I think the official way to do is to get a REDRESS number through CBP - they sort it out in the background and you never find out what happened, but you're no longer pulled into secondary - and there's a place to enter it when traveling.

Since your spouse is already in the US, no need for you to enter jointly. They'll ask you at POE where the spouse is - just let them know your spouse is waiting in the arrivals area.

Listed country is PI, not Japan - says married my wife in Japan, not that she's Japanese...

Why didn't you file for wife's naturalization already? Your PCS orders should be able to get you 319b naturalization or at least faster processing.

We always stuck to European brands - Gorenje (Slovenian), Karcher (German), Beko (Turkish) - apparently behind Viking these days - we used for washer, dryer, dishwasher. But you also have to look at country of manufacture - if it's China and not EU, I don't buy it. Couple years ago we were in Egypt - Sharm el Sheikh and our room had a small kitchen that also included a washer - some off brand called Tornado but that was the first time in over 10-15 years that I've seen the cycle for 90 degree whites wash - these days max you'll see is 60 degrees (all in Celsius, I can't do F). I bet you that machine lasted for years vs current replace after 5 years. https://blog.yaleappliance.com/which-appliance-companies-manufacture-different-premium-brands

Fully registered birth certificate. Hospital one is usually not accepted.

She definitely would've had a copy of DS-2019. You need it for various proofs, including if you want to leave and re-enter the US - has to be endorsed. Your typical letter size paper.

What's your status - GC, USC? Asking as you posted this in bringing family members of LPR forum. If you're an LPR you can't file for a sibling or parents, have to wait until you're a USC - then it takes about 2 years for parents and 15-25 years for a sibling.

If you don't know, list unknown. If you need more lines to answer the question than provided, separate sheet of paper with the question number and your details at the bottom should be the way.

RFK Jr has just been confirmed as HHS secretary so I'd postpone your medical exams until April (I think that's when they no longer require flu shot for exam) and wait for the covid-shot requirement to be removed from immigrant medicals. If the covid shot is not available anyway in your country, the local med doctor performing exam should give you blanket waiver on it. Or you can go the I-601 waiver route but that's $$$ and time.

If you had MMR, do the titers - it will show immunity. Same for any other vaccines you already received.

Why didn't you seek equivalency evaluation by ECE (ECE.org) or another company? I think WES is another one (WES.org).

No.

Umm, wouldn't he have become a USC after entering on IR-2 visa? Did you go apply for his passport?

~This doesn't sound like DCF case - more like regular consular processing as both spouses need to do interview. Moving to Immigrant visas forum. ~

If she has a valid drivers license and unrestricted SSN card, that's all you need for employment purposes. EMPLOYEE not employer decides which documents to provide for I-9 form.

Says on their website they're processing limited number of immigrant and non-immigrant visas: https://iq.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visas/ Perhaps you'll be one of those cases.

So horrible. Complete a medical treatment (little girl) and going back home with her mother and perish like this.

If it's one of those forms that has translation of boxes in 15 different languages in the bottom of the page - we did not translate that. It was already called international marriage certificate.

So it's all on the immigration officer at POE - if you have pre-clearance in Germany, all the better. But best to be prepared - letter from the job, proof of return ticket, life in Germany.

Do you already have a B2 visa? Asking as VWP countries normally get ESTA.

If ban expired, then it will just be the wait time for I-130 processing and until his PD number becomes current. Hopefully there's a back up plan given his mother's age.

This is the sole reason K-1 visa should exist as it would help greatly for your 18 year old. Consider that over adjustment of status.

If you know the date is wrong, why would you even consider submitting it? Get it fixed (as it's obviously their error, you should call them up and have them expedite the processing) and then send everything in.

I know - and I also know in places where COVID shots aren't available local physicians waive that requirement but in some places that stick to it and won't mark waived...
