US Immigration from Philippines

Hi Everyone,

I been a member of visa journey for quiet sometimes and I can tell that this site helps me a lot during my K1 to citizenship journey.

I didn't know that one day I will help my step son to do his paper works.

My step son is married to a lovely girl from Dominican Republic. I just attended their wedding a couple of months ago. Now they are ready to start filing petition to get his wife and her son here.

My questions is what kind of paperworks do we need to accomplish to start. Do I have to go CR1/IR1 for them? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

FYI. my 16 yrs old K2 is traveling alone next month. They went to his local dswd office and was informed that minor travel requirements for him is not needed. I was worried sick about this issue a few months ago because I could not find a post regarding minor traveling alone.

My then fiancee now my wife AOS went smooth and it is within the timeframe. She got her green card without us going to an interview process.

Thanks to all the information I got from here.

So, back when my wife first landed here, everyone online told us to get her an SSN ASAP. We got one approved at our local office, and then sent off our I-485 before her SSN arrived in the mail. However on the I-485, we checked the box requesting an SSN. We read somewhere here that we needed to do that so that they would update her last name now that she is married, and to remove the "Valid for work only with DHS authorization" part of her card. But now my wife is worried that she will have two different SSNs which will cause all sorts of problems. I personally think that since the I-485 has the same passport number and I-94 number that we provided when we applied for the SSN at the local office, shouldn't they see that there is an existing number with that information and not cause issues? I know someone who had a SSN mix up when he was younger and it still causes him problems to this day, and I don't want the same for my wife.

Please some one help me. I am filing the I-129f by myself and I dont understand some things on the form. In part 2 of the form it asks questions about your beneficiary, who is that, me or her?? if it is me why is it repeating the same questions it just asked about me. if it is her why dont it say her. im confused. Im doing all this myself because I cant afford a lawyer.

Hi all, I filed the petition in 2019 for my wife's IR-1 and ran into some problems so I had to wait a few years before things came together for me to finish it. So for about 5 years it's been at the NVC stage until now. I am almost ready to submit everything, just a few final documents to upload. Anyways I'm just wanting to know if the delay in completing the paperwork will cause any unforeseen problems going forward? Thank you so much!
