    On what basis is the for applying for a passport ? Are you a USC? As they weren’t born in the US, has the USC parent filed for CRBA for the children? Does the usc parent meet the criteria for passing on citizenship to the children? We really need more info.

    Going on the information you have given in your question.. assuming the “entered with a 6 month visa “ refers to a spouse immigration visa and not a tourist visa … You interviewed for your immigrant visa at the US Consulate in your home country. Yes you entered using an immigrant visa The Consulate .. city and country is the full answer.. is the “Place” The green card you received is evidence of your status only. You became an Permanent resident the moment you were permitted to enter into the US on your arrival

    Things like that will be updated at the interview. The letter you eventually get from the Consulate will instruct you on what to bring to the interview.
  4. Lil bear
    The DS 260 cannot be updated. It is “up to date” at the time it is submitted. .
  5. Lil bear
    We did it on the forms that were mailed.
  6. Lil bear
    No, except for any documents listed on the form.. You are applying under the 5 yr rule, which does not require you to still be married to the petitioner and to provide evidence of such. read the USCIS guide to the N 400 .. passing close attention to the 5 yr option.. You will find it on the uscis website. it is simpler documentation that the 3yr option

    You can be married and not live together for various reasons. Must be married 3 years Must have resided with the USC spouse for those 3 years. Spouse must have been USC for all the three years Occasionally, one of the married couple has to live away from the marital home for a reason.. study, work, internship…to name a few.. And they will struggle to provide evidence of living in marital union .. but you haven’t even been married for 3 years, so this unusual situation does not apply to you
  8. Lil bear
    No you cannot apply under the 3 year rule In order to be eligible for the 3 yr rule for applying you must: 1. Be a GC holder for > 3 years. AND 2.Be married to a USC for >3 years The USC must have been a USC for the complete 3 years You meet the first but not the second requirement. Wait either until the 3rd anniversary of your marriage OR the 5 th anniversary of your GC.

    Updated AOS and evidence of current income. .. payslips, Employer letter with pay details etc. If 2023 tax return was not submitted to NVC, then download the IRS tax transcript and take that also Moved to IR/CR 1 process forum

    Some applicants are forced by timing/availability etc to have the medical after the interview. If this does happen, the decision on the visa with be held up until the medical report is in the hands of the IO. It is neither the recommended nor easier route .. Just sometimes it has to happen that way

    K1 is for fiancé NOT spouse and the marriage must take place in the US after entering in the K1 visa . CR1 is for couples already married. You can start the CR1 process as soon as you have the required documentation in hand.

    On what basis are you applying for this ?
  13. Lil bear
    The application never progressed past the first step. A visa was never issued. I think there is a question on the I130 regarding previous applications .. Just answer honestly.. they already know anyway.. and the I129f would have expired all on its own after inaction and time
  14. Lil bear
    Have you thoroughly read the full instructions on the official website ?
  15. Lil bear
    They don’t “Have “ to look at anything except the DS160 and any other requested documents.. … of which there are usually none
  16. Lil bear
    Because 1. there is no way the IO can verify the validity of a previously unseen document at the interview. 2. there is no time allocated for or interest in renewing documents at a visitor visa interview
  17. Lil bear
    Because the officer wont even look at it.
  18. Lil bear
    Irrelevant for your situation.
  19. Lil bear
    Yes. They will determine which of the vaccines you need.. and do them then. .. Some places will tell you to get by them done privately .. it may be cheaper.. then, when you provide the documentation to the clinic, they will finalise the medical i suggest you ask the question on the Canada subforum … How have people handled the lack of records and the need for vaccinations But go ahead with the DS 260 answers as I suggested .. You only need to decide how you are going to get the vaccines after NVC has sent your completed application to the Consulate
  20. Lil bear
    Put “No”. In the explanation section put “ Will be completed at Medical” assuming that’s your plan .. moved to IR1 process and procedures forum as this best reflects OPs question.

    @yuna628 oh I hear you. Airfare prices are through the roof for me too. Over double what they were 4 years ago.. And with my parents declining health and increasing age 95 and counting) I need to be there more often .. 😵‍💫😓 Hope you get there soon.
  22. Lil bear
    Usually it is eye test, written test, practical test for someone over age 18/21 depending on state
  23. Lil bear
    Honestly .. you will be lucky to be face to face with an interviewing officer for more than 5 minutes. The IO comes to the face to face having reviewed your application DS 160 etc and is unlikely to change their mind from the decision they made based when they reviewed the submitted documents .. Im done.. out of here.
  24. Lil bear
    Not always. We adjusted status in 1981 from work visa then returned to Australia 8 years later. Returned 8 yrs ago on IR5 parent visa and both received new A number
  25. Lil bear
    Context. After the K1 holder arrives and marries, they just adjust status requiring a the sponsor to have a higher income than reworded for the sponsorship of a K1. Experience reveals many K1 sponsors don’t do research into the follow on required.. and find themselves struggling to post for the AOS process. This diy site and the v experienced members such as @ Boiler .. are simply trying to reduce “next step” surprises.
