Birth Certificate? 🤷

That's a fast goal! 😉

So, how'd they meet and procreate? You didn't answer me, where does she stay in Colombia? City that is. I can tell you the living estimate $$. I agree with @Boiler and @Ontarkie Additionally, IIRC, I was told Colombians get subsidized or in some cases like this child, free healthcare. I was told this last year. Don't hold me on this. As we are all saying, let your pal not CRBA anything less it's DNA-ed. Trust me, I know a few things about Colombianas. Similar to my country too. On the contrary, I don't think she wants to stay in US because she would be already overstaying since she has a B-2. Quality of life and affordable Healthcare is better outside US. She may be held back overstaying because (a) she knows it'll be expensive to pay the kids Healthcare in US or (b) she wants USD to live off rich in Colombia. I would too. Why would I work while I'm getting $2K to spend in Colombia amd not work? That's living rich!!.

Even if that was possible, how's she going to live there with her tourist visa? This lady is grasping on straws. Knowing Colombianas, and if push comes to shove, I would DNA that kid. And how is she going to afford US lawyers with Colombian pesos? Heck, even us in US can't afford them.

I agree. That amount she's quoting is king's life in Colombia where average rent is $150/ month. Which city does she live in Colombia? If I'm to believe what you say, he dodged a bullet with this one.

Where are your parents? US or outside?

There was a report here that someone got AP recently

She can leave. But she had to start from scratch via consulate in Bogota. Or stay and wait till she gets AP, if you applied for one. If current trends continue, she may get AP soon but if not, you're looking at 8 months to get AP. Your choice.

@Mike E for consideration for USCIS director. After you get hired, hire me. I'll have a field day 😉

Why?

This is IF you're doing concurrent filing, that is, I-130 which can be filed online or paper + all other forms that can only be filed on paper. However, if it's just I-130 and going Consulate route, it's best to just file online as it's the only form needed. Now, they're are some people who file AOS but decide to file I-130o line and then take that receipt and add it to their paper file for concurrent filing. I've never understood the logic readon behind this as it's pretty useless. I'd rather file all on paper and have all receipts together than be twitchy and get receipts at a time.

File AOS

Yes

Cashier's check should have the amount written on it, IIRC.

You can't transfer a case from one petitioner to another. If parents put an application, it a completely independent petition and starts at day 1, not pick up where the other petition is at.

His GC won't be approved for another 1.5 years

Yes. Live in US. Yes. You don't have a scan of your N400? You can still use PP, I guess.

Actually, we also don't know. Why not take one for the team, find out and let us know.

Everyone talks on their own. But yiu all can use non-immigrant line

We're "whacking a mole" here with OP. Answers keep changing.

Isn't 5 months enough for you?

You shouldn't have a problem

That can't be USC with you. Don't be quiet about it (Kenyan style) because if they naturalize in error, they'll come to regret it down the road. They're already at the 4 year mark. So, 5 years, as explained below, is in sight. They'll leave to file their own N400 after 5 years of LPR.

Aaa I missed that. Well, in that case, those kids petition are mute. They only, automatically, became citizens if mom naturalized before kids turn 18. So @Lyz they'll have to do their own N400 application when they are eligible. We can help you figure this out if you tell us how long they've been in the US.
