  1. Yes, the marriage had to have occurred before the child turned 18 for it to work. Now the mother will have to petition him after she gets her green card. In this case, should've gone the K-1 visa route as that's fine for kids until they turn 21.
  2. 3 years (can file 90 days prior) of having been an LPR (from the date the first green card was issued), and being married for 3 years to a USC. From little you listed, she could've applied even before her 10-yr green card was approved. Strongly advise applying before new fee increases go into effect in April. There's online filing option now for N-400.
  3. If he has orders and you're listed on them, push for 319b naturalization.
  4. If you're on his orders, look into expedited naturalization.
  5. The petition I filed back in 2010 was approved in 2012 I believe (F4) - NVC has yet to contact me or the beneficiary to get started with anything. I do however save my yearly tax return transcripts just in case.
  6. Time to find a different program then.
  7. You're worrying unnecessarily. One way on K-1 is normal and expected.
  8. If check wasn't cashed, put a stop on it and then send in a new packet.
  9. Additionally, you need to have had certain amount of time with the child in your custody - check the links provided earlier - 2 years is what I've seen mentioned.
  10. ~Topic split from an unrelated topic. OP, you don't hijack someone else's topic with a question clearly not related to that thread. ~
  11. No. Each files a standalone I-130 so in case grandmother dies, there's the other I-130 to fall back on.
  12. The link is clearly from Adoption part of USCIS - so wouldn't have been applicable to your child. All you had to do was complete the DS-11 form (and gotten his birth father to complete the form as he was absent but consent(ed) to US passport issuance, get it notarized), booked an appointment with either local post office or special issuance agency if you had to return urgently after arrival to the US and gotten the child US passport. Green card only comes if you've actively done your part which is paying the USCIS green card issuance fee - not required for minor children who will become citizens after entering the US with immigrant visa.
  13. You should've gotten your child US passport after entering on immigrant visa (and not gotten him a green card).
  14. To be considered as in the US you have to be on the sponsoring employee's official orders. As you're not, the time away without approved re-entry permit can be problematic. If your spouse is going to remain outside the US you'll definitely want to go back to the US and apply for the re-entry permit properly (or even stay in the US the necessary time so you don't lose your green card).
  15. Not surprised at all. I'm sure WH has its fingers in this too especially with election year.
  16. Contact your congressman/senator's federal agency assistance aide.
  17. You can get married in Germany or even with the Utah online marriage. Timeline won't change - it's about 18 months to immigrant visa, depending on the backlog of people waiting for visa interviews in your consulate. You won't get a green card until after you've entered the US and activated your immigrant visa (and paid the green card issuance fee to USCIS).
  18. Other topics with the same question deleted. Don't open new threads with the same question - keep it all in the same topic or admin action will be taken.
  19. Lots of red flags. Large age difference. Unauthorized work. Why is it unauthorized? Is she on an actual student visa (F1) or did she do a change of status from tourist visa to attend college and can't leave country without having to go to Bogota and get a real F1 issued? Oh and USCIS does take fraud marriages seriously so think twice before going down that path.
  20. What are you confused about? Make an account on IRS.gov, download your tax return transcripts, print them and bring them to your interview. Took me a total of under 15 minutes to get mine the other week.
  21. With this set of circumstances you should be able to only have mom's income qualify for I-134/I-864 but they could come back to you and ask for dad's income too as he's a member of household.
  22. For starters, don't try to claim child as your own as that will not end well. So she shouldn't list your last name on BC. Get the father unknown BC and then K-2. She'll have to figure out the passport for the child - hire a local lawyer knowledgeable in these things - I'm sure the lawyer can research the local laws for parentage and passport issues.
