US Immigration from Colombia

I am a US Citizen and at 3 years my wife can apply for citizenship via N-400. My wife has a now 15 year old who is her son from a previous marriage does he have to also fill out the N-400 and pay the fees? or is there another process? Thank you for the help

Both my wife and her son are permenant residents living here in the US with me for the last 5 years, its going to be 3 years since they received green cards.

Hello,

I got a RFE for the I-485 for petitioning sponsor on Form I-864 evidence of US National.

I was in a rush to get to work and uploaded just a .jpg picture of my US Passport Biographical Page to the online USCIS account response submission and did not include the original RFE letter nor a cover page.

Should I resubmit a mailed hard copy with letter and cover page? Deadline isn't until June 17, 2024.

I read on the forum from a thread years ago someone did the same (online submission without original RFE letter then a snail mail copy with RFE letter) and had no issues. Another was a snail mail RFE response without original letter and the main concern was responding to RFE via snail mail without the original letter and having no way to connect the submitted evidence to their case. I assume since I submitted it online via my USCIS Account, its attached/connected to my application.

Thanks

Hey everybody!

My wife (Colombian) and I (US citizen) live abroad in Brazil.

I have a work contract that ends in July 2025 (That I would like to complete)

This is why I'm wondering if an Immigration process (IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa) can be intentionally delayed without issues, like having the case canceled and sent back to USCIS.

Right now (March 2024), we are at the stage of submitting documents to the NVC.

The NVC contacted us in August 2023 to let us know our assigned case #.

All documents submitted up to this point have been "Accepted," and we have an FE Review Note asking for extra documents that are pending to be submitted.

Even though we haven't been DQ'ed yet, we seem to be pretty close to the end of the NVC process and moving to the interview stage.

Because my work contract ends in July 2025, we would like to have the interview between February - April 2025.

1. Is it possible to delay the NVC approval until next year?

2. What would happen if we don't submit this pending document, requested in March 2024 in the FE Review Note, until January 2025?

3. If it is possible to delay the NVC approval, is there any reason you might recommend against that?

Could it potentially harm our chances of getting the visa approved?

I have heard about the section 203(g): "Termination of Registration: Secretary of State shall terminate the registration (petition) of any alien who fails to apply for an immigrant visa within one year of notice of visa availability".

Since the NVC contacted us for the first time in August 2023:

4. Does it mean we have until August 2024 to complete the case, get DQ'ed, and do the interview?

5. Or, because we have some documents accepted and we have been actively in contact with the NVC, does this "year conditionally" not count?

Thank you!

Hello

New Here looking for some clarity on a question in the I-130 application, question 59A asks to list the address we have lived together. I have visited my wife

many times in Cali, Colombia and stayed at our apartment there when I visit. so the question is if the visits were only for 2 weeks do they count as living together ?

thank you in advance for any advice on this .

my wife just passed her naturalization test and we are wondering what will happen to stepdaughter's status. does she become a us citizen since she is under 18? does mother need to file some paperwork ? if anybody knows please let us know as we are not sure about this.
