US Immigration from Ukraine

Hello All,

For the affidavit of support down the road, I may need a co-signer but for now my income is on the edge. I'm finding conflicting info if it's possible to waive the I-130 filing fees (my wife and child).

I thought I read 'This fee cannot be waived' but further reading is confusing. I reviewed the 912 and it doesn't specify any restrictions.

I greatly appreciate any help. I'm very early in the process. We're ready to file but having to fly back/forth each month or so has crippled finances.

Thank you!

Hello All,

I am very early in the i-130 process. I'm trying to determine all the documents needed and how they should be. Couple questions:

Do the birth certificates need an Apostle?

Do translations need notarized?

Does child custody agreement need notarized out just translated?

Thank you so much

Hello all !

My husband has finally had his N-400 interview scheduled. However, he has his I-751 still pending (status shows "Fingerprints were taken"). That status came up as soon as we applied for N400 under the 3 year rule (K1 visa).

The letter he received regarding his N-400 interview doesn't mention anything about this interview being a combo interview, and I am not sure if I am supposed to be coming with him ? Or if I should ring any additional documents just in case it IS a combo interview ?

Not really sure how to proceed, should I call USCIS and ask if the I-751 is is outdated ?

Interview is in NJ, in newly built Cranbury office.

Thank you !

My step-daughter's visa shows a 10 year expiration date. I think it should be two years.

Marriage date: 8/18/2020

I-130 Sent for wife and step-daughter: 9/14/2020

Wife approved and entered US: 8/11/2021 Visa expires: 8/11/2023

Step-daughter approved a few months later and entered US: 2/9/2022 Visa expires: 2/9/2032

She entered less than 2 years after the marriage, so from my understanding, her Visa should expire on 2/9/2024.

Asking for people that have firsthand experience with this.

My wife got naturalized on Monday and got her passport yesterday. She did have a question and I am sure others have experienced this.

Her Ukrainian passport is under her maiden name (and its a huge pain to switch it and would prefer not to because she owns two properties in Ukraine and doesn't want to have to change all of that paperwork)

She had a friend who had an identical situation (Ukraine passport - Maiden Name; US Passport - Married Name) and entered Ukraine under her American passport b/c the ticket was booked under her married name. Her friend joked and said yeah I guess I could only stay 90 days because I technically entered as a tourist.

How have others dealt with this situation in the past?
