On most government forms NMN is used (means - No Middle Name). For UCIS - who knows.

If you submit your papers with a Cover Letter, you can mention that you have no middle name

and marked NMN, N/A, None or whatever you decide to use. Cover letters are also good to

list all of the attachments you enclosed with you papers.

My wife is an LPR and she file the I-130 for her son about 6 months ago.

We sent the papers with a money order and cetified return receipt. We got the

return receipt back signed. We just realized we never received a Notice of Receipt

and a case number. They are processing March 2006 for these petitions, so we know this

takes a long time.

We wanted to check status from time to time, but cannot without a case

number. Anyone know how long to get back a Notice of Receipt? We filed at

Vermont.

Thanks,

Trying to help out a friend with her I-751 that is about ready to go. 4 questions:

1. She came on a CR1 - DCF Visa. Her daughter came at the same time. However, her daughters passport expired and she obtained a new one. The visa and etc are in the old passport that was kept by the

Ukrainian embassy. We think that was a CR 2 Visa, but not sure. I know K1 and K2, but CR1 and ? Any

know what the child visa for a CR1 visa is?

2. The daughter is now 19 and she does qualify to file with her mom on the 751. Just list her under the list

of children?

3. What docs are needed? Copies of Bith cirtificate, Green Card, and what else?

4. Anything else to add the child on?

Any help on this would be appreciated. She and her husband have everything ready to go, but not

sure how to properly include the daughter.

My wife is a LPR now. So, she can file. Not sure why prove where he is from. He is

here on a Russian Passport and until he can change it he is a Russian Citizen. He has a

Russian birthcertificate and etc. However, being a student, he does have an address in

the US and like most students anywhere, his permanent mailing address is where his

parent lives - in the US.

I have seen many posts here about adult relative son or daughter in foreign country

waiting for the visa number then they go and apply for the visa and come to

us then they can apply for the AOS.

My wife came on a K1. After marriage then she was out of status (in limbo) until we filed the

AOS and then she was in limbo/waiting status until she received aproval. However, she was always

legally here.

I also see students and workers who are here and get married and then immediately file for AOS and do

not need to go home while they await approval. They do the waiting here. That is what I am wondering

about on this. If he is already here why can he not wait for the number here? The main problem would seem to be that he cannot work after the training period. Or is there someway he could.

Anyone file for a relative already here as a worker or as a student?

My wife's son was a student here in the US before I met, married, and brought his mom

to the US. Now he has gone on to graduate school still in the US. He is over 25.

Anyone have any experience for this. We think the best is to go ahead and file the

I130 for him and get in line for the number. He will be in school for 3 more years on

the student visa and I think he can work for one more year after that as training. So he

can stay about 4 years on the student visa.

What I would like to know is what is best? If the process takes 10 years that means he

would have to go home after the student visa conditions are met to wait the

remaining 6 years for a visa number or does he stay here in a limbo status under

the I 130. Since he is already here why would he need go home to get a visa to come back ?

Why not stay here and wait for the number so he can file for the AOS?

Any experience with this would be appreciated.
