    Yes. You'll just petition your step daughter with form I-130.

    Ok

    Adoption will make one a child. Not a grandchild

    There are no special circumstances where grandparents can directly petition a grandchild.

    Grandparents can't directly petition grandchildren.

    This. since she's not living with biological USC parent. After 5 years she can file for naturalization.

    How did you initially enter the US? Was it with immigrant visa through US wife's petition or another means?

    Congrats

    Op. Pull the petition & affidavit of support and proceed with your divorce. IMO she's pulling your heartstrings; don't fall for it. Goodluck.

    Op, I don't think US citizenship can be passed down directly from grandparents to grandchildren. It's more like chain from US citizen grandparents through US citizen parent to child, where US citizen parent doesn't meet the required physical presence test but US citizen grandparents meets the required physical presence test. Therefore, expeditious naturalization or so called grandparents clause still requires child's parents to be US citizens.

    Awesome you received your GCs. And thanks for updating us.

    Reading between the lines, if your wife was not inside the US before turning 18 and living with the mom inside the US under the physical and legal custody of her mom, then she could not have automatically acquired citizenship. But to answer the question on the N400 why can't mom just give your the naturalization date on her naturalization certificate and just do simple calculation to determine whether she was below 18 or not. They are asking just to make your wife isn't already a citizen but based on what you've stated I don't think she's a citizen. However, it's also a tragedy mom didn't sponsor her when mom was a LPR. Good luck.

    Ok. As Boiler pointed out above, you by not knowing back in 2023 saved yourself a lot of money by not filing the I-601 because your parents it seems won't have a qualifying relative for the waiver. Qualifying relative will be US based spouse or parents. They should continue to serve the ban till end of September and then they'll be in good position. Good luck.

    What's current statuses on both USCIS website and CEAC?

    @Steve777Good call by @OldUser. You need to withdrawithdraw I-130 and I-864. You need to act now.

    Cases with March 2012 now have visas available. So priority date of April 2018 puts them at roughly 2031 to get visa numbers. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-february-2025.html Good luck

    Op, based on what you've said. Your son is potentially exempted from I-864 since he'll become a citizen upon landing but he's 17 so that's close. In any case, you just need to file exemption using I864W exemption for your son. Also, you need nag the embassy to expedite interview so your son doesn't age out of automatic citizenship. When will son turn 18? Also, it's possible son is probably already citizen which will make CRBA appropriate. Please provide more details.

    The service center address should be on the I130 receipt notice.

    To clarify. Is your son the biological son of your wife? If not, are you a USC? If your wife is the petitioner for your son then she's the de-facto primary sponsor of affidavit of support. If she does not want to sponsor then it's her right.

    @Crazy Cathas a nice summary. Tagged. Spousal visa is superior in my opinion. From the US perspective you can be a dual citizen. You'll have to check current country if they too will be ok. Good luck.

    In a nutshell. -Hope for I-751 approval and further complications will be avoided. - If I-751 denied, then no need to wait for NTA or IJ. Your LPR Status could be considered terminated at this point without seeing IJ. You may refile I-751 or you can adjust through 2nd marriage and deal any accompanying bona-fide issues that comes with it. - Probably better to work with your lawyer for any complexities. Good luck.

    Relevant post discussed previously on similar subject on new marriage-based AOS pertaining to the new guidance. @mindthegapactually explained it quite well.
