  3. *** Moved from General Immigration-Related Discussion to Moving to the US forum -- topic is about POE procedures ***
  4. Yes, it's possible for your son to file I-130 petitions for his parents and siblings at the same time. But his siblings will likely get their visas maybe 15 to 20 years after his parents do. As mentioned above, it would be faster for one of his parents to petition for his siblings after the parent enters the US with IR5 visa.
  5. Likely 12 years more or so. Only F4 cases with I-130 petitions filed on or before March 22, 2007 are getting visa interviews now. Even older for cases from India, Mexico, and the Philippines. Check the visa bulletin here -- https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin.html
  6. What is the case status on CEAC? If your case is expedited, the US embassy in Manila typically expects you to book the interview schedule yourself via the USTravelDocs portal once your CEAC status turns "Ready".

  12. Even N600K will be a no-go if USCIS thinks the adoption is for immigration purposes of a child not otherwise eligible. Um, the above comment, plus you leaving out critical information about the child being your relative, with biological mother still alive and not mentally incapacitated, makes me think you really need a lawyer.
  13. *** Moved from US Citizenship General Discussion to Progress Reports ***
  14. What does you case number start with? Is it MEX or CDJ?
  15. Once you get DQ, you are done with NVC review. Congratulations! The rest depends on the consulate, just like the FE note says.
  16. Your fiancee will not get a CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage) because she was already married once in the Philippines. She will get a CEMAR because PSA will always have the record of her previous marriage. The difference between getting the CEMAR now or after the hearing is that after the completion of the foreign divorce recognition process, PSA will annotate the CEMAR with the divorce info. Again, the US embassy in Manila will not care. CEMAR (annotated or not) + final divorce decree will be fine for USEM. To avoid getting a 221g letter, tell your fiancee to also bring her PSA marriage certificate from her previous marriage.
  17. Yes, the child needs a B2 visa to be able to enter the US for the N600K interview. With 2 USC parents, one already with a US job, it's going to be tough to convince the consulate that your family has no plans to move to the US. As others mentioned, your child's case seems to be textbook IR2 for adopted child, so just go through the I-130/IR2 process. After your child enters the US with IR2, apply for her US passport and N600. No need for N600K. Plus, with IR2, you have a chance at an expedited process via DCF. Not so with B2 and N600K, which is not treated as urgent unless the child is close to aging out at 18 years old.
  18. *** Moved from K1 Process & Procedures to K1 Progress Reports -- topic is about timeframe estimates ***
  19. What visa class? What is the case status on CEAC? If your case is expedited, the US embassy in Manila typically expects you to book the interview schedule yourself via the USTravelDocs portal once your CEAC status turns "Ready".
  20. OP is probably referring to H1B transfer, when a worker who has or recently had H1B status, gets hired by another US company that is eligible to sponsor. But OP is working for an Indian company, so yes, no such thing as H1B transfer in that situation.
  21. For CR1/IR1 and other Immediate Relative cases, it typically takes only around 1 week to get the NVC welcome letter after I-130 approval. That published timeframe covers other visa categories as well, and they do take 3 months or so, based on reports here on VJ.
  22. The civil surgeon will probably take your word for it about getting chickenpox before, and not require Varicella vaccine.
  23. Note that physical custody evidence documents in Mexico only count for getting the IR2 visa. For citizenship, the physical custody evidence must show same address for parent and child in the US. Here's evidence that's easy to get. After your child enters the US with IR2 visa, set up medical care at your local pediatrician. Then request a print-out of the new medical record, showing your child's address same as the address on your DL.
  24. No AoS fee for K1. Only MRV fee, which should be paid according to the specific consulate's instructions, not at NVC.
