some schengen countries are more easier to apply than the others. the netherlands is the one that is "easier" in my opinion. i applied once through the netherlands. i heard germany is "harder" so i dont really want to try. also the scandinavian countries famously "harder". i think you should look on travel forum as well, many of them knows in ins and out. and most embassy/consulat didnt even process directly for visa application. i know for example the netherlands its through VFS. one thing for sure, no matter what she need to get her biometric taken in person visa application is usually time consuming and very expensive even when you have a GC. unless u wanna go to canada/mexico. you dont need to apply visa for that countries because you have GC.

did u file tax for 2020 and 2021 ? what's ur adjustment gross income on 2022 tax transcript? can you explain more about "redact"? in my understanding, ur AGI for 3 years need to be over 125% of poverty guideline ur current income its not the issue here, might need joint sponsor do you have the copy of ur i-864? only you can check and see whats the problem. cant say much without looking at it IMO their RFE is always generic like that and not specific. dont make a cover letter unless you are 100% sure that u qualify WITHOUT joint sponsor. u only get 1 shot, better make sure you know whats the real issue.

Location : I will put wherever field office / embassy that’s local to where they live result : pending case

yes, i / we also submitted : 1. the kids BC and copy of GC ( its mandatory LOL) 2. marriage certificate of the applicant and husband, married last year in home country) 3. divorce certificate for both applicant and husband with former spouse 4. tax transcript ( 2021-2022). applicant didnt file tax for 2019-2020 because made zero income and not working the applicant/parent( my friend) is the parent of USC.

its normal. refused is not equal to denied

helped filing for a friend under 5 years rule. 2.5 months early filing parents of USC and came to the US as GC holder ( consular processing) filing date (online) : 12/22/24 most likely will get biometric appointment since she never done it in the US at all evidence to submit : tax transcripts field office : Los Angeles

someone (USC) who didnt file tax for the past 2 years (2021-2022) got RFE for i-864 when he filed for his mother 2 months ago. situation : 1. he didnt make enough for the past 2 years 2. he need joint sponsor ( that he never submit in the initial submission) 3. this person said " i had a business and i lost / didnt make money. therefore i didnt file tax" i told him to go to CPA to file that tax 2021-2022. and suddenly voila, he can produce tax return report that he got from CPA. he cant produce tax transcript, something about website is closed for the moment to file tax ? ( not clear), but AFAIK, even when u lost for ur business, u still need to file tax no matter what, even when he finally got joint sponsor who made more than enough.

In my understanding : city / town = local FO where your mother reside

Most of undocumented immigrants ( eg : didn’t come on inspection) don’t have anything to lose. They usually came because they want to make a better life for them, most of them are poor therefore lack of education and didn’t think much about the consequences. If something happened what worst can it be for them ? Deportation. ( they are okay with that ) now the issue is when they met someone that’s USC and get married. Now that’s when they realized it’s not easy to change status just because they married to USC, applied for asylum and the list continue. Unfortunately that’s the problem lack of information and education. I guess now thanks to the internet/forum etc, more and more people know a little bit more about immigration than let say 30 years ago. So hopefully more people have more knowledge ?

Depend. U can’t just apply for asylum just because u have no other option “beside asylum”. Asylum is not a rope / thread to keep u stay floated (even though people think like that) most asylum case is not approved anyway and once you are in removal proceeding it will take long time to get out of the court (if there’s a path to adjudicate through something else ) people are so easy to apply for asylum but didn’t think about the consequences (eg removal proceeding / deportation )

I only have one signature all my life. for some reason I think its a best idea when I was 10 years old lol anyway, my signature is not spelling out my first/last name. it just a scribble that noon knows the meaning except me ( it actually combination of my baptist name that's not even on legal document) and I never have issue. don't know if my answer actually help u, but what I'm trying to say is, u don't need to sign it with ur old name, last name, first name, new name whatever it is as long its YOU who sign it. what they gonna do? reject u to become USC just because ur signature doesn't match ? if they complained u can explain to them WHY. just to my 0.02.

undocumented = came to the US without inspection ( eg. crossed the border without inspection from CBP). overstayed = came to the US with passport and inspected with CBP ( eg. arrived in the airport ) but then didn't leave the US when the time's up ( overstayed). which one in this case? big difference of those two asylum = real or fake reason? even real reason is hard to win let alone for fake reason. and also if the person applied a year after they entered USA, not gonna win even if its real reason. asylum is not a status
