US Immigration from South Africa

Hi everyone,

I'll apply for US citizenship in 2 years time. How do I go about bringing my kids over once I am a citizen? I've seen there's a I130 and a IR2 visa..

It looks like the IR2 visa requires me to live with my children overseas for 2 years prior to applying??? That is crazy considering I have 3 kids, 5 years between youngest and oldest.

they legally can only choose to live with me once they turn 18. (In south africa)

If I can get them at age 18 to choose to live with me, how would I go about getting each one over?

Hello guys

I sent off my AOS package on the 16th of February to the Chicago Lockbox, and it was received there, but unfortunately I have not received receipt notices. I know that things have been delayed so trying to wait patiently.

My question is: for some reason I was under the impression that i had to tick the EAD renewal box instead of the initial application since I already had an EAD from OPT. I now realize that i should have ticked initial since it's considered under a new category. I sent a scan of my old EAD, and made it clear that this was an initial application for AOS, entered the right category, but I just ticked the wrong box (renewal).

Do you think the application will be rejected/sent back or will they process it as if it is an initial EAS for AOS?

Any help is appreciated, but I know it is kind of a niche case

Hi , does anyone know if the Johannesburg consulate requires your most recent tax return or the past three years for k1 visa?

Good Day,

I just want to find out if your case for CR1 has been approved for an expedite then you will be able to get an interview date?

I see a few comments and misleading information which is very confusing, are interviews on hold for now and is the only exception to get an interview if your case has been approved for an expedite.

Thanks

Good Evening,

I just need some advise.

My unabridged birth certificate is taking longer than expected.

Can I submit documents I have so long to the nvc and request that the unabridged birth certificate will be available at the interview or do all documents need to be loaded ?
