    I find it a hassel to book multiple flights and try to organize transfers visa 3rd countries And more expensive I would research the visa requirements for the country you wish to visit with your US passport. If it is is something simple, like an electronic visa or on-arrival visa, then just use your US passport, register and pay the fee. If it's something more complicated, like requiring you to visit that country's embassy or mail your passport in, then I would seek the options that Olduser and MikeE described. I am curious about your Spanish passport: if there is a name change due to marriage locally, the name cannot be changed on the passport?

    It is unusual to go for another A.S. degree if you already completed one. Natural progression is to go for a B.S. I would hire someone who spent those extra 2 years getting a B.S or working. Multiple A.S., to me, would be an indication that the candidate has no idea what they want to do and is perhaps a career student.

    So, the child is a qualifying relative to file the I-601 for the mom?

    USCIS doesn't have knowledge of all country's official BC requirements. They just need to confirm the family member relationship. AoS doesn't need an official.BC. I'm not sure why you submitted it. It needs confirmation that you are a USC or LPR. NVC does check to see if the BC is official or not. They know the requirements for each country and makes aure the BC is they correct type.

    Make sure the I-130 is opened by the Adobe desktop app and not via a browser like Chrome. An option is to file the I-130 online.

    1. Do you mean your current income or what you made last year based on your tax return? 2. If this income is near the threshold, then you may need a joint sponsor. The $125% of the poverty limit is the MINIMUM needed to even be considered. It is not a guarantee of qualification.

    If the expedite was denied, and your situation or reason for expedite has not changed, then the subsequent requests will also get denied. You will need a stronger case - for example, a new complication or diagnosis with medical evidence.

    You can sponsor your mom. After she arrives with her IR5 visa, she can immediately petition him as F2A, which currently has no wait for a visa number. About 2 years for your mom's IR5 visa. Then, about 2 years for your stepdad's F2A visa. If your step siblings are not married and remain unmarried, then your mom can file F2B petitions for them (about 8 years to process).

    Save your application. Open a new webpage in private mode or incognito mode. Navigate to the website, login to your account and try again.

    Hey, N400 filing guideline states you need to wait 3 months after moving to another state, but you want to file 2 months early just because. Have fun arguing interpretation of CFR title 8 and taking USCIS to court. You do you. Respect.

    Fill in the section regarding the embassy location, which will be Islamabad, Pakistan. DO NOT fill in the section about the field office for adjustment of status. IF you do, USCIS will hold onto the I-130 after it is approved and not send it to the NVC. This will cause delays and more $$$ as you will need to file an I-824 for each petition.

    You can get approved, asked to submit additional evidence, called for a second interview, or denied. It all depends on the strength of your case.

    At NVC, there are 2 sections: AOS - this is where the petitioner submits the I-864 and supporting documents for that form. IV - this is where the visa applicant (the petitioner's beneficiary) fills out the DS-260 and uploads civil documents (photo, passport, marriage cert, divorce cert, birth cert, police cert, etc).

    Intent to marry letters need to be signed but does not need to be notarized. Perhaps your fiance should consult another lawyer. Also, as @JeanneAdil can confirm, K1 fiance visas are difficult to get for Morocco. You will need to meet a high bar of relationship evidence and front load the petition. Please research the K1 visa and CR1 visa for Morocco thoroughly.

    As stated, U4U was set up to handle expedited entry to the US for humanitarian reasons. Because that program is in place, it will be difficult to get expedited visa interviews. If they are in Ukraine, they cannot interview there so the point is moot. If they are in Europe or elsewhere, they are safe and therefore do not need an expedite. If they need to evacuate to the EU or elsewhere and housing/funds/etc are not available or low, the U4U program is the fastest method for them to get to the US. It doesn't hurt to request the expedite again- the worst is NVC will decline it again.

    I am not sure you can get around the CENOMAR requirement. This question might get better responses in the Philippines forum. To move this, click the flag icon on the upper right of your post to report it, and add a comment that you want the topic moved.

    You cannot apply for a green card for her. You can petition her for an IR5 visa. Does your mother want to permanently move to the US? Or does she want to keep travelling back and forth while still residing in Colombia? If the former, then petition her. If the latter, then aid her in renewing her B2.

    If they are in Ukraine, then depending on his age your father is not allowed to leave. United for Ukraine much, mich faster for getting them to the US. It is difficult to get an expedite for humanitarian reasons for any visa due to that program being in place.

    Only if you stay in the US and take the international courses online.
  21. SteveInBostonI130
    Invalid choices. Comparison should be "slow" and "extremely slow"
  22. SteveInBostonI130
    Nope. DS-160 for K1. Webpage error.
  23. SteveInBostonI130
    Then I would actually focus on the consulate interview and the DS-160. Also, why K1 instead of CR1?

    If the file itself shows as corrupted on upload, then print it as PDF and upload that.

    If they are not ready to immigrate, the cleanest approach is to let the visa expire and not travel to the US until afterwards, as visitors. You then start new petitions for them and get it approved and sent to NVC. Let it stay there - do not complete the AOS and IV steps. About 9 months before the date they are actually ready to move for good, complete the NVC steps and let it progress normally to interview. This will avoid the whole US permanent resident - Canadian resident issues: they will have not US tax liabilities and they can keep their Canadian healthcare.
