  1. Research health insurance options and cost in your state. This may get really expensive and should be taken into consideration when sponsoring elderly parents.
  2. US Citizen died recently and his wife resides abroad. What is the process to apply for LPR status from abroad? She does not have a pending or approved I-130. Everything I read on USCIS website refers to I-360 and I-485 processing inside the US. There is very little info about Consular processing. Thank you!
  3. Was your mom's case a standard sponsorship or did she require a waiver as well? If she didn't need a waiver, those cases are super easy to complete DIY as opposed to waiver process.
  4. Can you live in Nigeria for a little while? Can you meet in the third country and spend vacation together to get the feel for the relationship?
  5. Does she have a consular report of birth abroad? CRBA
  6. I feel bad for the child. Not only he/she is disabled but also the father lives abroad and parents do not get along. Sooner or later your friend will have to pay some child support. I am in favor of obtaining US Citizenship for the child. If mom dies prematurely, then the child's legal guardian will be the father in the US.
  7. How did you get a state ID/DL without proof of address? It is very strange for an adult not to have at least some bills in their name. Can your name be added to utilities along with your husband?
  8. If you file taxes, it shouldn't be a problem.
  9. SD 3 needs a come to Jesus moment. If she is not interested is living in the US I wouldn't waste any more money or time if I were you.
  10. I think having your MIL visit on a B2 Visa is an excellent idea. She will have a taste of life in the US. Honestly, I have seen so many cases where the US citizen child sponsors a in elderly parent without fully considering if the parent truly wants to live here. It is hard for an older person to adjust to a new life. No extended family or friends. Additionally, you should research cost of healthcare in your state for an elderly LPR. This may also affect your decision. Good luck!
  11. Be sure to research cost of healthcare for an elderly LPR. This may affect your decision to have her stay in US.
  12. Chances are she will be allowed to enter, because she previously used the visa correctly and left when required. US boyfriend may be a bit of an issue, but she must be honest nonetheless.
  13. Apply for ITIN in the meantime. Tax payer ID will help you to get added to bank account and utilities.
  14. We got married in Hawaii, just the two of us. It was perfect!
  15. Sorry, I had to delete my incorrect response.
  16. This looks like abusive relationship to me. He must enjoy having a total control over her life. Wawa comes to mind.
  17. First obvious choice would be public schools in your district. If these are not satisfactory, then look at private or Catholic schools in your area. Simple Google search would give you answers. Type in name of your town and add board of education in your search. For public schools you can usually enroll kids at anytime. You will need proof of identity and address. Website for the district will list all required documents.
  18. In the meantime research income requirements for affidavit of support. Try to get a good paying job or find additional person who is willing to sign affidavit of support.
  19. I only ever had two cards. First one and another without the annotation. I can't fathom how someone can loose 10 cards.
  20. I didn't petition my sister and have no plans to. Thanks for responding!
  21. Hello! My sister is planning to visit me in US this Summer. She was denied B2 Visa more than 20 years ago and never tried again. Our country is now eligible for VWP and she will have to apply for ESTA this time. How is the prior B2 denial affecting the chances of ESTA approval? My sister traveled internationaly since then to several European countries without issues. Thanks!
  22. Take healthcare costs into consideration when bringing an elderly parent.
  23. I would first present your LPR card at the DMV office. If asked for more documentation, only then I would offer the notice of action for N400 and I751. You don't want to confuse the DMV clerk with additional documents.
  24. If you are confident that documents provided were sufficient, try to contact the office if DMV commissioner in your state. Your case would be reviewed on a higher level by policy specialists.
