    What is your case Priority Date (PD)?

    Tell your wife to use her endorsed spouse visa for boarding and US entry. There's a good chance she will not be asked about her plastic GC at all, as long as the CBP stamp on the spouse visa has not expired. Just advise your wife not to volunteer the fact that she forgot to bring her plastic GC, unless she is asked directly by CBP. The I-193 fee will likely be waived anyway, if it even comes up.

    No. Get another I-551 stamp. You may now request one to be mailed to you, instead of having to go to a USCIS office you get the stamp in your passport.

    Required vaccinations for adult applicants up to 59 years old -- Td/Tdap, MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis B, Flu (seasonal), COVID. Up-to-date requirements from CDC here -- https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/vaccinations.html#tbl1 If you've had chickenpox before, the clinic may take your word for it and not require Varicella vaccine. Full series of shots for COVID will be required prior to the medical, but boosters not required for immigration purposes.

    Here's another case of foreigners getting their fateful encounters with ICE after being asked for immigration papers at a traffic stop. This one in North Dakota --

    Possibly. Depends on the interviewing officer. But in most cases, the information on the DS-160 form is all they need to make a decision. Anyway, only $160 to find out for sure. I know of a case in the Philippines where a female applicant got a B2 visa after 2 denials, while having a USC bf. On her 3rd attempt, she finally got a CO who agreed to read the letter from her bf, describing his strong ties to the PH. The 1st 2 COs didn't care, but she got lucky (after much begging) with the 3rd CO. Also, her bf was a retiree with permanent residence in the PH. Much stronger ties than you have in China.

    I'm assuming your parents have never worked in the US, hence no social security credits. If so, as the petitioner, you cannot escape from being the primary I-864 sponsor, even if you have a joint sponsor.
  22. Chancy
    In that case, go with @Mike E's suggestion. If you don't mind the filing fees, all 3 of you should file for him. I-485 is not an option for your brother. No need to wait for your parents' US citizenship. They may file I-130 for your brother on the day they enter the US with their IR5 visas. If they later become USCs, their petition for F2B can be converted to F1 with just an email request to NVC, assuming your brother remains unmarried.
  23. Chancy
    He can't. Even if he didn't intend to stay when he first entered, with a USC sibling as his only possible petitioner, he is not eligible to file I-485 without an approved I-130 filed before April 2007. You may understand the AOS process that you went through, but that was AOS for an immediate relative of a US citizen. A sibling is not considered an immediate relative for US immigration, so the rules for your brother are different. It will take 16+ years for him to be eligible for an F4 sibling visa, assuming you file an I-130 petition for him right now. No way he can stay in the US legally for that long while on ESTA.

    How old is your brother?

    You must submit the DS-260 to enable the upload of civil documents. After submitting the DS-260, you may take as long as you need (up to a year) to upload the required documents.
