    Unfortunately, Greencard can't be used like a tourist visa. It is for having a life on US soil so the steps to take for maintaining her status is to live in the US if that's the route you go. Regarding, the denial of her tourist visa I think she couldn't this time around convince them that she will return back to her home country after visiting. I get that your mom doesn't want to live here. But will she be willing to live for 5 years, get US citizenship, and go back home?

    @BoyMomaFile the I-751 right away. Add an explanation letter that you unknowingly filed the wrong form I-90. Include the I-90 receipt with your filing. Unfortunately, you screwed up so your naturalization will have to wait. Without a properly filed and approved I-751 you'll never be a citizen. Good luck.

    Movements on visa bulletin is not linear so there isn't a common pattern to predict on. And it could also depend on country. Right now it's looking like 18+ years, but again it's not a linear graph.

    Tell your husband to join and ask the questions because your narrative keeps changing. So a USA IT company petitioned your husband for H1B visa (via lottery) for an IT job even though he knows nothing about IT? Is this correct? If so, this continues to smell of fraud. What's the name of this IT company?

    Your wife has to sponsor him with sibling petition, and just as the lawyer said it will take 17+ years for a visa to be available to him. Could try luck with DV lottery.

    *Something fishy is going on.

    No job offer, no H1b visa. No H4 visa. How did he enter the lottery without an employer? Something fishing is going on.

    Oh this is wild. The law is absolutely clear when it comes to residency requirements. Op, seem to be doing everything by the book and USCIS throws them a curve ball. It might never up as a problem but there have been people who have had their citizenship questioned later on in their life when they least expected. Personally, this is first time I have seen this. Well burden of proof will be on USCIS, I think.

    She completes, Statement of Consent: Form DS-3053

    - No need to pay the the USCIS immigrant fee - Apply for US passports for them, using your USC proof. Both parents need to be present at submission of application unless you have full legal custody. - After you receive their passport, it is highly recommended that you also apply for N600 certificate of citizenship for them. This gives them additional proof of their citizenship which could come in handy in the future.

    You guys need a joint sponsor

    All CR1/IR1 visas are applied for at the embassy whether you filed petition in the US or outside. I think what you mean is you can apply for I-130 directly with the embassy with DCF. Anyways, as you said it doesn't matter now, you got interview date. Language matters nonetheless because I-130 and CR-1/IR-1 visas are not the same things. Good luck.

    NVC contacting you is the right procedure. Dates you see elsewhere don't apply.

    Should be fine.

    Just add the passport name under other names on the DS-260 before submitting. Your mother's visa and subsequent greencard will bear the name exactly as it appears in the passport. Given names: Maria Jane, Middle:Gonzales, Last: Diaz. If you don't want Gonzales to show up on the greencard, you'll need to get a new passport.

    Nobody applies for IR/CR visas from the US. Share link because I still find it strange Thailand is sharing interview dates for Immigrant Visas when other embassies only share dates for non-immigrant visas. Immigrant visa interview date allocations are only shared with NVC is my understanding. The only exception in some circumstances is when one expedites their IV interviews, then they are asked to find their own interview slot.

    You saw appointment dates for immigrant visas? Consulates don't publicly share this info. Where did you see this? Share link.

    Your case can be approved by USCIS and sent to NVC anytime from when it was sent to USCIS. However, it being sent to NVC does not mean you'll be getting a visa. You will only be issued a visa when your priority date becomes current and it seems you have at least 3 more years of waiting to become current. In some situations, if minor derivative children are involved you'll actually want to hope USCIS actually take their sweet time to approve the petition so that you can protect the child's age using CSPA.

    Congrats

    Op, tell gf to get the divorce papers going right now; no need for delaying this any further with the intentions you guys have in mind. Also, in all immigration matters always tell the truth about intentions when questioned. Good luck.

    That is correct. You naturalized so you need a separate petition for the child. USC cannot have a derivative beneficiary on immediate relative petition. Only LPR can. Since you naturalized, petition converted to that of a USC and the derivative fell off. So child will need their own I-130 petition.
  23. nastra30
    N600K doesn’t apply to you. File I130 for the child.
  24. nastra30
    This. They don't qualify for citizenship yet. They'll acquire citizenship once you petition them to the US and they successfully land in the US as a LPR, and in your physical custody.

    Then she should be good. No need for re-entry permit.
