US Immigration from Mexico

My stepdaughter (15) had a huge error in judgement and was caught with a vape at school last week. She was not arrested, but she was charged by a local PD officer at the school with possession of paraphernalia (class c misdemeanor), and even though the vape was not empty, they did not charge her with what they could have (felony possession of a controlled substance), so in that, she got extremely lucky. We will eventually get the court summons (they said March or April), and we will be seeking either immediate or deferred dismissal, after which we'll fight for expunction.

We will be submitting our paperwork for removal of conditions for my husband's, hers, and two other stepdaughters' green cards in June. Because they are his dependent children who all entered the U.S. within 90 days of their dad, my understanding is that we will only need to submit one application and list the three children on there with their A numbers. Question 20 in Part 1 of I-751 seems to only reference the applicant.

So, my questions:

1. Because she is a minor, do we need to include this information on the application? If so, where? (possibly under "Additional Information?")
2. If there is not an appropriate place to include it on the application, should we still include the documents in the package?
3. What are the chances of this affecting her permanent resident status? Could they deny the I-751 only for her based on this? (particularly thinking about the current administration)

This is a huge life lesson in actions/consequences for her, and I am not trying to skirt around anything for her. I just want to be sure that it would be required to disclose a minor's criminal history, and if so, where it makes sense to include.

My Mexican girlfriend applied for a B2 visa in 2024 and finally had her interview last week. She said the CO was extremely hostile and had just denied the person in front of her. At the end of of a long, brutal interview, he told her she was only approved for a 1 year visa.

Well she just picked up her visa yesterday and it's restricted to ONE entry to travel to ONE state only. The state is just one she mentioned she'd like to visit, but there were at least 3 other states she listed to the CO.

So we are a bit devastated right now, as she had planned to visit me and also travel to a bunch of other US states this summer (Hawaii, California, etc). Is there a procedure for redress? Can she petition for an extension or some kind of early renewal? I think she just had bad luck with an angry CO.

Hi, I wanted to see if this was ok before applying.

When I first entered the country, it wasn't the state where my spouse lived. They were on a work trip, but we wanted to do entry to get the ball rolling.

I spent about 10 days with them in a residence hotel, then went back home for 2 months to wrap up some personal matters. I did bring belongings that would stay with my spouse as I did consider this starting to move to the US.

When I entered the second time it was to the state I would be residing in. I did take another trip home, but under 6 months, my main concern is, is it an issue that I wasn't in the state where our home is for the first few months.

We won't have 2024 filed yet by the time we file the n400, probably wouldn't be processed in time even if we did.

For what we do have filed, we have 2 years filed jointly, but 1 is married filing separate because the spouse did not have their green card yet and was living abroad.

Is this an issue?

I know this is one of 3 items that they ask for, just wasn't sure if we had enough in the other categories and

Hello Friends. I've noticed that in Mexico now there is a new federal system to request the "Constancia de Antecedentes Penales Federales". The URL for the new Federal System is below. Does anyone know if this new federal form is accepted by NVC?

https://constancias.oadprs.gob.mx/

The website says "Ahora puedes tramitar la Constancia de Antecedentes Penales Federales desde internet. Es v lida impresa en hoja blanca tama o carta ante cualquier gobierno y autoridad municipal, estatal y federal." Translation: Now you can request a Constancia de Antecedentes Penales Federales online. It is valid before any government authority (municipal, state, and federal) when printed on white paper.
