    You don't. Only people who were BORN in the US have US birth certificates, by definition... Also, you're still a Greek citizen, I'm not sure why you think you aren't.
  2. EM_Vandaveer
    USCIS will issue a NOIR (Notice of Intent to Revoke) but it will take quite some time for that. Then you need to refute their reasons (a lawyer could help). Ideally, USCIS would then re-affirm the petitions and send them back to NVC & the Consulate. Then it would be up to the Consulate once again.
  3. EM_Vandaveer
    No, I assume you couldn't do CRBA because your USC husband doesn't have the required physical presence in the US. If so, this is your only option.
  4. EM_Vandaveer
    If you're doing the N-600K process then no. An interview in the US is part of that process.
  5. EM_Vandaveer
    You haven't fulfilled the requirement to meet in person PRIOR TO filing. Your petition was properly denied.
  6. EM_Vandaveer
    Your realistic path to permanent residency and eventually citizenship in the US is through marriage to your USC boyfriend.
  7. EM_Vandaveer
    The kids will age out, most likely, anyway. A few decades' wait before the PD becomes current and NVC needs the I-864 and by then the required income levels will change.
  8. EM_Vandaveer
    What's a "permanent conditional Green Card"? Very confusing.... Did they file I-751 & went for biometrics for that?
  9. EM_Vandaveer
    I guess if it was DCF the Consulate could have just ignored the need for an I-864? I definitely don't think that'd ever happen if the case was normal consular processing.
  10. EM_Vandaveer
    I'm assuming it wasn't an immigrant visa? To be granted a spousal visa you need an I-864. Without proven US based income or a joint sponsor or assets, no-one gets a spousal visa.

    Department of Homeland Security
  12. EM_Vandaveer
    No, you need a joint sponsor or enough assets. I don't mean to doubt your story but this was no different in 2019, so maybe your recollection is not 100% accurate?
  13. EM_Vandaveer
    1d NVC will know to send it to Sydney (or will ask you about it), once the petition gets to NVC, you'll communicate with them, file documents and such before your case is sent on. Using the USCIS Misinformation Line for legal advice/form filling advice is generally unwise. They don't know what they're talking about and if they advise you wrong you can't rely on the fact that their mistake caused your mistake, in trying to fix it.
  14. EM_Vandaveer
    I'm talking about OP's situation. K-1 & dual-intent visas are another story but neither of those apply to OP.
  15. EM_Vandaveer
    Meaning if the beneficiary is ALREADY in the US. One cannot ENTER to US with intent to adjust, it's fraud.
  16. EM_Vandaveer
    I-824 has to be sent to USCIS. Unfortunately this will cause a year-long delay in your process. You can't enter the US with intent to file for adjustment of status. That'd be fraud. Your immigrant visa, once issued is not a temporary visa, when you enter the US with it, you become a LPR. No adjustment of status necessary.
  17. EM_Vandaveer
    N-600s are expensive, nevertheless, it's better to get them (after they get passports) so your kids have proof that they're US citizens.
  18. EM_Vandaveer
    She will once she enters on her immigrant visa but she has to get said immigrant visa first.
  19. EM_Vandaveer
    I-864 has to be filed eventually. In the case of K-1, during the AOS stage, in the case of CR-1, during NVC stage but it's not like there's a choice in it if OP want his future spouse to get a GC...
  20. EM_Vandaveer
    1) They won't care (Think about it logically, in a case of true abuse, the abuser can easily send a letter saying "it's all lies". For this reason, your version of events, no matter how truthful, cannot be taken into consideration.) 2) I understand it's hard but let it go. There are no legal consequences to you. At this point it's between your ex & the government.
  21. EM_Vandaveer
    Applies to naturalization under the 5-year rule: half that time, 30 months need to be spent in the US (physical presence). In OP's case it's 18-month rule since the N-400 will be (I assume) filed under the 3-year eligibility rule.
  22. EM_Vandaveer
    Assuming y'all are still married, in your case it's 18-month rule, starting from the "residence since" date on her GC. Don't forget to file I-751.
  23. EM_Vandaveer
    Do you have a common name? The combination of this + Arab/Muslim country of origin can lengthen AP.
  24. EM_Vandaveer
    You're not exempt from filing... (I'm assuming your income was over the filing threshold.)
  25. EM_Vandaveer
    A lawyer can't help. Take it step by step. Wait a few weeks and see if anything changes. If a few months go by you can e-mail the Consulate but they'll likely say she's in AP & just wait. Unfortunately there's not much that can be done aside from waiting.
