Hello,

I had a 17 year old son who happened to be a Person with disability. My wife is an American Citizen. Our petition has already been approved and already filed for our visa application. However my wife is not responding for the Affidavit of Support. My son is qualified for an Automatic Citizen upon arrival. Is there anything i can do to bring my son in the United States considering he is a minor. My wife can no longer work due to her disability of sight ( partially blind )What im asking only is to give us the Affidavit of support.....Is there anything else i can do? What should i do?

Looks like US Embassy in Manila just processed 200 Afghan National flown to Philippines via US Government planes to process SIV (Special Immigrant Visa) and put them on commercial flights (Sure paid for by US taxpayers) to USA who arrived in USA between January 15th to 17th.

I bet it was hard to get a Interiew date on Monday January 6th, and I am sure medical interivew was waived as well.

I do find this interesting, and looks like more could be coming to US Embassy in Manila.

200 Afghan nationals complete visa processing, leave Philippines

I'm 23F , my partner is 29M

We want to get our visa going sometime this year and want to be together as soon as possible but we are still unsure which visa would serve us better. I'd like to get married in my home country but on the other side i wouldn't mind getting married paperwise in the US and waiting for my work permit and etc if it would allow us to be together faster and then save up for and have our dream wedding in my home country.
What do you think ? All of this is so overwhelming and confusing and we just want to do the right thing.

I asked the same question on reddit, so many people recommended me to go with fiance visa, two suggested marriage visa. I need more input and advice from experienced people. Thank you

Ps: is it possible to have dual citizenship so i don't lose one from my home country? How does that work ?

I submitted my I-485 and I-765 on November 23, but I haven t received the NOA1 yet. When I contacted USCIS, they said they couldn t find my name in their system. I also emailed the Lockbox about this 20 days ago, but I still haven t received any response. Is there nothing I can do but wait? Are there others in a similar situation?

Hi All,

I am a GC holder and i have plans to stay outside of US due to family reasons in my home country. Hence i am looking to apply for Form i131 re-entry permit which allows me to stay outside of USA for maximum 2 years (from the i131 approval date), ensuring that i intent to maintain my residency with the USA.

Due to my official reasons, i might have to travel to USA once or twice in a year from my home country for business trips.

Below is my query:

• After the i131 re-entry approval, Can i make multiple short trips back to USA for my official reasons within the 2 years validity of Re-entry permit?
  • If yes, does it impact my existing re-entry permit in any form?
  • Does my existing re-entry permit gets cancelled if i travel back to USA before 2 year approval limit, and do i need to apply to new re-entry permit if that is the case?

I couldn't find any clarity with reference to multiple short trips back to USA on USCIS website, hence thought to connect on this forum.

Any leads would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,
