US Immigration from Ecuador

Do we need to go to Registro Civil to get new copies of various docs such as the inscripci n de nacimiento, inscripcion de matrimonio with the stamp on the back? Of course they were approved by the NVC but all of those docs are only valid for 60 days. When I uploaded them to the NVC it was within the 60 days, but now it is well past the 60 days. Or do I bring the originals that I uploaded to the NVC?

When sending documents to USCIS (such as a divorce decree in Spanish) is this something I need to have a certified translation of or can I translate it myself?

Should I include both the English and Spanish copies or does USCIS only need the English copy?

Thanks in advance!

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.
