  1. You've been told wrong. Every immigrant visa has to be STAMPED/ENDORSED before a green card can be issued.
  2. What did she put the first time she applied for tourist visa - length of stay? I can't imagine she put 6 months on DS-160.
  3. If you get started with wife's first, delay final submission until step-daughter's has caught up and you have items for both to complete, then hit submit on both cases.
  4. Definitely dodged a bullet. Count your blessings.
  5. First c-section (unscheduled, after 16 hrs of labor) wasn't too fun - 5 day hospital stay. Second one scheduled (breech baby from 32 weeks that nothing would flip back over and I refused ECV as my husband still wasn't in from out of country) - a breeze. Out in under 48 hrs (in pandemic 2020). Easiest ever - not that I planned on more kids since, I know our limits 😁. Both kids full term - first 40w6d when born and second 40w1d. If this is your first, they do tend to come about a week or so after due date if all is good. Letting them "cook" and fatten in the last few weeks is important no matter how much you as a mom is over being pregnant and want to evict them...
  6. Unrelated to your expedite request - c-section recovery is much faster if you ask for "gentle c-section aka Misgav Ladach type", you have proper sutures (dissolvable) covered with dermabond glue and have a great support person with you in the hospital who knows all your preferences. After c-section they'll give you the belly band to keep everything tight - use it - major difference with it - and faster recovery. Never allow lazy doctor wound closure with staples for c-section wound- those get infected and fall out prematurely aka wound opens up.
  7. I highly recommend your wife petitions you again when you're fully ready to move to the US. in the meantime, help your parent with what they need. Next time perhaps learn all the steps to becoming a legal permanent resident - including activating (aka endorsing) the visa and maybe pre-read the USCIS booklet now that you're a legal permanent resident to know all about your rights and responsibilities in the future. M-618 guide: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/M-618.pdf
  8. Perhaps you don't quite get it - there won't be any green card issued IF YOU HAVEN'T ACTIVATED YOUR IMMIGRANT VISA. Now if that visa has expired without you being processed as an immigrant at POE, there certainly won't be any green card issued as you'd have to get the immigrant visa re-issued (more $$ for visa and another medical exam), and pay again for green card issuance as it's tied to your immigrant visa.
  9. Without really providing pertinent info - paid for green card issuance on x date, entered the US on y date - we can't tell you much...
  10. I think that's been dealt with already as the child has a US passport, right? I think he may be asking for documents for Pakistan or to exit Pakistan?
  11. Well since she's married, she could try for VAWA but you'd need more proof - there's a big thread on VAWA, perhaps ask there? This is why I call K-1 visa visa from hell - she's at the mercy of the petitioner for a lot of things.
  12. You current job should be March 2025-current/present - can't put future date there. Should leave the to part blank. Past jobs would have completed dates - ex. March 2023-March 2024.
  13. Ethiopia also has a different calendar - you're 7 years younger there. But sill very strange not to know your birthday - that should match your passport that you're also supposed to submit as part of application.
