I-130 for wife but not for child. 'The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require their own petition to immigrate."

My buddy's I-130 is at NFC for his wife but not her 8 year old child. Got the message 'The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require their own petition to immigrate."

So I assume this would requires a new I-130 for the child with the same processing timeline as for the wife. (Roughly six months).

The child's US tourist visa expires in 2026. Should she just enter on the tourist visa and then do an adjustment of status?

Starting last evening, and all day today so far, if I try to access our online account via the old website the verification codes don't seem to be coming back to our email address. This problem only started happening yesterday evening. No issues previously.

Are any others having the same problem?

Hi:

My MIL had her interview last Friday. As I wasn't present, I can only go by what I was told.... So the interviewer called her in because the paperwork seemed to have a mistake. A checkbox that was marked yes instead of no in section where was asked if you where ever part of the Communist Party. MIL was born in Russian Federation and is a Ukraine national. Long story short, my question is about the length of time till GC is issued. The interview went well and approved. I checked online and USCIS website has not changed to approved still. Should we be concerned or just wait patiently.

Thanks for any answers.

N400 - Outside Normal Processing Time - Online Service Request

Question for the board. Our local USCIS office just revised its processing time for N400s and now we are officially outside normal processing time (dubious honor). In submitting an online service request, we now have an SR#.

For those who did this themselves, how quickly did you hear back from the USCIS? Just trying to ballpark when we might get some news.

Writ of Mandamus guidance

I would like some guidance from people who have prior experience with the use of a writ of mandamus for immigration purposes. I don't want amateur responses. Either an immigration lawyer or someone with firsthand knowledge of the process please.

We have now hit the one-year mark for our N400 and TWO-YEAR mark for our I-751 and are now at wit's end. We're on the cusp of going with a WoM. This is because the senator's office is about as much help as a bad case of acne and we see others from our local USCIS office in the same exact situation who have been waiting on their N-400 for months longer with no movement. This whole situation is absolutely ridiculous, unacceptable and inexcusable.

It seems if nothing changes we will technically be considered outside normal processing in early December.

1) What additional steps should we take before we go the WoM route? We have made periodic inquiries at the USCIS. We engaged our senator's office TWICE with nothing coming from it. Do we first wait until we are outside of normal processing and then get a Tier 2 officer involved? I want to make sure we lay the proper groundwork as a foundation for a WoM if all else fails (i.e. "Yes, your Honor, we did do X, Y and Z with no movement or results")

2) What are the criteria for a WoM to be successful? What are all the steps to take initially? (maybe this is a repeat of question #1 above)

3) We have BOTH an I-751 and N-400 outstanding. So would this be TWO WoMs? If a WoM runs circa $5k, would that hit our wallet to the tune of $10k?

Thanks in advance for any valuable guidance experienced people can offer us.
