US Immigration from Chile

PR Husband and I live in the United States

My stepson lives in Chile with his mother and is a Chilean citizen

He's not traveling currently due to obvious reasons and probably won't be traveling for at least another 2 years. He would just be coming to visit for a month or so and will come on the visa waiver program. I wanted to see if anyone has any insight or experience on if your employer has allowed you to carry health insurance for a child that doesn't live with you and is obviously not really tied to the United States in a way of residency, ssn etc.? Or maybe we can just outright purchase a health insurance plan for the month? I'm not really concerned about him healthwise I just feel like it would make everyone feel better if he were covered just in case something were to happen. Any advice pertaining to the topic would be appreciated!

Please no comments on authorizations to leave the country or anything like that - we have extensively researched this topic and this is essentially our last question mark on this topic and are working to get all documents necessary ready for any future travel.

Hello everyone!

I recently completed the DS-260. By my estimates, I should be expected to submit THREE police certificates: one from Chile, where I was born and raised, one from the UAE where I attended university, and one from China, where I currently live.

Throughout my university period, I studied abroad in the UK (5 months), Hong Kong (3 months), and Italy (1 month). I listed all these addresses as I was living in those locations during different times. CEAC is asking me to submit police certificates for all three of these in addition to the places I've actually lived (see screenshot)

However, according to the official webpage on travel.state.gov I should not be having to submit any of these as the time does not exceed a year, let alone 6 months, in any of those locations (see screenshot)

Can I simply not upload them and upload a document for each of these police certificates explaining why?

Or, am I SOL and have to get all of these (the Italy one blows my mind - I was there for 30 days only!!)?

Hi everyone I'm doing change of status and I'm so confused they are asking credit records and I don't have how to run one here in USA when I don't even have a social security number anybody did it all ready??? I thanks

Hello!

I am in the process of filling out the DS-260 form on CEAC. Since I filed my I130 in September, I realized that the dates I listed for the time I've lived in my current location (Shanghai) are wrong. While I landed in Shanghai in late September 2015, I did so on a tourist visa, which later was switched to a residence visa mid-October 2015. As such, my police clearance will only cover the time from when I was officially a resident. Although on my I130 I listed late September as the time I started living here, can I correct this in the DS-260? Or, should I just do it exactly as I did on my I130 and then explain why my police clearance doesn't cover my whole stay when I upload the document at the civil documents stage? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help here!

Hey everyone!

My husband and I are at the NVC stage and collecting all needed documents. I lived in the UAE (Abu Dhabi specifically) from 2011-2015. On the official travel.state.gov website, it says the PCC is only obtainable in person, but a recent update from the UAE government shows you can obtain it online. I am assuming I should go ahead and get it even if the official US gov website says it's unobtainable, but wanted to hear thoughts from others!
