  1. Yes you can. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-family-preference-immigrants
  2. She can file for both her husband and son separately and she should. This way, when she naturalizes, both petitions are in place.
  3. I would do a direct consular filing with the U.S. consulate. 1) get married 2) get a U.S. job offer. 3) file i1130 with the U.S. consulate there
  4. Should not. Because it’s such a long shot. How can you have immigrant intent when it’s 10 years away. Definitely go for STEM opt, H1B lotteries. Work for a multinational so he can get transferred abroad, etc. How did you get your GC?
  5. Bad idea! Entering with the intent to adjust is fraud. They stay in Portugal and go through consulate process. This is what they should do: 1) your wife becomes USC in 4 years. 2) Sponsors both parents and brother. The minute the parents land, they can file for son (14). Each should file. 3) parents take turns going back and staying with him. They can also file F1 visa (low chance of approval) for him. 4) ONE parent stays for the requisite time to file for naturalization. Brother should still be under 21.
  6. I reached out to him on Reddit. No answer. Worrisome.
  7. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/optional-practical-training-extension-for-stem-students-stem-opt He should also enter green card lottery every year if his birthplace is Nepal. https://dvprogram.state.gov
  8. You have received good answers on this thread. The most realistic way is for him to find a U.S.C. spouse. Failing that, STEM major to get a 3 year OPT and do well enough to get GC sponsorship as well as trying the H1B lottery. What is his major? More like 10 years at this point and growing.
  9. Did not say why, just says he left. Hope he chimes in.
  10. Not for citizens of first world countries or E or SE Asians, maybe Kenyans.
  11. Found it. @Shae B, your friend got scammed. Demand proof of the paper that they “received” at LAX and boarding pass to seoul.
  12. So, Manila takes (anecdotally) almost 2 years even with NO quota and NO priority dates. If you, @maynoc file for your stepson now, it is possible that you will be granted an interview before his petition through your wife. It could take over a year, maybe even 2 years for his date to be current and then even longer to be scheduled.
  13. If you can afford the fees, file a petition for him. It will be faster even if you file now.
  14. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-naturalization-affects-your-child-s-application-for-a-u-s-green-card.html#:~:text=Naturalizing If the Child Was Under 21 When I-130,automatically converts to category F1. probably should merge threads. @ahad2000, you need a lawyer.
  15. Ok. This is where your father messed you up by naturalizing. https://www.cliniclegal.org/resources/family-based-immigration-law/beware-dangers-naturalization-child-beneficiaries Last page. You may not be able to stay in F2A because you were over 21 when dad naturalized.
  16. 1) Were you over 21 July 1, 2019? 2) if over 21, when was petition approved? 3) when did you pay DS260 fee?
  17. Is he now a US citizen? 1) how old were you when PD became current? 2) when was i130 approved?
  18. Yes, but you cannot continue when you have clearly gone down the wrong path.
  19. Hit the back button until she gets to the first page.
