We are currently waiting on our NOA2 for our K1. We have three children that will accompany us to USA as K2.

Has anyone recently completed this process with children? If so can you reply about your experiences. Also about arrival with children in the USA.

The DS-160s... Do I need to rill out a separate DS-160 for each child and the Beneficiary too? For some reason I thought that when you added children to the Beneficiary's DS-160, that the form then allowed continued filing out of three more forms all linked and to be submitted at once? Where did I get this idea? Also then I assume there is a separate DS-160 (Visa) fee for each of the children and beneficiary, i.e. times 4. Currently we have the DS-160 filled out to the "Review" section after the "photo". (Beneficiary photo accepted) We do not intend to actually submit it until we have the NVA as I think I am seeing recommended on this forum. So did I miss something where the children's forms should be linked together for one submission?

Also can someone please explain about arrival in the USA. Will I, The sponsor Fiance, be able to go through the same immigration/customs line to help with the children. I'm sure they will be all wound up from the excitement. Perhaps I need to break out this into a separate question here on the forum. If so then mention that and I will. Also I seem to be unable to figure out how to post to the specific Philippine forum. Specifically, I understand that only 15 years old and up need to attend the interview. Is this correct? Our children are 9, 10, and 15.

Hello

Posting on behalf of friend. She is still conditional resident awaiting approval of I 751. Some time ago, after moving to a new apartment, she lost her green card during the move. After online request from USCIS, she got ADIT stamp on I94 card as proof of her status as she needed to travel out of country. Recently, after doing a big clean of her apartment, she found her green card again hidden under furniture. While she is happy to find it again, she is unsure what to do with it re: travelling and future applications like naturalization.

Is the green card still valid for use for travel and re-entry into US? What should she do now that she has both ADIT stamp and green card? Will it give her issues with USCIS in the future?

Indian Citizen: Birth date on passport and birth certicate is off by 10 days. Passport is 6 years old.

Indian goverment site says:

if the applicant was a major when his/her first passport with incorrect date of birth
was issued, he/she can correct it, within five years of issue of the first passport. No
change of date of birth is allowed afterwards.

Getting married to US citizen this month and want to apply for VISA.

What should I do?

Hey everyone!

Is anyone from 2023 filers here (October-November)?

I see now they are approving 2024 filers within a year, some even earlier.

But what's with us?

We applied to an online enquiry after a normal processed time has passed, they said to wait 60 more days and now it's shutdown in the country.

I hope it's ok to create a new post for this as it's a different subject that doesn't really fall under the first.

So, we did not get a joint bank account yet. My husband isn't allowed to work yet, so we were waiting until he was allowed. Also, it was just easier since it took a while for the banks to hash out the situation with the funds for some reason. (French banks seem to be a nightmare, or maybe just his.)

In any case, he finally has his funds transferred and he has his own account. To help pay bills, he just transfers money to me and I pay them. We were going to split it up once he had a job, but that's what we've been doing for now.

Is his bank account mailed to our home enough proof that he's living here with me as a couple? We do have a joint phone bill now, he and my step-daughter are on my plan and they send me the funds to pay, I can print out and include a copy of the bill.

They are also on my health insurance plan now, I can print something with that? Or just photocopy the cards?

In addition to this I have photos of us of course, our wedding, us with the family, us at trivia night with my brother, etc...

Would these work?

TIA!
