    Some states allow you to pick (any) name you want after marriage. Where are you planning to get married? You can look up the laws for that state. Are you planning to take your spouse's name, or another name entirely? Also, please fill in your profile and timeline.

    Not a problem, as long as the passport is valid for at least six months at the time of the visa issuance.

    Her visa and green card will be in her passport (maiden) name. I was in a similar situation, and simply kept my maiden name. It was SO much easier. All my documents match. No headache, no further action required. Other ways to update her PR card: - file an i-90 to get a replacement in her married name - at removal of conditions - when/if she becomes a US citizen Anything before citizenship is, in my opinion, a useless hassle. Having to travel with a marriage certificate to justify the name discrepancy between documents, blah...

    Did she have your authorization to keep them out of the country? If not, you can read this page: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/International-Parental-Child-Abduction.html Do you know anyone over there who could escort them back to the USA? Could you pay someone to make the trip for you? Ask the embassy how to repatriate abandoned children (since both parents are now in the US); and about the documents needed if you are having someone else escort them back to you. At work, your HR services can tell you which types of leaves might be available. It is hard to communicate tone properly online, so I hope the nonchalance I am perceiving is just me reading you incorrectly.

    I read that you have a job lined up for October, but I suggest you read the i-864/affidavit of support instructions. Just make sure you're ready to submit it if/when they accept your case. If you need another sponsor to help, work on that. Be ready, make sure no delay will come from you. I think I remember citizens also using the school calendar as another argument why they would benefit from moving soon/having their case expedited. Maybe look into your child's future school calendar. Final point, I know nothing about your/your spouse medical conditions, but will you be ok to fly? Again, best of luck.

    Why won't it be easy? Don't you think that going sooner would be better? Why not reach to the diplomatic mission over there and let them know your American kids have been abandoned and you need assistance to get them back and that you'll take the next flight there? (ETA: if the country you listed, Comoros, is accurate, it seems you'll have to reach to the Madagascar embassy https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Comoros.html ) Also, while you've divorced, you might want to get a formal/legal custody agreement in place. Have you consulted with a lawyer?
  29. Lemonslice
    Do you know if your kids are safe? Leaving them "somewhere" doesn't sound reassuring.
  30. Lemonslice
    I understand what you are saying, but they probably have communication from all of your requests over the years, and will wonder "what is urgent now?" Right or wrong, you will have to convince them. Best of luck to you and your family.
  31. Lemonslice
    I think they might be wondering why you did not return to the USA for treatments in the past two years. As much as they can expedite, it is still longer than a flight back home. You might have to pick up and leave before your spouse, if it is a life and death situation.
  32. Lemonslice
    That's also what I'd suggest. However, since most people know very little about immigration, I would also make it clear to her what it might be a now or never situation - even visiting will probably be off the table.

    "Our first concern is that there doesn't seem to be a way for him to get a police certificate from Libya, as from everything I've read he would need to physically present in Libya which he can not do due to his status. Has anyone in a similar situation successfully used to feature on the application to explain why a police certificate can not be obtained?" You can state why it is not available and refer them to the reciprocity schedule for Libya. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

    If I remember correctly, you have to enter the US with, or before, your goods. You have a set period of time to import all of it under the exemption, and the goods have to be "used" (you are supposed to bring what you were using already, not buy brand new furniture to export). You should find all of the rules on the cbp.gov website. This is a good start: https://www.help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-1392?language=en_US ; then, the shipping company will also have their own forms. Just make it clear that it is your personal effects and refer them to the cbp website if needed.

    The documents you will need are listed under each section on this page: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html Then, to find which version of the documents/instructions to order them, you can look up the the reciprocity schedule (for each country): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html
