US Immigration from Philippines

I came to the U.S. 1 year ago, and immediately after I received my green card, I joined the military. After almost 2 months of training, I received my citizenship.

I am now planning to petition my mother using IR5, but I am here to ask people with similar experience. Living in the dorms, how would it affect my petition? Can I add my mother as a dependent to DEERS? Is this even possible at all?

My wife and I are US citizens living in the Philippines since 2016. I'm now 67 and she is 53. We adopted a child related to my wife and that was finalized in the court here in 2018. The child is now 9 and we want to take her to the US. Do we have to fill out an I-800A? The adoption has been final for 7 years. Does anyone know what kind of visa the child would get if approved? Is this sort of petition lengthy and complicated?

I spoke to an agency here in the Philippines that I got the link to from this site. They want $7000 to process this. It sounds excessive to me. Makes me want to consider just doing it all myself. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

I remember the first few times I navigated this site. I received an RFE and I was wingin it. I really needed help. Thank God for this treasure trove of information. After a couple of days I was armed with the information I required. Believe me, I know how some of you must feel. The entire process is mind boggling, but with a lot of help from the 1000s of users here the light in front of you will get clearer and not seem like an oncoming freight train. I don't know about all of the additional hurdles Bone Spurs has put in your way. But, the law is the law and you MUST stay within them. In 5 years, you will laugh at yourselves for over stressing. Stay focused on the process and your loved ones. If I can do it, I know all of you can too. You should tell all of your family and friends about this valuable website. Information is key in this mission you have been given. From the filing of the I-129F right up until the moment my wife and kids were naturalized. You can't let up. Never Give Up. Your loved one will be walking across that stage to be given that Naturalization Certificate. Just remember why you are doing it. You ask yourself "Why am I beating myself up over this"? Remember the prize. Your family will be so proud of you for doing what it takes. That is called the American Spirit, unlike no other. You are navigating a convoluted process. You most certainly be intimidated. But, this is a fight you can and must win. You will do it. You just will, Good Luck to all of you. And God Speed!!!

Hello, has any of you encountered sending AOS packet with marriage certificate which has error of spouse -US citizen's mom's name? Did you received RFE due to it? Please give me advice if I should wait for the amended copy which would take 3-6 months from now or just send the unamended marriage certificate and wait for RFE? thank you!

I am gathering required documents for my fiance interview, and I have question in regards to the bank statement. I have an official letter from the bank that is intended to use for sponsorship. This document shows how much was deposited, spent, and current balance for rhe entire year. Will this work? Or will a fiance interview required a statement that shows a ledger of spending?
