Is anyone else having issues with https://ceac.state.gov/IV/  ?

Happening for 2 weeks now with me. Tried 4 different browsers

No. There is no AOS. File the I-130 and once that's approved, it goes to the NVC where you submit more documents and then off to the Embassy/Consulate. Once the child is granted a visa, she/he will enter the US as Permanent Resident

Got it. Thank you for the clarification

One more question.

With me as a U.S. Citizen filing for stepchild, do I file I-130 and AOS at same time?

Trying to figure out the specific steps

It will still take about a year for the child to get here.

So when speaking of Visa bulletin category, me filing for step-child as a U.S. Citizen, category F1 or F2A? (may be wrong on that, but which one is the question)

Sadly many people are not conversant with the VJ ToS and do as your wife's friends mentioned.

 

Does the child have a Visitor Visa? 

Yes, Tourist Visa and has been here several times. But now we want her to be here permanent since the ex is allowing it. He screwed us up by letting the year pass after K1 approval, so now it's like we are starting from scratch

And in doing this as a U.S. citizen, does this avoid the Visa backlog waiting that would occur if my LPR wife filed the application?

I applied for K1 Fiance visa, approved and she entered the U.S. Dec 2016, married Feb 2017. AOS Nov 2017.

Included on the application was her now 11 year old daughter. The ex-husband refused to sign permission for her to come to the U.S. with my wife.

It is now over 2 years later, ex-husband has decided he will sign permission for daughter to come live in the U.S. with my wife.

She is being told by "friends" that they brought their children here on tourist visa and applied for Adjustment of Status and eventually got the Green Card.

I am telling my wife that she must file an I-130, wait for a Visa number, then apply for AOS.

Also, over-stay of a visa can result in 3-10 year ban of re-entry depending on how severe.

Am I wrong? Is there something I am missing?

Thank you for all the responses. We are not sure what to do yet but sure gave us some ideas and options. I know all of you know how this feels to be so happy that your journey is coming to an end and then BAM!!!! it all goes to hell...............

As i said. Spite..... she will be happy and that's the opposite of what he wants. He doesn't visit or use his visitation. Barely see's the child at all.

Our K1 has been approved, we are at the point of preparing to schedule the interview.

Ex-husband doesn't give a , just doing this for spite. He has known the plans and now says "I will not sign that f'ing paper" for child to come.....

Any recommendations ??? Anyone else had this issue???
