US Immigration from Philippines

My wife came to the US with her son (my step son) on a CR1 visa and they have both gone through removal of conditions. We are getting ready to file for naturalization and I am unsure how to include my stepson in the process. It is my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) that we just file for her naturalization then when she completes the process we file some paperwork for my step son. It is also my understanding from what I am reading on the state department website that my wife might have to complete her naturalization before he turns 18 in order for him to derive citizenship from her. The problem is he will be turning 17 next month and it is my understanding that naturalization is averaging over a year to process. If my wife starts the process before my step son turns 18 is that enough or does she have to complete the process before he turns 18? Worst case if my step son will not be able to derive citizenship from my wife what does the process look like for him and when do we start it?

Can I send a scanned Intent to Marry with my sign to my fiance instead of mailing it to the US? Thank you!

Hello,

I was married in Japan in 2012 while stationed there. My ex was Japanese. We were divorced in 2016 mutually at City Hall. I submitted my ex wife s short form family register showing our marriage, divorce and her subsequent marriage in 2022 in my K1 package. I received an RFE this week requesting proof of legal termination of marriage. Has anyone had any issues with that form not being accepted? My only other thought is that a certificate of notification of divorce could be needed but the family register is the final document stamped by the mayor and official for divorce. Any thoughts and input is greatly appreciated!

My then fianc e, is now my wife, her 15 yrs old son is following to join as a K2 visa. We are now starting to process his paperwork. He will be traveling alone out of the country the first time. I was told that he s going to need a travel clearance from dswd office. He will be turning 16 yrs old in May. His estimated departure date is on June.

Can anyone confirm this?

We just received the horrible news yesterday. After doing the sputum testing, my fiance got a call 3.5 weeks after the last sample that she needs to go to SLMC to meet a doctor. We are assuming that the sample is positive. She is 26. After hearing she needs sputum testing 2 months ago we got an X-ray and went to another doctor for a TB test that both showed negative. From what I read, there is a very low probability of a 26 year old contracting TB. She also has no symptoms.

Can you please tell me about the process from here? Is it really 6 months of treatment followed by another full medical and sputum testing for 2 months? Is there any way around this? I'm so tired of waiting that if more effort or money is involved to speed up the process, I would do pretty much anything at this point.
