US Immigration from Bosnia-Herzegovina

Hello, dear people.

Here is the rundown:

my friend s I-130 petition for her husband living abroad

PD: 07/01/2022 Texas SC

First review: 07/17/2022

Second Review: 05/01/2023

Denied the same day. No RFE s, no NOID. She didn t supply the translated marriage certificate.

Filed motion to reopen and reconsider on 05/30/2023, within 30 days.( She was abroad with him when the petition was denied)

Arizona USCIS review dept, sent it back on to Texas SC on June 8th. She is at this point thinking to reply instead waiting for the decision. She is in dire situation since she is scheduled for open heart surgery post delivery. Does she need to withdraw the Motion to Reopen ( I-290b ) or straight up file everything again? Thank you so mucb.

My sister (us citizen) brought her son (under 18) on B1/2 visa to visit. Since they didn t meet the requirements for child born abroad he s not a citizen. While at the interview they were told that he can become a citizen when he comes to the US? What are the options now?

Can someone who has 2 year green card and is in the process of inquiring the 10 year one be a joint sponsor?

Hello everyone,
I have been reading a lot about whole us immigration process and my head is about to explode so I hope you can help me.

I am citizen of Bosnia-Herzegovina, I have B1/B2 visa and my boyfriend is natural born US citizen. I visited US twice in last 6 months, I stayed 2 weeks only both times. We want to get married and live there together and we are finding the simplest way to do it without having to be separated long time. We are together for year and a half, we have been traveling together and meeting but it is hard to be away from each other.

So he met 2 different attorneys and both said that it would be fine for me to enter US on my current visa and get married there and then apply for AOS. After reading things online and here on VJ I saw that it can be considered fraud and result in deportation. So I am confused why would attorneys advice that.

Our relationship is genuine, we can prove that and I am not marrying for the GC. And last thing I want is getting in problems with law.
Does anyone have experience marrying in the US on B1/B2 and applying for AOS? Is there a better option?

Thank you so much for help!

Question to all as this has me scratching my head. This link from CDC is a faq on covid vaccines requirement. Per CDC, only non-immigrant visas including K-1 require proof of covid-19 vaccine. IMMIGRANT visas do not (as immigrant visa holders turn LPRs upon activation if their visa/processing at POE).

Immigrants and Other Non-affected Persons

The Presidential Proclamation and CDC s Amended Order do not apply to immigrants (including Special Immigrant Visa holders). An immigrant is any non-U.S. citizen who has a visa listed in Immigrant Visa Categories on the U.S. Department of State s webpage Directory of Visa Categories; it does not include K nonimmigrant visa holders, who are Covered Individuals (see below).

On what authority is DOS changing DS-3026 (medical examination of immigrants) to require covid-19 vaccine when it goes against CDC rules?
