Where does your husband currently live? How long has your husband been a USC?

And this wasn't even Trump administration so who knows what might be coming.

This specific directive is to embassies which are part of DOS. USCIS is part of DHS so this specific directive does not apply to USCIS. But who knows what might be coming for USCIS; it's wait and see.

US embassies instructed to prepare for staff reductions https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-embassies-instructed-prepare-staff-reductions-sources/story?id=118755936

Now to your 1st question. Paper filing is advantageous if you need a fee waiver. In fact that will be your only option.

I responded to your second question. Go back and check.

That's what I said.

Yes. And it's cheaper.

US citizens don't need visa to enter the US for anything so no such visa exists. Son should just enter with US passport and enroll in the final year of high school. Free in public school.

Op. I understand your frustration. Just to confirm and my apologies if you already answered this. Your wife completed I-864 and you completed I-864A? Correct?

Ditto

No need to wait 90 days. Marry and file I-130. You'll never know when the chart might jump. Especially, chart B. Choose consular processing though. If it happens she's still in status when priority becomes current she can still adjust. Good luck

Interview for N400 won't be waived

You guys can't do adjustment of status now anyways; that category is not current. You can marry and file just the I-130 petition if you want your priority date to be earlier than waiting for next year. When does F1 status end? And there's no 90 day rule for DHS.

Big decision but process has not changed. Schedule an appointment with US citizens services at the US Embassy or walk in if allowed and simply tell them you want to renounce your US citizenship. They'll let you fill the appropriate forms DS-4079 and pay the renounciation fee, take oath.

USCIS. You'll file form I-130. Followed by form I-129F. However, the K3 visas are not really issued anymore; they'll just approve the I-130 whenever they want to approve it and adminstratively close the I-129F K3 application. Good luck.

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.
