US Immigration from Chile

Hello all,

Here I am 6 or 7 years later after the k1 visa and my step son (16yo) is wanting to come to the US asap. He's had a pretty bad falling out with his mom and his mom is wanting to sign custody over to his dad (my husband).

So I have a few questions.

1. I understand that I'd have to fill out the i130. That is to start the process, correct?

2. The fastest way to get him here is the k4 visa paperwork, correct? Or is there something else that I should be looking into?

3. I thought I read somewhere online in my searches that there is an interview required for the k4 visa with his mother at the US embassy in their country (Chile) is that correct?

4. Is there anything else required of his mother? His mother is going to make this whole situation as difficult as she can, she wants her son to leave but anything dealing with my husband and to make life easy she will typically buck up against. We are writing up with our lawyer the document that she is to sign in order to give him custody so if there is anything else required of her to do then we want to make sure it is in that document.

Thank you all for your time!

Edit to add: My husband has not done the paperwork for his citizenship so he is still an LPR. So I believe I will be filling out the petition since I thought I saw it went through faster for citizens.

Please Help....

My wife an I are filling up the application online for her Citizenship.

She has not had prior marriages. I have had one prior marriage.

Since she has not prior marriages, this is what is showing on her application. Good so far...

but when we review the application, on the question of "Have you been married previously? ", it is showing "YES"

We have checked several times the question from the beginning to the end and there is not part where you can fix it....

I'm assuming it's a glitch on the system... Anyone has had this issue and fixed ???

Hi,

My wife is ready to apply for the US Citizenship based in the 3 year rule . ( I'm US citizen).

We have always submitted the application by mail. We have been researching and there is an option to submit the N-400 online.

Any experience with the online submission? Any pros/cons?

Thank you,

Hi everyone! I know this thread is from a while ago but it seems to have the most potential for answering my questions.

I am a dual citizen, US and Chile. Have been living in Chile for the last 5 years. I haven't made enough foreign income to reach the tax threshold previously but I think now that we're married, I do? I talked to a CPA in the USA and they told me to just file the 1040NR EZ. Is anyone else a dual US citizen and have they done this? Or have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

Hello everyone :

I'm facing a very unusual situation with USCIS. I'm a permanent resident since Nov 2018 (ajust of status),
I sent my application to remove conditions in September 2020 (during pandemic), After more than 2 year since I sent the application, I got my 10 years Green Card in Nov 2022.
On February 2023 I sent my application for naturalization (having 6 years of marriage and 4 years as a resident). I had the appointment for fingerprints in March 2023, and the citizenship interview in August 3th. I passed the interview without any inconvenience.
I was just waiting for the date of my oath ceremony.
And today I receive a notice from USCIS that I have to send evidence of my marriage for the last 3 years previous to N-400 filling date.
I really don't understand why? if they approved to removed my conditions that means that they checked all the evidence that I sent. I don't understand why they are asking again for evidences. My wife and I are been living at the same place for the last 5 years.
I'll sent all the evidence again, but I'm still not understand why?
The only possibility is they lost my files for my I-751. That's why they are requesting evidence again.

Anyone else facing this situation?

Regards.
