    This part of the discussion is not applicable to the OP's question and does not fit the purpose of this forum. If you have nothing to add that's helpful, I suggest you refuse from instigating strife.

    First, determine if your son is entitled to US Citizenship at birth. If you are a lifelong US Citizen, just assume he is. What you do is apply for his Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and his US passport. You've been given a link to the information. Here's the specific link for the US Embassy in Dominican Republic. https://do.usembassy.gov/consular-report-of-birth-abroad-ecrba/ Now....get busy reading and following instructions.

    Not received, probably just means they haven't opened the package yet. When they do, they will create a case and email you. They don't have an immediate log of what they have "received". Think of it like they have cartons of envelopes sitting in a warehouse unopened. They don't know whose cases are in those cartons until the do something with them.

    The course of action is to respond to the RFE with as plenty of relevant relationship evidence, and as you go forward, stop "being given to believe". Instead, believe and follow the actual instructions. Each form has them. Become an A-Student of both the forms AND their instructions before proceeding. Are you the petitioner or the foreign spouse? The RFE would have been sent to the petitioner and it is THEIR responsibility to respond.

    Your house is not going to help much until it is sold. You can combine assets, but only the liquid ones will be counted. You need a minimum of 3 times the income requirement in "liquid" assets.

    No need to bring the original. If he used a copy of it when submitting the I-130, they have an image of it in their file already. If it's not available, so be it. If he can scan and email it to you to print in time, that will do also.

    Yes. Expect to hear from NVC in a month normally, but with holidays, maybe a little longer. Nothing you can do. Relax and wait or don't relax, but you WILL "wait".

    The files are all transferred electronically, and have been for quite some time.

    That would have your daughter following you 18 to 24 months later. Your spouse can file both petitions. Spouse and step daughter are both considered her immediate relatives. There is no need to wait for YOU to petition your daughter. My recommendation is to file both petitions now. If you decide later, you want the daughter to follow more than six months behind you, then ask that the daughter's interview be scheduled later than yours. NVC will follow those instructions, and they you'll have the flexibility you need. That part is handled about a year after petition filing. Seems this was already discussed in a topic started by the US Citizen spouse earlier this week.

    This answer incorrectly presumes the petitioner's current physical address, is where the green card will be sent. The green card will be sent to the US Address the foreign spouse indicates on the DS 260, or updates as late as US arrival. It could be the same as one of the addresses on the petitioner's I-864, but that is neither a requirement or a "should".
  11. pushbrk
    If you have a mailing address in the USA, use it. Your physical address is what it is, but since you live abroad, you are also going to need to provide evidence of your intent to re-establish domicile in the USA. Do state your domicile as USA though. That's a separate question. Since nothing is going to be mailed abroad, a US address for mailing is best. Yes, become an A-Student of the excellent I-864 instructions.

    Great. Then they need plenty of evidence. I hope they spent lots of time together.
  13. pushbrk
    You're doing the right thing. His DS260 asked about any arrests. He answered honestly and is providing the needed record. There will be questions about this and possible complications, but I predict eventual success, if this is the full story.
  14. pushbrk
    Upload. Your offer letter is helpful, so good to upload in support of your affidavit.
  15. pushbrk
    So, you did not bother to follow the instructions and send any evidence of bona fide relationship, OR the passport photos of the petitioner. Since the beneficiary is outside the USA, the are not required for them, but you can send anyway. Most important is evidence of time spent together in person. Primary evidence of visits in the entry and exit stamps in the traveler's passport. Secondary evidence is photos together, and examples of how and how frequently you communicate. Don't send any "affidavits". WHICH COUNTRY? It matters.
  16. pushbrk
    AGI is irrelevant. While it is sometimes the same number, the "total income" is what's relevant. Definitely upload the offer letter, but how is it you intend to qualify as sponsor. An offer letter is not enough.
  17. pushbrk
    If USCIS sent an RFE, you are not at the NVC stage. Please remove any personal information and post the exact wording of the RFE. Also share the country.

    More likely what I wrote is closer to the truth for last year and now. I suppose it's possible they brought in extra staff temporarily, but I doubt it.
  19. pushbrk
    I'm not sure of the current timelines, but why do you think they are having mass expedites in January? To be clear, no Consulate has time for mass expedites. They only have so much staff and so much time for interviews. What IS true is they do fewer interviews in December because of both the Philippine and American holidays. They are closed for both, and many of the American staff in nearly all Consulates take time off around the holidays, like normal people.
  20. pushbrk
    Unless you want them coming 18 to 24 months apart, petition both at the same time, so they come together. There's nothing FAST about the process. It takes 18 to 24 month now.
  21. pushbrk
    Actually, you have to ask NVC. NVC will require documentation that you are either a citizen or legal resident of Saudi currently. Without that, there is no opportunity to "ask Saudi".
  22. pushbrk
    Send what you suggested. No telling whether anything carried in will actually be asked for. The issue is to be prepared for anything.
  23. pushbrk
    True but a separate issue. It is my understanding the criminal record is for a step child though.
  24. pushbrk
    In a Visa case no USCIS workers are involved. NVC and the Consulates are Dept. of State, not Homeland Security.
  25. pushbrk
    Yes. "Looking online" is not the same as becoming an A-Student of the I-864 instructions. It's also not the same as getting correct advice here, from "me". However, I and other members here are not a substitute for the instructions. If you don't study them, you won't know what you don't know, so won't know what to ask. Follow my advice and the form instructions and you'll do ok.
