Well there is a numerical limit of H1B visas per year and the USCIS does decide in a lottery which companies will get the numbers. Not the same as DV lottery.

Not if you have a payment plan with IRS and a joint sponsor.

I just can't - the audacity. I liked the judge - very down to earth, not taking it from the public defender - 3-4 weeks adjournment, for what, so he can drive some more around? In to the prison you go...

I never said that. You'd want to get your children certificate of citizenship after you receive their passports. Look over the form on uscis.gov.

No, don't pay the fees. Just bring them to post office and apply for their passports (check for appointments ahead of time and bring your naturalization certificate). All other passport requirements for minors are listed on travel.state.gov under passports.

Team two bedrooms here - husband wants to freeze in 55 degree room - you go right ahead. I like my bedroom where I'm not shivering and having to be under a pile of blankets.

Not easy for Syrians to get into Jordan. Beirut processes them for tourist visas - so Beirut would be a better choice.

It's quite simple really. He makes enough or above the required amounts for your household size (form is I-864p that will tell you the numbers)? Yes? If your spouse hasn't already done this, he needs to do it: 1. download most recent tax return from irs.gov - tax transcript 2. get his W-2 3. complete the I-864 form and sign it when needed 4. If he works for an employer, he should get a letter verifying his annual salary - or he can provide several of most recent paystubs 5. IMPORTANT - if he's a USC, he can provide copy of his passport or his BC, or his DL - will also show he's residing in the US.

Pay attention to instructions for I-130 for children. They'll want to see proof of contact and relationship.

I also didn't wait the 10 days - walked in maybe 2-3 days later?

And bring the original certificate of naturalization! They'll make their own copy and update her record in the system.

J-1 if it comes with 2-yr home residence requirement is something you'll have to deal with and wait out before she can interview for immigrant visa. So, have her look in her passport - her visa will have the verbiage of 2YRHRR applies or does not apply. DS-2019 (I think that's the form for J-1 visa) will also have that listed.

What's with the crossed out text? F-1 visa is for international students - plenty of schools in Bogota to teach her English - hire a private tutor if you want to speed it up. But this will not be a quick and certainly not by fall as you envision. After she has requisite level of English, then find the school in the US that has the sonogram tech courses. How is she going to pay for this? If you want this done in Bogota, research the local educational options - you seem to be all over with what degrees to look into - sonogram tech, x-ray tech, bookkeeping, nursing. What does SHE want to do and why are YOU pushing for all this?

So you did this to yourself? Instead of holding off on the oath ceremony until family members had their visas and joined you in the US, you went ahead with the oath ceremony and now have to figure out how to get the children immigrant visas. I-130. There's a reason we tell LPRs who have petitions in the process to hold off on oath ceremony if they have children as part of I-130 for F2A visa.

Interesting but no, don't think your second tourist visa attempt will be successful. Online thing is online - you need to meet up for K1 visa, or do Utah marriage and then meet up in a third country (or Tunisia) before she could file for spousal visa. Either way, time together in person is very important especially in MENA countries. So she gets a cheap ticket for couple weeks in Tunisia and goes on unpaid leave if she doesn't have leave saved already.

You've got time until visa interview but you should look into steps to notify local authorities your passport is being held from you and what you can do about it - report it stolen? get a new one closer to the interview time? I am sure there are websites in your country to guide you through domestic issues at home social services, financial assistance and similar (local municipality, housing authority, employment office). For your interview, sounds like you're from a background (Indian, muslim?) that's very different from your US fiancee and where arranged marriages are expected. Figure out how to explain that in the interview when they ask if families approve (sounds like the fiancee's family approves, but yours doesn't).

Try this but looks like he is no longer practicing law: https://allpeople.com/orlando+c+dy_dycor-realty-inc_7Q-us

Just to confirm, you paid for the kids' green cards production, correct?

A K-1 arrival will only ever get SSN with restriction until they return with an EAD or a green card.

A lawyer in Hong Kong? Perhaps use the list of lawyers that Embassy in HK has: https://hk.usconsulate.gov/u-s-citizen-services/ Look for the list of legal resources.

To get passport - follow instructions on travel.state.gov to get the child's passport - you will need YOUR naturalization certificate AND child's passport with the immigrant visa that was issued to your child in addition to the documents for passport (birth certificate, passport photo, fees) - both parents have to attend with the child for passport appointment. To get certificate of citizenship: https://www.uscis.gov/n-600

Well you'd want to take active steps to 1. apply for his passport using your naturalization certificate and 2. apply for his N-600 certificate of citizenship. These things need your action as his parent through whom he obtained citizenship. Did you not figure out what steps to take after visa issuance for all this?

Go with blank then.

If your mother can guess at least month, just go with day 1 of that month and say (on/about - o/a). Your father is deceased, doubt they'll check.

Oh totally, I realized in March my son's passport was expiring in July this year - luckily we got it back in about two weeks. We also always ask for the larger book with 52 pages vs regular 26 pages as some places aim for blank pages to put stamps in. And now they look different than 4 years ago - passport number starts with A, then it has his picture in three different places - two on the bio page and one on the signature page, bio page is some heavy plastic type like a credit card with raised lettering - more security features. Kids passports are a pain as it's limited validity 5 yrs vs 10 years for adults but I totally get why they need to be changed more often given how much kids change - his first passport he was 10 days old in the picture - definitely didn't look like himself 4 years later... Still have to bring the kid for appointment, can't renew via mail like for adults. I now have calendar reminders for a year out for all the passports we have.
