Yeah I strongly encouraged him to apply for the advanced parole and he didn't do it back in 2022. I suggested him to do this so his wife could go to Mexico and let his baby son meet his other grandparents back in Mexico. I sadly think that he wants his wife's freedom limited... But that is another story for another day. Speaking of emergency, his wife's sister passed away during this whole wait down in Mexico and she never got to say goodbye to her sister. They got married in 2021 inside the USA and if she does get the visa she will go directly to the 10 year green card. Is the I-765 so you can work, get a license and open bank accounts for before they approve you for the I-130 and I-485?

They live in an apartment complex that has had a history of giving mail to the wrong unit or arriving at a completely different complex. I know it is weird and I recommended him to use his uncle's house address since its more reliable but hell what do I know right?

Thank you! He didn't file the I-765 (because she is a stay at home mom and she probably will never work outside the home), I-131 (I told him to file this initially so his wife could have a chance to go home during this process, didn't take my advice) and he filed a I-130 that was approved as stated in the previous topic.

Hello, I have a friend that applied for AOS & I-130 for his wife in September 2022. He told me that he never heard from USCIS for an entire year until September 2023 when he got an RFE for the I-130. In November 2023 he sent in what was asked for and got an approval in December 2023 for the I-130. He didn’t hear anything else from USCIS so last week he decided to get his senator in Phoenix involved for a status check to see if they have an interview date or not. Greg Stanton’s office ended up finding out that USCIS sent out 2 requests: one letter to appear for biometrics in October 2022 & another letter for a rescheduled biometrics in early 2023. My friend said he never received any letters for biometrics. Greg Stanton’s office also uncovered a I-485 denial letter that my friend said he also never received in June 2023. Besides hiring a lawyer what does he have to do to get this on track? Re-open? Or re-apply for the I-485 and start having his mail sent to a more reliable address?

Good evening, I have a question on how to pursue this. My niece (through marriage to my Mexican wife) was born in Mexico to a dual citizen father (US & Mexico citizenship) and a Mexican mother out of wedlock. Throughout her life she has received a lot of conflicting advice on this subject. When she was around 3-4 years old American father abandoned her, her baby brother and mom in Mexico. She hasn’t had contact with him since that day they were abandoned. He did all he could to avoid paying child support and avoided letting her get citizenship through birth so she could go after him for support while she was a minor. His family paid off judges in Mexico so he wouldn’t have to pay support. He also refused to recognize himself of the father of her younger brother. Niece is 22 years old now and is interested in obtaining her citizenship through birth of American father. She has her own Mexican birth certificate with the American father’s name on it. Since he is a dual citizen he had himself listed as “Mexican” on the BC. She also has her fathers BC from Mexico but not the father’s consular birth abroad certificate. We can’t seem to get any direct information from the US Government on the first step. Her father did live at least 5 years in the USA and 2 years after age of 14 to fulfill that requirement. The only thing would be acquiring evidence from a father that won’t cooperate. Would this be an N-600 filing? Or something completely different with her local consulate in Hermosillo? I wrote to the consulate over there but haven’t got a response yet.

At this point it’s probably been turned into an overpriced Airbnb and now we are back to square one all over again Yeppie!!

There will be a meltdown & riots in November 2024 by the ultra woke left when DeSantis beats Biden.

I think what the attorney may have meant was; for example if your girlfriend comes into the country on a visitor visa on January 1st, 2023 and then you all get married the next week that it could be determined that she entered the US on intent to marry and stay. A lot of people wait 90 days after arriving on a tourist visa to get married and then stay while filing for AOS so it doesn't look like there was intent to marry and stay versus visit.

I have a friend in Phoenix that went this route. Arrived in January 2021 pregnant on the border crossing card with a permission to travel outside the 100 mile zone. They were married in February 2021 and applied for the spousal visa (adjustment of status) September 2022. They are still currently waiting for an approval/denial/RFE. His wife stayed here because of the baby and now they are having another one this year. This should give you an idea on how long Adjustment of status inside the states is currently taking.

Crazy Cat I wanted to pass along my late congratulations about the good news! I haven't been on here much anymore since my wife got her ROC and Citizenship done in September 2022. I was thinking about you guys this morning and decided to log back in to see if your timeline was updated and it was I am glad that she finally got through removal of conditions and is now a citizen! Did they ever explain to you two on why they drug on your ROC for so dang long?
