That is normal, there is usually ONE original, the other will be copies/certified copies/official copies [whatever the issuer calls them]

Did you file for your children CRBAs? Were they denied?

You want to make sure you have the correct version of the document. Refer to the reciprocity schedule for the country where the marriage took place: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

The valid passport number. You will have to check in at the counter at the airport, they will want to verify your visa. Since you seem anxious about it, you can print/save this page from CBP: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions.html If you encounter any problem, ask the airline to reach out to their CBP liaison office (contact details on page 5 of this PDF document) https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

I simply posted what he said. Sad that it came back to him. He might, or might not, have cared when others were shot, but he said multiple times that it was a price HE was ok with.

No. Just that they are legal resident since that date. Entry on a K1, or other means, then adjustment of status, would be residents since they got their green cards. Could a few months after entry, or a couple of years 🤷‍♀️

I'm going to sound ridiculous, but I've been importing my litter. I think it can be found in the US, but with the exchange rate it's cheaper to grab a few bags when I visit family. It lasts forever. It's this one, the blue bag. https://odourlock.com/en/ My cats insist on using the same litter box. One of them has to eat high fiber food, so they both eat that... They 💩 like tigers, despite being 7-pound little cuties. All that to say, that litter CLUMPS, so that I can clean it daily, and then once a week, I clean the box, put back the used litter, and top it up with fresh. Zero smell. Oh, and the cats like it too (one of them is picky about the texture). Picture of the pooping machines: Prior to that discovery, I was using Dr. Elsey's , the red box (again, one cat is picky - easier to get her what she wants than to deal with her trying to go elsewhere).

What is your lawyer suggesting? Long distance custody plans exist. The longer you stay, the longer you might be banned from entry; which would complicate your situation even more. You can also reach the diplomatic mission for your country; they might have a list of lawyers who have handled similar custody cases. Best of luck.

We don't get to see the screen here 🤷‍♀️ We do sign a paper form before reaching the service counter. If the data entry is erroneous later, we'd have no way to know, but the copy of our paper form would show it was their mistake. What a mess.

I guess an immigrant having a RealID could argue that they've presented documents to establish that they were not a US citizen.

Read the last paragraph of your last post. Did you do the therapy part? External eyes might help you see more clearly. Immigration wise, a lot depends on the details of her last entry in the USA. Would be a good idea to discuss with a lawyer/legal aid. https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/legaldirectory/ Some resources to share with her: https://miracoalition.org/news/know-your-rights/

Write it like any formal letter. Use proper English, not the language of casual chat, and do not use acronyms. Think out what you want to say. Keep it short: Be clear, concise and state your point. Include your name and contact information + the beneficiary's name and contact details. Start with a greeting and the reason for your writing the letter. Go on to list the reason(s) why your request should be granted. Conclude respectfully and sign the letter. --- Subject: Letter to request ABCDE for NAME [CASE NUMBER] Dear [CONTACT NAME or TEAM or POSITION], I would like to request [blah blah blah], for the following reason(s): - REASON A - Explanation. List any supporting document you are enclosing to support your request. - REASON B - Explanation. List any supporting document you are enclosing to support your request. - etc. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information. Thank you for your kind consideration. Best regards, YOUR NAME Contact details

Since you had many bad experiences with lawyers, are you certain that is what was said? Please double check with a local immigration advocate: https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/legaldirectory/ ... What did you tell the lawyer exactly? What did they answer? I'm not sure if it's a lack of understanding, a misunderstanding, or selective hearing. From what you wrote here, and what you're saying now, there's a big gap of information missing .... Have you reached out to the Embassy of Kosovo ? Any follow up on that front?

What's preventing you to finding work closer to her so you can live together? You will have to think long and deep about what you guys want... sort your priorities. Don't forget to work on your ex-Yugoslavia/Kosovo papers also. Worse comes to worst, you'd end up in Europe.

Are you a US citizen? Where do you currently reside?

I wonder if they'll return the bonds of all those "changed my mind at the baggage carousel" people...

Did you reach out to the diplomatic mission for your place of birth? You have a passport. Why did you wait decades to fix that? Why decades to adjust status? You'll need to put much more efforts in finding solutions if you want results. Best of luck to you.

No, you will reach to the Visa Unit after the CRBA for your children is denied. Then they would be eligible to get a visa. If the CRBAs are approved, then you would get them US passports, so no need for visa.

See similar situations, it happens regularly for different reasons:

Then you will have to demonstrate it at the CRBA interview. Once the CRBA is denied, your children will be eligible for the visa.

It is unfortunate that your lawyer(s?) were not honest, but the responsibility was yours to finish the process/adjust status in a timely manner. 1988 to 2010 is 22 years, and now 15 years since 2010 - that is a lot of time. You are most probably not stateless, being lost in administrative mess is not it. Do you have access to your birth certificate? Reach out to the diplomatic mission that now represent your place of birth/hometown. They will be able to assist you.
