US Immigration from Mexico

So my wife is eligible to take her USC test next year so naturally we started thinking about starting the process of moving her family (Mexico) over to the US as well. I have a very close relationship with her family and would love for them to come to the US. Her family is as such:

Dad (42)

Mom (42)

Sister (20 married w/ 2 children)

Brother (11 but was born in the U.S.)

Sister (10)

Being that her brother was born in the US I know she won t have to petition for him. Is it true the wait time for her sisters to be able to come over as a LPR would be 22 years right now? Is there any options for them to be in the US faster permanently? How long would it take for her parents to be LPRs?

Also, in case you are wondering about her USC brother, her and her family was in the US unlawfully from 1999-2011 in which her father was deported and the rest of the family voluntarily left back to Mexico with only her father incurring a 10 year ban.

Hi all,

Quick question and title really says it all, but I (US citizen) am the primary account owner of our credit card account and my wife is an authorized user. Therefore, my name is on the monthly statements but we both have our own cards. Our checking account is joint and shows both of our names on the statements and of course shows the monthly credit card charge which would match the statement. When I include our credit card account statements, would a page showing that she is an authorized user suffice?

Hi All,

My wife and were legally married in a small civil ceremony with family and close friends shortly after her arrival on a K1 visa. It was always the plan to have a much larger wedding in the Catholic church down the line. She got her GC in November of 2020 and we got re-married in her home country earlier this year. There were 150+ people and it was a much more typical wedding. This of course had a big effect on some of our financial and travel activity. Has anyone done anything similar? It was really a matter of religion and celebration so I m not sure how USCIS would view a situation like that.

Thanks in advance! You all are fantastic.

Hi All,

I have a quick question about including our utility bills with our application. I stupidly threw a lot of statements away each month so I don t have them kept in a neat order (eg. quarterly). They all have both of our names on them. Would it suffice to call our providers and have them send historical statements? I suppose I could find a way to print them online but I feel like having them accompanied with the envelope would be stronger evidence.

Filed i129 in 2021 feb... approved.. fev 2022 NVC has never sent a welcome letter with the receipt number to upload documents. I have sent several emails and they have given me a case number but I cannot track it .. or upload documents or anything. The only thing NVC sent me in June was that the consulate in Mexico city was closed... which is not true either. Numerous emails but they reply with a timeline of 30 days. Its ridiculous...
