    It's not her first GC, she had a 2-year GC then you did RoC and she received her 10-year GC.

    I can only second that you have to file I-751, don't forget that first...

    Household members for I-864 is TAX household, not the people you live with. It's the joint sponsor who should list the previously sponsored immigrant on their I-864.

    Wow, learnt something new today. So maybe the lawyer meant by re-marrying they would place their divorce under suspicion that it was done solely to circumvent immigration law - which it sounds like it was......However without re-marrying there would be no sign or proof of that.

    If he never agrees in writing to financially support the child then the mother can't get US citizenship for the child. Also, he's not on the birth certificate.

    Doing drugs or smoking doesn't cause Down Syndrome. She must have had prenatal testing.
  7. EM_Vandaveer
    Why not become a US citizen? Then she can come & go as she pleases...

    This. I don't understand why the friend thought that just "switching" from one petitioner to another is OK. The whole purpose of the removal of conditions is that it HAS to be done...

    Their fathers could be cousins with the same last name....

    It's not about the meeting requirement, if that wasn't fulfilled then the petition would have been denied by USCIS.

    I'm with everyone here, straighten out the exact way they're relatives. Cousins share grandparents while second cousins only share great-grandparents.

    I wish you good luck but it DEFINITELY does NOT sound fine to me. (I'm not a lawyer, though.)
  13. EM_Vandaveer
    You were supposed to switch your I-751 to a divorce waiver at the time, if a lawyer really told you to do nothing and just wait and see if a joint I-751 gets approved AFTER a divorce then that lawyer gave you seriously wrong advice.... I don't think your case is DIY anymore. You need a GOOD lawyer and possibly you need to remain a LPR indefinitely and never open the Pandora's box of a naturalization application.

    Literally Google it...

    No. Nor there is an absolute right to have your spouse immigrate. Legally...

    I understand the child isn't biologically yours but if your wife is raising the child and you wish to live with her, won't you raise the child as well? How is that so different from having a child (genetics aside)? Not to mention, the problem here is that she had a child "the old fashioned way" which really puts your relationship in a weird light. If the only problem is that you can't have a child then why not use a sperm donor and do IUI or IVF? It'd be really hard to convince USCIS that this is a bona fide marriage. USCIS (belonging to the Department of Homeland Security), however has nothing to do with issuing passports (Department of State does that).

    This is what I would do since it's free. Chances are, that first I-765 will get lost in the void...

    The possible wrench here is the fact that he's your wife's nephew and his biological mother is alive. The adoption can be a 100% legal and above board. Deriving any immigration benefit from it, including possible US citizenship is a completely different question. It is not guaranteed at all.
  19. EM_Vandaveer
    That's NOT a thing (having to take fingerprints after entering on an immigrant visa in order to get a physical GC). Where did you get the idea from?
  20. EM_Vandaveer
    No, there is no requirement to not have a mental illness. It's very common to have depression. In no way does this mean your relative is ineligible for naturalization.... Where does that idea even come from?
  21. EM_Vandaveer
    More like 15+ years. You can file an I-130 & she should be able to visit. AOS is not part of her process, though.
  22. EM_Vandaveer
    yes. Alternatively, go back to finish the NVC process & consular processing.
  23. EM_Vandaveer
    I-824 to route back the I-130 from NVC. Expensive and takes time.

    Thank you so much, I have learned something new today!
