  1. For your spouse: I-130, I-485 plus I-131 if your spouse would like to be able to leave the united state while the process is ongoing and I-765 if your spouse would like to work while the process is on going. Your stepchild is under 14, so you file I-130 (same regular fee) and the I-485 which due to the mothers application is now 950 instead of the regular fee of 1440. If this is something you're having difficulty with, I recommend studying the guides here on the site or talking to a lawyer who can help you file the correct forms with the corrects fees so you avoid mistakes that can greatly impact your family.
  2. Yes, they do. After filing for the fiancee visa and waiting on average 18 months. The 90 days fiance tv show only shows the part where they come and have to get married, not the part where you have to file the paperwork to go to the US in the first place. Follow the advice on the thread and you have a great shot at DFC or a spousal visa where you will stay together in the UK until it's time to move to the US.
  3. Unless it's a bigger or special date type of ceremony it is also pretty fast and simple, lots of people expect more of a bam! but it just kinda ends if that's any consolation. Throw a party afterwards!
  4. I don't believe a FOIA interacts with the subject, it is the government giving you what they have for a particular A number just like your mother. Since you have that info on your father you could also get his file and use it to help your case.
  5. Yes, just consider that your oath might happen soon after the interview - which then will mean you won't have the green card and will need a us passport to travel.
  6. Expedited and 2 day return mail timeline: Oath 6/14 Applied at USPS 6/15 In process 6/24 Approved & shipped 7/6, expected arrival 7/10 I guess the craziness of long times has passed but still, here another data point.
  7. Where is this information coming from? Who says it's fraud to use Medicaid? There's a lot of fear mongering when it comes to immigrants using public benefits they are completely free to do so
  8. They seem worried about having used Medicaid/public benefits and how this will affect the citizenship case. From healthcare.gov: Medicaid, CHIP, & "public charge" status Applying for or getting Medicaid or CHIP benefits, or getting savings for Marketplace health coverage doesn't make you a "public charge". This means it won’t affect your chances of becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident or U.S. citizen. https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/ Unclear if they were eligible in the first place but since it went through and she got consultations I assume everything is ok? Would like to hear from someone with more experience in this topic. From Medicaid.gov: To be eligible for Medicaid, individuals must also meet certain non-financial eligibility criteria. Medicaid beneficiaries generally must be residents of the state in which they are receiving Medicaid. They must be either citizens of the United States or certain qualified non-citizens, such as lawful permanent residents. In addition, some eligibility groups are limited by age, or by pregnancy or parenting status. https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/index.html
  9. Depends on your state but what are you looking for? 2 weeks notice is the standard for most of the US and companies, being for firing someone or layoff. Look for your state labor rights for more details on unemployment etc. Labor rights are not strong in most places, specially if you compare it to your home country. There's no payout at the end of employment, vacation pay, protections etc. in most cases. Do you have an immigration related question about this? Is your visa tied to employment?
  10. About bank accounts: depends if your local bank employee is familiar with the process of opening a bank account using only a passport as ID. I was lucky and was able to do it on a visa, but it clear to me that other branches had no idea how to deal with it. So you may try but it's not a guarantee.
  11. Yes. In your situation, regardless of what path you decide to take - lawsuit, refile, whatever - no person here would advise you to leave the United States. Jim Hacking says "no, no traveling" on your call.
  12. That's your I-751 going from one of the processing centers to your local office so it can be reviewed and approved. Nothing to worry about, congrats on almost being done!
  13. There's a when to file a I-290B chart, it says you cannot appeal the decision but you can file a motion to have the matter reopened or reconsidered. The note on no appeal is: Conditional residents placed in removal proceedings when their Form I-751 or Form I-829 is denied may seek to have an immigration judge review the denial. This review would occur during the removal proceedings. https://www.uscis.gov/i-290b/eligibility#Note_5
  14. Strongly agree with CrazyCat, as I also said in my own post. USCIS isn't clear about this things and people here get too comfortable saying "everybody should assume combo and should know to take the spouse" even though it is not written anywhere, USCIS not always send a letter making it clear it will be a combo interview AND also routinely approved ROCs without the spouse present (or even the applicant, considering approvals after the N-400 interview that happens remotely). Rooting for you Renato D, please follow up with updates when you can - whatever route you take you have a good chance to revert this decision or apply again.
