    Exactly what stage of the application are you at? What letter did you receive and what’s the Priority Date?

    You'll be a dual citizen. Sounds like your kids already are - unless you're British by descent, then your children were also British at birth. If they want to visit the UK, they need to enter on a UK passport so definitely worth getting theirs. Here's the official question list - https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/questions-and-answers/2025-Civics-Test-128-Questions-and-Answers.pdf Good luck.

    It doesn't say that though. It says if you leave before biometrics your application can be refused - not worth risking IMO. Is there a specific reason you don't want to get citizenship if you've been a GC holder for over a decade? As a GC holder you're subject to all of the same downsides as citizens anyway (i.e. exit tax, tax on worldwide income etc). So unless there's a very specific reason such as your home country not allowing dual citizenship (I'm guessing that's not the case as you're from the EU), then it would be the obvious solution really.

    I wouldn't leave, it can be refused if you do that as it says in the file above ('If you leave the United States before you provide your biometrics, USCIS may deny your application.'). Biometrics can also be super short notice, I think you'll have to plan to stay until you have them. I know you said you didn't want to pursue citizenship at this time, but it would give you the ability to come and go as freely as you wish - maybe something to look at again?

    I'd say unlikely in your case, as any biometrics you did for your GC application will be quite old now. It's sometime waived if they can be reused from another application, but that's generally only if the other application was recent with modern biometrics. You have to do biometrics before you leave the US, see the attached doc. B5en.pdf

    Yep, you just need to apply as a non resident alien. https://www.irs.gov/tin/itin/individual-taxpayer-identification-number-itin
  26. appleblossom
    The problem is you're not a resident, you're a visitor, so your options are very limited. You can get an ITIN though.

    In thread I linked to above (about the same message) your response was "You received a stock message that is always sent when the latest federal tax return does not show enough on the "total income" line. If your current income is clearly sufficient, just ignore the message".

    F2A is spouses of LPR's, and children of LPR's that are under 21.

    You might have been looking at the I-130 processing time, but that's only the first step of the process. Once the I-130 is approved then your daughter will apply for the visa, but that won't be available to her until her Priority Date is current on the Visa Bulletin and that's the bit that takes the time.
  32. appleblossom
    It's not, it's currently a month quicker for adult children of USC's versus adult children of LPR's (November 2016 for F1's, versus December 2016 for F2B's).
  33. appleblossom
    You definitely want her I-130 to take as long as possible then, so she doesn't age out in to F2B.

    Once he's a citizen he'll inform USCIS/NVC of that, and it'll be upgraded to an immediate relative petition. Are you her step mother? If so, were you not able to petition her? You married after her 18th birthday? You're aware that Colombia is currently on the ban list? Her PD isn't current so she can't get a visa anyway, but just wanted to flag that in case you weren't aware.
  35. appleblossom
    I wouldn't have thought so. I'd just wait for them to respond to your enquiry, it sounds as though you've submitted everything correctly so hopefully you'll be DQ'ed very soon. Best of luck.
