US Immigration from Colombia

My wife has been in the US for 3 years now , next month we have the green card interview in San Francisco. I am a US Citizen and we married , now the green card will hopefully be given after a long wait. I have read that as long as we have been married and together for 3 continuous period that we are good to go. My question is at what point can she and my 13 year old stepson apply for citizenship? Can we apply right after she gets her green card or do we have to wait?

My fiancee and I have a visa interview scheduled this month in Bogota, Colombia. I have been making sure I have everything I need to take with me to support the interview process. I have 2 divorce decree original documents. However, I am confused by the instructions sent by the embassy. Can anyone tell me what "authenticated photocopies" means? Below is the original Spanish along with an English translation as well.

TERMINACION DE MATRIMONIOS ANTERIORES: Fotocopias autenticadas de sentencias finales de divorcio, anulaciones o certificados de defunci n son necesarios para todos los solicitantes y peticionarios. Para probar que un divorcio Colombiano fue registrado ante las autoridades civiles, usted debe traer su registro de nacimiento o registro de matrimonio con nota marginal junto con los certificados originales de divorcio.

TERMINATION OF PREVIOUS MARRIAGES: Authenticated photocopies of final divorce decrees, Annulments or death certificates are required for all applicants and petitioners. To prove that a Colombian divorce was registered before the civil authorities, you must bring your birth certificate or Marriage record with marginal note along with original divorce certificates.

Thanks!

Hi all and thanks for any advice you can provide.

My step daughter sent in he I-130 (married to a US Citizen) but also wanted to send in the I-485 (at the same time) but wasn't able to due to website limitation. Has anyone ever gone through a similar process that could provide some help?

Also wondering if we could go ahead and mail in the I-485 now.

Thanks for your time and efforts!

Hi,

My fianc e are preparing for the K1 visa interview in Bogota, Colombia. We are making final preparations by getting her birth certificate translated into English. I don't think the translation will be an issue because she is going to have someone professionally translate it into English. But I'm concerned about the original birth certificate because the font on the form is faded. As you can see, the actual information that was typed is very legible, which is the most important part. See the attachment. She requested a copy of the birth certificate and it looks the same as the original. Do you think this will be a problem for the interview or when we start the AOS process here? If this will be an issue, how do we get a better copy if the one provided to her is just as faded as the original? Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My husband moved to the US on a K1 in October 2015. We married in November 2015 and immediately adjusted status. His Conditional Permanent Resident card was approved in April 2016. Conditions were removed in and approved in February 2019.

on USICS s website under am I eligible, it asks if you became a LPR (lawful) before April 2017 and then it s the 5 year rule.

My question is does the 5 year rule Apply to when you became a Conditional Resident or a Lawful resident? Or does it mean when you moved here?

Thanks!
