IR1, IR2 from Outside US (Need advice)

[H&M88 0]

Hello Everyone,

Many thanks to your cooperation on VJ Website that encourages me to share my case hoping you can help me regarding what to do.

 

I am a U.S. citizen by birth, to Egyptian parents, so they returned back to Egypt after a year and a half of my birth, Along with being a girl I weren't able to travel again at any point of time alone.

Now, I am married women with only one child who is under 2 years of age, me and my husband agreed on travelling to U.S. to build our desired future and hopefully provide better living for our child.

So I am going to apply for IR1 for my husband, IR2 for my child, yet my inquiries are about:

- How could we make the payment for I-130 forms with the current circumstances of being in Egypt? What are my options as the US embassy in Cairo informed me that the payment have to be totally through USCIS.

- How to guarantee success of our steps? (Knowing that I can’t leave my baby and travel alone to make arrangements needed to our stay).

 

So kindly Advise,

Thanks a lot

Question 1)

"If you live outside the United States or its territories and you want to file your application or petition where you live, go to the Forms section of this website to determine if you can file your form at an international office. Please note that not all forms of payment are accepted abroad. See the webpage of the USCIS office where you wish to file or contact the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate for information on what forms of payment are accepted and how to pay at your local U.S. Consulate or Embassy."

This is your reference: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/paying-uscis-fees

 

In this case, you can try Money Order or Cashier Check.

 

Question 2) There is no guarantee for any steps but you can enhance your chance of success by following the guild-line, as well as read more thread of other VJers who have the same situation like you.

I believe other VJers will have the answers for you concern in question 2.

 

Bottom line, good luck with your journey and welcome back to US!
