US Immigration from Ecuador

Hi Everyone,

Me and my fianc are currently waiting for our I-129F petition to be processed (6 months in). However, we recently just found out that she is pregnant. I am assuming that by the time our baby is born that our petition will probably be just getting looked at (she probably wouldn't be able to travel after 6 months anyways). So now I am preparing to have to apply for a CRBA when after our baby is born. I am the father to be and the U.S citizen and she is from Ecuador.

After going to the embassy website, I have a question regarding one of the requirements that states, "There has to be a biological relationship between the child and transmitting U.S. Citizen"

I looked at some other immigration websites and even the USCIS and they all pretty much state the same thing. Either blood relationship or biological relationship, etc.

My question is, what type of evidence or proof are they asking for? A DNA test? Or is this just at the discretion of the CO? I plan to present during the CRBA appointment when the time comes. Thanks

US Embassy in Russia Warns Americans to Flee 'Immediately'

The U.S. Embassy in Russia advised Americans in the country to flee "immediately" while there remains the ability to do so.

"Russia may refuse to acknowledge dual nationals' U.S. citizenship, deny their access to U.S. consular assistance, prevent their departure from Russia, and conscript dual nationals for military service," the embassy warned in a security bulletin Tuesday after the Russian government announced last week it would begin mobilizing its citizens to the armed forces in its war effort against Ukraine.

Hi.

My wife conditional Green card was granted on 01/30/2020. We filed for ROC and it was extended for 24 months and haven t heard anything yet since 11/05/2021 which is normal I guess.

The question is can she file for citizenship now in January 2023 which is 3 years as a green card holder? Or do we need to wait after.

I went to the link above and found this.

E. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334)

The spouse of a U.S. citizen filing for naturalization on the basis of his or her marriage may file the naturalization application up to 90 days before the date he or she would first meet the required 3-year period of continuous residence.

Just want to know if is this the case we can submit an application as early as November 2022.

Hi there,

My partner (Ecuadorian citizen) and I (US Citizen) are planning on on getting married soon and would like to consult an immigration attorney. Does anyone have someone they'd recommend? We'd like to work with someone who has experience with J1 to Green Card AOS.

Thanks!
