It means that a moderator moved your post to the forum where it best fits. Nothing to worry about .. Just an admin process that goes on all the time. It’s easier to get good answers if it’s in the “ best fit “ forum

I went through NVC stage 9 years ago and things have changed since then .. Hopefully someone more recent will respond .. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/PDF-other/NVC_role_in_IVs_for_applicants_November_2016.pdf not sure of this number is still current

They may be scheduled together by the NVC.. But if one goes ahead of the other, contact the consulate by email and give both application numbers , and ask for the two to be scheduled at the same time If you don’t yet have the first interview date letter, try calling NVC and ask them to link the two together.

I would add it as unsolicited extra documentation yes. No it wont expedite it.

Sorry to hear. Despite some statements that it would be a “slam dunk”, unfortunately most are not. Reapply for sure .. but she will have to overcome the concerns that resulted in the IO denying her .. not likely to be an easy task

They track many things in detail.

If they leave before the AOS process is fully complete and their GC has approved, their AOS applications will be cancelled and no refund given. If you are certain that you fully and correctly responded to the RFE then the NOA should come soon. If it is denied because of your incomplete forms then you can apply again immediately .. And pay again .. This time making v v sure you’ve got everything correct. Time between the finish of their authorised stay and the issue of the NOA puts them in unauthorised stay and at risk of deportation if picked up by ICE. The chance of that happening depends on your location and how much they are out in public spaces where ICE are known to be .. Not an easy decision I’m sure …

Yes good plan Good records of v in b and out will make filing simpler Remember too that the day you leave and the day you return are considered “in USA” days not out.. its only full 24hr periods midnight to midnight that are days out of the country. So if you depart on Friday and return the next Friday , you only count 6 days absence. But try not to run to close to the limit !! You may have emergency travel needed that might take you over the limit. Better to play it safe until naturalization is complete, then go for it !!

It’s not on a calendar year basis. It’s over the 3 years of being a GC holder. There is both continuous residency ( no more than 6 months out of the US for any one stay) and physical presence . ( maximum of 18 months out of the past 36 months present in the US) So she could do the proposed travel in 2025 without breaking the Continuous residence, and still meet the presence requirements, as long as time out in 2024 and 2026 does not exceed 13 months total, with no trip exceeding 6 months.

Nope. Not for this visa type. For Adjustment of status yes

Exactly what is said. The link goes to the USCIS webpage where the OP will find the answer to the question asked .. The alternate documents of the specified document is not available ., it’s up to USCIS to specify if an alternate document is acceptable.

I130 for immediate relatives are not processed according to your residency. Uscis has certain centers focusing on specific application types and are actively managing the load at all centres.

Spouse visa IR/Cr1 do not allow for dependents ( know in immigration terms as a ‘derivative’ ) You will need to file an I130 for him , in order to apply for an IR2 for your stepson. This will establish your relationship to him .. and this must meet certain conditions “.. And will require his birth certificate among other documents.

According to OP Entered Nov 2023. Has not married @Reda 21 you are out of legal /authorized stay. You need to return to your home country

It is SO good to hear from you again… to know that your strength has brought you through such a painful journey ! Go for it !! This process is the easiest for sure !! Stay in touch !

As you stated, your intent was to visit, your circumstances changed. You may be asked a question or two at the AOS interview , but you simply tell the truth. Most people find they can do the AOS without a lawyer. Just read the forms and instructions very very well and take the time to make sure you have everything needed. But if you can submit the AOS before the end of your allowed stay period, that will keep you in authorized stay while your application is processing

There is nothing at this stage hope can do. My husband card came in 6 weeks .. mine took 7 months. Never got anywhere with calling /emailing etc.

GC can come weeks or months ( up to 1 year) after entering. No rhyme or reason. You will be told you are with in normal processing at 90 days so don’t even bother. The receipt number is the IOE number you were given when you the GC fee online . Use your stamped visa as that is your temporary I551 GC, good for everything the plastic GC is good for, and valid for 12 months from every.

Probably not but you can try

Read the guide on this website and also on the USCIS website It’s all there already .. And no typos or weird autocorrect

yes i encounter this every time i fly to aust. Was actually simple as an lpr with GE. But I’ve finally worked a way around both ends of the entry.

Just what OldUser said

The other document option is limited to visa number or GC number. Both for entry into US only

You cant check in on a passport which doesnt automatically give you the right to enter your destination country unless you have the required visa. And being a citizen of the destination country you cannot get a visa. Check in is about matching ID and having documentation that allows you to enter your destination. The US CBP has no formal process for exiting passengers. You will have to check in on the passport that gives you entry into the destination. My flight to Aus from Us is always on my Aust passport otherwise i wont nt able to board. . On the return trip I check in on my US passport but give both US and Aus passports at the exit Border control desk .. smartgate cant be used as the system doesn't link the 2 passports Keep you boarding passes as evidence of the outgoing flight

No they are not checking or “entering” anything. Simply matching ID with name on the boarding pass
