I should also add that you're only subject to the 2 year requirement if whatever you were studying is on the "skills list" as established by your government and published by Dept. of State. When you received your J visa an officer may have stamped your visa "subject to 2 year residency requirement," but that doesn't necessarily mean they actually analyzed whether your course of study was subject to the residency requirement. Only an immigrant visa officer can make that decision after your interview. 

USCIS doesn't review proof of relationship evidence. The consular officers in Nicaragua all speak Spanish and can read your messages (if they want to, which they probably do not). 

When I worked in Juarez we definitely cut the corners like that. I thought every consulate did it that way. As someone else mentioned, it's done so it's clear that there are only documents in the envelope.
 
I've heard of many people that had the packet open up during their flight as well - I really don't think CBP officers care about the packet being open. Not that I'm recommending exploring the packet - there's nothing interesting in there. 

You need the father's passport to prove citizenship. The transcripts can prove he lived in the U.S. for the request 5 years (two years after age 14).
 
DNA may be requested if you have no other evidence that could establish a biological relationship. The consulate would give you instructions in that case.

Black out your account numbers. 

If you file for adjustment of status within 90 days of entering the U.S. as a tourist there is a legal presumption that you had the intent to adjust status at the time of entry to the U.S. This can lead to the adjustment of status application being denied, entry of a 212(6)(c)(i) ineligibility for fraud, and the initiation of deportation proceedings.
 
Even after 90 days there is still a risk of fraud finding. I'm inferring here that she promised the CBP agents she did not intend to adjust status in the U.S. (otherwise they would have turned her around), so she's on record with that. 

This is 100% false. 

Maybe Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. Needs a lawyer with knowledge of state family law.

The stepchild of a U.S. citizen is not eligible for naturalization. 
 
You can get her a green card but then she has to live in the U.S. until she is eligible to become a citizen (several years).

They assume she was working in the U.S. And rightly so. A Dominican mother doesn't leave their child in the D.R. while they take a 4 month vacation in the U.S.

He wasn't denied for failing to disclose a prior tourist visa refusal. That's not a material misrepresentation as it has no relevance to eligibility for a K visa. If he was refused as ineligible for a visa (for misrepresentation, unlawful presence, prior removal etc.) the refusal letter would have cited the pertinent section of the immigration and nationality act and stated whether a waiver is available.
 
My guess would be that he is not free to marry. Email the consulate and ask for an explanation. If you don't get a response in a couple weeks contact your senator/congressperson.

There's nothing you can do but wait for a response to your email.
 
The CEAC status is basically meaningless. No human person updates that status. 

To most consular officers this is basically a permanent ineligibility. Officers aren't personally offended when someone uses a tourist visa to work or live in the U.S., but people do get angry about this kind of thing. I don't think you're getting a visa for 20-30 years at least. The IR5 category will also probably be eliminated by the time the kid turns 21. 
 
I once asked a hospital in Florida how someone could retroactively pay for a birth and was told the hospital had no mechanism for returning Medicaid funds. Even if the hospital can recoup the full cost of the service provided, you still effectively stole money from U.S. taxpayers. So I don't think paying it back is really an option.

Are you saying that the U.S./state treasury actually gets its $6,000 back? Interesting. 

Income isn't an issue if you have a cosponsor. You will need to show that you have't abandoned your domicile in the U.S. and actually intend to live there, rather than just trying to help your husband obtain residency.
