If you look at my Timeline comments you will see i tthink from 11/18 to 12/7 If you look at my Timeline comments you will see i tthink from 11/18 to 12/7 Comments : Ceac status Ready 10/26 Admin processing 11/16 Application received 11/18 Admin processing (again) 12/7 Issued 12/9 Visa in Hand 12/13

you can check my timeline to have a general idea about how long it took for k1 admin processing. But everyone is different keep that in mind.

If your friend disclosed to the immigration officer during their visa interview that they plan to give birth in the U.S., and their visa was granted, that is perfectly fine. Likewise, if they inform CBP upon arrival and are still allowed entry, there is no issue. However, I doubt your friend has done either of these. While it is not illegal to give birth in the U.S., and current law grants the child U.S. citizenship, your friend should not assume this will provide any immigration benefits for the parents. According to a Georgetown study in 2013, over 153,000 children have had at least one parent deported. (I am sure the numbers are much higher now) Having a U.S. citizen child does not automatically grant legal status to the parents. Additionally, the cost of childbirth in the U.S. can be extremely high, and your friend is taking a significant financial and legal risk. Lying to immigration officers—whether during the visa interview or at the CBP checkpoint can lead to denial of entry, visa revocation, and even future bans from the U.S. Lastly, there is ongoing political debate about ending birthright citizenship. While it is unclear how such a policy change would be implemented, it is a possibility under this administration. Your friend should carefully consider all these factors before proceeding. Also, myself being an immigrant from Pakistan and knowing the Pakistani community here always run in these scenarios and I can assure you none of the people who did this will have anything positive to say about it (because most of them chose to become illegal themselves after the child birth).

tell them exactly what happened

I filed my wife's AOS in Jan 2022, i just selected More than one trip and did nothing else, no documents or anything. even on my form I left city town country empty because it asked if you want to rcv it in some other country. You can look up at my timelines to get sense of it and also if you can kindly update your own time line as it is very beneficial for people here.

It is unfortunate but no it will be impossible, (C) Controlled substance traffickers Any alien who the consular officer or the Attorney General knows or has reason to believe- (i) is or has been an illicit trafficker in any controlled substance or in any listed chemical (as defined in section 802 of title 21), or is or has been a knowing aider, abettor, assister, conspirator, or colluder with others in the illicit trafficking in any such controlled or listed substance or chemical, or endeavored to do so; or (ii) is the spouse, son, or daughter of an alien inadmissible under clause (i), has, within the previous 5 years, obtained any financial or other benefit from the illicit activity of that alien, and knew or reasonably should have known that the financial or other benefit was the product of such illicit activity, is inadmissible. https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM030204.html?utm_source https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title8-section1182&num=0&edition=prelim

Should be 37000 But you can go to your local post office or call them for your area. That should suffice If the postal code is not being accepted by us travel docs website than is there a local option for pick up that you can utilize?

Hopefully, you’ll receive your notice soon. Once you do, you can create an online account to track your progress on USCIS. Unless your case is particularly complex, most USCIS forms are straightforward, and there are plenty of resources to guide you through the process. Wishing you the best.

If I may ask 1) Can you kindly update your timeline here (trust me it helps a lot) 2) What does it show on the USCIS website? Does it show the application received and that's all?

are they saying that they do not have your I-129F? 🤔

We filed my wife's I-751 petition last month, and thanks to this forum, we started collecting documentation from the moment she arrived in the U.S., knowing these documents would be needed at some point. For our submission, we included front and back copies of her Green Card, driver’s licenses showing the same address, and quarterly joint bank account statements. Since I couldn't add her to the mortgage, I immediately added her name to the utility bills upon her arrival. We also submitted credit card statements and a car insurance policy listing both of us (If you have it add this as well). Additionally, we included eight photos (four per page) documenting our travels together. Plus other proofs. One thing to keep in mind: don’t overthink or overcomplicate the process—you can only submit what you genuinely have. USCIS simply seeks sufficient evidence to confirm your marriage is bona fide. Focus on providing the strongest documentation available, and remember that quality matters more than quantity. Wishing you the best of luck with your petition!

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-e-chapter-9 In cases involving foreign degrees, officers may favorably consider a credentials evaluation performed by an independent credentials evaluator who has provided a credible, logical, and well-documented case for such an equivalency determination that is based solely on the noncitizen’s foreign degree(s).[1] In addition, officers may accept a comparable evaluation performed by a school official who has the authority to make such determinations and is acting in his or her official capacity with the educational institution.[2] Officers should consider the opinions rendered by an education credential evaluator in conjunction with a review of the beneficiary’s relevant education credentials and other available credible resource material regarding the equivalency of the education credentials to college degrees obtained in the United States. Opinions rendered that are merely conclusory and do not provide a credible roadmap that clearly lays out the basis for the opinions are not persuasive. Any educational equivalency evaluation performed by a credentials evaluator or school official is solely advisory in nature; the final determination continues to rest with the officer.[3] https://www.state.gov/global-community-liaison-office/family-member-employment/family-member-employment-in-the-d-c-area/evaluation-of-foreign-degrees/?utm_source=chatgpt.com For federal employment, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the U.S. Department of Education provide guidelines on evaluating foreign education. They recommend that applicants submit their foreign credentials to private U.S. organizations for assessment, commonly known as credential evaluation services. These evaluations help determine if the foreign education is comparable to that received in accredited U.S. institutions. In short, they might accept your professor from NJ or maybe it does not hurt to get the equivalency done from one of the evaluation companies mentioned above by one of the poster. Good luck.

I was able to find a thread for you

Of course, Grandparent can adopt a child, that is not a bar but a very exhaustive process. I-600 is one way. I was trying to stress the fact that the pathways are there but they are very complicated, especially in OPs case. It would be best to consult with an experienced Immigration Attorney and maybe we all will be able to learn something. I also think we are deviating from the OP original question a little.

What postal code are you using? which city?
