How do you know you won't need even longer? As a rule of thumb of thumb I'd say up to 6 months is safe. Maybe someone with exact knowledge can chime in. Generally I wouldn't recommend flying with a condition because the pressure in the air plane can mess your body up. I hope you get better.

FWIW my wife was not sent to secondary when she came back earlier this year on AP.

Then she got lucky but it's normal to go through secondary with AP. 

Hi Juri I traveled on AP last year and everything went well. Just remember that you'll be send to secondary inspection but that is standard procedure and nothing to worry about. 

I would apply with the Nicaraguan citizenship. You'll most likely present both birth certificates and passports at some point anyways. 

I don't have any advice but I hope everything will go well for you. I know how difficult things are in Nicaragua but thankfully we didn't have to go through what your fiance has to go through. Please stay safe. I just recently filed for my son who is still in Nicaragua and I hope to get him here by next year some time. Please keep us updated as well. 

I have another question.

The form asked for the Online account number. We entered it. So we're still waiting for NOA1 and we haven't gotten a case number per SMS yet. We have the case number for the first petition & the NOA letter but not yet for the one the USC spouse sent. 

Since we entered the online account number is it possible that the new case number will appear in myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov? 

Thanks again

I appreciate all the answers I have received. I have another question. Will the child receive the 10 year green card upon arrival? Or the 2 year conditional one?

Whichever petition is faster will go to the embassy, presumably considering wait times, your son will be here by the time the slower one would reach the embassy

 

 

Even better. Thank you for your help!

And what will happen if I don't withdraw? Once the slower one gets to the embassy what will happen? 

Thanks to this wonderful forum and its valuable members I found out that my US spouse can petition my son (13). I'm a fairly new Green Card holder and I have already sent the I-130 petition for alien relative under F2A and USCIS accepted it as they took their money already. As I understand, they will never issue me a refund and there is really no way for me to recover my funds when I send a new petition. I have used G-1450 for credit card authorization and I called my credit card but they said since I initially authorized them I cannot stop or dispute the payment. Maybe there is another way I haven't thought of? I won't get my hopes up if there isn't.  

Before we send in the new petition under my USC spouse, I have to deal with withdrawing the first one. I have included G-1145 for E-Notification and I'm waiting (impatiently) for my case number. Once I receive it, I will print a letter of withdrawal. Can I put that letter together with my new petition? Which will have another cover letter as well. Or should I send it separate? Or maybe even on separate days? Would it even be beneficial if I just wait for my NOA of the first petition since I assume that my son gets assigned an Alien number? Or will they be able to figure this out anyways and merge his file? I want to send the new petition as soon as possible as the situation in Nicaragua is currently not good. I'm just trying to get this all done as smooth as possible. The hassle of withdrawing the first petition really throws me off.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your comments, thoughts, advice and questions if there are any

No.

I was hoping they would so they could just reject it and we can send again. Thank you.

Try a stop payment then if you want to refile 

Do we need passport pictures of the child?

^^^ This, I'd re-file under the USC, that way it'll only take one year instead of two.

How can I withdraw without them taking the money? Haha

Assuming that she was under 18 when you married her mother, YOU should file for her, not your wife. USC filing for stepchild takes a year. If your wife filed for her it'd take two years.

Does that mean that my US spouse could have filed for my child even though he was not adopted by the US parent? We married and the boy was 10 years old at that time. We already send our I-130 under me, the LPR. He is 13 now and by the time a visa becomes available he would be 15.

After the fee is processed (mine took about 12 hours) you will be able to schedule the fee yourself.

Thank you for your response. You meant interview right? 

What is the website for visadocs? And what is their email address please? Thank you again.

Hi I found the guide here 

https://www.visajourney.com/content/childpet

But I'm confused about the steps once the petition is at the embassy. I understand that some steps happen at the some time for the petitioner and the beneficiary. Can I follow https://www.visajourney.com/examples/NVC_Process_Flowchart_v1-2.pdf? 

My son doesn't have a phone number or email address, how will the consulate contact him? Per letter? 

Embassy will be Managua. 

I have a question. Is it possible to become a citizen of another country after becoming a US citizen and be able to keep US citizenship? If it's not possible I won't consider it. The only reason why I ask is because of convenience to travel. 

I looked at DS 82, the form to renew a US passport, it states the following:

(If any of the below-mentioned acts or conditions have been performed by or apply to the applicant, the portion which applies should be lined out,
and a supplementary explanatory statement under oath (or affirmation) by the applicant should be attached and made a part of this application.) 
I have not, since acquiring United States citizenship/nationality, been naturalized as a citizen of a foreign state; taken an oath or made an
affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state; entered or served in the armed forces of a foreign state; accepted or
performed the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or political subdivision thereof; made a formal
renunciation of nationality either in the United States, or before a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States in a foreign state; or been
convicted by a court or court martial of competent jurisdiction of committing any act of treason against, or attempting by force to overthrow, or
bearing arms against the United States, or conspiring to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force, the government of the United States.

Does this mean it's not possible or can I just write a statement as mentioned above that I take citizenship of a different country for convenience only and I don't plan to overthrow the government?

I understand it's a serious matter therefore I'm not planning on doing anything which could get me in trouble with my government.
