    I am a US CITIZEN. I adopted my stepson who has been residing with me and his mother, my wife, in the USA since September 2020 on a green card. Now that I have legally adopted him and my name is on his birth certificate what do I need to do to get him US CITIZENSHIP?

    You’re in a gray area of “legal custody” and it is unclear when that clock starts for you.

     

    My call:  September, 2022 or two years after the adoption was finalized.  Citizenship is automatic.

     

    Had the adoption been finalized overseas I believe citizenship would be conferred on entry

    She’s never failed an online citizenship test and can win arguments in 3 languages so I guess we’re good to go

    I am hoping it is like than and they don't make me submit an N-600 which is $1170 which unfortunately is a lot of money for me right now.

    LOL they can’t “make” you do a thing. You’re on a completely different playing field.  Get a passport.   Your cost is the same as my cost.  Welcome to ‘Merica 👍

    Hello,

     

    I had my citizenship interview on June 20th 2021 a year after applying for N-400 under the 5 year permanent residence rule.

     

    I passed the test everything good, the officer told me I passed but I could not be granted citizenship because I was already one.

     

    My dad had become US citizen before I turned 18. She then requested me to submit evidence of my dad's birth certificate.

     

    What is going to happen? Will I just be denied the N-400?

    If I'm already a citizen why ask for more proof and what should I do.

     

    I want to be done with my naturalization papers soon so that I can petition for my fiance in the near future.

     

    Thank you.


    You were done when your father was naturalized.  There is nothing to deny.  As a USC you are fully within your rights to remind them that they have the dang BC and can look it up themselves.  Immigration doesn’t have jurisdiction over you anymore once they verify citizenship. It appears the IO did so.
     

    You:  need a passport.  This is a good site.

    See the part about “how do I file for a passport” and “how does age affect that”

    He really wasn't :( 28 years in the business and some immigration law changes apparently, but these days I'm wondering how the heck he managed it. Thank you so much, I know that was a long read. Really appreciate your help.

    POE intent was never an issue on your case.  

    The errors may or may not become an issue.  This is dependent on whether any material information is inaccurate on the submitted applications.

     

    As noted being added to health insurance does not require a SS number.  


    Immigration law changes?  pffft.  We been filing stuff from being in and out of the country for 14 years.  This guy is a hack.  An idiot can fill these forms out.

     

    Earlier advice was solid.  Form errors can be fixed at interview.  You’re “under oath” in an interview and one by one you need to

    plan to fix any error you have found.  All of them.

     

    Stuff they did to us:  Asked for our keys and compared our house (apartment) keys

    Asked for our credit cards and compared the matching numbers.  Made copies of them.

     

    You’re up for a 10-yr not a conditional card.  Hopefully your lawyer advised you to provide a full set of evidence of time together, visits, entries/exits, going back to the marriage date.  It doesnt sound like you know exactly what he sent and it will be critical to find out before you go in.  
     

    Their questions come from the documents that he sent or didnt send and your issues come from what is missing in the instructions.

     

    Read the instructions as if you are preparing to file. Memorize what you sent and sort it in this order:
     

    They verify -

     

    His ID

    His qualification to file - what is his legal status and the legal validity of the marriage (citizenship, termination of previous marriages, marriage cert)

    His background - not in the package and not an issue

     

    His ability to support you - the affidavit - pretty much stand alone

     

    Your ID

    Your qualification as a beneficiary - legal status, validity of the marriage (marriage cert, termination of previous marriages)

    Your background - for anything that makes you ineligible (criminal)

    Your health - for anything that makes you ineligible (civil surgeon)


    Most of that?  Is verified before you walk in the door.

     

    Then they move to “valid marriage” to rule out “marriage for immigration benefit”  

     

    That part?  Is where the interview gets fun.  the bank accounts, the car insurance, the matching address, the shared credit, the beneficiary info, or for couples who live apart waiting the proof of ongoing communication and time spent together.  Some of the questions get really personal and occasionally the separate you just for fun to see if your answers match.

     

    So figure out first what they have, sort it, and see if there is anything at all you or he may not have clarified or may be able to add to.

    Even though you used a lawyer, read them anyway.  That list above was dashed off from memory LOL


    Good luck and best to you and your family

    Looks like those masks are really doing great things for America.  As shown by Texas democrat leaders.

    Looks like mask rejection is doing great things.  Y’all keep it up 👍  Full support from here.

    @layla - don’t hit the dropdown

    No reason for apologizing for supporting one's spouse.  How was the rally?

    It was great.  Picked up a cyber ninja inflatable #MAGA action figure.

     

    Lazy thing didnt do anything but surf facebook and stuff her face all day so I coughed on her and sent her up to Branson.  
     

    I heard later they made her ruler of trailer parks or something.

    As you said, I’m not following it.  Everyone’s saying that if the votes aren’t in on election night there is cheating.  
     

    So if the votes aren’t in by the following summer?  Wow dude.  That’s way past

    cheating.  That’s a whole new plane of imaginary existence 😂

    Yes, that's what happens.  People who vote get sued.  Urrrrrday....

    Not what I said.  
     

    Said Qpubs who sue people who vote lose when they do it.

    Masks are simply a product of Fauci and the fear-mongering MSM.

     

    The pseudo-vaccines are intended to "help", per se, but also to create new pharma billionaires.  I'll stick with tried and true medicine, thanks.

    This year the goal is to stop the dems in their tracks from forcing their will on others.  Make sure you ignore those fear mongering MSM, commifornia values, and by all means completely cancel vaccinated people by staying as far away from them and their families as possible.  In fact it would be funny to double down and ban vaccinated people from your home and business just like the businesses who forced their customers to muzzle up banned good patriots.  That seems fair.
     

    There is no way to tell yet if they are shedding something or not but everyone’s saying that getting around vaccinated people is causing more and more people to get sick.   Avoid the vaccinated, stick together, and OWN the libs by saying NO to their silly vaccines and rules.

    Do you think providing the return form for 2016 (only) instead of the transcript will give them the legal basis to deny my application. 
     

    FYI… I do have the “Account” Transcript from IRS for 2016 to show I had filed and didn’t owe any taxes (again it’s Account Transcript but not Return Transcript).

    I didnt say return form.  
     

    Return, W2’s, 1099’s, all the attachments

    It’s so hard to get hold of IRS by phone these days! But I called and said they don’t track the faxed or mailed forms, but just have to wait.

    I do of course! But they asked for a “transcript” not the return forms for all of these years. But yes, I do have the return form for 2016 and NOT the transcript (as USCIS requested)!

    Ok

     

    The return plus all the attachments can be added to the pile and bonus if you e-filed and can get the record that the return was submitted

     

    Make that your plan B

    Requiring ID is racist.

    Dont matter in Texas.  You can drive up, show your ID, vote, and the QPublicans still sue to invalidate your vote.  Except when you do that to Pasadena shift operators then Holy Phone Calls Batman.  The suit disappears like an ice cube in a microwave.  Oops

     I'm American, married to a Colombian since 2012. We live in the US. We have a very happy marriage. And I am REALLY stressing out right now.

     

    On June 10 my wife's mom, sister and brother all came to visit, which is a lot for our tiny little house, and a lot for me to deal with. For a couple weeks, okay that would be great, but they are staying two months, which is just absurd to me.  In the past they have never stayed more than 10 days or so. I do like them and want my wife to be happy, but this is VERY difficult for me.

     

    In latin culture it can be normal to have several people packed in a small living area, but for me...the complete lack of privacy and peace and quiet is very hard to deal with. Not to mention how much extra money we are spending. (Plus i'm the only one who drives.) So more or less all of our routines and our life in general is completely upside down right now. Everything from planning meals to going to the grocery store is a major project.

     

    So last night a bomb drops, my wife tells me that her mom and sister keep asking if we can "help them move" here...i guess at some point in the next couple years.  In the past 10 years there's never been ANY talk of them wanting to leave Colombia. Ever.

     

    This would involve them "living with us for a while." Until the sister has a job and apartment. 

    The mom is 60, has zero money, and hasn't worked in years.  I've never understood this, but apparently older people in Colombia just don't work.  The sister currently has a really good job, and lives with and pays for the mother. Her work medical insurance even covers her mother.

     

    I briefly tried to explain how much different,  and more expensive things will be for her in the USA. Like how in the USA a 60 year old woman cannot be on her daughter's work insurance.  And my wife and i are by no means wealthy and basically live paycheck to paycheck.

     

    Also the sister doesn't drive and her English is pretty bad.

     

    For some context, No matter what we do with them...like planning vacations for example, they never think things through, or make good plans.  It's always just a blind leap and hoping they figure it out along the way.

     

    I feel like i could write for hours about all this, but in general it just seems like a terrible idea to me, and i'm terrified about all this.  I feel like they have no comprehension of how long it could take for the sister to find a good job and get on her feet, as well as how much more expensive it will be for her to pay for everything for her mother.  My wife has this idea that they would only need to stay with us for a couple months.  I feel like it could take a year or longer. Who really knows.

     

    I don't even know what i'm thinking.  And it's hard to talk about it with my wife.  I have to choose every word carefully because obviously this is her mom and sister and she loves them.  But i don't think she grasps how this would radically change our life, and i don't think the sister and mom are even remotely thinking about all the details and ramifications.

     

    And for what it's worth, in Colombia they live in a very nice apartment in a beautiful city.  It's not like they're in some terrible situation that they need to escape.  If that were true i would think differently about all this.  But they have a good life down there.

     

    Another important piece in all of this is that the sister has been struggling emotionally for a while. She's been making terrible decisions, she's dated 3 guys who have all had wives or girlfriends, then she gets devastated when they break it off. It's a long story but even my wife admits that everything with her is messy.  I feel like telling her she needs to see a therapist and get some things worked out before making any drastic life altering decisions.

     

    I know this is a huge stressful rant, i'm not even sure if i'm looking for advice or what...but has anyone been in a situation like this???  Does this seem like i'm a  selfish ####### for having these thoughts? What do i do here?  Part of me just wants to ignore it and hope they get back to Colombia and change their minds. I'm just imagining how all these scenarios could play out and it's driving me crazy. 

    You’re just being selfish dude.  You need to step up here 😂

    I was outside US for nearly 6 months and came back recently. I would have to travel in another 2 - 3 months for another couple of months. So, am considering applying for re-entry permit.

    - What are the chance of getting 'Notice of Receipt' within 2 - 3 months?
    - How does USCIS determine to apply previous biometrics to the current application? The latest biometrics taken off me was in 2017.
    - Can we travel outside US with 'Notice of Receipt'?


    Please advise!

    You just need to stay for biometrics

     

    I dont see a need for a travel document here.
