Agreed. VisaJourney cannot gove you legal advice. She became pregnant through: 1. artificial insemination from an anonymous donor 2. artificial insemination from a known donor, or 3. coitus with another man ? No such law. No such law. The law however is that to immigrate as a spouse of a U.S. citizen, she has to be in a bonafide relationship with that spouse, and the onus is on the couple to prove it. Your evidence seems weak, but perhaps that is not the case. So, 4. When did you find her online? 5. When was the first meeting? 6. How many days did you meet in person before filing I-130? 7. How many days have you met in person to date?

Just list the address of employer at the time the beneficiary worked there

If these are your biological children, then because they will become U.S. citizens when they enter on their IR-2 visas, you must use I-864W. Are you married to their other parent?

Seems like an E-2 visa for this situation might work.

And does it conform to: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Nigeria.html Birth Certificates Available Fees: Issuance of birth certificates is free for infants under 2 years of age.

NPC birth and death Certificates were issued under the 1979 Law in these States only. The 1992 Law (Births and Deaths, etc. (Compulsory Registration) Act, No. 69 of 1992 was made to make the NPC birth and death registration to be of Countrywide application.

Go to the nearest SSA office on Monday

I am not aware of that. The stamped visa can be taken to an SSA office to get an SSN. Yes if the documents filed with NVC requested that. Never wait too long for an SSN.

Do you have a birth certificate? Does your mother have a birth certificate?

Repeating the argument with the same data does not make the argument. Just because cases from X days ago are being processed does not mean cases from X+1 days ago or X-1 days ago are not being processed. I am more interested in and see as more meaningful, the average wait of those who recently had interviews. Even when I change the 90 at the end of the URLs to 30 days, CR-1 is still faster (566 days for K-1 vs 543 days for CR-1). Every K-1 beneficiary and petitioner says that. Then reality hits. And this website and others have daily complaints / questions about * being bored at home * home sick * can they work remotely in the U.S. without work authorization * I-751 is taking too long * my extension letter expired and I did not get an unrestricted SS card. How do I work? Next year you can add to the list: * I-485 costs too much * what do you mean I-131 and I-765 are not free * I-751 costs too much * I got a 96 month extension letter I did a what-if analysis on whether my wife and I should have done CR-1 instead of K-1, and CR-1 won hands down, despite having approval times for I-129F, I-485, I-751 that people filing today can only dream of. And the what-if assumed that we would drag out the CR-1 process so that my wife entered the U.S. on our 2 year wedding anniversary. And yet the trend line that keeps getting posted as proof that K-1 is faster is also a trend line showing K-1 processing times going up. Nonetheless, I concede that K-1’s real trend line is better than CR-1’s for now. Whether it overtakes CR-1 and gets to 350 days in 12 months I doubt (because no data is being presented to support that argument). Regardless our K-1 case was about 330 days (less than 350) and as noted in my what-if analysis, 330 days was a juice not worth the squeeze. I always prioritize the interests of the beneficiary. K-1 is not in the best interests of the beneficiary and if there are K-2s under age 18, not in their interests either.

K-1: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/stats.php?history=90 590 days to interview. CR-1: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/irstats.php?history=90 537 days to interview. CR-1 is faster. Long gone are the days when K-1 was faster to get the beneficiary to the U.S. And I have never heard of a single K-1 become anything but depressed over the lengthy I-485, I-131, and I-765 process. Except for ones whose process took 90 days less.

St Loots strikes again!

Generally people do not pay the $220 fee until a visa is in hand. Personally I would not pay until the visa is in hand and it is 24 hours before my flight departs. So where is OP’s beneficiary in the timeline?

https://www.uscis.gov/archive/uscis-response-to-covid-19 “DNA Collection for Overseas Beneficiaries of Form I-130 Petitions” 1. Determine if the U.S. embassy in Nigeria has resumed oversight of the DNA collection process. 2. If so follow their process. It appears that the U.S. embassy in Nigeria has resumed oversight so go to https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/dna-relationship-testing-procedures.html . In which case, you pick the lab, the lab sends the test to the embassy, and the embassy sets up an appointment with your mother to have her DNA collected. You in turn have your DNA collected as below: 3. If not, if is really straight forward. Go to https://www.aabb.org/standards-accreditation/accreditation/accredited-facilities/aabb-accredited-relationship-testing-facilities to find the lab nearest you that will collect your DNA. If the nearest lab is not convenient, it will arrange to have a local lab collect your sample. It will also arrange to have a lab in Nigeria collect your mom’s sample. Modern medical science and technology will take it from there.

The answer depends on how fast you can divorce and your beliefs in what the law says. Within the VisaJourney community, there are * those who believe the law compels you to amend I-751 to a divorce waiver once you file for divorce, and * those who believe it is fine to not inform USCIS unless USCIS asks. Some among the latter think it is fine to get a final divorce decree and not inform USCIS before I-751 is approved. File for divorce. You do not need his permission. Do you have a job that pays more than $1500 / month?

No faster way, sorry

Not before it is used to enter the U.S. yes. The stamped visa is a temporary I-551 good for one year Someone should check their credit card statement

What does it say?

Will they state this in USD or in another currency?

Also, if you cannot prove even partial legal custody, you cannot prove she is a U.S. citizen.

At one point there was a fair election that put Hugo Chavez in power. People voted for Marxism. They should have understood that once in power it does not voluntarily relinquish it.

You were not living outside the U.S. from 2019-2020 so the answer is self evident.

The receipt can come back as fast as a week, but 2 weeks is the norm. That would violate the terms and conditions of visajourney.com, so none, sorry.

These are apparently not considered valid full custody grants by the passport agency. So your options are to: * find your ex and get his approval for her passport * get a court to grant you full custody * speculative: get a federal court to order DoS to waive the father’s permission. I think DoS will fight this on grounds that it sets a potentially bad precedent.

Do you have any documents granting you full custody of your daughter?
