Log into your account on USCIS and go to your N-400 application and you can reprint the forms and complete them again.

What does your credit score have to do with your Adjustment of Status? Who is asking for a credit score? If you do not have a SS number, you will not have a credit score. So if you're being asked for a credit score simply explain you do not have a social security number.

You should let them know that is the only birth certificate. In most countries when a child is adopted the original birth certificate is sealed so it's not like you can just get it. How did NVC know he was adopted? When completing the forms you should have put his mother's name (grandmother) not his biological mother. If you entered his biological mother's name instead of his adopted mother that's where you will run into unnecessary problems. This is something you need to fix with NVC not the Registrar's Office.

The Registrar General is correct. His adoption certificate is his new birth certificate. The same rules applies if he was adopted in the US. Your adoption certificate is just the same as your birth certificate with the updated parents name, nothing else changes on it. You need to send his adoption/birth certificate. I think because you know he's adopted you are thinking it's two separate document but it's the same document. He being adopted is irrelevant since it's you filing for him and not his Mom/grandmother.

Your uncle's passport is not a requirement to be a sponsor. The only passport that should be submitted is your spouse to stamp for the visa if he's approved. Where did you read to submit a sponsor passport?

Depending on where you marry, you may be required to both have blood tests.  I had to do this in Massachusetts for my first marriage, but not in North Carolina for my second marriage.    You need to check on the requirements for the marriage license for the place you are marrying.

 

 

I know the post is about California but I need to clarify that blood test is NOT a requirement to marry in Massachusetts for others reading that may be planning to marry in Mass. I married in Boston and my husband came in from the UK, applied for the marriage license same day he arrived, waited three day period and got married at City Hall. I am not sure how long ago you got married in MA but here are the current requirements:

• Fill out a Notice of Intention of Marriage Form — You and your future spouse will need to go in person to your city or town clerk to fill out this form. You’ll need to provide:
  • Proof of your age, such as a birth certificate or passport
  • Your Social Security number (if you do not have a Social Security number, you have to write down why — for example, it was never issued or you are not a resident)
  • Payment for fees, which vary by town
  • The name you’ll use after the wedding if you’ve decided to change it
• Pick up Your Marriage License — There is a required 3-day waiting period before you can pick up your marriage license. In some cases, you can apply for a marriage without delay at the probate or district court in the town where you submitted your notice to waive this period. The license is valid for 60 days. If you’re not married within 60 days of the date the license was granted, you’ll need to apply for it again.
• Give Your License to the Person Conducting the Ceremony — After you’re married, your officiant must sign and return the license to the city or town clerk who issued it before the 60-day time period is up.

 The I-130 form is very straight forward to complete and submit to the London embassy. You shouldn't really need a lawyer unless there's something in your husband's pass that needs sorting out. If not, complete the forms yourself. I did mine through London embassy and it was very easy. 

You have yet to answer why your son is unable to visit and go fishing with you? Is he your biological son? Are you aware of the process to get him a US passport if he's your biological son and he would be free to visit or come and live in the future? Your wife not be able to get a visa should not have any bearing on your son getting a visa if he's not already a US citizen. Let us know. 

It will be mailed to you. You will be emailed instructions to sign up for home delivery (for an extra charge) or pick up at one of DX locations (free). If you opt for home delivery I think we paid 18 pounds versus going to pick it up at the DX pickup location. You will have to sign up and print out the page before you attend the interview and they will ask for the print out the day of the interview. Do not try to sign up before you receive the email instructions to do so.  

My husband is also British and I did not submit not one letter or submitted not one photograph. I submitted bare minimum since we are newly wed and he got his visa two months ago. They are not going to read 15+ letters, they don't have time for that. Send what you have, marriage certificate, airline tickets, passport stamp.

I had 3 copies. Of translation and original certificate. I have used them all. We have more than a couple more copies, HE has them. In Nepal. We assumed I wouldn't need any more after I did my part of the job in sending them to the NVC. And yes, I have to be the one to send his packets because Nepal's mailing system is prone to so many errors and mistakes. And yes, I get it. Don't assume anything.

Have him scan the documents and email them to you including the police certificate.  If he doesn't have a scanner have him find a shop or someone he knows and pay to email to you, much quicker than mailing. NVC does not need originals.  Originals are needed for the embassy interview. It is ALWAYS good to keep copies of all documents sent to USCIS and NVC.
