Hi all,

I was hoping to get some advice on a situation. I m a green card holder and filed for my wife s green card under the F2A category back in 2022. She recently received her interview appointment at the Montreal Consulate for the end of October. In the meantime, we ve just welcomed our first child.

Does anyone know how I can add my newborn as a derivative beneficiary to the case? Also, if you have experience with this, could you share the correct email addresses or contacts at the NVC/Consulate where I should send the request?

Many thanks for anyone that might have some insight on this.

I submitted my i751 a week ago and received my receipt and biometrics appointment date.

However, I noticed that my DOB was incorrect for the online access part, and then checked the submitted form. The year had a typo and was wrong (last digit was supposed to be 2, but I put 4).

What should I do? I am so worried that this will affect my case negatively. Should I submit something online, or wait for the appointment and discuss it there?

Thanks in advance.

If we lived together outside the US before getting the green card, will that count, or only after entering the US?

This morning, while at work, my wife received a text message from USCIS letting her know that she would receive a call in 30 minutes. She checked the number and it was legit.

Few minutes later, she received the call and a lady started questioning her about both petitions (K-3 and I-130). She asked her why she has 2 petitions in her file? Country where am i living, my date of birth, marriage date..etc.. She went to specific information but nothing bad at all except she was not aware of that to be well prepared.

Since we are not familiar with this and we would like hear your opinion regarding this random call.

1- Did anyone experience that before? non informed or random call or a last minute call?

2- According to your experience, what could be the meaning? suspicion of fraud? OR (to be positive) a sign that they are working on my- petitions and a decision is expected soon?

Thank you,
