Your situation is way outside the scope of a DIY site like Visa Journey, imo. IMO, you are going to need a very strong package. Find a very good attorney who has experience in crafting them. I don't think the current administration will treat your situation as a formality as did the last administration. This is a far cry from a standard immigration case, especially with the extra scrutiny by USCIS now. What is your plan if you attempt fails? I wouldn't risk the consequences of trying to do this solo. A $150-$300 consultation is just the very beginning to a very expensive process. IMO, you need to put this in the hands of an experienced attorney......which won't be cheap or guaranteed. Your father made some extremely bad decisions which are going to cost a lot of money to rectify. Just an opinion. Good luck.
No, applying for (and/or denial of) a B2 with a pending I-130 would not cause an I-130 denial or have any effect on a spousal visa case. However, applying for a B2 with a pending I-130 would probably cause a denial of the B2.
In Texas, only US citizens can update their addresses and renew DLs online. Otherwise, Green Card holders have to ALWAYS renew and make changes in-person only. We took wife's Naturalization certificate and her US passport.
Good luck......You could get the interview at any time since those estimates are very inaccurate sometimes. Hopefully, your N-400 will push the I-751 soon. It did in our case.
Marriage is irrelevant....US citizen children are irrelevant. If they entered the US without inspection, they can't stay.....and bans are real unless waivered.
I heard the government has increased the incentive to self-deport to $3000 along with a ticket to home country. This administration is serious.
A spousal visa, processed through USCIS, NVC, and the consulate, could take about 2 years. The I-130, alone, at USCIS, will take a year or so for approval.
