u could have added the teen to tax returns with form W5 getting her ITIN # but now u can amend returns as soon as her SS card is received You may file your income tax return without claiming your daughter as a dependent. After you receive her SSN, you may then amend your return on Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return and claim your daughter as a dependent. Generally, you have three years after the date you filed your original return or two years after the date you paid the tax, whichever is later, to amend your return.

Congratulaions -really happy for u make sure u go to SS for change in the system to reflect your citizenship you can now go for US passport and register to vote

At this pont there is absolutely nohting , you the immigrant , can do Alll this is in the hands of the USC wife as she would have to make the effort to be with you to satisfy immigration she should join the forum at this point the "Why" she did not visit is not as important as the fact that she did not make the effort any good CO at a new interview will look into the 9 out of the 10 years you were not together / new visits will not change the fact that your marriage is less than important to both of you How has she been doing her tax returns ? If as single, she is not and the CO may want to know why Has she tried to commingle any assets with u? has she been sending money to u in Pakistan? which is not a good idea Looks to me and many of us that she wasn't keen on doing the travel and work needed to secure your visa that is harsh i know but my wife came to Moroc 5 times and spent a total of 10 months with me and family you say the ceremony is a big thing and treated as a family gathering -with few photos? It is a big family thing too in Moroc and all my family and friends had to be in photos especialy the little kids -couldn't leave any of them out and even had a USB made so they could have copies Enough rant from me -just make sure your wife is wllling to go the long long haul to be with u in marriage as this is a visa for family unification

The important document is the ds 160 confirmation page when you do that part of the process

there are alternatives from the CBP site https://www.help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-1418?language=en_US By land and sea (including ferries) - Canadian citizens traveling to the United States by land or sea are required to present one of the travel documents listed below, and may generally visit the United States for up to six months. CBP will accept: Canadian passport Enhanced Driver's License/Enhanced Identification Card NEXUS, FAST/EXPRES SENTRI enrollment cards.

Reading your post to figure out the timeline and in March u state applied 7 months ago / that would be October so it has not yet been 12 months which is still within normal times As for the interview possible , fill out a profile and ID the country and members of Manila will know your embassy with possible wait times after the NVC process is complete and u r DQ'd

Is your Canadian passport still valid? i would plan to use that and take a copy of the naturalization papers with you for your return I would not think u could get the US passport in time unless you expedite it and then u still may not get it in time

And this is interesting also https://thehill.com/homenews/5513273-trump-signs-gold-card/ President Trump on Friday signed an executive order to set up a new visa pathway for expedited treatment, with a fee of $1 million for individuals and $2 million for a corporation to speed up the process of allowing employees to work in the U.S. legally. I remember USCIS wanting larger fees a few years ago and fighting Congress to get the changes so why is Congress not the one requesting this. they are suppose to be in charge

the quarterly reports are a good source to show stats but u r thinking the petitions received in the "total completetions" column are for the ones recived in that quarter they include all former petitions that are now just completed at the 1st stage -many of these completed are from submitted petitions in former quarters this does not include the queue time for the interview if u upload good solid evidence of living together (either visa) , it does limit the USCIS stage BUT filing for K1 so fast after meeting is weak compared to commiting to marriage

you are going to live with her so you'll have the evidence needed to prove the relationship especially if you marry on that trip and apply for the spouse visa Go to Brazil , marry and apply onlne for CR1 the I 130 for spouse take your birth certificate and any other documents to Brazil that are needed to marry and petition Those on here that went K1 regret that choice timeframe for both petitions is about the same to the date of the interview

True but its not 6 months waiting from time of separation as it is in other states (NY is a year) , its 6 months of living in the state

so , use certified translator (and moroc is specific about this -u can not do it yourself as other countries allow) and please, when u send in papers and receive the receipt, make a profile page and Id the country with the moroc flag this helps others when answering your queries and those who follow the same process from moroc

its not a 6 month waiting period _(like after the separtion document like other states) but one of the persons must have lived in Ca for 6 months To file for divorce in California, at least one spouse must have been a resident for a total of six months and lived in a specific county for three months

Reason for asking what EB visa this is for is because there are numerical limits The overall EB visa limit for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 is approximately 150,000 visas, set by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), with each of the five EB categories receiving a statutory percentage of this total. For FY 2025, the EB-1 and EB-2 categories have already reached their numerical limits, meaning no further visas or green cards will be issued for those categories until the fiscal year resets on October 1, 2025, when new visa numbers become available.

What form?

dont hire any lawyer that says there is a 90 day rule for this

Her documents and your marriage certificate needed to have an English translation (along with copy of the Moroc document showing stamps-copy only for the I 130) You will need the originals for the interview. the following site will give you list (by city) of approved US immigration translators in Moroc https://ma.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/translators/ allah yekbel

there were 19,927,656 applications for the 2025 and that's almost 20 million dollars think of it this way its easier to get $1 out of 1 million people than 1 million out of 1 ( in this case Congress help with funding)

Totally true and with good reason. It to bad the CO who denies a petition can only say "the relationship is not real Or marriage is not bona fide / when they may have seen things like the bene talking to several others on social media telling others the same they say to the USC. One VJ member fought thru a long NOID with proofs (basically it was all proofs of what she did to satisfy immigration and the CR1 -mulptiple visits, going to his country to marry, etc). but he came, and as soon as he received the green card and was gone to his real GF in another city, I suspect there are times the CO'S know things and a USC should check to see if her heart is wrong and she should trust the embassy. i am one of the lucky ones to have gone thru a long visa process and be married to a good man for over 15 years but i see many who are not its a shame some people can ruin the chances or others but it is so and we at the mercy of immigration to feret out the bad ones

you said and i quote, "When asked when she smokes weed, she said she does it when she is stressed-" With this process being very stressful to ALL of us , she needs to deal with stress differently -just trying to help here as the new CO at interview can ask her' how do you deal with stress now? i would ask that if i was the CO

congratulation

what country?

The Dr and/or CO can consider it "drug addiction" if the person uses it daily or is a long term user So, how , now is she dealing with stress? Here is some helpful ways to deal with stress from the Cleveland Clinic https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/11874-stress
