  1. You already know she's allowed to stay for six months. You asked if she can leave and come back. Answer to that is yes. She can enter multiple times. There's no limit. However while she can stay six month on one visit, she cannot stay six months, leave for a day, week, or month and come back for another six months. She must be outside the USA more than in, even if only a day more. This is measured during any 12 month period. She has a visitor privilege. Many Canadian Snowbirds actually live in their own homes in the USA six months out of the year, but they go leave for the other six months.
  2. Correct. In addition, if your spouse is overseas, and will apply for a visa, you never file the I-485.
  3. The above is correct, but depending on location, there may be more pages. Some offices include and actual copy of the passport style book, and some don't.
  4. Probably, but if neither are Chinese, they probably don't have one. The proper Police Report is obtained first, then taken to the Notarial Office (Gong Zheng Chu) for a Notarial Translation. It comes in a booklet form, but on A4 shiny white paper. In which country was the interview conducted?
  5. NVC.....WILL assign it to Taiwan, no matter where you said you wanted it, but you can request that it be changed to HCMC.
  6. And....Opinions vary. An outlier does not change mine.
  7. N600 is not "Naturalization". N400 is. It's well established that when children born to US Citizens abroad who do not qualify for CRBA, they are immediately Citizens when they enter the USA into the custody of the USC parent, with IR2 visas.
  8. They came with IR2 visas, meaning they became citizens upon entry. Apply for their passports. N600 for a certificate of citizenship is a useless piece of paper. They are already US Citizens.
  9. N600 is superfluous if already a citizen. All they will ever need is US passports.
  10. Does this lawyer understand that an immigrant visa to the USA for a Peruvian child, means it is not the other parent's choice whether the child ever leaves the USA. The other parent may never see this child again, once they are gone. You need to satisfy both US Immigration requirements, AND international child trafficking laws, with regard to "permission". If you're sure, your plan will do both, carry on.
  11. Interpret the questions literally and answer accurately. A Physical address is where you live. A mailing address is where you receive mail. Often they are the same but not always. Clearly, he does not currently live in Vietnam.
  12. From enough to pay incidental expenses between arrival and seeing you, up to whatever amount. Any amount over 10 thousand USD must be declared and explained.
  13. Spell it correctly at the NVC stage. Not an issue now, but learn from the mistake.
  14. The box to tick is on the DS260 at the NVC stage.
  15. Yes. Police reports are accepted up to two years from issue.
  16. And if that is the case, you simply apply for their passports.
  17. No harm in typing "Nickname XXXyyy..." but not really necessary either. His social media accounts will be asked about on the actual visa application at the NVC stage. Since I'm called by my middle name, I entered "Goes by Middle LAST" on my form. I thought it was a good idea then. Certainly no harm in it.
  18. The question is about visiting TO the USA, not other countries or visiting in general.
  19. They are additional documentation, not required for all I-130 filings, but definitely ALL filings for spouse. Be sure to include cover to cover of the Gong Zheng Chu documents.
  20. What to upload is made clear in the I-130 instructions you can download separately. Stick with official instructions. Your spouse's Notarial Birth Certificate will be needed at the next stage. Notarial Divorce decrees for spouse and certified copies of divorce decrees for petitioner are required with the petition. Of course, the form itself asks about the former spouse's name and date of divorce for both of you.
  21. Don't know why you would need a new account.
  22. Your wife can come without the kids and they can follow, or you can contact the Consulate to delay your wife's interview until the children's cases catch up. Best time to have done this was while your wife's case was still at NVC. Too late for that.
  23. Your details and the details of my answer are important in this context. If she has a visa that allows her to live and work in Singapore, then that is her country of residence. What's her status in Singapore? All the details matter. Is she working "OFW" (Ask her) on a "contract" or is she just a regular employee.
