She can file her I-130 now and deal with I-1290B withdrawal later.

Well that's a waste of money for I-290 B. She was wrong as she didn't supply everything required - USCIS rightfully denied. Have her do a new I-130 and this time check that she has EVERYTHING required before submitting the petition.

And that's ok. Some people never change their maiden name to married name, some people don't change last name to maiden name after a divorce, totally ok.

If your home is your only asset and primary residence it won’t be counted, I’m afraid. Reason being it would put you in a bad situation if you had to divest of it - where would you live? Now if this is your second or more residence that’s not a problem.

That's not the green card production fee ($220). You pay that on uscis.gov so should be easy to see on credit card statement. Would've been paid after visa issuance and (possibly) before entering the US.

As long as child is on the military orders staying outside for more than 6 months as an LPR is NOT a problem.

No, they need to get a new visa with the correct school name listed.

From CDC itself. https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/vaccinations.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fimmigrantrefugeehealth%2Fpanel-physicians%2Fcovid-19-technical-instructions.html#covid-19-vaccination Vaccination Documentation for Nonimmigrants The vaccination history of all applicants submitting for an examination by a US panel physician should be reviewed and vaccinations they have previously received should be documented on the DS-3025 Form, even if they are nonimmigrants who are not required to meet vaccination requirements prior to travel to the United States. Although refugees and K visa applicants are not required to receive vaccines before traveling to the United States, they must meet the vaccination requirements when applying for adjustment of status or permanent resident status in the United States. Therefore, for these applicants, panel physicians must complete a DS-3025 Form if the applicant provides reliable vaccination records. A copy of this form must be provided to the applicant for use as his or her vaccination record in the United States.

Then go for the religious exemption - it applies even if you have received previous vaccines and decided not to take any more. Search for topics in the waiver forum. And you ask for exemption from USCIS not the local medical doctor in Manila.

OP is K-1 applicant so while she could opt to go for vaccines, she has the possibility to decline as K visa applicant.

Why wouldn't it work? We've seen plenty of I-601 for religious exception approved (just covid or all shots) this year and in the past. I imagine you'd have to prepare your fiancée to decline what's offered per the DS-3025 form as a K visa applicant that is an option for her. You then need to work on finding a civil surgeon to do I-693 (get the titers done as that's accepted in lieu of having to repeat the vaccines) and start working on I-601.

At least the K-1 visa recipients have the option of declining any and all vaccines and dealing with it come AOS time in the US. You can do I-601 waiver. https://omb.report/icr/202207-1405-004/doc/123423800 - scroll to page 2 of pdf, section 2 Vaccination Documentation. Per OMB, there's apparently form to complete not to do COVID shots - DS-5158 (which when shown on line is a bunch of indecipherable text) - though I'm unclear if this is for DoS employees as the EO 14043 for federal workers was under injunction since Jan 2022 and rescinded back in May 2023. https://omb.report/icr/202206-1405-004/ic/250798 There is also DS-5159 for religious exception https://omb.report/icr/202206-1405-004

My mistake - 3 YEARS, not 3 days. That would've been a very fast timeline to naturalization!

Now that she has the visa, she needs to go online to uscis.gov to pay for green card issuance. This can be done before or after POE entry. It will be a 10-yr card. She can apply for citizenship 90 days before 3 day anniversary of being an LPR. For SSN - go to the local SSA office and complete the form to update it. Bring passport with endorsed immigrant visa with you.

Yes, he can. Make sure you have everything the DS-11 requires (photo, birth certificate, naturalization certificate) and schedule ACS appointment. Oh and also make sure you can hang around for 4-5 weeks as that's how long it will take to get his passport.

No US embassy in Iran. They'd have to go through Protecting Power which is Swiss embassy for CRBA and to Turkey for IV appointment.

You start with I-130. It will not be fast for your siblings (F4 category) - 23+ years. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-july-2023.html

Not possible to expedite a case that's pending visa number availability so hiring a lawyer would be wasting money on things that lawyer cannot change. The brother will just have to wait for the number to be available - and remain single for the duration.

I'd try to book if you see available appointments. Welcome letter in most cases is what you've already done (gather all the paperwork needed for interview), book a medical (before or after the interview, depends on your country).

You need to follow the steps to schedule the appointment to submit I-360: https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-inquiry-form/ Showing up without an appointment will just get you turned around.

Fee has gone up since mid-June - I think it's $180 now.
