US Immigration from Guyana

My husband's greencard application was approved earlier this week. I would now like to start the petition for his 5 year old son. The child does not have a passport. I read somewhere that the passport is not necessary until the NVC stage. Is that true? Or do we need to have his passport in order to file the I-130? Any info you can offer would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Good afternoon!

I recently submitted an expedite request. Within an hour I received an e-mail confirming that I requested expedite and stating that "Your case is currently being adjudicated. You should receive a notice of action* soon." Has anyone else ever received this message? If so, how long after did you get a decision?

Thanks!

All,

I searched Google and the VJ forum but everything recent is about the 3 year rule for N-400 Additional evidence you may want to provide section. My wife and I have been married for 7 years in two weeks and she is now applying for her citizenship. We are doing it under the 5 year rule as it seems less is required and it was suggested to do so on a recent post in a different thread.

The question is: what, if any, evidence should be put in this section with the 5 year rule in mind?

Our two kids birth certificates are already uploaded, marriage certificate is uploaded, all other required documents. Is there anything else that may assist her with good standing or expedition or anything? Example: I served in the army for the last 10 years. Does my honorable discharge paperwork look good for her application? Proof of her working and going to school to show she is a productive member of society? Or am I overthinking this and there is nothing else really needed since it is not the 3 year rule?

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

I chatted online with Emma today and asked if our case had been assigned to an agent. She said that the status was "in process" and that meant an agent was reviewing the file. Does this have any significance? Is it a good sign that an agent has been assigned? My tracker still says 7 months. We are at the California Service Center. I am SOO anxious about this process. Thanks!

Good afternoon!

I am a US citizen and my spouse is Guyanese living in Antigua. We were married last week and are filing the I-130 online tomorrow. I am SUPER anxious and have so many questions. I appreciate any answers or advice you all have to offer. This is a first for both of us and we are stressed!

1. Is the I-130A filed concurrently with the I-130 when we file tomorrow? If so, is it uploaded as a PDF and filed as evidence?

2. How are the required passport photos submitted?

3. We are currently living apart as he doesn't have a visitor visa. Is there any benefit to filing for the K3?

4. Any other advice that you have to offer on this process!

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out! Good luck to you all and speedy processing!
