I am a US Citizen by birth. My wife and daughter came to the US on a Green Card almost 3 years ago. A year after they came to the US I adopted my stepdaughter and she now has a UT Birth Certificate. I filed an N600 on her over 18months ago, she did have her fingerprints and picture taken about 4 months ago. We applied for her US passport about 3 weeks ago. I just got a letter requesting Proof of Citizenship and a DS-5507 Affidavit of Physical Presence or Residence, Parentage and Support. My question is do I put myself as the 1st biological parent in section 1 or as the other biological parent. I realize I am neither but I am her adoptive father and therefore she as a minor (14) would receive citizenship from me. I can't get an appointment with a lawyer for 3 weeks and I need to get this sent in to get her passport back in time for our trip to Thailand.

Thanks for your help,

Dave

Hello everyone,

I couldn't find a topic for Feb 2024 I130 filers for parents so I started this one where Feb 2024 filers can share our timeline/experience. Below is my timeline:

Feb 10, 2024: Filed Online for my Mother (IOE processing center)

Feb 12, 2024: Case status changed to "Case is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS", the estimated time was 8 weeks.

Apr 09, 2024: myProgress tab changed "Case Taking longer to process ..."

May 02, 2024: myProgress tab changed to "Estimated Time Until Decision: 4 Weeks"

...

Thanks,

I have filled for my father in February of 2023 and now I m filling forms for my mother

I was comparing the i864 A form and I think I made a mistake I m using a household member (my husband)

on part 5 where it says

I, the sponsor, I wrote my husband s name and I think I should have wrote my own name

and in part 6 where it says

I, The household member . I wrote my husbands name which is I think right

help me what should I do did I messed it up?

I have received a letter from US state department saying that my petition for I-129F has been approved and I was provided with Montreal Case number.

I'm having a hard time understanding if NOW I need to do something (schedule interview, medical etc) or I need to wait to be contacted by the Montreal consulate in regards the next steps, and whether or now I should go ahead and schedule my interview?

The letter simply says that the Consulate will contact me when they are ready to process my petition, but on the forum I saw a couple of members suggesting to go ahead and schedule the interview.

Please clarify this for me. I dont want to waste time, if now it's on me to take action. Thank you!
