  1. Marry online and submit the I-130 online. No physical mailing required.
  2. USCIS site has all the information, including links for vaccine requirements, TB testing, income requirements, instructions for the petitioner, information for the beneficiaries, etc. DR, Chile and Jamaica are not on the Humanitarian Parole list. If you read the USCIS site, you would know this. Either this is a a prank post or a scam. I'm out.
  3. What is your issue/concern?
  4. Please read the guidelines here for K1, and follow your K1 progress tracking group in the forums. There is no NVC welcome letter for K1, and there are no NVC steps. NVC just creates the case number and sends the I-129F to the embassy.
  5. Google the actual name and you will get plenty of information, including vaccination and TB testing requirements. "USCIS Humanitarian Parole"
  6. 1. Your wife files I-130 online for your MIL For the relevant question, Part 5, 61.a and 61.b, enter the city/town and state where your MIL lives in the US (I assume she lives with you). For Part 5, 62.a,b,c, leave blank - your MIL WILL NOT seek consular process for IR5. She will get a receipt number 2. You wife will get a receipt number for the I-130. 3. Use the I-130 receipt number to help your MIL file I-485, I-131, I-765 and I-864 (filled by your wife, and perhaps I-864a filled by you). Mail it in to the appropriate address with the $1225 fee. See if your MIL needs to also file I-693 for her medical. 4. Wait for biometrics. Go to biometrics. 5. Wait some more. 6. Wait even more. 7. AOS interview.
  7. There was a poster recently whose AOS was denied because they knew their husband before getting their student visa. You may face some issues. Or it may be routine.
  8. If you waited to naturalize, your child could have been a derivative of your wife, category F2A. Now, the only option is I-130 for your child. You can delay your wife's case at NVC until your son's petition is approved.
  9. That is at the discretion of USCIS. You were lucky. There are some who get their N400 interview and could not be approved because the ROC was still in process. They had to wait additional months for the ROC interview. Always prepare for the worst, never assume USCIS will make anything easy.
  10. For I-130, any. There is no dedicated center per region. You mail it to the TX lockbox or complete it online and they will send it to whichever center is on rotation.
  11. There is no set procedure for DCF. You need to keep in contact with the embassy and follow their instructions.
  12. You are jumbling the various steps into one. For clarity: I-129F for your fiance. One form, one fee. List fiance's children in that form. After I-129F approval and sent to embassy (about 14-24 months from now): DS-160 plus medical for each person, K1 and K2 categories for the DS-160 fees After fiance and kids arrive in the US: Marriage and related costs, within 90 days of arrival. After marriage: I-485 set of forms (I-131, I-765, I-864, etc) and fees for each. OR: Marry and file I-130 and fees for each. Less expensive overall.
  13. Up to you. The CR1 visa acts as a temporary I-551 for 1 year upon endorsement. Let's say you enter the 2 months from now - June. Your passport is your temporary greencard valid until June 2024. That passport expires Oct 2024. You are good When the beneficiary receives the plastic greencard in the mail, the temporary I-551 in the passport becomes redundant. Let's say it takes 2 months to get the GC - Aug 2023. That gives you 14 months to renew your passport.
  14. It is based if the applicant lived in certain MENA countries.
  15. This seems to be a recent issue. I have seen this come up within the last year, but not before that. I wonder if USCIS is getting more stringent with how the form is filled, or if there is something with the online forms that forces USCIS to assume AOS if both sections are filled or both sections are left blank. Regardless, for the OP, the only option seems to be to file the I-824.
  16. K1 is different. For CR1 the interview is scheduled by the NVC For K1, the applicant has to self schedule. Good luck and let us know how long it takes.
  17. There is nothing more to do, unfortunately. If the embassy informs you to wait for instructions, then you'll need to wait.
