One way is fine. Sometimes a round trip is cheaper than a one way so look for both. Approved doesn’t mean “passport with visa is in hand”. Book nothing that is not fully refundable until passport with visa is in hand unless you can afford to eat the ticket or the change fees.

In my part of the STEM world this is not the case. In particular degrees from UK, India, Canada, Australia (I.e. where most foreign computer programmers working in the USA are educated) are considered equivalent. I can’t think of a single hire / no-hire decision that was made during my career because of what country issued a degree.

That part of the story doesn’t add up. And it doesn’t matter if the OP became a U.S. citizen when his father naturalized. OP should stop admiring this problem and should focus on getting to a US port of entry. Refuse to sign I-407. NTA risk? So what? If OP is a citizen, they won’t deport him. Eventually it will get sorted.

No.

1. You didn’t fill out I-130 correctly. 2. You misunderstood CSPA You need a lawyer to possibly recover from your mistakes and to prevent future mistakes.

https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa “ If you are a family preference (including VAWA self-petition), employment-based preference, or diversity visa (DV) applicant, calculate your CSPA age by subtracting the number of days your petition was pending (pending time) from your age on the date an immigrant visa becomes available to you (age at time of visa availability). However, you must remain unmarried in order to qualify. The formula for calculating CSPA is:

As far as CBP is concerned, he is an LPR. CBP has no legal reason to not admit him.

Malaysian citizens require visas to enter the USA. If the embassy errs by issuing the child a B visa (we’ve seen it before) then if I were the U.S. citizen parent the child isn’t leaving the U.S. without a U.S. passport and passport card in hand.

Seems like an endorsement of Trump 2024

You need to hire a lawyer. There is now a danger they will age out. The 23 year old might have already aged out.

Unfortunately this can take a year. When was the child born?

What you enter should match the birth certificate.

Jamaican citizens have a visa waiver for Mexico. And Panama. Fly to a Mexico via Panama. Walk into the U.S.

Does he have his green card still?

Yeah denial is a real risk. And in the below Nigeria. Which looks like west Africa to me.

Also, some people have negative reactions to this, but I would put this somewhere on your resume: ”Authorized to work in the U.S.” or even: ”Lawful Permanent Resident of the U.S.”

Indeed. I had years earning over $5K in referrals alone.

Master of Engineering degrees have been around decades if not centuries in this country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Engineering https://eecs.berkeley.edu/academics/graduate/industry-programs/meng I’d be hard pressed to find a state university that doesn’t offer a master of engineering degree. Applying for jobs online is rarely effective. You need to have someone inside present your resume to a hiring manager. Are there people on your UK LinkedIn network who work for companies that have engineering operations in both countries? Contact them and ask them to make a referral for a job posted externally and then ask them to send a your resume directly to the hiring manager. When I did this on behalf of former coworkers, this generated a phone screen call over 50 percent of time. Literally orders of magnitude more effective than applying for 100s of jobs online each day.

And then your letter says: You need to file I-824. This costs several hundreds of dollars and might have added a year to your case.

did you tell the officer you have an IR-1? You need to go to a CBP Deferred Inspection office to get your stamp. Do you have your boarding pass still?

Can’t be a worse press secretary than the status quo

USCIS has already ruled on that point. Based on what I read in the other thread, I think it is an even lower (than hardship waiver) percentage play to appeal it to federal court. The high percentage play is as @mindthegap stated.

So the 3rd sponsor can have the wiener owner produce an employment verification letter. If the 2nd sponsor has an employee with responsibility for finances (eg a CFO), then that employee can produce an employment verification letter.
