US Immigration from Mexico

Hello, community.

9 years ago this site was a huge help to me as we went through the adjustment of status process for my wife. Now, nine years later she is a US Citizen and doing very well here.

She is interested in filing an I-130 for her mother. I'm just beginning to do the research, and figured I'd post here and see if anyone would share thoughts on what I should expect.

The pertinent info:
My wife is from Mexico. We married in April, 2012. She became a permanent resident in Oct, 2012. She became a US citizen in Dec 2019.

We meet the financial requirements for sponsoring her mom if it is required. There is nothing in her mom's background that would be a hindrance to approval, ie. legal trouble, etc. Her mom lives very close to the US border, and has had a border crossing card for 15 or more years. She's always used it responsibly.

I can't think of anything else that would be important to know, but if you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'd love to hear any thoughts you have, especially regarding timelines, suggestions for a smoother process, etc.

Thank you!

Well we finally got our appointment. The consulate put us on ice for 15 months then gave us 3 days notice to be at the interview on Friday! We're excited, but apparently there are a lot of people posting in Facebook groups that the consulate in CDJ is doing two-day interviews. The first day they just take your documents and fingerprints, then the second day they give you the actual interview.

Not only does this seem really dumb, but if Friday is day 1, that means she needs to go back 4 days later on Tuesday due to the long weekend. Has anyone heard about this? Maybe we're misunderstanding? Everything I have read for the last 3 years leads me to believe that there's only one interview appointment and they do everything then.

The consular website has a link where you have to "register your appointment" and set up your biometric appointment, so we're hoping that the fingerprint appointment is day 1 and then we're done on Friday. The site doesn't work, so that's something else we're working on.

Hi everyone!

my husband (American citizen) filed 2020s taxes in April this year and submitted a w7 so I could obtain an ITIN number. He filed as married filing jointly. He thought I wasn t going to get my interview this year, so he went ahead with that. Fast forward 2 months I got my interview and now I have my SSN.

Today I received a letter from IRS saying that my ITIN application cannot be completed since they need my passport. I know ITIN and SSN cannot co-exist. Is there a way that I can cancel that ITIN application? Would he need to file again and now use my SSN number??

Thank you in advance!

Hello people I currently in cuidad juarez with my wife she had medical exam on Friday and recently received medical results but we didn't black envelope clinica international say they will send results electronically to us consulate this normal she has her appointment tomorrow at us consulate thanks

I have searched on this site and other sites before posting this question but sorry if I missed a similar post. NVC emailed last week they are moving K-1 application to Mexico City Embassy which is great. So I was assigned one case number and invoice number for CDJ (original location of interview) and another case number and invoice number for CDMX (current location since they moved all K-1s there). I never got a welcome letter nor invoice despite me completing the online form to request them several times and calling. I must be doing something wrong on CEAC site since when I pull up the new case number and new invoice number I get an error, when I pull up new case number and old invoice I get a message about the DS160 being needed. We are in the process of finalizing the DS160 but how can I pay the fees for everything?
