  1. I-130 is for family reunification. Are your children USC's? If not, then they need I-130s for them as well. For an expedite, you will need to show how granting the visa expeditiously will help. That is, eo you have a job lined up in the States? Without this evidence, it is not likely the expedite will be granted. You filed Aug 2022. There's a reasonable chance the I-130 will be approved in the fall of this year. Quickly pay and complete the NVC steps and you might get the interview by the end of the year.
  2. Are you aware of the fees? I-130 currently is $535. There are proposals to increase this fee sometime this year. For the spousal and child visa process, it starts with the I-130 only (times two - one for each). Later on there are the NVC fees, but that won't be until the I-130s are approved, which will take a year or so.
  3. The only exception to the language and civics requirement that I know of is for medical or disabilities. A doctor or phycologist needs to fill out an N648.
  4. No specific order required. Nothing will be done with your case until all items are submitted.
  5. For W7, your wife will need to send in her passport or an official copy from the issuing agency - a copy from the gov department that issues passport. You waited until 3 business days before taxes are due to ask about this. I do not see how you can file your taxes in time. The easiest method is to paper file your tax as MFS - put in your wife's name and enter "NRA" in her SSN field. Later, when your wife gets her ITIN or SSN, you can amend your 2022 taxes.
  6. If the agent accepted your request, then you will receive mail from USCIS requesting evidence for the expedite request.
  7. You already petitioned twice. You will need to file a waiver.
  8. His PD is before the April bulletin date, so he is covered on that end (Nov 2019 is before Sept 2020). He just needs to wait for his interview.
  9. This is the second post in as many days about someone from the Netherlands trying to get ESTA after a denied B2. It is not impossible to get the ESTA approved, but for the near future it is not likely. Try anyway. I would caution to try for ESTA again instead of a B2.
  10. Ok, it helps that this is in the overall thread. Asking NVC won't accept submittals without this history is not helpful and invites wrong suggestions. Others have answered what you should submit.
  11. Do you have a joint sponsor? If so, are you uploading the document into the correct area? Also, are you uploading the correct 1099? 1099-Div, 1099-Int, SSA1099, 1099-R, 1099-B, etc?
  12. What does the rfe state? Doing the same thing over and over again with the same failed results is not advised. EDIT: Tax deadline is April 18.
  13. Do not do this. That is basically forgery, unless you are using something like Docusign where you apply your stored signature to each signature line. For documents without Docusign, you will need to wet-sign each document and then scan it.
  14. If you do get a 12 month ban/rehab, I suggest the two of you to marry and start over with the I-130. You may need to check with the embassy or the medical physician on how to handle the paperwork. Reason I suggest this is to have the 1 year wait work on your behalf. With a CR1, or IR1 if you wait 2 years after marriage before immigration, you skip the entire Adjustment of Status process. That is, you are an LPR and able to work/drive/travel internationally the day you arrive in the US. If you stick with the K1, then you need to marry and adjust status after arriving in the US. You cannot work or travel internationally, and in some states cannot drive, until you at least get the EAD and AP card (8+ months) or your GC (16+ months).
  15. I wouldn't. As a case officer, I would find it odd and perhaps a sign of desperation if I saw that an existing car title was updated with a non-driving spouse and little other evidence was presented. If there is good amount of other relationship and commingling of finances evidence, then the car title would be of little added value. Either way, I do not see how the car title helps. If it was a new purchase and both parties want to claim ownership from the get-go, that I would understand. Especially if both names are on the car loan.
  16. Is this for CR1? You posted in the K1 fiance forum. Processing times on VJ are estimates. It's as accurate as the members here update their information, plus/minus a variance. Game? Like Mario Brothers? I have not found USCIS humorous or fun. One word that sums them for me is Slow.
  17. You can petition for her, form I-130, can be filed online. Her family has to be listed in the form. They do not need to immigrate with her. Her category will be F2B. It will take 8 to 9 years, perhaps longer. Your son should keep his petition active, as a backup. Sibling F4 takes over 15+ years.
  18. No biometrics. Medical in her home country.
  19. One member here applied for ROC in 2019 and after 3.5 years filed N400. 4 months after filing for citizenship both ROC and N400 were approved. OP, you should file for citizenship. It has been faster nowadays and seems to shock the ROC back into life.
  20. Marry online and submit the I-130 online. No physical mailing required.
