When in 2007 or What's the priority date?

We always advice people not to book flights until they have passport and visa in hand, and checked to make sure everything is correct. When did your sister petitioned for you?

First things first you need to finish your divorce and change your I-751 to a divorce waiver Yes. You are still a LPR

Op, when did you became a citizen? When was daughter born? As @Dashinkastated, it could be possible daughter (if biological) is already a USC.

Hmm. Either wife is missing you so much or something else. Either ways adoption for immigration is a little bit complex than you think. Just continue with petition you've filed; it will be faster than adoption for immigration.

What is your status in the US? What type of petition is your case? Where you residing in the US when petitioner died?

Progress. Thanks for the update. Because of your effort the VJ community will have something to rely on when advising others in the future in similar situations. There's another hurdle to overcome but you've gone further than similar stories i have seen on VJ. Hoping for the best that you'll also beat the misrepresentation. Congrats.

Interesting. What does your status say here: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

I doubt your case has been sent to the Embassy. Why will NVC send it if you don't have an interview date yet.

Yes. Have you informed NVC that you've naturalized?

You need to know the reason the first was returned and address it. The NOIR is very important so wait for it or find a way to figure out the issue. Don't throw away money by filing a new one.

File I-485 and include a a copy of I-130 receipt to adjust. Include the EAD and AP application with the adjustment application, though they are no longer free. Off course questions can always come up during interview. Hopefully, you are slso aware mom can't go back to Ghana and return until she has AP or GC. And adjustment doesn't automatically mean she'll get GC any faster than Consular processing. Good luck.

Is this an adjustment of status?

Hopefully, you get your passport soon. I just want to add that after you get your passport I'll highly recommend you also apply for N600 certificate.

Did you receive a receipt after submission?

The kids are his step-kids so they can't get a US passport unless he adopts them. Adoption has it's own set of laws for immigration purposes. The kids will only be greencard holders; no US citizenship. Good luck.

Husband can only come with one wife. And pre-requisite of that is to divorce the other wife. Good luck.

Not a problem

Op, I think this should do to prove that you are child of your father and also legal custody (affivadit of legitimation because you were born out of wedlock). Did mom also come along as LPR in 2016? If so add docs showing you lived in a marital uniom home with mom and dad; this also shows legal custody. Add some some mails, school records, medical records, IDs, insurance, etc etc that shows common address with dad when you were living with dad before 18 to prove physical custody. Good luck.

I am confused. How's op a citizen since birth? Op was born in 1998. Father naturalized in 2013. My understanding is op presumably was petitioned by father as LPR and upon landing in the US in 2016 became a USC because they were in the physical and legal custody of the father. Op tried to obtain a US passport but DOS came back asking for proof of father's legal and physical custody of op. She never responded to that? I think that needs to be sorted out. @JeanAb, is my understanding correct? If my understanding is correct then proving you are the child of your father is not an issue since it seams you have solid evidence of that. I think the issue is proof that your father had legal and physical of you when you entered US as LPR before you turned 18.

Ok, I don't know what the circumstances of that day was but officer skipping N400 interview is rather odd and quite frankly a disservice to you. Once upon a time there was a president who came into power and decided to de-naturalize people who improperly obtain USC. Those civic questions are a must unless there is a medical condition exception. Ahh well congrats and good luck.

Op, please clarify. Are you saying N400 was approved without an interview?

What do you mean by US passport? Your fiance has a US passport?

I agree. Follow-to-join using I-864 for wife after successfully adjusting to LPR seems like path of least resistance.

Yes but you'll need that divorce certificate. Can't your mom go and get a copy from the issuing authority?
