  1. Maybe. We have seen extreme cases. I think your wife should start posting here.
  2. So that mom does not get a visa before her child and be faced with the ugly choice of abandoning her child to activate her visa or abandoning her immigration journey.
  3. I would go further than that and delay any NVC stuff until the child has CRBA and U.S. passport in hand.
  4. 1. The child is your dependent so the beneficiary will need to bring a new I-864. Yes the child needs a U.S. passport 2. Generally no
  5. Given your situation, it is worthwhile for him to make the attempt, and make the argument USCIS should have registered him. Were you married to him before he became an LPR?
  6. Are you a U.S. citizen? I-485 in 2019 would have said that USCIS would automatically register him. If at the time he did not have an SSN, it is possible he is registered. He should call SSS to see if he was registered. If so, he can provide his SSN to SSS to add his SSN to his record. If not, he can do an FOIA on his I-485, which will show that USCIS dropped the ball. While I doubt this will be enough to waive the requirement to wait before age 31 to file N-400, it will form the basis for his statement as to why he did not register: “because I assumed USCIS would do what it said it would do”.
  7. You need to go to court house of each jurisdiction where you paid your fine. Some jurisdictions might let you do this online. In some cases your records might have automatically been expunged. In that case you would get a statement of no record.
  8. Yeah. Because as worded it does not seem like this can be done online or by mail.
  9. As in your spouse? Actually the process is: * wait until age 31 * provide a status information letter from Selective Service * write a statement (does not have to be notarized) explaining why you did not register. Was the GC from I-485? However the answer to my first question might alter the above.
  10. My read of https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/VietNam.html is that a police certificate is that police certificate cannot be obtained from the embassy
  11. They do not qualify for an interpreter because they have been been LPRs long enough to qualify for the English language exemption. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/memos/2017-17-1-RoleUseInterpreters-PM-602-0125-1.pdf#:~:text=Additionally%2C unless the interviewee qualifies,because one of the criteria Additionally, unless the interviewee qualifies for an exception, the PM shall not apply to naturalization interviews because one of the criteria for establishing eligibility for naturalization includes demonstrating adequate proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400.pdf 13. Exemptions from the English Language Test Are you 50 years of age or older and have you lived in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for periods totaling at least 20 years at the time you file your Form N-400? Are you 55 years of age or older and have you lived in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for periods totaling at least 15 years at the time you file your Form N-400? Are you 65 years of age or older and have you lived in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for periods totaling at least 20 years at the time you file your Form N-400? (If you meet this requirement, you will also be given a simplified version of the civics test.) You are not a qualified interpreter for the purposes of a naturalization interview of your parent because you have an inherent bias. Table this for 10-15 years as appropriate, and save up the money to hire an attorney to handle this.
  12. Write a letter correcting the single date and send it to USCIS
  13. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?op6=All&op66=All&op7=Singapore&op1=3&op2=&dfile=No&op3=5&op4=1&op5=5%2C6%2C8%2C10%2C11%2C13%2C14%2C15%2C16%2C17%2C18%2C20%2C21%2C22%2C25%2C26%2C27%2C28%2C108%2C110%2C111%2C208%2C210%2C211&cfl=
  14. Were you 1. born in India and 2. after April 1, 1970 ? If so, if the BC was waived even though it was available, you were fortunate. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/India.html Birth Certificates Available: For persons born after April 1, 1970, birth certificates are available. For persons born prior to April 1, 1970, birth certificates are considered unavailable [..] Alternate Documents: If an individual is born after April 1, 1970 and is unable to obtain a birth certificate, the individual must obtain a certificate of non-availability [..] Exceptions: None Fortunately for me, * INS’s enforcement of civil document requirements was slipshod when I filed I-485 * My parents never had an interest in immigrating to the U.S. Also, per you did submit a BC.
  15. It is good you met again after noa1. Keep meeting until the K-1 visa is issued
  16. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-tax-credit
  17. Answer yes to the appropriate questions, and upload evidence that those cases were resolved
  18. If you do not know your A number, enter “unknown” into I-485. USCIS knows your A number
  19. Prepare for another RFE. You might need to cite an official document that notes this naming convention for passports. i am surprised you were able to get GC without a BC
  20. Given the Pac-12 is a Power 5 conference with guaranteed births in the playoffs, the issue of Pac-12 dwindling to 2 teams will solve itself. And no I don’t really care
  21. 1. Do you have records you worked for employer 1 after getting your GC? 2. Did you intend to change jobs when you filed I-485? 3. Was there an I-485 interview? 4. Is employer 2 in the same industry as employer 1?
  22. If employment based, yes it has the potential to cause a denial.
