US Immigration from Colombia

hello im trying to file for my parents now that im a us citizen. is the form i 130 the current form to submit ? i thought there was another form that gets filled just to get approval for petition?

I am a US Citizen and at 3 years my wife can apply for citizenship via N-400. My wife has a now 15 year old who is her son from a previous marriage does he have to also fill out the N-400 and pay the fees? or is there another process? Thank you for the help

Both my wife and her son are permenant residents living here in the US with me for the last 5 years, its going to be 3 years since they received green cards.

Hello,

I got a RFE for the I-485 for petitioning sponsor on Form I-864 evidence of US National.

I was in a rush to get to work and uploaded just a .jpg picture of my US Passport Biographical Page to the online USCIS account response submission and did not include the original RFE letter nor a cover page.

Should I resubmit a mailed hard copy with letter and cover page? Deadline isn't until June 17, 2024.

I read on the forum from a thread years ago someone did the same (online submission without original RFE letter then a snail mail copy with RFE letter) and had no issues. Another was a snail mail RFE response without original letter and the main concern was responding to RFE via snail mail without the original letter and having no way to connect the submitted evidence to their case. I assume since I submitted it online via my USCIS Account, its attached/connected to my application.

Thanks

Hi everybody,

I just filled out Form I-134 for my fianc e and wanted to make sure I got some things right:

• I'm supporting both my fianc e and her minor daughter. When reading the instructions at first it sounded like I need to fill out 2 forms, one for each of them, but then I realized her daughter was listed in the Part 2 #13 as a dependent, so it seems like just 1 form is necessary for my fianc e as the main beneficiary. Anybody know if this is correct, or do I need to fill out another one for my future step daughter as well?
• In Part 2 #13 I listed both my fianc e and her daughter. Under Total Number of Dependents I put 1 - i.e. my fianc e has 1 dependent. Correct? Or should it be 2, because there are two names on the form?
• In Part 3 #14 I put that I have 0 dependents, as I currently don't have any dependents living with me in the United States (i.e. my fianc e and her daughter are not my dependents yet). Plus, it says don't include individuals named in part 2. Is this correct?
• In Part 3 #21 where it asks to explain the contributions you will make to the beneficiary, I just wrote "All expenses for (fianc e's name) and (step daughter's name)." Is this sufficient?
• Attached to the form, I'll give my fianc e a copy of my US passport, letter from my employer stating my income, and my 2023 tax transcripts

Just as extra backup in case anything comes up, I also plan top bring all of my tax transcripts, W2s and 1040s going back 3 years, and all of my paystubs for this year. I know that may be a little hardcore, but I would feel better being over prepared.

Anything I'm forgetting?

Thanks!

Hey everybody!

My wife (Colombian) and I (US citizen) live abroad in Brazil.

I have a work contract that ends in July 2025 (That I would like to complete)

This is why I'm wondering if an Immigration process (IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa) can be intentionally delayed without issues, like having the case canceled and sent back to USCIS.

Right now (March 2024), we are at the stage of submitting documents to the NVC.

The NVC contacted us in August 2023 to let us know our assigned case #.

All documents submitted up to this point have been "Accepted," and we have an FE Review Note asking for extra documents that are pending to be submitted.

Even though we haven't been DQ'ed yet, we seem to be pretty close to the end of the NVC process and moving to the interview stage.

Because my work contract ends in July 2025, we would like to have the interview between February - April 2025.

1. Is it possible to delay the NVC approval until next year?

2. What would happen if we don't submit this pending document, requested in March 2024 in the FE Review Note, until January 2025?

3. If it is possible to delay the NVC approval, is there any reason you might recommend against that?

Could it potentially harm our chances of getting the visa approved?

I have heard about the section 203(g): "Termination of Registration: Secretary of State shall terminate the registration (petition) of any alien who fails to apply for an immigrant visa within one year of notice of visa availability".

Since the NVC contacted us for the first time in August 2023:

4. Does it mean we have until August 2024 to complete the case, get DQ'ed, and do the interview?

5. Or, because we have some documents accepted and we have been actively in contact with the NVC, does this "year conditionally" not count?

Thank you!
