  1. If you read the the USCIS link .. the 2 year period may be accrued both before and after adoption takes place. So if your spouse has physical custody now, and documentation to show this.. then this time counts
  2. https://www.uscis.gov/adoption/bringing-your-internationally-adopted-child-to-the-united-states#:~:text=Parents must accrue 2 years,during and after the adoption. There are two steps for this situation.. your wife must first legally adopt the child. You do not have to adopt. The USCIS step child relationship is acknowledged if the child is your spouses.. But birth of adoption.. SECONDLY .. before you can petition for your adopted step child you must meet the 2 year physical custody requirement as set out in the link above
  3. Not your job to make anyone else happy. That’s his choice. I’m sorry he has made such self centered self focused choices. Your turn to choose now. And I choose you !! Despite the undesired outcome, you have navigated the black hole of USCIS.. wow!! You can do anything you put your hand to ! Go live your life!! There’s much more to come ! Good luck
  4. At this stage the is no visa available that would allow this. Once your v wife legally adopts her .. and meets the USCIS custody requirements, then you can petition for her
  5. Yes you can do this but it will be processed with you living in your home country. Expect up to 2 years from when you apply to when you enter the US on your spouse visa. Your will be a LPR immediately on entry and can work travel etc from day 1. You cannot enter the US on a tourist visa with the intent to stay there and adjust status. You are now married so going through K 1 again is not an option
  6. Photos are pretty low on the evidence scale .. Most likely they will not be looked at .. documentation of time together such as travel documents boarding passes etc and bonafide marriage such as Co mingled finances, spouse your will IRA etc as beneficiary… is much stronger and should have been submitted at earlier stages. If you take extra photos they should be ones that add to this documentation
  7. On the next page after you get through the one where you select the reason.. make sure you choose “Tax Return” from the 4 options
  8. Your son… the petitioner.. will never be interviewed. At the time the visa applicants are interviewed, your son had better have significant documentation of his domicile in the US and intent to remain in the US as well as financial sponsorship .. or the visa will be deemed NOT a reunification and denied
  9. You can only supply what you have. Any vaccination records.. health records of visits to DR , urgent care etc? Listed on your health insurance ?
  10. You can do your interview in any country you have either citizenship or legal residency at the time of your interview. So if you are still studying in Australia, with a valid student visa, at the time of your interview, you can do your interview there. All police checks must be in accordance with the NVC guidelines and depend on your citizenship, country of birth and countries where you have lived and for how long
  11. Yep. Instructions on the official website are v helpful 🤪
  12. You will need documentation of the fines having been paid
  13. 1. Yes. Citation 2. you need to have court/county documents indicating the outcome of these citations 3. Driving record is a plus if it shows no convictions recorded.. eg traded higher fine for staying without fines for a future period.
  14. No problem. No form needed. You have 10 years to bring complying personal effects and household goods into the country duty free ( 12 months inly for motor vehicles). All goods needs to have been in your possession or available to you for over 12 months prior to bringing them with you . You should carry a list of the items you are bringing in .. Just in case CBP questions you on their origin.
  15. Biometrics are done at service centres .. Some are USCIS managed, others are outsourced to private companies .. field offices conduct interviews
  16. I went through this photo check 4 weeks ago , leaving DFW for Aust.
  17. Then marry and apply for a spouse visa CR1. It is far superior to K1 as you get LPR status the moment you enter.. no waiting for work or travel approval which can B take months after entering and marrying on the K 1. Processing time to GC is similar
  18. Case status check https://www.uscis.gov/tools/checking-your-case-status-online or though the myUSCIS account
  19. Yes this completely acceptable. Being in the US as a visitor when the petitioner filed the I130 is fine. Your plan is good. Visit. Marry Return home before your required return date.
  20. You will need a packing list for each box. Not fully detailed but by categories. Eg books, clothing, kitchen appliances. You will need to attest to having owned everything, or had in your possession, for over 12 months. Some items, such as motor vehicles, require extra paperwork
  21. Lawful permanent resident .. of which your GCard is evidence of your status Can you please help us help you by filling out the information on your timeline. Thx
  22. Yes if you now meet the financial requirements then you should fill out a new I 864 for the interview and bring v all documents for that .. Tax transcripts, recent pay slips etc. At the interview you also withdraw the joint sponsor paperwork for 2 reasons (1. inability of joint sponsor to meet requirements and 2. no longer needing a joint sponsor )
