    As of today, there is no fee for I-131 when filed in association with an I-485

    The lower the expectations I set, the more pleasant the surprises. If the CBPO asks about her gc ….

    You mean the I-193 fee? It is $585 per https://www.uscis.gov/i-193 . Sometimes, IMHO, most times, it is waived. If the courier loses the green card, you looking at: * I-90 fee: $540 * I-131a fee: $575 Total: $1,115 On top of the $225 courier fee. Stapling a green card (rendering it useless to a machine reader, so that is an I-90 fee) and shipping a green card card (to a war zone especially) are just bad ideas. Have you ever been a green card holder?

    What is wrong with: ?

    Yes.

    Sound advice. Licking has been the secret of his success.

    Then it means nothing. Legally he cannot take oath without I-751 being approved.

    Bring an employment verification letter.

    Is there an actual date, time, and place?

    Some do

    And you have waited long enough. Go to a different SSA office. And keep spiraling outward to offices until you a positive result.

    When the gc shows, wait 10 working days and go to SSA to apply for an SSN. If an SSN has been allocated, SSA might tell you.

    A significant number of cases are processed in Last In, First Out order now, as part of meeting USCIS’s goals for Service Level Objectives. In this way USCIS can claim to be doing better even though I-485 cases from 2019-2021 sit untouched in limestone caves. Enjoy and congrats! Your likely penance starts January 2025 when you file I-751.

    They each have a case with immigration court. My understanding is until that changes, USCIS has no jurisdiction to move their green card cases forward. An immigration lawyer will properly orchestrate the necessary steps. @Misscloud Not to me. If one has no authorized presence, a border state is the worst place to live in.

    Ultimately this is up to the embassy to decide, and if the embassy decides they want her to sign an I-864a, she either does that or you find another joint sponsor.

    1. Entering the U.S. on sn ESTA with intent to file I-485 is immigration fraud. 2. Even if it was not fraud, because the B. DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATIONS chart is not current for F-4 and because USCIS currently uses that chart for family based I-485s, he is not eligible to file I-485. IOW if he filed I-485, he would not be allowed to stay in the U.S. for decades waiting fir his priority date to become current.instead I-485 would be denied and he would get a 10 year ban at minimum.

    A letter will not suffice. If this is the same lawyer who advised you to file N-600K for your daughter, you need to find a new lawyer. Your father would file I-864 and depending whether he needs his wife’s income to qualify or depending on the demands of the embassy, his wife would file I-864a.

    The petitioner has to sign an I-864 unless the beneficiary can be credited with 40 social security credits or the beneficiary will automatically acquire U.S. citizenship upon entering the U.S.

    All 3. 1. You file I-130 now for your brother 2. When parent 1 becomes an LPR, parent 1 files I-130 for your brother 3. When parent 2 becomes an LPR, parent 2 files I-130 for your brother First I-130 to visa interview wins. This provides double redundancy in case 2 people among your parents and you pass away before he enters on his visa.

    your timeline says: US Entry : 2022-06-21 Assuming * she has the passport she used when she entered the U.S. on her immigration visa * that passport is not expired * the visa and passport are not damaged she can board the flight to the U.S. provided she arrives before June 21, 2023. She can expect to pay an I-193 fee when arrives at the U.S. port of entry.

    Looks good.

    Fine, by oft repeated standards used here, for each meeting I submitted flimsy evidence. It doesn’t. It matters to visa approval. Just not, IMO, at Manilla. Not at all, I have a successful I-129F, K-1, I-485, done my way, efficiently, using the same base evidence for each, in a manner that apparently irritates you. So no desperation on my end.
  24. Mike E
    Define flimsy US Embassy Manilla correct? Seems it tends to be a one meeting embassy.
  25. Mike E
    Great, share the RFEs And risk an RFE if USCIS thinks the evidence that goes with it is flimsy. Also two meetings listed in the example on VJ.
