So your wife doesn't have her old passports? The logic is citizenship proof was used to obtain her first passport so FOIA is get info on that passport application and possibly deduce the dates from that info.

*Does wife have a passport? *If so when was the first time she applied for one? FOIA on that application.

Any reason wife can't ask her parents?

Unfortunately, I will say you are the one not abreast with the law. Every state sets their own requirements for drivers license and IDs. Some States even issue EDL for REAL ID purposes which automatically eliminates everyone except USC. REAL ID really is just for federal purposes so if NC won't accept your endorsed I-551 CR1 visa don't fret; just use the endorsed I-551 visa as it is for federal purposes because it was federally issued. When your physical green card comes use that to then obtain NC REAL ID. Also worth repeating, your endorsed l-551 and/or physical green card are perfectly good to use for REAL ID purposes at the federal level because they are federally issued.

I-129F is a petition answer is Yes. Also, I'm confused. Are you filing adjustment of status while living abroad?

Yup, the law allows you to change name during naturalization. Good luck.

Good luck

Using relative for mailing address is perfectly fine.

Op, this is not looking good. We have not seen a successful case similar to yours here on VJ. Perhaps, you can keep us updated if you succeed but I doubt. She lied twice under oath about being married to beat the system and that can't be undone.

This below should be fine. And add birth certificate to proof relationship with spouse and FIL.

*Spouse correctly filed correct form - I-864 *FIL should file I-864 as joint sponsor and MIL should file I-864A as FIL's household member(safest thing to do since they file taxes as MFJ so it's a joint income) Or if you still want to maintain FIL's I-864A, then submit proof as requested. Good luck

*What Affidavit of Support form did spouse submit? *What Affidavit of Support form did Father-in-Law submit? *Is FIL married? And Does FIL file MFJ tax returns? *Do spouse and FIL live at the same address and is one a dependent on the other's tax return?

Then your age should have been frozen. Contact the embassy and let them know you are protected under CSPA. Also raise it during the interview if you don't hear from them before then. Good luck.

Use I-864

List all children on application

Op, IMO don't worry yourself with DV lottery. You guys should marry file spousal petition I-130 and get the process rolling. US spouse doesn't need to be staying with you in order to petition you.

Congrats

H1B to AOS, Legal. Good luck. H1B (dual intent) to AOS, Legal. Good luck.

She'll have a tall mountain to climb because she will at the point have to convince CO of not having immigrant intent and having strong ties to India, etc. Your 18yr old is not thinking through this properly. You have to step in and guide her or you guys will be in for a rude awakening later if gives up her LPR and later try to obtain it again in the future as an adult. Tell your step daughter to file I-751 to remove conditions before it expires, and make sure to come to the US for any appointments regarding that. I can't stress this enough. On the other hand if she's adamant in giving up her LPR, then so be it. She should just file I-407.

AP is normal. Since they kept her passport, that's a good sign. Don't worry yourself too much.

Daughter can plan things well without having to give up her LPR. * she can apply for reentry permit before leaving (allows you to stay outside for not more than 2 years) * she'll have to return to remove conditions on her green card before it expires (especially biometrics & interview) * assuming she staying outside for more than 2 more years she can apply for SB-1 visa to return then * also she should be establishing strong ties to the US even if she's studying outside like maintaining bank accounts, filing taxes, credit cards, investments, insurance, etc Also, there are some nuisances that she'll have to take into consideration. Like will studying in India be based on free tuition or scholarship as a resident of US or India. If it will be based on status as a resident of India then there could a perception she's abandoning US residency. Another nuisance - she's taking advantage based on her citizenship and not her residency and that probably might/might be an issue. In any case, the only ways she can lose her LPR is: * If she submits form I-407 (if she formally wants to give up LPR) or * If she does not properly file I-751 to remove CR or * by an immigration judge

Husband is correct. Congrats

It will be faster if you petition/sponsor your step- daughter vs your wife petitioning for her. If wife has full custody then no permission required for daughter to travel. Good luck.

Mom filing for her will be the fastest. She must not be married and must stay unmarried. Based on current projections it will take 8+ years. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-december-2023.html
