I doubt he's exempt from the public charge ground of inadmissibility, therefore no fee waiver is available for the I-485.

A mandamus forces a decision, not necessarily an approval. If your case is still stuck in background checks, USCIS may just choose to deny it...

It's water under the bridge now but this is one of those rare instances K1 would have been preferable since K2 can be issued up to age 21...

It's tax household. No need to include parents & siblings.

This was most likely the extension letter. He should try and get it re-sent.

You can't file your taxes as "Single" when you are married. Your choices are "Married Filing Jointly" or "Married Filing Separately".

You don't need an apostille as you were told on an earlier post. You really do NOT need it.

Usually unwise to leave anything blank. Put N/A if Not Applicable to you...

Your wife becomes a citizen after her oath ceremony. If your step-daughter is a permanent resident under 18 and living with your wife in her custody on that day, then she'll also become a citizen then.

My Hungarian passport expired in 2017 and I haven't renewed it. I entered and left Hungary several times since on my US passport (staying more than 90 days), I asked them at the border if that's a problem and was told no, they can see my place of birth is Hungary on my US passport and assume I haven't renounced my Hungarian citizenship (I haven't) so no problem....

Beautiful, I wish I was at this ethical level. I'm not. Yet.

that, I totally agree with

I get where you're coming from but it's not ethically, morally or legally right to do that. We can't stoop to their level. Any person in our captivity: needs to get fed, be able to sleep and be given medical attention. If we want to kill them, we need to have a proper trial first.

Smart thing would be delaying your plans until after she naturalizes.

I'm for changing the law on death penalty in Israel: right now it only applies to Nazis complicit in the Holocaust, I think it should be "crimes against the Jewish people" to include the atrocities of 7th October. IMHO terrorists who took part in 7th October are simply not fit to live among humans. Since we're not going to drop them on a deserted island they need to be executed. After due process, of course. Hang them, because we're civilized people, unlike them. (Otherwise I'd say kill them very slowly, chopping off a small body part a day until they die....) But we're civilized...... I'm not an international lawyer but IMO they're not POWs. Nevertheless, they should be treated humanely in the meantime simply because you treat people who are in your captivity humanely. That's a universal ethical obligation. One that they ignored but we shouldn't.

Because ultimately it's bad for us & bad for them to rule over them on a non-equal footing. So for both our sakes. Yes, all these. My family lives in TX, also don't encounter it much but it exists. Not so long ago in Dallas Jews were kept in a hostage situation in a synagogue....

Annex, annex, annex, then force citizenship.

The birth certificate is not being submitted to USCIS but to the consulate.

Any specific reason you don't just want to go with the DNA test option? Seems straightforward, if not exactly cheap...

Really sorry to hear that her ethnic group is being targeted for killing by the government. That's absolutely horrible.

Oy, and I was touched by his first speech regarding all this (I'm not a fan of him, or really any politician)...

Germans invented the word "anti-semitism", basically to make "Jew-hatred" sound better & more respectable/scientific/as a legitimate political philosophy....

Oh wow! That's...... hard to find words. Did British Mandate law also prescribed death as punishment? I somewhat doubt it...
