Agreed. The current court order does not include any $$amount …and some considerable time will pass before a new order is granted. It’s important to fight and see through any new filings by father as they could potentially limit / change other custody issues. Personally , I think it’s worth filing N-400 with a copy of current order and proof of money sent or date. Doubt there will be a new order before Natz complete. All you can lose for trying is the filing fee The informal agreement ( like court orders was based on income , although in this case anticipated income: but just like one can go back ad seek to modify $$ via OSC for lack of income…OP informally requested the amount be lowered for such..) …so definitely in OP s favor to get in front of the issue in family court NOW..would have been a good idea as soon as ex “refused “ payments. “ That’s a power play move …but a poor decision not in the kids best interest

“ As of the date of this filing , there are no known judicial proceedings as a result of the denial”

Go to town! It is relevant and you are getting the hang of this!

As long as I-130 receipt has a filing date BEFORE son turned 21, then he should complete adjustment packet now and just include copy of I-130 approval ( even receipt notice NOA 1 sufficient ). Filing fee $1,225 only Forms I-485, I-765, I-131 , I-864 and sealed medical.

Excellent news. Ultimately your expedite was granted. Recent experience of a friend , w expedite request made to USCIS on I-130, denial email received same day…BUT 10 days later notice received by post that expedite approved and NVC case creation email…only drawback is that they switched consular post from Ankara to Abu Dhabi…but worth it. Your case was sent to embassy so presumably they will schedule the earliest available interview.Congrats

I- 290 B allows a filling for both and gives an opportunity ro get in front of AAO on both with one filing fee. USCIS could/ should have RFE’d the deficient I-693 for incomplete / missing items and AAO has been inclined to remand for such ( source AAO non precedent decisions). —- OP’s claim that she was not given a copy of the medical by either the panel physician or civil surgeon supports the claim she had nor opportunity to review /correct submission and has become a prevalent problem with the contracted doctors post pandemic. My little remaining eyesight hinders my ability to source/ref my position …but I do believe the medical validity period was extended beyond the 12 month and stand behind simplifying argument to errors omissions by designated contractors ..most likely to be acted / approved on by Field Office

Don’t get stuck on formatting a brief .,,you can even state the facts of your case on the last page of the form , list the evidence enclosed and bypass the formality. You can tile Motion to Re-Open and Motion to Reconsider Name / A#! I-485 case no On xyz , Service issued a denial of I-485 citing “ copy reason from denial” .I seek relief and review as I complied with all requirements and any deficiency /errors and or omissions on the I-693 were beyond my control . Kindly note I underwent a medical exam via panel physician in xy prior to my K-1 via approval and was not provided o copy of the DS-xyz ..and relied on the approval and subsequent admission as indication I was cleared. On xyz, Service issued an RFE ( include copy) and I provided a new sealed I-693 Once again I was not given a copy by the civil surgeon . The civil surgeon failed to properly complete rhe form , omitting items z,y . Enclosed please find an amended sealed I-693 along with statement acknowledging error by Dr. Evil .

If you are not worried about being financially responsible for them, then why the reluctance to help your wife sponsor them?

Do not wait. There are changes to I-485 coming on Dec 23 .,making things a bit more challenging. Just re do the forms now and mail it ASAP with a copy of the I-130 receipt. Good call on filing rhe I-130.

Considering you already made the decision to accept it, no use in self torment, doubt. It should work, but as I stated earlier both the filing fees ( this I-290 B and future new I-485 if needed) should be covered by the doctor …willingly now or via small claims court later.

I think her chances of getting the visa will improve greatly if you do a good deal of Qand A role play with her. If she can manage NOT to let herself get intimidated AND tell her story similar to how you stated your post,..she will do fine. Your formal withdrawal of the K-1 and change of plans to Canada is a positive So be a Great Teacher and Let your lovely wife practice a few mock interviews….
