For your spouse: I-130, I-485 plus I-131 if your spouse would like to be able to leave the united state while the process is ongoing and I-765 if your spouse would like to work while the process is on going. Your stepchild is under 14, so you file I-130 (same regular fee) and the I-485 which due to the mothers application is now 950 instead of the regular fee of 1440. If this is something you're having difficulty with, I recommend studying the guides here on the site or talking to a lawyer who can help you file the correct forms with the corrects fees so you avoid mistakes that can greatly impact your family.

Yes, they do. After filing for the fiancee visa and waiting on average 18 months. The 90 days fiance tv show only shows the part where they come and have to get married, not the part where you have to file the paperwork to go to the US in the first place. Follow the advice on the thread and you have a great shot at DFC or a spousal visa where you will stay together in the UK until it's time to move to the US.

Unless it's a bigger or special date type of ceremony it is also pretty fast and simple, lots of people expect more of a bam! but it just kinda ends if that's any consolation. Throw a party afterwards!

I don't believe a FOIA interacts with the subject, it is the government giving you what they have for a particular A number just like your mother. Since you have that info on your father you could also get his file and use it to help your case.

Yes, just consider that your oath might happen soon after the interview - which then will mean you won't have the green card and will need a us passport to travel.

Expedited and 2 day return mail timeline: Oath 6/14 Applied at USPS 6/15 In process 6/24 Approved & shipped 7/6, expected arrival 7/10 I guess the craziness of long times has passed but still, here another data point.

Where is this information coming from? Who says it's fraud to use Medicaid? There's a lot of fear mongering when it comes to immigrants using public benefits they are completely free to do so

They seem worried about having used Medicaid/public benefits and how this will affect the citizenship case. From healthcare.gov: Medicaid, CHIP, & "public charge" status Applying for or getting Medicaid or CHIP benefits, or getting savings for Marketplace health coverage doesn't make you a "public charge". This means it won’t affect your chances of becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident or U.S. citizen. https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/ Unclear if they were eligible in the first place but since it went through and she got consultations I assume everything is ok? Would like to hear from someone with more experience in this topic. From Medicaid.gov: To be eligible for Medicaid, individuals must also meet certain non-financial eligibility criteria. Medicaid beneficiaries generally must be residents of the state in which they are receiving Medicaid. They must be either citizens of the United States or certain qualified non-citizens, such as lawful permanent residents. In addition, some eligibility groups are limited by age, or by pregnancy or parenting status. https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/index.html

Depends on your state but what are you looking for? 2 weeks notice is the standard for most of the US and companies, being for firing someone or layoff. Look for your state labor rights for more details on unemployment etc. Labor rights are not strong in most places, specially if you compare it to your home country. There's no payout at the end of employment, vacation pay, protections etc. in most cases. Do you have an immigration related question about this? Is your visa tied to employment?

About bank accounts: depends if your local bank employee is familiar with the process of opening a bank account using only a passport as ID. I was lucky and was able to do it on a visa, but it clear to me that other branches had no idea how to deal with it. So you may try but it's not a guarantee.

Yes. In your situation, regardless of what path you decide to take - lawsuit, refile, whatever - no person here would advise you to leave the United States. Jim Hacking says "no, no traveling" on your call.

Better late than never, you're almost there!

That's your I-751 going from one of the processing centers to your local office so it can be reviewed and approved. Nothing to worry about, congrats on almost being done!

There's a when to file a I-290B chart, it says you cannot appeal the decision but you can file a motion to have the matter reopened or reconsidered. The note on no appeal is: Conditional residents placed in removal proceedings when their Form I-751 or Form I-829 is denied may seek to have an immigration judge review the denial. This review would occur during the removal proceedings. https://www.uscis.gov/i-290b/eligibility#Note_5

Strongly agree with CrazyCat, as I also said in my own post. USCIS isn't clear about this things and people here get too comfortable saying "everybody should assume combo and should know to take the spouse" even though it is not written anywhere, USCIS not always send a letter making it clear it will be a combo interview AND also routinely approved ROCs without the spouse present (or even the applicant, considering approvals after the N-400 interview that happens remotely). Rooting for you Renato D, please follow up with updates when you can - whatever route you take you have a good chance to revert this decision or apply again.

I mean at this point no detail will clear this up, the officer clearly just made a decision based on vibes. It wouldn't be the first time an officer did something just to prove they have all the authority. Unfortunate that OP wasn't aware to being the spouse for a possible combo interview (something I did myself) however I will have to point out that people on this forum are more aware and have "ins" in a way that it's not spelled out by USCIS whatsoever. There are many cases reported here that the ROC file wasn't available, the N-400 interview goes on without a hitch and the ROC is adjudicated later. Specially if OP didn't get a combo interview notice/letter, which should be standard for USCIS and it isn't. This is another hurdle we face as immigrants, having to know all the rules plus the invisible ones, to the point of being more knowledgeable than people who work with immigration law. Wait for the denial to come but start calling lawyers, the termination of residency content of your letter made this beyond DIY. Appealing the N-400 is useless, is the ROC that needed fixing, if there is a way to fix it. You're still married to an US citizen so your overstay without status has some protections in case you have to start over, but any encounter with law enforcement could be messy, heads up.

That's incorrect, 120 after interview is definitely past regular processing time. You should contact your representative and state that you have been waiting for over 170 days and they could try to help you move this along before you file a whole process over it. You have a right to have a decision in a reasonable time! Do you have a pending ROC by any chance?

From your timeline you became a green card holder in 2020, is that correct? If so, you will be able to apply for citizenship in early 2025. And yes, it is okay to apply for citizenship with ROC processing however by the time you apply it should probably be done since it will be close to three years.

No, even when this new EO starts being valid the cutoff for marriage is June 17, 2024 plus the other requirements of being here for over 10 years etc.

Leaving the US is fine however your wife will not be boarded into an airplane at the country she will be at before having the extension letter. If the extension letter is lost in the mail from you to her, there's little to do but to file a I-131A which is around 600 dollars and depends on the local embassy for how long it will take to be produce. If you are ok with these risks go forward but if staying an extra week or month outside of the US is difficult I would reconsider this trip.

The FOIA.gov website and the USCIS website have explainers on how this works better: https://www.foia.gov/agency-search.html?id=da7c02bc-3ae8-4a09-ad94-48fdbb2bcc6f&type=component

Ok but what's his plan for your adjustment of status? He had 15 years to figure this out, from your post it seems like you are now aware of the situation and it is pursuing it yourself. If he was to file it he should and could have done it around the time of marriage to your mom. You can try a FOIA request to see if her AOS was ever filed, might be tricky but can't hurt. This absolutely needs a lawyer, sometimes consultations are free but even it it isn't this is your future in the US. It is an unusual situation and it is being filed decades after the fact, this is not diy. I'm sorry the adults around you have failed to do your immigration paperwork.

All done and finished, uscis is no more in my life!

And I take that it is very unlikely they would get a waiver, which would mean 10 year ban outside of the US. This is for people that have been here a while so it is a big deal to be able to parole in place.

Your situation is very alarming. Is your husband withholding all the finances from you, preventing you from eating, using the house as you need? Does he know you don't eat? That's is very strange. Why isn't your husband and his family welcoming you on their house as you are now married and part of the family too? Are you going to have separate fridge and pantry once you are working, so you only eat what you buy? That's very abnormal. This is not a common situation and should be at least be aware of it. People manage their finances best they can when one spouse can't work but I don't think you will find anyone that was being starved because they didn't work. This is weird and dangerous to you.
