And they don’t want that CO to conduct the interview. I think telling an ambassadors and their staff how to do their jobs is a losing proposition From your post history, I gather: * your father served in the Afghanistan military * the embassy is in Turkey. It doesn’t surprise me he is getting more scrutiny, and it doesn’t surprise me that a CO with specific expertise oh whatever issue the embassy is concerned with is deemed to be required.

Options 1. hire a translator, 2. risk the interview being terminated and case denied. 3. attempt to reason with the embassy Assuming the embassy isn’t making a mistake, my read is the embassy wants a specific CO to conduct the interview. That CO doesn’t speak your father’s language Consider completing the visajourney timeline for his case and asking the moderator to move thus thread to a country specific forum.

Why can’t you get one?

he should bring the missing originals (and photocopies so that he doesn’t have to leave the originals). He should follow instructions

From the link; ”If you were under the age of 21 at the time the petition was filed, you are eligible for CSPA and will not age out. However, you must remain unmarried in order to qualify.”

There isn’t enough information to speculate 1. Does he have past marriages? 2. Has he ever applied for a visa before? 3. Were either of his parents U.S. citizens or LPRs? 4. Does his work / education history include positions with law enforcement or military or research and development in military related disciplines? etc If you probe deep enough there is usually a reason

My read of https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa is that the age is frozen when I-130 is filed. Thus, 1. no age out for your daughter’s case 2. no basis for expedite

Sometimes not bringing originals brings extra scrutiny to a case.

Do not use global entry until you have a U.S. passport and until you have updated your global entry with it. If you attempt global entry without doing these steps you run the risk of global entry being terminated Also your global entry card is tied to your old citizenship. Do not use the card at any CBP port of entry hence firth. You can order a new card once you get your U.S. passport into the global entry system. The next time you renew REAL ID, even if it gives you an online renewal option, renew in person at the motor vehicle department using your passport card. Do not do so until you have your new social security card. Update global entry with new REAL ID (can be done online). Consider filing a new I-9 at work using your passport card. This might expand opportunities at work. It also might reduce opportunities. It depends whether you are in an industry dominated by H1-B workers or not.

I am saying what I would do. I would not consider it lying because I would not have received the proceeds from parents’ customers. The proceeds from the acts would have been passed directly from the customers to my parents (or perhaps through a 4th party, such as a procurer). If a well known prostitute regularly buys a bread from a baker and the baker later files I-485, has the baker received proceeds from prostitution? I think not. So personally I am certain about the answer I would write down, were I in your situation. The English that we use in common communications and the English used in laws are two distinct languages. What does does it mean to “receive proceeds” in this situation? That’s a legal question. What you should never do is naively write down an erroneous answer that is going to get you a permanent ban. Be legally certain before further. You are no longer in DIY territory. Get a one hour consultation with an attorney to resolve this issue

It is mutual. “Should” does not equal “will” https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ says 80 percent of I-407s complete in 2 months. So 20 percent take more than 2 months. Nobody believes these times for type of form. Logically I-407 is not a priority for USCIS. We’ve 3 weeks left until the end of 2022. So you will still be an LPR in 2023.

You will still be an LPR in 2023. These cases can take years.

You should hire a lawyer especially since you are considering a waiver. Waivers are never DIY. I would * not hire a lawyer for this. * answer no because as a minor child I’ve no control as over how my parents earned a living. I expect if you answer yes, your I-485 will be denied.

This goes against CBP published procedure and I believe the published law. CBP’s published procedure: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-3671?language=en_US#:~:text=The CBP officer will collect,final determination on your case “You can contest the abandonment charge in immigration court. To do this, you will need to inform the CBP officer that you would like to appear before an immigration judge and check the appropriate box on form I-862 (Notice to Appear), which will be provided to you. The CBP officer will collect your actual green card, but will give you a temporary replacement document that confirms that you continue to be a permanent resident of the United States (until the immigration judge makes a final determination on your case). You will then be paroled into the United States. ” An armed police force always has absolute power over you. In general you comply when presented force and rely on the courts to sort it out. If CBP turned you over to ICE pending appearance, you would hire an attorney to represent you in a bond hearing and bond out. The judge will likely be as puzzled as you. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/788194-i551-stamp-travel-in-removal-proceedings/ If you fear abuse of power by CBP, whether you are a U.S. citizen, LPR, or otherwise, your remedy is to stay inside the USA and never leave and also never come within 100 miles of the border. Here is the safe zone: Yes that means Hawaii and the territories are off limits. If you are outside the USA, your remedy is to not return.

1. No 2. No. To your point though, a notary will notarize this time of document. But it is not necessary The affidavits should indicate citizenship and if not citizens, status inside USA I would not get affidavits from non citizens or relatives.

Surprised the beneficiary didn’t wait 2 months to enter on the CR-1 and avoid I-751. I quickly skimmed your timeline and post history. Everything in your timeline was fast considering the circumstances. Your case has defied all conventional wisdom. Congratulations!

What was your date of marriage?

It’s always decades away. It isn’t happening

* copy of gc * copy of extension letter * irs tax transcripts for past 5 years * if applicable, evidence you registered for the draft or a status information letter and an explanation as to why you didn’t register * evidence you have been meeting your child support and spousal support obligations * birth certificates of your children * divorce decree

Federal is enough Passport stamps that correspond with international trips taken together are fine. We didn’t bother.

https://www.uscis.gov/g-884 ” G-884, Request for the Return of Original Documents Use this form to request that USCIS return original documents that you submitted to establish eligibility for an immigration benefit.”

you can alway apply. Letter for what? Provide evidence that his job grants yoga waiver of the physical presence and continuous residency requirements. I don’t think it is DIY as it seems like new hires at USCIS get put on N-400s.

That’s not a legal option.

DS-260 is filed by the beneficiary and not the person who filed I-130. So their parents.
