give a pointer or two to small questions you have listed. If you have never applied for GC, then you have not shown immigrant intent, legally speaking. You F1 status...

The 60 days only matters if she has graduated from the first program. If she is transferring in the middle of the program, then you just have to request a transfer from your first school. Your F1 Visa is only relevant when you are inspected at the POE (aka airport). Otherwise, it doesn't...

Yeah well, that's a big IF at this point. There is no reported AS winner yet and AS seems to be the last region released every year. Only time will tell.

Nothing on AS yet, so far, AF and EU are out.

Precisely. Do be mindful that the foreigner in violation of the visa MUST have been inspected at the border. Otherwise, the rules are different for those who wasn't inspected.

So AF and EU are the only 2 regions out so far?

DS160 is something new to gather information electronically. Having never used it before, I can only GUESS here, so use at your own risk. (1) Not sure why they would ask for a credit card number. I am sure if you are applying for an F1, a SEVIS number found on your I-20 is essential. For...

Your question pertains to Marriage Visa. I'd suggest you to post a thread over at the Family-based visa forum. Good luck.

I quoted the AOS link since under 245(a), if you spouse had been inspected at the border, even if she has over-stayed, she can Adjust her status through marrying you, a USC. Normally, people who have overstayed their temporary visa are not entitled to adjust and must leave the country. I think...

Just for your entertainment! "OPPOSE immigration reform of any kind" I wonder what "of any kind" means to most people...
