Ok, you did what was asked for you - go to SSS website and check your record.

Always been the case to raise this at POE if traveling after 2nd marriage anniversary.

Umm, no you can't do that. K-1 is single entry visa - can't go in and out of the country with it. So, did you get married and haven't filed AOS yet? If you have filed for AOS but left without AP, you'll be sitting in Canada until your spouse files I-130 and you get an immigrant visa. If you haven't gotten married yet, there's a possibility to get the K-1 visa reissued (may need new medical and visa interview). So which one is it?

She's wrong in this situation as the marriage happened in the 90 day period. Definitely no need for I-130.

Finish up the divorce before he leaves. He can file I-407 to wrap up giving up his green card at the embassy after his return.

So there was fraud or misrepresentation involved? What exactly is your question - you have to wait and see the outcome of the waiver - it's either approved or not.

You've been told wrong. Every immigrant visa has to be STAMPED/ENDORSED before a green card can be issued.

What did she put the first time she applied for tourist visa - length of stay? I can't imagine she put 6 months on DS-160.

If you get started with wife's first, delay final submission until step-daughter's has caught up and you have items for both to complete, then hit submit on both cases.

Definitely dodged a bullet. Count your blessings.

First c-section (unscheduled, after 16 hrs of labor) wasn't too fun - 5 day hospital stay. Second one scheduled (breech baby from 32 weeks that nothing would flip back over and I refused ECV as my husband still wasn't in from out of country) - a breeze. Out in under 48 hrs (in pandemic 2020). Easiest ever - not that I planned on more kids since, I know our limits 😁. Both kids full term - first 40w6d when born and second 40w1d. If this is your first, they do tend to come about a week or so after due date if all is good. Letting them "cook" and fatten in the last few weeks is important no matter how much you as a mom is over being pregnant and want to evict them...

Unrelated to your expedite request - c-section recovery is much faster if you ask for "gentle c-section aka Misgav Ladach type", you have proper sutures (dissolvable) covered with dermabond glue and have a great support person with you in the hospital who knows all your preferences. After c-section they'll give you the belly band to keep everything tight - use it - major difference with it - and faster recovery. Never allow lazy doctor wound closure with staples for c-section wound- those get infected and fall out prematurely aka wound opens up.

I highly recommend your wife petitions you again when you're fully ready to move to the US. in the meantime, help your parent with what they need. Next time perhaps learn all the steps to becoming a legal permanent resident - including activating (aka endorsing) the visa and maybe pre-read the USCIS booklet now that you're a legal permanent resident to know all about your rights and responsibilities in the future.

Perhaps you don't quite get it - there won't be any green card issued IF YOU HAVEN'T ACTIVATED YOUR IMMIGRANT VISA. Now if that visa has expired without you being processed as an immigrant at POE, there certainly won't be any green card issued as you'd have to get the immigrant visa re-issued (more $$ for visa and another medical exam), and pay again for green card issuance as it's tied to your immigrant visa.

Without really providing pertinent info - paid for green card issuance on x date, entered the US on y date - we can't tell you much...

I think that's been dealt with already as the child has a US passport, right? I think he may be asking for documents for Pakistan or to exit Pakistan?

^^^ this - no payment, no green card.

Well since she's married, she could try for VAWA but you'd need more proof - there's a big thread on VAWA, perhaps ask there? This is why I call K-1 visa visa from hell - she's at the mercy of the petitioner for a lot of things.

You current job should be March 2025-current/present - can't put future date there. Should leave the to part blank. Past jobs would have completed dates - ex. March 2023-March 2024.

~Topic moved to AOS from tourist, student, or work visa.~

Ethiopia also has a different calendar - you're 7 years younger there. But sill very strange not to know your birthday - that should match your passport that you're also supposed to submit as part of application.

Did you pay uscis for green card issuance AFTER you've received immigrant visas? If you haven't, that's the issue. Pay it and get the green cards.

Umm, did they pay for the issuance of green cards AFTER being issued immigrant visas? No payment - no green card.

You have some conflicting info in here so start again: US citizen petitioner died in an accident. His now wife (also now pregnant) came on K-1 visa and they married? They filed for AOS? Not sure what consulate has to do with any of this if the wife is in the US? She won't have to leave if the circumstances are as described above, she'll want to get a number of death certificates (for various things, including bank accounts, credit cards, and similar) and send it one to USCIS to convert her AOS petition to widow petition -form I-360. USCIS link: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-widower-of-a-us-citizen IF she's overseas and should be doing immigrant visa interview, she'll need the death certificate and request her petition be converted to widower petition - I-360.

No effect. Disclose at DS-260 and that's it.
