US Immigration from France

Hi everyone. Does anyone know anything about Djibouti interviews. My friend has an appointment coming up in December and would like to know if they are requesting the people who have interviews confirm that they are coming to the interview. As far as i know you just attend the interview with your appointment letter and confirmation letter and other civil docs. Your help is truly appreciated.

I'm sorry in advance if this is the wrong tab to post this under... I wasn't sure.

So as of October 25, USCIS has sent our file to the Dept. of State. (I suppose this is the same as NVC?)

I was looking at the timeline and noticed that there are more fees for processing:

1. Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee
2. Affidavit of Support Fee.

(above from the NVC website)

FYI_ We did not receive the Welcome Letter yet from NVC... just the USCIS case update that they sent on the file. I'm just trying to get everything in order for when we do receive the Welcome Letter. I know that we don't pay these fees until we receive the letter from NVC. Oh, and question on that note: who will receive this Welcome Letter? My Fiance or me?

Does anyone know if we must pay these processing fees twice? (As in: Once for my fiance and once for his daughter?)

I don't see it clearly explained how dependent children intending to come with the K1 Visa beneficiary are supposed to be handled in the paperwork process.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

TIA!

1. I want to change my name to that of my grandmother to honor her because she raised me (as my parents could not).
2. My N-400 was approved but during my interview the USCIS officer told me she could not change my name through the N-400 because my name needed to match my divorce decree,
3. My oath ceremony is scheduled in 12 days,
4. An immigration lawyer told me that I can still file a form N-565 at the Oath Ceremony and have my name change done right there and then,
5. Yes a judge will be at the Oath Ceremony
6. For obvious reasons, I am trying to avoid hiring an immigration lawyer (I have filed all my documents by myself from K-1 to N-400),
7. For obvious reasons, I am trying to avoid going to court after naturalization to get my name change because then I would need to require another naturalization certificate and that takes months.

I am looking at the N-565 form and it seems that none of the options apply to me.

Did anyone do that AT THE OATH CEREMONY? How did you do fill this form?

Hello friends. I have a friend who has a relative that came on a tourist visa and had her baby here in which he became citizen afterwards. Can that child return at the age of 6. When his mom comes back on a tourist visa and attend an elementary school? your help is always truly appreciated.

I received our I129F approval letter with a notice date: 09/04/2024

The Approval notice states that it is valid until 01/03/2025

When I check the status of our case on USCIS it says only that we were approved. It says nothing about the approval being sent to NVC.

We don't have a lot of time before the I129F expires and there's still a lot to do.

How long do I wait to contact someone to check if we have a NVC case number?

Would I contact USCIS for that? I tried calling today but it was only an automated system that sent me in circles with no new information.

I read all of the information that I could find here and it seems that around now is when we should have notification that USCIS sent our file to NVC.

What happens if the I129F expires before they give us a NVC case number or before my fiance gets an embassy appointment?

I'm sorry if this question gets asked a lot. I did look around and found similar questions but all with different circumstances.

Thank you in advance for any helpful information!
