Chancy

Depends on when you can schedule your biometrics appointment. Those interviewing at CDJ are required to schedule a separate appointment for biometrics collection prior to the actual visa interview.

Your VJ profile indicates K1. Note that DQ only applies to immigrant visa (IV) cases, not K1. There is no DQ for K1 as there are no documents uploaded to NVC CEAC for K1.

*** Moved from Bringing Family of LPR forum to Bringing Family of USC forum *** Select "Yes" and provide the details about the I-130 petition for your son. Enter "Submitted - In Process" for the Result field. Count your son under item #4 for dependent children. Note that if your mother is not currently in the US, the I-864 should not be submitted with the I-130 petition.

Please clarify -- are you a US citizen?

If so, just print that PDF certificate and make sure your mom brings that print-out to the airport, along with her ticket and passport with US visa. No need to go to CFO office.

If your wife's case has already been documentarily qualified (DQ) by NVC, then that means you already paid the immigrant visa (IV) fee for her case. Can't get NVC review without paying IV fee first. So no need to pay any further fees to NVC. Depending on the consulate and their contracted courier, there could be a courier delivery fee for the passport with visa. After your wife gets her spouse visa, you should pay the $220 immigrant fee (ie, GC production fee) to USCIS, not to NVC. No fee for biometrics. As for your stepchild, you submitted a separate I-130 petition, right? Is the I-130 already approved and the case also DQ-ed at NVC? If so, same as in your wife's case -- no MRV fee, no biometrics fee, just pay GC fee after getting the visa for the child.

In that case, I-864 is not the correct form. Your children will become US citizens as soon as they are admitted into the US with IR2 visas, so you will need to fill out 2 separate I-864W forms for them.

OP is the US citizen petitioner. As mentioned above, updating the USC's passport number is irrelevant after I-130 submission. If the immigration lawyer said the USC must renew their passport before their spouse's visa appointment, I would question the lawyer's competence.

If you entered the US with a K1 visa, you must have one of the following to be able to get SSN -- Unexpired I-94 record (ie, K1 admission class AND "Admit Until Date" not passed), or EAD card, or GC I-485 or I-765 receipt notice would not be acceptable proof of status to apply for SSN in person.
