Hello everybody:

A friend's daughter is a US citizen and the daughter filed for her in 2023, in may of 2024 she was approved and sent to NVC, neither of them knew of this and finally my friend received a letter asking her if she is still interested.

How can she go about it. the letter says to login to CEAC and pay all required fees and documents.

question: What are the fees and how much do they cost

Thank you for your help

I am new to this community. Holding GC, from 2018. Submitted N400 on 8/3/2025 online on General category. Received acknowledgment and biometric reuse. Present status is Case is Still Being Processed by USCIS .

Let me know if anyone has applied during this time and if there any developments, please keep me posted in this forum.

I came to america when i was 8 year old with dad. My dad did all the paperwork to bring me to america. Now i am a america citizen but i dont know my parents full name, birthday, place of birth? I know a immigration lawyer help me get my papers but i dont have money?

fiancee went to doctor appointment , did all medical exams and shots, at the end of her visit she told her good luck to you on your visa process, but she never gave her no paperwork or receipt proving that she did the medical exam.

so my question is how does that go, do doctors transmit that in the system or by mail to the consulate?

don't you have to bring with you proof of medical exam at the day of the interview?

i appreciate it in advance.

Hello, my spouse and I live in Turkey. We filled out the I-130 form. I am the beneficiary, and my spouse is the petitioner. My wife underwent bariatric surgery on October 17. She had a sleeve gastrectomy. She had this surgery due to many reasons, including heart problems, excessive breathing problems related to her weight, and gastritis that developed in her stomach.

We I -130 form on June 4, 2025. I have had financial problems before. I am one of the victims of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. I lost approximately $20,000 in 2023. For a country like Turkey, this was a significant loss. Because of this loss, most of my savings disappeared. Even after getting married, we are still living in my family's house and renting a house everyone in the house is working. In short, I am a victim of a serious financial loss whose effects continue to this day.

My wife is experiencing severe pain after her surgery. Due to bariatric surgery, she needs a lot of psychological support and care. My entire family and I are working, so no one can look after her, and this situation is very upsetting. I don't have the means to send my wife to America regularly. My monthly income is nowhere near enough to cover it. Even if I could send her, she couldn't go because she is financially dependent on me and lives in Turkey. I don't earn enough with my income to sustain life in two different countries.

In this situation, my spouse and I are in a difficult position. Unfortunately, my spouse needs essential family support and medical care. For this reason, we requested expedited processing for the I-130 from USCIS and our Senator. We have attached the following documents:

- My spouse's hospital records (regarding the surgery)

- My spouse's post-surgery photos

- Emails and legally admissible financial documents regarding my losses on FTX

- Proof of my salary payments to demonstrate the low amount of my wages

- Health articles and supporting academic evidence indicating the necessary family and psychological support following this surgery

- Our letters of intent detailing our situation

I wanted to share all this for a similar reason. What are our chances of getting Expedite approval, or has anyone else experienced a similar situation? I would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on this matter...
