US Immigration from Ukraine

For me, the estimate a few weeks ago was April. Then it was May. Now it is July. My application shows at Nebraska with no action yet.

Is this stretching out a common experience now?

What is the current wait time after the DQ to the interview for the parents of US citizens (IR5) in Kiev/Kyiv consulate? Any insight anyone?

Apparently, DHS has paroled 31000 migrants into the USA since March from the southern border. This used to be very rare.

Is there any discussion of paroling all of us in the lengthening queue while DHS processes our paperwork. Does State really HAVE to be involved in this process?

Here is my question . Are these children now my adopted stepchildren now officially? I am the Petitioner and they are the beneficiaries. Looking this up on google says the CR2 visa is for adopted children in immigration. My wife and her two children received their Visas a few weeks ago. I had to file three petitions. Hers says CR1 and both of theirs, ages 7 and 11 say CR2. My work pays all fees for adoption of children including outside of the US. My boss just brought this to my attention. If they are I could get this money back and put it into their future savings. I could call a lawyer and ask but I did all this paperwork for all three on my own and feel lawyers try to just take our money and that would defeat the purpose.

Hey anyone crazy like me that watched every detail to filing my I-751. I used UPS and had it delivered to the Phoenix, AZ location as mentioned on the website. I was checking the tracker and it said that It was delivered and received by a guard. I thought it was supposed to be a box or like a lockbox. Is this how this usually works? Thank you! Will Uscis txt me the receipt # with the paper I sent requesting it? How long from today do I wait to see the money disappear from my bank account and get a notice in the mail? Thanks
