US Immigration from Germany

Has anyone had any progress with biometrics or interviews in Portland OR since offices reopened?

Dear all,

who files the I-130 for my kids? Do I or my husband?

I am a newly naturalised US citizen under 319 (b). My children from my first marriage, my husband (their stepdad) and I are living overseas on my husbands overseas military orders (we all are and the kids are his dependents). So both my husband and I are US citizens and my kids have a European citizenship.

We have never filed for their Greencard because their biological dad would not support a petition AND more importantly, the kids didn't want to leave their Dad behind. Hence, my husband decided to try for overseas orders and here we are now. We are now planning ahead for his next military tour in two years time, though. The kids would now like to come with us with the understanding that we keep flying them back to Europe for each school vacation.

But who files for them? My husband or I? Would they automatically naturalise upon entering the US and activating their LPs status? My kids are 10 and 13 years old.

We received NVC Welcome letter today! 2 days after our case approved by USCIS.

Below is my time line:

Send out package 10/28/2019

Received NOA1 11/1/2019

Case transferred from TSC to VSC 02/10/2020

Received NOA2 08/11/2020

Received Welcome letter through email from NVC with case number and Invoice ID 08/14/2020

Hi everyone,

We filed my wife s I-751 in April 2019, she completed biometrics and received her extension letter that expires in January 2021. Our lawyer advised us to file N400, so we did so in June 2020. Immediately after that we received a notice that her I-751 case had been transferred to the NBC.

Does this now mean that both cases will be resolved with one interview? And if so, does this mean we don t really have a chance of receiving a 10 year GC or her having her citizenship interview before her extension letter expires given citizenship timelines, necessitating an InfoPass appointment to keep working after Jan?

I may be over interpreting things so I was wondering what the wise folks of this community think is going on.

Hi,

is anyone in the Milwaukee area or is being processed by the Milwaukee office?

Have you guys received anything from the ASC for your biometrics appointment? I'm still waiting and not really getting answers from USCIS.
