Brain Fog after Time Away- What's Next?

[TomandCatie 7]

Okay - so you can see our journey in the signature below - my husband immigrated to the US in 2013 and a lot has changed since. We adopted a baby girl last winter and it just finalized a few days ago (hooray!) 🥳

What's next for his visa journey and where do we start? Because of our time away and stress from the adoption process (that took two years), we've pretty much thrown any knowledge we gained in the trash relating to the visa stuff. 

His visa is good until 2025 (permanent residency), but we want to know options. I've written before that he's dyslexic and has short term memory issues - so whatever test they may need him to take for citizenship, he won't pass. Not unless it's 100% oral (he did that for his drivers license). So unless they have some sort of road to citizenship that allows that - do we just have to keep "renewing" every 10 years? And if so, how do we start either process?

 

*Side note* We are interested in becoming dual citizens (all of us, daughter included) - so if anyone has any knowledge on US/UK dual citizenship that would be helpful. We've read that even if adopted, if one parent is a citizen of Britain/England, they can easily attain citizenship. Would I follow just as easily? If no one can answer this we understand! :)

As per https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-c-chapter-3 he can apply for an accommodation or exception.

His LPR status doesn't expire; the date on the card just relates to the card's validity, not his status.
