  1. Yes, there are H-1B cap excempt employment visas. But it has to be real organization. You cannot set up one to sponsor a relative and workaround immigration rules.
  2. I don't think OP's wife or children know about this other child. OP's current marriage may break as well as he may alienate his other children. I'm not sure this is a reward to be honest.
  3. Well, you probably aged out at the time you filed for adjustment.
  4. You have to read about Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) and how it works. There's calculation which determines whether somebody ages out or preserves their age for I-485 Here's starting point: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa
  5. Essentially you're asking how to petition a son so that your wife doesn't know about it? It's a bad idea in general. You'll be receiving letters from USCIS, you'll have to disclose your income information and taxes as part of your process for son. Agents even may knock on your door to ask few questions (rare, but happens). No wonder lawyers aren't giving you a clear answer, it would be very unethical and unprofessional. And nobody can give you any assurances it wouldn't be known to your wife and kids.
  6. And this is good evidence of bonafide marriage. I'd include it.
  7. Probably receipt notice. But could be biometrics appointment invitation or saying it was reused.
  8. If you don't get any traction, mandamus might be the next step to consider.
  9. Can you send an inquiry? Did you move since filing?
  10. It's unlikely this was the only factor, as some Nigerians do get approved.
  11. She doesn't have to file any other forms. She must never say she's a US citizen or "citizen" - that's a big NO until she naturalizes. You guys should develop marital evidence - add her to lease, bills, bank accounts. File taxes jointly. Save all of these for her removal of conditions and naturalization cases.
  12. Sorry to hear about denial.
  13. Answer is below: There's no way to guarantee somebody gets US visa.
  14. Because they didn't believe she would leave the US. The high refusal rate for Nigerian citizens is due to high level of immigration fraud and high rate of people overstaying visas in the US. This is why denial rate is 50% as @appleblossom said: every second Nigerian applicant gets denied visa.
  15. Yes, LPRs and citizens don't get I-94. She should create a excel sheet to track all of her international trips moving forward: date of departure from US, date of arrival back and countries visited. She'd need to provide this info when she applies for naturalization.
  16. There's no right for visitor's visa. It's a privilege. The friend did not convince consular official she'd be going back to Doha / Nigeria after coming to the US. Denial is pretty common for ladies from Nigeria (higher fraud country) and especially if she's single and of marrying age. Decision is officer's discretion. Things like owning properties, being married back home, high paying job or old parents she needs to take care of can improve chances of approval.
  17. Any platforms that allow you talking to other people are social media websites. Including internet forums, which VJ is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media I agree about work accounts, they're not personal accounts. But any personal accounts, even if you use nicknames instead of real names, should be disclosed, at least with strict interpretation of DOS rules. I'm glad I wasn't subject to these rules. I would have had disclosed many of accounts I have. And the problem is, this can always be used against current filers, if they forget to list one of tens of accounts they may have.
  18. Yep. Officer: I don't have your file today Immigrant: Here's copy of everything I submitted
  19. Hmmm, isn't Visa Journey a social media account?
  20. I cannot edit / delete comments. Good luck!
  21. I checked copy of my Removal of Conditions packet. The lawyer who filed it for me never included G-1145.
  22. This form is optional. It works half of the time. I guess the fact it's not listed for I-751 on USCIS website may explain why. If you send it with I-751 - great. If you don't send it - not a big deal.
