Yeah, for a child it's relatively painless since they don't need the police certificates, depending on the age, which are sometimes the hardest to get.

All other docs are about the same, BC, passport, medical, DS260, IV fee, etc.

Also I see that he was petitioned by your mom, is his dad listed on his birth certificate? Because he may need permission from the dad in order to exit the country and every country has different requirements for the travel of children.

Here is a link with required docs, the child would only need whatever applies to him:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/submit/documents-to-submit-to-nvc.html

He does not legally have a dad.

Thank you. I'm mostly interested in the original documents I will have to obtain from Russia to send to NVC. Looks like it's just his BC and the adoption/custody documentation. The latter I already have.

You may want to check with the Russian embassy/consulate to see if you are able to obtain the docs at the consulate. Some countries allow you to do this. For us, the DR consulate here in NY has a section for requesting birth, marriage, and all other kinds of records, they have them all online so we could get them the same day for only $10 each. Talk about convenient and cheap.

This does not constitute legal advice.

No, that unfortunately does not work with Russia. The BC exist in only one copy, the original. They do not ever issue other copies for any reason.

Then what happens if you lose the original?

They will replace it with a duplicate. But only one at any given time. No copies.

In here, we can make tons of copies and just need to get them verify by local authority.

Hi, my priority date is 03 September 2014. I am filing on behalf of my husband. I applied to expedite the case, and they asked me to send our documentation. I got letter from my Dr about my asthma exacerbation and some few other medical records, and on 10 October 2014 they said our we do not meet the expedite criteria. Is this possible because the priority date are not current? When will they become current? Does any one have a prediction for visa bulletin within the next few months??

Thanks visa journeyers!

Hi,

If you are under F2A, even if the expedite were approved, it wouldn't mean anything because the case would just sit at the NVC. Unfortunately, if the PD isn't current, there is nothing you can do. When the PD is current and the case is at the NVC, then maybe you can request another expedite based on your condition and maybe your case can be processed a little faster if approved.
