I think you are not understanding that where you sleep most of time matters?
That link is about your spouse naturalizing. While I would think that if she wants to naturalize under section 319(b) of INA, you would want to make it clear you are living abroad for a 319(b) conforming employer, this is is not the topic of your OP.
Unless you really mean naturalization and removal of conditions.
It's a defense contract, and return home based on the contract when it ends. I'm not changing my home address. I'm sure I am not the only had the same/similar situation or military people get deployed during green card renewal and ROC. I'm trying to figure what to do because I get deployed next week.

sorry read,
and you filed this in the adjustment of status forum.
Yeah that is moving to live overseas for a year. You will have to attend the I-751 interview and before that file I-865 to show your change of address.

I don't know if you're not understanding I'm not move to live overseas, and won't have a change of address. I will still have my home address as my residence. It's a military base. All I will have is a PO box not actual address. I was deployed before in the U.S Army, still paid state taxes and didn't change of address.

You have to sign I-864 and if you move overseas, I-865.
You will also have to attend the I-485 interview in person.
if you are not be living with her, she will not be eligible for I-485 approval.
1. Does she have an SSN now?
2. How is she adjusting from K-1 if she was your wife before she entered the U.S.?
It's a Green card renewal and removal of condition. I'm not moving to live overseas, I am doing a OCONUS federal contract work. It's only for a year. She is living at my current residence that I've reside in and also my daughter is now a U.S Citizen. There has to be some exceptions when it comes to work related. Yes, she has a SSN. We didn't do K-1 Visa, we got married in her country and she got her visa and moved her.

I'm going overseas for work, but my wife green card adjustment of status is coming up. We just want to know if this will cause any issues with regards of me having to sign anything of being the sponsor?
She wants to know changing her last name before the adjustment of status will have any impact regarding her social security card.

It was a total nightmare, if I had to do it all over again. I would do my best to have my kid born in U.S. even if medical cost would be 10k. It was so bad, they sent my daughter's green card to the wrong address and had call up our congressman to get the ball rolling to get it fixed. You think you're saving cost, but no. It took over a year to get immigration daughter's thing resolve, but I also still have to pay $1k to get her immigration finally settled. Thankfully we got my daughter's U.S passport but it's still not finished.

Doesn’t traveling to Italy cost more than an N-600?
Techically Yes & No, and could be faster. Plus we're planning to go to Italy anyways. Orginally wasnt for the CBRA but if we can we will file for it and make an appointment there. My daughter is still young enough not to be charged for a ticket.

Would it not cost more than that to go to Italy
There is something very wrong here a USC is not eligible, can not get a GC.
I assume your wife entered on an immigrant visa?
Yes, she came here on an immigrant visa. We are planning to go to Italy for family/personal reasons. If I submit the CBRA and sent it to Roma. Can I do appointment abroad?

yes.
because you aren’t in a country today with a U.S. consulate or embassy. The U.S. doesn’t have an embassy inside the U.S.
Yes it the fee is ridiculously high.
However without the certificate of citizenship she will encounter difficulties. For example you mentioned you are a veteran. If she wants to follow your roosters without the certificate of citizenship her opportunities in the armed forces will be limited.
Some people will tell you that your child doesn’t need a certificate of citizenship. I disagree:
- A citizen has no right to a U.S. passport. Certain acts such as habitually losing a passport, being behind on child support payments, or being placed on certain no fly lists can cause one to be denied a passport. Whereas a qualified citizen has a right to a certificate of citizenship. I don’t think a family court judge will have any pity on someone who can’t get a passport, and thus can’t get a job to pay child support and thus can’t get a passport.
- investigators performing security clearances for certain roles in service of the federal government, military, or federal contractor are known to reject a U.S. passport as evidence of U.S. citizenship
- Some citizens of certain countries are denied certain roles. A certificate of citizenship identifies the previous nationality. Hence a passport is not accepted when applying for those roles
- At some state DMVs, if the SAVE system doesn’t verify U.S. citizenship using the passport card, some DMVs will override SAVE if a certificate of citizenship is presented
- When registering online to vote, some states require those with a US birth certificate or CRBA to provide the number from a certificate of citizenship or naturalization.
- When petitioning a relative for LPR status (aka filing I-130) USCIS and sometimes the department of state won’t accept a U.S. passport as evidence of U.S. citizenship. It is rare but it does happen.
- There are now reports of U.S. citizens who lost their passport having difficulty obtaining a new passport without a certificate of citizenship.
If I can get my daughter's passport then I should able to file for CBRA and make an appointment abroad.

No.
You need:
* her birth certificate
* your marriage certificate
* your U.S. birth certificate
* your USA state photo ID or your U.S. passport
* evidence you had 5 years of physical presence in the USA before she was born, 2 of which were after you reached age 14
Apply for her passport card too.
Get an appointment at the post office. Both parents must attend with your daughter.
After you get her passport, file N-600 to get a certificate of citizenship.
CBP should not have processed her as an alien.
That's the thing I'm a veteran but I have to pay $1k for N-600 for my kid? There were issues and couldn't consulate report. Why can't I just file for the CBRA? I don't want to pay for $1k for issues because of Covid and couldn't file for CBRA.

1. Why did you apply for a gc fir her?
2. Since she is in the USA just apply for her U.S. passport.
We didn't file the GC for her it was like automatic when she entered the US. Since my daughter had an Italian Passport and in order for my daughter to enter the US, the USCIS at the Border and control issued an green card, basically my daughter is an attachment where ever my wife goes. Then they sent the green card to the wrong address.
We're trying to file for her US passport today, but reading if she needs a GC for it?

I'm a U.S Citizen and my daughter was born in Rome, Italy. It's been a headache dealing with immigration since she was born. I tried filing for CBRA, but during covid-19 nothing was open and I couldn't make an appointment. Now my daughter has an Italian passport, we just wanted to be together and get my daughter's citizenship later once she was in U.S. Fast forward, my daughter is now 2 and we learned that the USCIS put down the wrong address, and now my daughter's green card was sent to the wrong address. Now we're still going through the mess, and couldn't get her SSN for the longest time. Then we were informed of her green card stamp, and were able to get the SSN. Now we're trying to get her U.S Passport now apparently we need her green card which we cannot get because USCIS sent it the wrong address. Now it seems they may deny it because on paper is that we "received it" but we did not. We tried getting our congressman involved, but they're useless.
Anyways, can I still file the CRBA after all this and just get her citizenship. All I'm trying to do is get her citizenship, and be done with this immigration nightmare. It's causing so much stress that never seems to end. I do not want file for N-600, costing me $1k for a mistake that wasn't even our fault but the USCIS. I just need to resolve this issue and be done with it.

When you go to the social Security Office, don’t take no for an answer and politely as for Supervisor. Print their own regulations and show this link , you will see the Temporary I-551 Stamp listed. They must process her 1st as LPR and later you can go in and update once US Citizenship is established ON PAPER ( lol) i.e. passport/ N-600
My daughter's greed card category is "NA 3" stamped in her passport.

Your child entered as an LPR if she was issued the Immigrant Visa in her Italian passport and given an I-551 stamp at entry. Read and or type what you see in child’s passport.
The “attached to “ wife’s green card statement is confusing you a bit , as is your statement that child is “ technically “ an LPR. Part of that may be that you filed I-864 for the child instead of I-864 W and maybe did not mark the correct box in DS-260 of the child requesting a Social Security number….BUT none of that is relevant to the immediate solution and your next steps.
To obtain a Social Security Number immediately, you can walk in to ANY Social Security Office and show passport and I-551 stamp along with birth certificate.
We did go in a Social Security Office to obtain one for our daughter. The lady told us go to USCIS. I feel we are being treated and given the ring around. I think we need to go another Social Security Office then and get a different answer.

Your wife and child entered the US and each had a stamp in their OWN passport that shows entry date as LPR?
When did they enter the US?
Did they receive their physical green card yet?My wife received her green card. They entered the U.S. this March. So, the stamp as LPR can be qualification for receiving a passport for my daughter?

I will assume you were a US Citizen when your child was born, and she entered as an LPR .
Apply for a US passport for your child and also file N-600. Take your time, prepare well so there are no mistakes . Do the US passport first , complete with evidence of your ( US Citizen parents physical presence in the US prior to the child’s birth) Examples ( Social Security Earnings Statement , Tax returns with copies of W-2 , records of employment/ school , DMV licenses , leases , bank/credit accounts ….etc)
Once you get US passport, use copy of same evidence to apply for N-600. You only get one chance to apply for N-600, do it well. But if you already obtained the US passport, you are a sure shot for approval.
If you are struggling financially and meet the fee waiver poverty guidelines, you can send in I-912/ Fee Waiver with the N-600 , but they are very strict on thorough documentation of financial evidence and a little slow in reviewing fee waiver , but it can be done.

My daughter has no Social Security Number. How can we file for U.S. Passport if she has no Social Security Number? That is our biggest problem at the moment. As for LPR, she is technically a permanent resident because of my wife but my daughter is attached to her green card. I'm an U.S Citizen but my wife is Italian.

This is the situation. My wife and I were still in immigration process when my baby was born in Rome, Italy. I tried to set up an appointment with the US embassy there. I couldn't file any appointment at the time because of covid.
Fast forward, we instead got my daughter an Italian passport. It was a mistake apparently, now my daughter is like an attachment of my wife's green card with a status 3. Basically the immigration customs made it where I can't get any benefits for my daughter. I can't make my daughter a dependent either. At this point, I'm lost what to do what paperwork to file and where to send it to? I read the ucis but it's really vague. I could use some help so I can make my daughter an American citizen.

Once you have the birth certificate, you can go to the US Embassy/Consulate to get the CRBA, US passport, and SSN.
So, don't pay for the passport book and card until I get her birth certificate? Can I pay for it now, then just put it with CRBA package and wait until I get the birth certificate? It's on the to do the list for CRBA.
23 minutes ago, seekingthetruth said:Just follow the instructions you posted above. You have to wait for the birth certificate before you can proceed. Especially during Covid times, each Embassy does things a bit differently. You should be reaching out to them for any clarifications.
You have to visit the Embassy with the baby to get a CRBA. In the Philippines, I was able to accomplish all the requirements for CRBA, passport and SSN at the same time, and paid all the fees there too. However, the CRBA is the first step and that must be approved before moving forward with the other two.
Sorry, I don't know what a "$150 file search fee" is. CRBA application fee is $100. Child passport fee is $105. I don't think there is a SSN application fee.
I'm not sending off the CRBA until I get her birth certificate. It's just I want to get all the documents together ahead of time and ready to go. Then once I get her birth certificate, then mail it off to the embassy. Just want to complete the DS11 which is part of the check list. The Italian US embassy is very vague on newborns.
The fees are for the DS11 process. It gives me passport and card fees. Then on the very bottom it has file search fee of $150 which is optional.

You have no proof your baby is a U.S. citizen without a CRBA. The DS 11 can be done concurrently with the CRBA.
Do I have to pay for the $150 file search fee? How can it be done concurrently when I have to pay fees? Do I just pay for the passport book fee?
7 hours ago, aaron2020 said:Have you filed a CRBA with the US Embassy/Consulate for your child?
Not yet because we're still waiting on the birth certificate. We just have the report.

This is all it says for checklist. When I fill out DS11, it's required to enter a social security number. That's what is confusing, so I fill it out with 0s in SSN then fill out a statement that she hasn't got a SSN being just born.
1. Completed form DS-2029 – Please do not sign
2. Completed form DS-11 – Please do not sign
3. Completed form SS-5 (for applicants in Rome and Naples only) – Please sign at box 17
4. Original birth certificate issued by the Comune or Anagrafe listing the parents' names.
Birth certificates listing just the child and hospital birth registrations are not acceptable. If
available, please request Modello Plurilingue (certificate in multiple languages). Please bring the
original and 2 photocopies;
5. If married, marriage certificate (original or certified true copy). Please bring the original and 1
photocopy;
6. If previously married, the original or certified copy of divorce decree, or death certificate for all
previous marriages. Please bring the original and 1 photocopy;
7. Valid passport/identification document for the parent(s). Please bring the original and 2
photocopies of the bio page of the document;
8. Proof of U.S. citizenship (passport, birth certificate, or Certificate of Naturalization) for the
American parent(s). Please bring the original plus 3 copies of the bio page of the passport, or 1
photocopy of birth certificate, or Certificate of Naturalization;
9. Proof of physical presence in the United States of the U.S. citizen parent(s). Good examples of
proof of physical presence include school records, university transcripts and employment
records.
Please refer to our website to review the physical presence requirements for transmission of
citizenship and ensure you are bringing sufficient evidence to demonstrate the length of
presence in the U.S. required for your circumstances; -
My baby was born in Italy, and trying to figure out how to do the DS11. How can I apply for the DS11 when my newborn has no social security number? I saw on another embassy they said put all 0s in the DS11 but that wasn't Italy. I don't know if that is treated the same. My wife is Italian and I'm an American. Thank you for any help.

I just got married recently and we haven't started any CR1 process yet, in the middle of doing so. She will becoming here end of August, she got issued an ESTA visa last year before the COVID-19 started. I'm from Nebraska, recently my state was added to their list and haven't really got straight answers. I called multiple of government agencies, basically giving me another number to call another department which I called previously. She will be flying in Illinois, Chicago, but with the new rule of people entering to Chicago(If I were to pick her up). Will I get fined doing so? I don't know if these orders are only for people who are from Chicago or including quarantine like staying there more than 24 hours. I just want to make sure when she fly's into Chicago, she won't have any problems going by train(Amtrack) to get to Omaha, Nebraska. I don't know what she'll go through like more screening at the gates etc? just want to prepare for the unexpected, thank you.
-
I was reading the CR1 guidelines, can't find if it needs to be translated in English, but I am sure it needs to have a Apostille for double verification. I only read the marriage certification needs to be translated, but what about the birth certificate and Citizenship?
-
I just got married a few days ago in Rome, she is an Italian but we will soon process the CR1 visa. I want my spouse come visit me for a month or so. She got an ESTA visa last year and she said it's good for two years. Now with the Corona Virus, esta suspended? But I read spouses are exempted from the Ban? She is worried she cannot visit me in August or September, turned back at the gate. What shall we do so she visit me under the corona virus suspending visas? I figured she can come here on a Esta or tourist visa, she shows her marriage certificate as proof and allowed visit me for a month.

I'm a medically retired veteran, I depend on my disability income and BAH(I go to college full time) to pay the bills. Does that income count for the requirement? I read there is an income requirement of $21k to $33k? It mentioned assets too. I own two cars, and a house.
Renewal driver's license on I-751
in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Posted
We're about to submit the paperwork on Monday for removal of conditions. It's just that the her driver license expires on the 25th of March, same day as her green card.
We're in Nebraska, but we read need a I-797 receipt which takes 2-3 weeks to receive to renew her driver license or there is more to it? I just want to know the process so she can renew her driver license in time while she waits on green card.
