Correct. And if that stamp isn't there find the closest CBP office and get it corrected. My wife and step daughter had the date August 39 stamped in there's. We got that corrected.

No, it can't. There can only be one joint sponsor.

There is no substitute, for becoming an A-Student of the actual instructions. Videos certainly are not a substitute. You must verify with the actual instructions. That's why they have instructions.

Being kind here, but you are asking the wrong question. What you want to know is in the instructions, but also clear from the context. If "you" the US Citizen are filing this form as the petitioner, you do not now and never will have any "immigrant status" in the USA. Become an A-Student of the step by step instructions for the form. Not doing that is why both of you above, are in this mess right now.

A "Green Card" signifies Lawful Permanent Resident Status. Depending on circumstances and country, your wife may be able to secure a visitor visa. Your profile says Spain, so she can visit using the Visa Waiver Program, that allows 90 day visits. If she has no plan to leave her job and live in the USA, I'm sure even 90 days is longer than she would ever visit.

Any "mass expedite" would mean they are adding or shifting staff temporarily to clear some of the backlog. There would be no pattern. Only qualified Consular Officers can conduct visa interviews.

If any, means "if any". Submission grants no A-number. Just enter zeros. Same for social security number if none.

Many have made this same mistake, by failing to become A-Students of the form instructions and the form itself. Yes, the consequences of this particular mistake are severe. But, you now have plenty of time to do your homework on the most complicated form in the process, the I-864.

Current income is king, not last year or any year's tax return, unless "self employed". If you take a job today paying 1k a week, your current income is now 52k. That's how it works. Take a look at the I-864 and you'll see there's a separate place to indicate you current income. It does not have to be a full year.

Is your husband a US Citizen? Was he already a US Citizen when the child was born? Has the mother given permission for the child to live in the USA? Please answer those three questions first, so our assistance can be in the correct context.

Above is the applicable guide that DOES tell you which forms to file. Visas are for entering countries. He's already here. He cannot get a US visa of any kind from within the USA. He will be adjusting status from his current visa. Follow that guide. If you don't think you understand, or can follow those instructions, hire professional help.

That would be useful.

It's certainly ok. But.....it's much better to use real evidence. Affidavits from third parties make you look desperate, or at best are simply useless.

Completely changes your story. Yes, the refugee travel document will be sufficient.

In the circumstance you describe, you would not be seeking any visa. Visas are affixed to passports and used to enter countries. Since you are already in the USA and qualified to apply for Lawful Permanent Resident Status, you would wait for that to be processed. Your other option is to follow the process of adjusting to LPR status based on your marriage to a US Citizen. Neither of those requires a passport because no visa is involved. Once you have LPR status, it doesn't really matter which way you legally obtained it. Either what you are already doing or the based on marriage route has the same result.

That doesn't matter. Divorces occur where the person filing lives at the time. The issue is documenting the divorce.

What is required is a photocopy (scan, email, and print is same) of a certified copy of the divorce decree, with certified English translation. USCIS does not care why you don't have it. You will need to obtain a new one before the RFE deadline or the petition will be denied, and you get to start over. Your CENOMAR will be needed but only AFTER the I-130 petition is approved. Documents showing that the Philippines PSA recognizes the divorce, do not meet the requirement.

So, informed delivery is something you sign up for in advance, and THEN it's pro-active. Is there any pro-active notification from the USCIS online account, or would you need to check it every day to know?

It shows it. Which "it" shows the tracking number? Is there a notification of some kind, you only see it if and when you login?

I mean how doe USPS Informed delivery work. Is it a tracking number provided by USCIS. Do you get an email, text, from whom?

Maybe, but that covers only the last 2 to 4 days. Nothing to track until then. How did you receive tracking information?

Your time living together would trump any of the bona fide relationship or fraud concerns. Still better, if possible, to find a sponsor with a more plausible reason to act as sponsor.

While it is technically allowed, for any US Citizen or Green Card holder actually living in the USA, to act as joint sponsor, the Consular Officer at interview (not NVC) will consider the totality of circumstances in making the public charge portion of their decision. The petitioner's ex husband acting as joint sponsor would raise a number of questions BEYOND the public charge issue. My first thought, and the Consular Officer's as well, would be to wonder WHY the ex husband is willing to do this. Put that together with say, a recent divorce and other factors, raises the question of whether the petitioner's current marriage is all about helping the foreigner get to the USA, instead of being bona fide. The second big issue it raises, would be whether the ex husband joint sponsor has any motivation to actually provide any support. Joint sponsors who are blood relatives or lifelong friends of the petitioner, are a much better choice. Don't open a can of worms. Additionally, it is typical for petitioners to have a plan for sponsorship, BEFORE they marry a foreigner they want to bring to the USA. A Consular Officer will consider she had a plan to begin with, whether she did or not. If this was the plan to begin with, it makes it look exactly like a fraud case with all three of you involved in the fraud. I don't know what the truth is. I know what a Consular Officer will be thinking the truth MIGHT be.

You cannot track the card. It's sent by first class mail only. Your visa with entry stamp serves as a temporary green card for up to a year. Most cards come within 4 to 6 weeks, but some take longer. It is what it is.

So, when you are able to register, choose a delivery location you're comfortable with. It can be at the courier company's office. Whether you can pick it up is another question. Maybe somebody with direct experience with immigrant visas in Bogota, will come along and know. Otherwise, if it IS possible, then request it at the interview.
