  1. No, you can’t just “leave something out” because you don’t have a document, apart from the fact that you are signing that the document is truthful, hiding a name could be seen as material misrepresentation and lead to a ban. Curious though how between a birth certificate and marriage certificate, both required to complete the immigration process, there won’t be any document showing other maiden name?
  2. But that is extremely rare for F3 and F4 petitions precisely because almost no one can adjust from them. I visited the US regularly while my F3 petition was in progress and never once got a question about it from CBP.
  3. Which is why it’s important to file asap and get the age locked in under 21.
  4. Well - he can adjust but only when he gets a visa number available AND if he is and always has been in legal status in the US. So it’s theoretically possible but he’d need to find another legal status (work visa as example) to allow him to stay here for the next 15-20 years before he can get his green card. If he ever overstays or violates status in any way he is ineligible to adjust status based on F4. So technically correcting you but same bottom line, he needs to go home and wait
  5. Because F2A is current, as someone already noted, it is just the processing time at uscis to wait on before a visa number is available. I’ve seen some reports of 6-9 months for F2A recently which is not too bad. Your bigger issue is likely to be the wait for an interview, assuming there is still such a big backlog at CDJ. But once the petition is approved, CSPA locks her age so all she needs to do from that stage is stay unmarried, and wait.
  6. Agree lpr spouse petitioning for stepdaughter seems the way to go to get both of them in at same time
  7. In 2004 the visa applications were paper. The parents would have had to physically sign them. “Send your passports for issuance”? Sounds good!
  8. You won’t get approved without a required PCC. If everything else looks good, they will place you on administrative processing (221g temporary refusal) until you can get the police certificate to them.
  9. Are you renting this residential purchase, that you purchased 5 years ago, to anyone at the moment? Who lives there if not? If it’s not yet available for your/his exclusive use , especially if it’s being rented out, then its just an investment property, not proof of intent to live there. Agree the chances/proof will be much better once he’s actually moved and living there.
  10. I know a couple of people (personally) who did this due to covid related lockdowns and being unable to get back to the US. They did not submit any type of letter or anything like that with their application (filed online), but made their case at interview. They explained carefully their absence, and took proof that they maintained ties - homeownership, job, bank account, obviously tax filing etc. Both were approved. It’s not quite the same as a lockdown situation, but I think your husband probably has a persuasive case to present as long as he can show he maintained normal ties to the US. He should also take as much evidence of your accident, etc to show why he had to stay out. Good luck.
  11. Some others do actually allow parents. Don’t know of any others that allow siblings through.
  12. That doesn’t tie up with what OP said. Why do you think the father lied about his travel history when all he said was the parents didn’t apply for a US visa?
  13. The worst case scenario probably is they think they have something in an old visa application that contains material misrepresentation. best case is that they decide it wasn’t them after all. Tbh it’s a little concerning they gave your parents their passports back. This usually means they think it’s going to take a while to do the further examination they need. The consulates usually keep the passports when they think it’s something that can be sorted out quickly.
  14. Well they interviewed in Abu Dhabi so presumably still in Middle East never heard from of US giving passports back to check on other country visas. Pretty sure the CO meant US visas.
  15. Visa applications would have birthdates etc. I don’t think this is a name confusion issue, especially if it applies to both of them. Wonder if they started an application but never went to interview, or something. Back in those days it would have been paper forms submitted.
  16. DV visa is a great suggestion, but chances are she will never get selected, so it’s never a Plan A or even B
  17. Sisters already 19 and OP not yet a citizen. It’s not going to happen before sister turns 21.
  18. Is that a suggestion for the sister or asking about OP’s timeline? He/she has applied n400 so I guess s/he’s looking ahead at options
  19. Sibling visa is the slowest of all of them. Literally any other immigrant visa is faster. Is she studying ? If she is doing an in- demand job - I know at 19 she won’t be yet but maybe she is studying for one - she may be able to get an employment visa sponsored. (Nursing is a popular one for a direct immigrant visa as an example.) Under 21 is only an advantage for children of the petitioner.
  20. See section H near the end here https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h-chapter-4
  21. Unless you have one of the reasons that qualifies as an emergency (usually life or death or urgent medical care), no. But do keep checking the calendar. From their website Nonimmigrant Visa (NIV) applications in all visa classes are processed. Routine interview appointments in many NIV categories have been made available several years into the future to address high demand. The consular section will open additional appointments in the coming weeks and months according to estimated staffing and capacity. We encourage applicants to monitor our calendar at USTravelDocs.com/gh for newly added appointments and earlier appointment dates.
  22. Omg ok LOL whatever. OP has already contacted senator anyway who many of us have found useful at pushing uscis along when they seem to get stuck without progressing. Your great knowledge of systems and who should have done what when (none of which has happened in a way to resolve this in the year or more it’s been an issue) doesn’t change that simple, empirical fact. bottom line - can it hurt? No can it help? Yes. So why not try?
