Not quite sure what's not clear. Even the dvprogram.state.gov has info on what and how. He entered DV-2025 program (entry was October 4-November 7, 2023). Starting October 1, 2024 which is the start of new fiscal year (2025) is when the interviews will start for DV selectees. Depending on his assigned number, he may or may not get a chance to interview and get a DV visa, that's all I can tell you. If it happens to be September 30, 2025 and he hasn't interviewed and received a visa, he's out of luck. That's why I said look at the prior years' visa bulletins to figure out if he has a chance or not. It's also important he has his documents in order for KCC or they won't schedule the interview.

Depends on the region and how high his number is. You can check the visa bulletin on state.gov to see the past processing times of DV winners. There have been people who were selected but who did not get DV visa as they ran out of numbers in the past couple of years. Here's visa bulletin for upcoming June 2024: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-june-2024.html DIVERSITY IMMIGRANT (DV) CATEGORY FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE Section 203(c) of the INA provides up to 55,000 immigrant visas each fiscal year to permit additional immigration opportunities for persons from countries with low admissions during the previous five years. The NACARA stipulates that beginning with DV-99, and for as long as necessary, up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually allocated diversity visas will be made available for use under the NACARA program. Visa numbers made available to NACARA applicants in FY 2023 will result in reduction of the DV-2024 annual limit to approximately 54,850. Section 5104 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 amended the NACARA’s provisions on the Diversity Visa program such that the number of visas made available under the NDAA will be deducted from the 55,000 DVs annually allocated. These amendments will not impact the number of diversity visas available until FY 2025. DVs are divided among six geographic regions. No one country can receive more than seven percent of the available diversity visas in any one year. For June, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2024 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number: Region All DV Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed Separately AFRICA 57,000 Except: Algeria 56,950 Egypt 32,000 Morocco 41,500 ASIA 9,000 Except: Iran 8,500 Nepal 8,500 EUROPE 21,000 Except: Russia 20,240 Uzbekistan 9,000 NORTH AMERICA (BAHAMAS) 15 OCEANIA 1,850 SOUTH AMERICA, and the CARIBBEAN 2,750 Entitlement to immigrant status in the DV category lasts only through the end of the fiscal (visa) year for which the applicant is selected in the lottery. The year of entitlement for all applicants registered for the DV-2024 program ends as of September 30, 2024. DV visas may not be issued to DV-2024 applicants after that date. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2024 principals are only entitled to derivative DV status until September 30, 2024. DV visa availability through the very end of FY-2024 cannot be taken for granted. Numbers could be exhausted prior to September 30. C. THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN JULY For July, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2024 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number: Region All DV Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed Separately AFRICA 67,500 Except: Algeria 67,250 Egypt 40,000 Morocco 52,000 ASIA 13,000 Except: Iran 10,250 Nepal 10,250 EUROPE 27,500 Except: Russia 24,750 Uzbekistan 12,000 NORTH AMERICA (BAHAMAS) 20 OCEANIA 2,000 SOUTH AMERICA, and the CARIBBEAN 3,000

As long as you're in the US when the beneficiary arrives to the US or you enter the US with the beneficiary, they don't care where you are when you submit the petition. They'll want to know you have a legit qualifying marriage, can take care of the beneficiary (I-864).

No. People overseas submit I-130s inline with no issues.

6 months minimum.

Can't do K-1 for your spouse (as it's for fiancee/fiance) and K-3 won't be issued as they stopped doing that long time ago. Stick with I-130 process.

I-864p form gives the levels needed per USCIS - HHS. Check if that's enough for your household size. And it should be total income as you claimed loss so $42k.

Send whatever new and updated you have since the submission. Can't go wrong with that. And get State IDs.

Get a state ID, why wouldn't you have that if you don't have driver's license?

Isn't Hukou (or Hu Kou Ba) the hard cover book you're talking about?

That's all you need. Get in touch with London about DCF.

Just bear in mind only immediate family members (spouse, child(ren) of military (or government) employees are covered as being on government orders when it comes to green card and residence overseas counting as residence in the US. It doesn't apply to mother-in-law. I doubt you'd be able to get your mother as a military dependent on orders. Potentially as member of household and that's definitely not on orders.

You give it two weeks and if nothing from the embassy, you contact them.

There won't be any naturalization until your Removal of conditions is approved. You can most certainly apply for naturalization. There could be an instance where they interview you for first removal of conditions and at the same appointment for naturalization as well. You hopefully applied for your child's removal of conditions alongside yours.

Bring your son back if you want him to get citizenship when you naturalize. Otherwise he'll have to do it on his own when he turns 18.

USCIS.gov then search naturalization. They used to give out test materials when you did biometrics, not sure if that's still the case but the questions are most definitely on the USCIS website. https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test

Can't as immigrant visa number not currently available.

As the OP said, the USCIS folks took the expired green card and extension letter when they issued the I-551 stamp.

A pdf is a pdf. Attach what you've got from IRS.

Well for starters, it won't be USCIS interviewing your girlfriend/wife, but consular officer in her home country. No, they won't ask why someone got married in the US - people marry in the US all the time and return to their home country.

Divorce in Mississippi and make sure you also pull the I-130. Once divorce final, send her the final divorce decree so she can handle Nigeria side of things in case she wants to marry someone else in the future.

Administrative processing is something that involves several agencies from what I have seen reported here. You try to do mandamus, they can come back and say not sufficient time to complete the checks, visa refused. So think hard if and when you want to try that process for administrative processing. And BTW, he received approval of O-1 petition, not visa - visa is a consular process, petition is USCIS process.

That has nothing to do with your entry to the US.

All the questions starting with Have you ever... really do mean have you ever. Looks like you completed ESTA application and was denied and now need to apply for B2 visa. Yes, you do have to pay the tourist visa fee ($160-185 depending on the country) before you can schedule your interview.

Delay submissions to NVC until you're within 5-6 months out from finalizing the 2-yr requirement. They will not issue an immigrant visa until 2-yr HRR has been completed.
