    Adjusting through you is not an option due to current Visa Bulletin

    Here's interesting talk with new USCIS director Subjects touched: - DV lottery (wants to be eliminated) - Fraud scrutiny to be increased - Citizenship test (wishes to make more difficult) - Wants to see more merit based immigration - Wants to tighten family based category (didn't say directly eliminating siblings, but mentioned it indirectly) - DACA - no concrete plans - TPS (wants to revisit who got it) - Work permits and SSNs (acknowledged they disabled auto issuance of SSN cards in some scenarios, frustrated by number of SSN types) Recommend watching to understand where we're heading with immigration.

    Anything under 12 months is fast in USCIS world. It's only been 5 months since you filed. Maybe you have somewhat elevated expectations?
  4. OldUser
    Congrats!
  5. OldUser
    Have you read form instructions?

    Pretty expected outcome but kudos for trying and updating us! What's next? You can live life as you were never LPR. And you can get to the US through employment or study (non-immigrant status) or marrying American (immigrant status)
  7. OldUser
    I'll leave this to lawyers to clarify, but essentially they're LPRs as they enter the US and instantly are US citizens if they're LPRs residing with US citizen parent. If they didn't enter the US as LPRs, they wouldn't be citizens.

    Recommending passport first, then N-600. N-600 takes much longer!

    USCIS has 120 days, not 90 days to decide on your case after interview. After this, you can sue (file Mandamus). That is the only reliable option. Your other efforts may or may not work (depends on luck)
  10. OldUser
    It won't

    I assume your aunt is a US citizen. Citizens typically don't think too much about consequences for immigration status caused by various activities in the US. This sounds more like unpaid internship. You're volunteering in the field of your study. I wouldn't do it to keep visitor's visa intact
  12. OldUser
    Yes

    Give a day or two for notice to show online. Give 1-4 weeks for physical letter to arrive.

    I didn't update expiration date on GE portal because I wasn't sure I was allowed to do it without new GC. But people on VJ did it just fine. I tried enrollment center twice on different days at the airport, and they were denying updating their system with extension letter (laziness or lack of knowlwdge).
  15. OldUser
    Sure. I flew a lot with GE while I-751 was pending
  16. OldUser
    Organize the documents to improve search.
  17. OldUser
    Yes, they were LPRs. I-551 stamp is the same as green card, which is formally known as form I-551.

    There have to be separate N-400 for each person. They can be filed at the same time, but not together. And they will be adjudicated independently from each other. E.g. some can be faster or slower than the other.

    She can dream... no court I know of can order somebody to sponsor somebody for immigration benefit...
  20. OldUser
    All the ideas she has are delusional...
  21. OldUser
    Oh man, good point about marital status. Somehow I assumed they were married...
  22. OldUser
    Irrelevant detail. Good luck, nobody can prevent her from dreaming. Yes, more than just bio page is needed for CRBA. What does father of the child want? Does he want the child to be registered as US citizen? Even if he does all this and registers the child as US citizen, child's mother can pound sand. She cannot come to the US just because her child is a US citizen. Either husband will have to file I-130 for her or the US citizen child can sponsor her after reaching 21 years. Nothing happens without husband or adult child sponsoring her. It may take many years until her dream of coming to the states to collect $5000 (how, I want to know too?) materializes

    Verbal promises mean nothing, sadly... Hope you hear the news soon!
  24. OldUser
    Are you applying under 3 year rule? If yes, the spouse should accompany you. If not, spouse may not be allowed in the building.
  25. OldUser
    Yes, there is wording saying you should not travel. There are examples on VJ of people successfully travelling in the past. But you never know...
