US Immigration from Russia

Hey all!

I have petitioned for my Russian parents to obtain IR-5 visas as I am a US citizen. Now we are required to submit police reports for them from everywhere they lived starting at 16 y.o. and my parents used to live in Kazakhstan when it was part of USSR and some time after USSR fell apart. It seems that the online platform for obtaining the police report (http://Egov.kz) requires an ID that only is assigned to Kazakh citizens, which my parents are not. How can they obtain the police reports without those IDs?

Many thanks!!

My fiancee is a Russian citizen who's been living in Serbia for over a year. We know that we need to get both police certificates (Russia and Serbia), but we're not sure what the expiry is for them.

She has not been back to Russia since leaving, so that certificate will be valid forever, correct?

The Serbian certificate has a 90 day validity on the document - does it need to be uploaded to the NVC during those 90 days, or does the 2-year expiration policy from the State department take precedence?

We're mainly asking because we have literally no clue how long it'll take to obtain the Serbian one, as there's no instructions online for how a non-Serbian-Citizen living inside of Serbia can obtain one. It could be difficult to obtain a facially valid certificate for the NVC without causing a delay for our case.

(We're aware of the official reciprocity schedule, but it only has sections for citizens, "non-citizens who once resided in Serbia, and are now in their native country", and "Non-citizens who once resided in Serbia, and are in a third country now".)

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I've read the threads about needing to print out, hand sign and rescan the i-864 form as a PDF, but what about other documents like translations? For example, I have PDF files from a translation agency that are editable in Adobe Acrobat (meaning I can select "Edit PDF" and all the text fields become editable). I'm assuming the NVC will reject those kinds of PDFs. I can restrict editing in Adobe Acrobat, though. The document will be openable and readable, but editing will require a password. Will the NVC reject it for being "password-protected" if I do that?

Is it best to print out all the PDF translations and rescan as new PDFs?

Thanks

Hi!

Could you please help me to figure out couple of moments.

I m in USA, have I-589 pending asylum. I m asylum applicant, waiting for the interview for already 2 years (not in a removal / deportation process). I got married, my husband is a US citizen. We re filing out all required form in order for me to get a green card through marriage.
I have question about I-485 form - Question 17. Have you ever violated the terms or conditions of your nonimmigrant status? Do I need to mark YES if I came to the US on a B2 visa, and filed an I-589 on my 5 month stay here (was allowed (admitted) to stay for 6 months). I have I-797 notice of action that my asylum case is pending.
I know that Asylum applicant it is not an actual immigration status, but at the same time I did not overstay, filed i-589 within 6 months of stay.
I'm totally confused right now. Thank you.

I have question about I-130 form - 10. Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary. Do I need to mark as YES, if I filed I-589 before and I have I-797 notice of action that my asylum case is pending. Thank you.
