US Immigration from Ecuador

Inquiring if anyone knows what the Ecuador protocol is if an applicant's passport is lost by the contracted document carrier? Wife requested her passport back during our admin processing so she could visit family, and a sick parent, after not seeing them for 5 years, and while she was out of the country, Immigration requested her passport to be returned. Once she returned to Ecuador and pickuped the package from Immigration, they had returned all of our documents, evidence and photos with a form solely asking her to return her passport to them. A lawyer advised us that she had probably been finally approved and just needed her passport back to complete the visa application since they consider this a missing document. So, she shipped it by the contracted carrier, DHL, and she actually had to show the DHL employee it was her passport she was including in the package and that was July 4th. As of today, July 11, it is officially lost, via DHL and they are "searching" for it. SMH. Were originally told it was delivered to the wrong city but who knows if that's the truth.

So, anyone know what Ecuador Immigration's protocol for this situation might be or ever heard of a similar situation in another country?

Unfortunately, we probably aren't the first passport document delivery that has been lost by the shipper.

Thanks for any and all feedback!

Hey guys, I have a big question right now.

For filling the I-129f form do we need to include sealed and expunged records from over 20 years, when he was a minor? (nothing really bad, or listed in the crimes list there)

Because it is kinda difficult to get them.

Anyone who knows about it?

Hello,

My sister-in-law has a 10-year tourist visa from Ecuador. We would like her to come visit frequently over the next 10 years but would also like to apply for her Green Card. We understand that she can't wait for AOS while here on a tourist visa because she is not a direct family member as USCIS defines it, but can she still come on her tourist visa with the AOS in process? We know that AOS can take 10+ years so if that jeopardizes here tourist visa we'd really have to consider applying for it since she already has the tourist visa.

My sister-in-law works for a non-profit that is a 501(c)3 in the US but operates in Ecuador. We have invited her here to the US and would like to apply for a religious visa exemption. Her purpose in the states would be to volunteer/work at schools and daycares to grow in her knowledge and ultimately be able to better serve the nonprofit. She currently has a 10-year tourist visa. We were told to invite her here for 3-4 months, then apply for the religious visa. The nonprofit would be the sponsoring organization, but since she would be volunteering, she would not technically work here or for the organization. Is this possible? Can anyone provide any guidance/assistance on how best to achieve this? She is also the sister of my wife so we could apply for her green card but she can't wait here while it is processed so we prefer the religious visa.
