For clarity, one cannot legally come to " live with my Mom who was an lpr" via visitor's visa. However, that is moot at this point. I strongly suggest you and spouse immediately file a concurrent I-130/I-485.

It is allowed to annotate B2 visas. I don't think it is a restriction...It is just an annotation specifying exactly what the applicant stated intent is. 9 FAM 402.2-6(B) (U) Annotations on Nonimmigrant Visas (CT:VISA-1826; 09-06-2023) (U) Annotations on NIVs regarding the purpose and duration of stay are encouraged when the visas are limited and when the use of such notations would be helpful to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspectors or other consular officers when processing future visa applications. Positive notations such as "VISIT UNCLE SAN FRANCISCO, THREE WEEKS" are helpful and are authorized. However, endorsements of a negative type such as "NO ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS OR EXTENSION OF STAY RECOMMENDED" or any other notation which tends to tell DHS what to do or which questions the applicant's veracity are not allowed.

***Topic moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, or Tourist Visas*** I would start the process ASAP. Laws for immediate relatives of US citizens and policies can change at any time. Just be prepared to not work or leave the US for several months.

I would file 2024 taxes, then email your spouse a copy of the complete 1040 package and supporting documents such as W-2s and 1099s. That could prevent a delay in your case.

Yes. An I-864 is not what is commonly called a "civil document".

It's actually pretty straight forward. If you ever submitted a DS-260, the answer is "Yes". Otherwise, the answer is "no".

The fact that they kept his passport is a very good sign. The real indication that a visa is approved is when the status changes to "issued". Keep in mind that ALL visas go through some form of administrative processing after the interview. Generally, the next step is to see "issued" status, then delivery of the passport with visa inside. Then, you can pay the $235 Green card fee.

Some are speculators who use scare tactics to generate revenue. Random Speculating attorney: "Trump is going to require ALL cases to undergo intense interviews. You need to hire me or you are likely facing a denial"

All these attorneys are speculating.

Not exactly true. My neighbor had both her I-130 and I-485 approved yesterday with no interview. Do you have a source reference to that new policy?

Examples of original documents would be documents from the issuing authority with wet signatures and/or raised seals for which authenticity can be verified. A scanned copy cannot be authenticated.

There is no evidence of that. I'm sure you are aware that the estimated times are notoriously inaccurate and change frequently. The same thing happened to my wife's case. It jumped from 3 months to 9 months on the day they scheduled the interview.
