All of Canada is Montreal for K1 or CR1, regardless of province or city. All of US is a variety of several Service Centers, regardless of state or city. USCIS sends the I-130 to whichever service center is designated for that day/week/month.

The SS benefit is for your daughter, not for you. She is the beneficiary and she is the one who would declare that income on her 1040.

Not without advanced parole. The "work with lawyers" part is for other legal paths to immigration or authorized stay, such as asylum and family or employment based immigration. The HP program is to help temporarily. It is not a path to immigration by itself. If they have a valid case, then contact an immigration lawyer.

If the program allows renewals, then renew. Or try TPS if they qualify toward the end of their HP program. If the family are parents, then he can petition their IR5 visa when he becomes a citizen. If they are his sister/brother, he can submit for F4 visa after he becomes a citizen, but the wait for F4 is about 20 years, and they cannot stay in the US to wait for the visa number just on the basis of the I-130 F4 petition. If the family are uncles/aunts, nephews/nieces, cousins, etc., then there is no path to immigration through your husband. EDIT: Priority would be to get them situated in the US at this time: housing, employment, healthcare, schooling, etc. The humanitarian parole program should provide guidance on how to submit the various applications.

This is not really an immigration related question and is more of a general tax question or military question. I believe the tax liability is dependent on the state of residence. For example, California only taxes if the active duty station is in California, Colorado taxes if overseas assignment is less than 305 days, etc. The main question is how to determine state residency. Typically it depends on the main address, driver's license, voter registration, etc. And I believe spouses can claim the same state for residence that the military member claims.

The "each applicant" is for immediate relatives: unmarried children under 21, parents, spouse. For family preference - married children, children over 21, sister/brother - there is only 1 application for the relative, and the relative's family are derivatives. Your sister will be in the F4 category, and that is about a 20 year wait for a visa number. And, unlike for immediate relatives, family preference does not forgive overstays and illegal work. The humanitarian parole program should allow your sister and brother-in-law to apply for employment authorization, by which they will also get their social security cards. If they loose their authorized stay status, by expiry of the HP program or denial of asylum, they will need to return to Haiti. Technically, they just need to leave the US.

You can't go through the flight crew/diplomats line, and you can't go through global entry line unless you have global entry.

No and no. You will specifically need to search for companies that are posting positions that includes immigration sponsorship. You cannot search for any job. Companies are limited on type of positions that can be for new immigrants, including showing evidence that they cannot fill the position from existing residents and citizens. Also, there are numerical limits and the company will need to have or hire an immigration attorney.

You cannot work with B2 visa, full stop. You can attend a seminar or convention on a B1 visa if you are already employed and your employer has one scheduled in the US. You cannot perform regular work on a B1. Best option for work related immigration is to be a high skilled/educated person in a STEM related field. But this would take many years to gain the knowledge/experience and then some more seeking a company willing to sponsor you. You can start searching and preparing this year, but you will not be able to immigrate in 2024.

1. None. 2. USCIS is not involved at all.

Niece will need a student visa. The "walkabout visa" might be something from the Crocodile Dundee movies.

What is their status? We cannot help if you don't provide any information. At this point, all we can suggest if for them to consult an immigration attorney.

If you have not submitted your DS-260, how did you get an interview scheduled?

For those who think they need mountains of evidence for the I-129F, here are the actual requirements: 1. Be alive and breathing. 1.a. Petitioner is a live and breathing USC. Provide proof of USC. 1.b. Beneficiary is a live and breathing non-USC/LPR. 2. Both are free to marry. 2.a. If previously married, provide divorce certificate(s). 3. Both intend to marry each other within 90 day of beneficiary arriving with the K1 visa. Provide a signed letter regarding this. 4. Both have met physically within the last 2 years. Provide proof of this. 5. Petitioner needs to provide criminal history, even if records are "sealed". EDIt: The above is to get the I-129F approved. Some "front load" evidence into the I-129F to help get the K1 visa approved. This would be evidence of time spent together - photos, boarding passes, hotel stays, etc.

I am curious: I would like to see where or how you believe you can control which service center handles the ROC.

Show that you became an LPR at age 30.

Why do you want to transfer it now, before marriage? Why not wait and have your name added to the account?

You first attempted DCS when there was no urgent need. DCS is granted to those in exceptional circumstances, and that wasn't your situation. Now 6 months later, why do you "need" to start an internship in the US? Can you not start one in Peru? That is the hurdle you will need to overcome with the embassy.

You both signed a letter to USCIS stating that you will marry within 90 days of entering the US. You both signed a second letter stating the same to DOS. The letters are non-binding, but reneging those statements may influence any future decisions. There will be greater scrutiny if either of you apply for a K1 in the future. CR1 may or may not be impacted. ESTA and B1/B2 may also be impacted because you have shown immigrant intent.

Where are your parents now?

His CSPA age 21 will be March 2026. I do not see VB moving from Feb 2019 to Aug 2023 (4 yr, 6 mo) in 2 years 3 months. He will be F2B, which is a longer wait (8+ years). Only hope to be processed by March 2026 is if his parent becomes a USC by then and he becomes IR2.

Aug 2023 or Aug 2022? If PD was Aug 8 2023, was approved Dec 8, 2023, and he turned 19 on Sept 1, 2023 (for example), then his CSPA age will be 21 in Jan 1, 2026. If PD was Aug 8, 2022, was approved Dec 8, 2023, and he turned 19 on July 1, 2023 (for 2nd example), then his CSPA age 21 will be Nov 1, 2026. Basically, his age minus the time it took to approve the I-130. USCIS did him no favors by approving the I-130 quickly. Currently F2A final action date is Feb 2019. If the PD is Aug 2022, there is a small chance it will be current by Nov 2026 in the 2nd example above. If the PD is Aug 2023, he will age out.

Good, sort of. The VB posted by @Chancy shows Jan 2015 as being current. Unfortunately, the VB table is not 1:1 to real time. The VB can progress month to month per calendar time, or each 3 or more months of real time progresses the VB by 1 month. The shortest wait for you will be 2 years, but it could take longer. I predict 3-4 years. By the way, there is only 1 PD date - yours. Your son is a derivative and falls under your converted I-130 petition. As long as you submitted all documents, including your son's DS-260, it is just a waiting game.

What country?

OP is asking about the petitioner's documents: For IR5, petitioner's marriage or divorce documents are not needed.
