Yes for sure. No “P math” needed here 🤪 The challenge is finding one who has expertise not just “ book knowledge”. Thinking we were getting the first, but finding out it was the second, cost us $1500 on our first tax year here 😵‍💫🤬😓

If they are approving the application then yes, they keep the v passport and return it 1-2 weeks later with the visa foil in it She should be ok for the overseas trip in Feb. Her next entry into the US will trigger the use of her IR 5 visa and her LPR status. Not possible to enter as a tourist if the immigration visa is already been approved. I would be very reluctant to reschedule the interview.

Or,more likely, realise their goals aren't going to work ..the US tax system is a bigger, more confusing hole than USCIS !

There is short term insurance available for purchase online in the US. As with travel insurance it is often very limited cover .. catastrophic events only, no routine medical appts, no cover for preexisting conditions, no medication etc .. but its better than nothing in case of accident etc. Google “ short term medical insurance USA. Bring a good supply of medication in original packing and make a call to the ACA navigator team in your state the day after you arrive. Get SSN asap and back accounts etc as you will need evidence of residential address for many things. If it feels like a never ending spiral into a dark hole .. that’s exactly what it is. But you will get there. Use the time before you arrive to get a ls much info and process clear in your mind and on paper. Good luck

Treat each form as “stand alone” Attach all required documentation to every form. Different forms are processed at different centres. Don’t forget to also apply for the travel permit and work permit at the same time as the AOS. There is no fee for b these when filed with an active I 130

You must also have v evidence of your presence in the US for the required period of time. Passport wont do that

The normal action is to file your forms as the primary sponsor and for your fathers forms as a joint sponsor. That is the usual interpretation of the uscis instructions. Sometimes individual uscis workers make different decisions. Then you follow those instructions if they are different

Adjustment of status will always be of the table. If the undocumented person marries a USC, this will then allow for the petitioning of the non US Spouse through the Consular process. The interview will be completed in their home country. Departing the US for this interview will trigger a ban of up to 10 years. The immigrant visa will be denied and the applicant can then apply for a I601 waiver. All this would happen with they remain out of the US .. and will take 2-3 years

Incorrect. As per the Instructions for this form and others which require declaration of “ time out of the country” , days when you spent even 1 minute inside the US are days spent in the US not outside eg arriving flight lands at 11 pm .. Dec 20.. That day is considered to have been spent in the US departing flight leaves at 1 am Dec 20.. That day is also considered spent in the US USCIS will count the day that an applicant departs from the United States and the day he or she returns as days of physical presence within the United States for naturalization purposes. https://www.uscis.gov › volume-12-... Chapter 4 - Physical Presence - USCIS

If you ever has an A number .. which of course you did.. put it in. They already know it .. and they know you have an A number.

Reread the replies. No. It will not be accepted. Even if it was placed on the file, a new one will be requested after the application is denied. They can’t ask for a waiver until the visa is denied for an incomplete medical. The waiver will add an extra year to the overall process.

She should relocate to the US. Then you submit evidence of her arrival and domicile , get your visa and go.

Having entered legally into the US the last time the person enters is a requirement for Adjustment of status if eligible as an immediate relative. No legal last entry .. no AOS possible.

You can ask but it’s in the hands of the Consulate and may not get you as much time as you need… you may still find yourself running out of time to enter with an issued visa or being very delayed in interviewing . I re read your post and see that the I 130 have already been filled for your children You can still follow the rest of the info in option 2 ..

How did they enter the US ? Visitor visa and overstayed ?

Correct terminology K1 visa is a single use visa granting entry upon presentation Entry using K1 results in a period of “authorised stay” of up to 90 days After the 90 days, the K1 user becomes “out of lawful stay” status, and is subject to deportation, unless a further period of “authorized stay” is granted by application such as Adjustment of Status. Accurate understanding and use of terms is really critical in these processes Many many delays denials and refusals occur because of inadequate understanding .. it gets really disheartening and very expensive when this happens

Your options 1. Your petitioner should file I 130 immediately for each of the children. Slow down the submission of your NVC documentation until their petitions are approved and sent to NVC. Request the NVC to link the cases and continue the processing together. Immigrate together 2. your petitioner should file I130 immediately for each child. Continue your processing through NVC and consulate interview without delaying it. Arrange for your children to stay with relatives in your home country for about 1 -2 months. Once you have your visa, enter the US.. Your stamped passport will be your evidence of your LPR status. Immediately get your SSN, bank account etc as evidence of your residency and intent to domicile in the US. Immediately file for a Reentry permit I131 for yourself. On the form, indicate that you want to pick up the issue permit at the US consulate in your home country Wait until you have received notification of the receipt of your application and either have had on file biometrics applied or attended the required biometrics appointment. You can then leave the US and return to care for the children while their immigration process takes place. It may take 6-12 Months for the permit to be issued. You have 2 years from that date of issue to return to the US without being assessed as having abandoned your LPR status. Return yo the US using your reentry permit, accompanied by your children using their immigrant visas

Possibly yes. Not guaranteed Yes.

IMO, the I131 will be rejected as the requirement is that the applicant must be in the US when filing for the travel permit .. not that the I131 must be “filed/posted” from within the US. I recall a thread recently where an OP was in the US, mailed the I131 application, and left the country the next day .. before the USCIS received the application .. and were denied because they were deemed to have not been in the US when it was filed.

I used the stamped visa. It is valid for 12 months from entry. No need to wait for the GC and no need to risk getting it mailed to you

They don’t care who actually puts it in the mail. Just make sure it is what they are asking for, has the correct cover letter attached, and is sent too the correct address. Use a signature required, proof of delivery Service and keep photocopies of everything sent

Part B is never free. Monthly payment even when getting Part A free I guess though if you choose a basic Medicare Advantage plan that has zero monthly premium, that can seem me make part B free … But they usually have a hefty deductible and restrictive in network limitations. You pay either way !

Dont need to do this once of stay outside the US after entering as LPR will not cause problems. But remember that the LPR status is for living in the US.. so don’t delay getting this sorted and getting them back to the US to live The stamped visa is all that is needed for reentry. Make sure the $220 per person Green card fee is paid and that the address to which the cards are being sent is a safe trustworthy location so that the green cards aren’t returned because they can’t be delivered. Family address and heads up
