US Immigration from Ecuador

Is it necessary to buy a roundtrip ticket for the flight entering the US after the interview to obtain the green card? We, of course, only want a one way but I am not sure if there is a problem checking in for the flight in Ecuador when we don't technically get the green card until going through immigrations in the US.

In your experiences do you think being ALT can have any effect on approvals?

By ALT I mean alternative having tattoos, piercings, dyed hair etc... is this something that can be discriminated against during medical exams and or consulate interviews?

Would love to hear your opinions! Thanks!

Do we need to go to Registro Civil to get new copies of various docs such as the inscripci n de nacimiento, inscripcion de matrimonio with the stamp on the back? Of course they were approved by the NVC but all of those docs are only valid for 60 days. When I uploaded them to the NVC it was within the 60 days, but now it is well past the 60 days. Or do I bring the originals that I uploaded to the NVC?

When sending documents to USCIS (such as a divorce decree in Spanish) is this something I need to have a certified translation of or can I translate it myself?

Should I include both the English and Spanish copies or does USCIS only need the English copy?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,

Me and my fianc are currently waiting for our I-129F petition to be processed (6 months in). However, we recently just found out that she is pregnant. I am assuming that by the time our baby is born that our petition will probably be just getting looked at (she probably wouldn't be able to travel after 6 months anyways). So now I am preparing to have to apply for a CRBA when after our baby is born. I am the father to be and the U.S citizen and she is from Ecuador.

After going to the embassy website, I have a question regarding one of the requirements that states, "There has to be a biological relationship between the child and transmitting U.S. Citizen"

I looked at some other immigration websites and even the USCIS and they all pretty much state the same thing. Either blood relationship or biological relationship, etc.

My question is, what type of evidence or proof are they asking for? A DNA test? Or is this just at the discretion of the CO? I plan to present during the CRBA appointment when the time comes. Thanks
