US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi,

I m filing a I130 as sponsor for my husband and we are both currently based in the UK.

I have a few questions about the form I130 that I hope you can help me with.

It s worth noting we have a daughter who was born in the UK. We will be getting her a US passport at the consulate here soon once appointments resume again.

The questions I have are as follows:

- The I130 form states additional family for the beneficiary. Do I add our daughters' details here or leave it as she already has a right to US citizenship through me?

- The section where it mentions if you have you ever filed a petition for the beneficiary - we have previously applied for a fianc visa 7 years ago and ended up withdrawing it as I moved to the UK. Will we need to add this or is it not needed due to being a different type of petition?

-What do you put in the fields that don t apply? Such as, when did your beneficiary s last marriage end? This is our first and only marriage.

- As for evidence, do we add our daughters birth certificate?

- Is an affidavit required if you supply a marriage certificate?

- Once our spouse visa is approved can my husband travel to/from the US after entering the US or are there restrictions here? For example, if there were things (e.g. house sale) which needed tied up along with other loose ends, is it possible for my husband to enter the US then depart again after, for example, a week then return again a month later?

- I know there are minimum financial requirements which the sponsor has to fulfil under the HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support. However, likelihood is that I will not have a job lined up in the US beforehand and so would potentially require a joint sponsor. However, is there something in relation to proving if you hold $X amount in assets (potentially jointly with myself and my husband) would this negate the requirement of obtaining joint sponsorship for example?

-My daughter is a UK citizen. What happens to this citizenship if we complete a CRBA and move abroad?

Thank you in advance.

I'm a USC by birth. currently, my daughter lives in the Philippines.

I have searched CRBA here - is that the route to go?

I'm confused on the DS2029 form it tells me to make an appointment at the US consulate office - does this mean in manila, Philippines where I am currently not in?

I'm guessing the DS5507 is necessary for me to fill out?

I just need to know where to mail the form and make the payment?

If anyone has any first hand knowledge of CRBA, please help me out.

thanks

Hi, I just wanted to know about other peoples experiences, if any in the London embassy as a British Muslim/Pakistani about processing times and background checks (AP).

I know everyone's case is different and an AP for background checks can take a few days to even years, depending on the country and your case complexity.

For reference, I am a female, British citizen that was born in Pakistan and moved to the UK at a young age with a clean criminal record.

I see a lot of people talking about tier 1 or tier 2 officers on here and wonder what the difference is? Do you request to talk to a certain level? Do they help with different things or are they at different levels? I might be calling USCIS next week so was just curious. Thanks!

My fianc has his interview on Tuesday at the London embassy. We were questioning if he should wear a suit or not? Or if a nice sweater and jeans would be sufficient enough?
