US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Writing for a friend: Dad is a US citizen, wife and son came to the country last year under the Biden Parole program.

He's going to file for Adjustment of status for his wife, what about his son?

Does he just apply for US passport for his son since he's now a US citizen and the child is now in the country?

Is there an option when filing for adjustment of status to add his son to it?

Thank you

My AOS for my k2 was denied. After doing research, I am now resubmitting the AOS from scratch (yes, very costly), do I also have to resubmit form I-765 if in my USCIS acct it doesn't show cancelled?

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

This thread was created for those who are waiting for their NOA2 K-1 case assignment from NVC and then tracking your case onwards to your Embassy.

Your case will be forwarded from USCIS to NVC shortly (cases have been taking 30-60 days to reach NVC. Please be patient). Once your case has arrived at NVC , you will be assigned a new case number (your old USCIS case number will not give you any NVC updates).

A few helpful NVC links:

NVCResearch@state.gov

NVC phone number is (603)334-0888

I am including this in hopes that they will reinstate the number in the future :

They are currently NOT answering queries over the phone!! They are primarily answering all queries solely via their public contact page

These are items that everyone asks for, so they have been very helpfully put together by senior VJMember Greenbaum for you to refer to when necessary. If you are new to this thread, please read these first as these are the most asked questions.

Please note, it was brought to my attention that some of the information may be outdated, but most of the helpful tips and tricks are still accurate. Regarding your packet 3, there isn t anyone within VJ currently providing that information for each embassy so that part of the PDF may be disregarded.

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We normally have a calendar but I haven t located one for 2025 yet.

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I noticed a 2024 shipping calendar being shared so I have included it below.

You can use that calendar to track when the next shipment date will be.
