Two situations I can think of are (1) nationals of American Samoa or Swains Island, and (2) Military service under 329 of the INA. INA 329 is rare of late. American Somoa naturalization is becoming common because without it they are restricted in what they can do when they move to the mainland, especially working in govt. Will be interested to hear from op how they obtained theirs.

Overstayed, will he qualify?
nastra30 replied to Don0's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Overstayed when? And what visa did he overstay on? -
NVC will ask for the I864 from the Petitioner/primary sponsor. You can't supply one because Petitioner has passed on. Your next step is actually to inform NVC that the petitioner has passed on. As a general, the consulate makes final determination to issue a visa or not. The will quickly determine that the petition is not valid for a visa at that point in time unless USCIS gives them clearance.

First paragraph summarizes it clearly. Death of petitioner after petition has been approved may qualify for humanitarian parole. Specifically, In your dad's situation he just can't switch primary sponsor; that's not how it works. He needs USCIS permission to do so. You see, generally, family petitions are for family unification/reunification inside the US. So if the petitioner is dead there's no longer a need for that petition because reunification is not possible. There are exceptions to this but again your dad's situation is not one of those exceptions that's why you'll need a humanitarian parole reinstatement at USCIS's discretion. Good luck.

Why is father booking his own interview and not NVC? In your dad's specific circumstance the petition is void unless he wants to pursue humanitarian reinstatement and that's where your affidavit will come in if he’s successful. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/humanitarian-reinstatement If you are a USC you can file a new petition for your dad. Good luck.

Divorce with my wife

How can one prove this to US immigration and let them accept it if there is no official document? -
physical green card after IR1 award
nastra30 replied to letmeknow's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
Nevermind. I see from your other posts that he's your stepson. This doesn't apply to him. So go ahead and pay the GC fee for both your wife and stepson. Good luck. -

@letmeknowAlso before you go paying the fee for your son (just your son). It's possible he's already a US citizen and you can skip the physical GC for him entirely. I assume you are a USC? How old is your son? Is he living with you? -

Did you pay the fee? If so use the receipt to track the status of the GC. -
Birth Certificate RFE help please
nastra30 replied to Hank63452's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Request a new one from issuing authority. -
Very crucial. For insrance, in most African countries the whole extended family (in addition to nuclear family) is prioritized. In the US, priority is mostly given to the nuclear family.

As soon as you take the oath and are confirmed as a US citizens your 17-year old automatically also becomes a citizen so technically at that point she's lost LPR status since she's a citizen too just like the parents. My recommendation will be for you to file for her US passport first, once she receives that then proceed with filing of the N600. Good luck.

I see what you mean. However, in your specific situation, I don't see how you are currently in line if your PD isn't current. You get in line once you are current. Your situation may or may not work in favor but from what I am seeing on Facebook, it's probably going to be another long wait for you. Check your DM for the fb group.

Just a note, once your PD becomes current, you'll be put in the queue for a visa interview. Here's the unfortunate kicker wrt the US consulate in Accra. Currently, for immediate relatives of USC citizens, the wait time for interviews after DQ is 17+ months. So, if current trends continue and you being in a preference category, my guestimation is, it will take you 2+ years to get an interview date, and during this period also hope your PD does not retrogress. Good luck.

The visa expired
nastra30 replied to Seowmi's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
Wonderful. Thanks for coming back with feedback. You are one more statistics showing it's possible for expired immigrant visa to be issued, against some popular beliefs out there that it's not possible. BTW, if you are a USC, no need to pay the immigrant fee. As soon your son touches down in the US under your custody, he automatically becomes a USC. You'll just apply for his US passport. Once he receives his passport, highly recommended to apply for his N600 certificate. Good luck. -
He had the interview already? I wonder why status says refused.

Hopefully, you specifically ask NVC you want to withdraw the I864? Once you accomplish that, you'll write USCIS to withdraw the I-130.
