Absolutely remember ongoing issues and unfinished conversations from Part 26, and carry on with them here!

We had some great approvals within Part 26, and we look forward to celebrating yours here in Part 27.

Tracking says it arrived at the Chicago lockbox on Saturday October 7th. (9 days ago)

Any idea when we can expect our NOA1? I thought we would have heard something by now...

Thanks in advance

Mother in law's tourist Visa is expiring in 4 months, her passport expires in 5 years, can she still travel to the USA even if she has 4 months before it expires? how about 3 months before it expires?

She is an Ecuadorian citizen and has been in the USA 3 times, her daughter is a US citizen.

Also, looking to renew her Visa, and I'm almost done doing her DS-160, how does the interview waver program works? is it by country? does Ecuador apply? I saw in other forums that suggest not to schedule an interview appointment in case you get an IWP letter, just a little confused. Can't I just schedule appt and they will eventually let me know if she doesn't need an interview?

thank you!

Hi All,

I just have a couple questions regarding the I-134 and how to list her child and our child that was born out of our relationship. I understand that her child does not need a separate I-134 for the interview. So would I list her as "Child" or as "Beneficiary" in Part 2?

Second question, our child already received her CRBA and is currently just waiting for her passport so she can travel with my fiance and her child together. In the I-134, would I also list her under part 2? Or since she's our child with US Citizenship, would I list her under myself in Part 3? If I do list her in part 2, would I just write her as "Child"?

Lastly, do we count the beneficiary as a dependent or just the children? Thanks everyone in advance!
