Why would your husband need a biometrics appointment? Something is not adding up.  Did he come to the US via a spousal visa or a tourist visa?  Just trying to get an accurate picture of what the situation is.

Because my son had to go through Biometrics appointment, they then send him his Green Card in the mail. I was pretty sure my husband needed to wait for a biometrics appointment too? I'm so confused. :(

I hope you took the foreign tax credit.

I'm pretty sure I didn't as I don't know what it means. Is there any way to get it back or amend something?

Yes, you can file amended taxes.  If you used Turbotax it is easy. If you didn't it could be tricky.

Simple question which you have yet to answer:  By what visa did your husband and son enter the US?  Did your husband enter on a tourist visa or a spousal visa?

He entered on IR1/spousal visa. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Ahh you say K1 so that confused people, does he need to remove conditions?

And even if he receives it, when he applied for IR1 at embassy, his Tourist visa got revoked.

Yeah, this happened to my wife as well and they cancelled her tourist visa when she went to the interview. 

 

In relation to the other things you were talking about though I understand. I was born and raised in the US but lived with my wife in Peru for 12 years; we had our daughter there in 2012 and then we all moved here at the end of 2022. Look, the US is great and has a lot to offer but it can (for most people in general and immigrants in particular) also be extremely difficult and sometimes perceptions particularly among friends and relatives back home, are hard to overcome; as my wife says - a lot of Peruvians think the streets here are paved with gold and the money falls from the trees. 

 

That said, one of the biggest regrets for both my wife and I was taking our daughter out of a decent school in Peru and putting her in the public school system here. And yes, you can definitely do more there with the same amount of money and honestly, even though Lima is pretty crazy, I do miss it sometimes, as does my wife, especially her family. Funny, the other day I was ordering something for my mother-in-law from Oechsle and I suddenly had that "homesick" feeling, it was weird. 

 

Anyway, in the end, you and your family are the only ones that can make the decision but it's also important to address some of the other things like, if you did move back to Peru, would your job go back to allowing you to work remotely? and, would your husband be able to get his job back? You just don't want to end up going from bad to worse....In either case though, don't feel guilty or apologize and good luck with whatever you decide.
