I still say it's country specific. The list from the embassy that the doctor worked off of in Sweden doesn't have the genital check on there.

I think that these days it's more country specific. In Scandinavia we don't have to show our genetalia. We are also excused from the xray if pregnant. Many other countries still put pregnant women through that so a lot of things are very country specific when it comes to immigration

Can you travel to another passport agency in another city?

Yes same day passports applies to new citizens too. Just bring passport pictures and the documents needed. But your first step is to start making phone calls, find a place that does the same day passport...

Is step parent adoption such a lengthy process in your state? It amazes me sometimes how laws and rules can differ from state to state!

To get married on visa waiver is fine. To get married with the intent to adjust status on visa waiver is fraud. Maybe look into moving later, perhaps for Christmas break? If you have all paperwork lined up you might be able to make it for Christmas

I know! I think op came here to get some creative ideas on how to eat the cookie and still have it!

The dude doesn't want to go back! He managed to land a tourist visa and considering where he's from that's pretty huge. Then he came here and tried to stay! If he goes back he'll never get another tourist visa to the US!

Do you have a friend you can introduce her to?

Maybe give them a heads up that it most likely won't happen.

Yesterday we finally got my son's passport! The longest expedite ever lol

Sweden don't really do custody paperwork, unless you have severe issues and have to take it to court. But if you are unmarried the mother automatically get custody in sweden and I was never married. The birth certificate will list both parents but on one line it lists the parent who is the guardian. At first they didn't accept it and wanted a court order or such and I tried to get the tax agency in Sweden to write something or print something else but they refused. According to them that was all that was needed. So going back and forth with the passport people for so long they finally gave in!

No swedish birth certificate can't be amended....well I guess they can if you were to put down father unknown and then you figure out who it is or such. But I've never hear of it.

Hallelujah!!!!!! After 3 months of headbutting the dep.of state finally accepted my son's birth certificate as proof that I have sole custody and he got his US passport!!! They sure make you work for things in this country that's for sure!! It would have totally sucked if they would have denied him! He wouldn't have been able to travel internationally until he would have been old enough to apply on his own! This was a huge sigh of relief! Finally this immigration circus is over for good!

I know. It does take talk that long unfortunately. Just be prepared with whatever they need, because it takes another 30 days to review after they received whatever they asked for. I also did the rfe. In the future, because you will need it, go to the nvc website and check requirements on what to send for each particular things they ask for. Let me know if you need anything else.

What does NVC got to do with this??

3 days. A week. 10 days. A month. Two months. You pick! Hope for the best expect the worst....anything can happen in the immigration circus

Did you double check that they have the right address?

Why were you denied in the first place?

Is your wife a LPR?

How did she get her green card? Depending on how she ended up in the us, you guys might need a lot more evidence..

Really? Well disregard my comment then! Lol

Well I was more asking just to make sure op doesn't think that they actually can combine their incomes to reach the income requirements...

Combining income?

Today I finally got a tracking number for my son's passport! They sure took their sweet time deciding that the papers I sent in was good enough!

Sweet!!!!! The passport people finally came to their senses and accepted the swedish papers I sent in to prove I have sole custody! It sure took them time but today I got a tracking number and the passport is on its way!

If your fiancé have financial issues and lives at his parents and you have a job, why doesn't he move to Italy instead?

It's usually never good when they give the passport back...
