  1. Vietnam in non Hague convention country so following the US rules for that process , the child needs to be an orphan https://www.uscis.gov/i-600 U.S. citizens use this form to request that USCIS classify an orphan as an immediate relative. The U.S. citizen adoptive parent or legal custodian files the petition to finalize the immigration process of a child who is not habitually resident in a Hague Convention country.
  2. Questions are personal judgement call My thinking I would make the trip to Nigeria and marry, then apply CR1 ASAP as all other options u mention add time to the process Get it started now when u become a citizen, send copy of naturalization to NVC as they will more than likely have the case at that time. then wait and wait as Nigeria is backlogged for all visa interviews Best to u both
  3. If a person stays past the I 94 date without knowing if extension is granted, what happens if then USCIS denies the expension? they have an overstay and problems this has happened as noted in VJ past posts searching past posts MilkySci talks of what happened to her parents in 2011 when their extension was denied and they overstayed a B1 visa
  4. USCIS will not automatically issue a naturalization certificate once a child becomes a U.S. citizen. Since the document may be needed later when the child applies for jobs or student loans, GCLO recommends filing an N-600 so the child can receive his or her own certificate of citizenship.

  5. it possible Many who want to immigrate here know more about US immigration than we , USC"s do But not many come from Samoa so she was not taught by visa seekers like some other countries and why ask here if she already has that info I tend to believe that many coming on K1 have not taken the time to understand each other and don't know what they are getting into/ it takes time and too many are in a hurry as they are "in love" If USC married or will marry and petitions for AOS, then it is on his head let him be responsible for the green card and the next 10 years
  6. Many who come are surprised as they get home sick so get the bene a cell , add to cell plan fast Make trips when bene arrives to allow him to get familiar with your area Find nearby places to get halil meat and moroccan spices /he will miss Moroccan foods Dont' let him get too homesick
  7. Embassy has to request cases /they do not see the cases (name or case #) till they have case in hand When in transit or at embassy NVC no longer has access to a case its just the way each step of the process is set up to protect valueble personal information
  8. If, you, are the K1 beneficary and this early in relationship had to file restraining order, get to a shelter (help line 600-799-7233 or call 911) Stay there / do not return to him Follow the orders at the shelter they will assist with pro bono attorney but u need to do as attorney says Tennessee does not want to return another K1 bene home in the fashion the following article will tell u / that woman did not remain at the shelter /she wanted to work in out Stay safe and understand "an abuser will not change" without him getting serious therapy The following is from the papers in Clarksville near Nashville https://clarksvillenow.com/local/hamid-houbbadi-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-plus-12-years-for-murder-of-estranged-wife/
  9. fee increases were first asked In 2022 and took years to be passed by USCIS . As described in our Fiscal Year 2022 Progress Report (PDF, 1.08 MB), immigration filings decreased dramatically in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and revenue temporarily dropped by 40%. A hiring freeze and workforce attrition reduced the agency’s capacity to complete cases, even as incoming caseloads rebounded to pre-COVID levels. We lifted our hiring freeze in March 2021, and we are working to fill current vacancies by recruiting and training new staff—we are hiring! We have continued to deliver improved services even in advance of the new fee rule. To stay on a strong fiscal footing and continue improving our delivery of timely decisions, we need the resources that this fee rule will provide. Trump says his 1st priority is to send back the criminal illegals (out of the 11.7 million he plans to deport). Those who are deported will take steps to return illegally same way they came the other times they were deported. Article by American Immigration Council talks about the cost, a timeframe and all issues including what it would do to our economy if illegals were not here to do jobs USC's don't want to do. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/mass-deportation#:~:text=Removing One Million Undocumented Immigrants Per Year&text=ICE's current detention contracts include,39%2C000 people in early 2024. Trump only in office 4 years so lets see what he can get done about the illegals Dont' forget both his wifes came on US visas (along with a lot of his workers in Hotels) I can see him putting the ban back on the countries with terrorist training camps
  10. Uk citizens can not work till AOS process so how to pay the debt will be an issue with USC and maybe embassy
  11. When u do apply , please fill out a timeline with bene's country flag as this info is so important when u make later queries
  12. the "emergency wait times " are for nonimmigrant visas like tourist , temp workers, crew, etc. yours is different than these visas
  13. I would wait for the 2nd meeting in person to file the K1 as u have little "in person" quality time together Algeria is like Moroc and CO's want to see that quality "face time" 1 short visit -do not petition just yet/ CO only looks at submitted evidence and CO at our embassys ignore evidence u bring to interview (even ask for it later) so at least 1 more time together. CO will probable ask "when was the last time together?" that is best time to say "when or USC is here now" to add your additional time together 1. Ages are good 2. Shared religions is great 3. still young enough for children even better 4. u do not have to show engagement party and I wouldn't as it may look like marriage celebration 5. about 25 photos of the meeting is plenty . / a few with algerian family to show their approval/ i scanned 3 to 8x11 size paper and sent them in like that. 6. do the "intent to marry " letter from algerian while there 7. u can even print out the I 129 and fill it out in Algeria so all info is correct but mail it from USA allah yekbel
  14. it may have changed since we did it but adil's said "at the oath time and place with USCIS officer/judge as witness"
  15. From reading on here I believe the waiting time for interview for Canadians is about a year. its helpful to post the country and read former posts and embassy reviews Good luck but don't cut your ties to Canada too fast as everything USCIS does is slow Visa in hand is advice USCIS gives
  16. Valid visa holders will be allowed in like your MIL / we have a tourist visa interview in Moroc in January for 1 family member You may want to read the following to understand what a President can do, try to do or wish he could do i suspect he will again block some countries as he had success in that venture Even in covid the Mexico border was only closed for non essential personal / commercial trucks carrying goods like avocados still came in Even Trump is aware that many illegals come by illegal border infiltration not at POE's Following 2 events the border was completely closed for only days .The measures taken on one of the occasions—the aftermath of President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963—may have constituted a full closure of ports of entry on the southern border for much of the afternoon and evening of November 22, 1963. On another occasion, during President Reagan’s Administration, nine ports of entry were closed for a matter of days after the abduction of a Drug Enforcement Administration agent in Mexico in 1985. He has a supportive Republican Congress now so let's see what he tries and what he accomplishes He still can not fire federal judges so taking them on may be his biggest issue Wait and see /its bound to be interesting
  17. like it says on instructions sign day of oath in front of USCIS officer (or judge) not before
  18. even if you do meet after filing now and bring that proof of relationship to the interview, consular officers aren’t obligated to look at it. That is real BIG /CO at interview in Casa will not look at additional evidence of more trips, etc. I don't often say this but in your case i would go the K1 route (after another trip) Sounds like u r only able to get the short 2 week vacations and not time enough to complete a Moroccan marriage Ages are at your advantage Muslim man can marry Christian or one of the Jewish faith in Morocco / no issues there Muslim woman has to marry Muslim man. He will not be able to work until the AOS process is complete so look at the cost to support him (healthe care insurance is the biggy) Be sure when u are granted the K1 visa , u go for his SS number quicktly as it helps in adding him to insurances and for DL allah yekbel Jeanne
  19. illegals in this state work and work hard /they don't qualifiy for DL , etc here in TN/ the kids are allowed and encouraged to attend school
  20. That judgement call is up to CO some of us spend months in Morocco to prove relataionship and spend years in immigration to receive visa approval and u say financial stain?? then how do u afford to make the trips to meet a financee and then this new wife?? Number 3 does not make sense u need to look at the case as an outsider would as its outsiders (immigraiton officers) that will view documents, interview, and decide Best to u and new wife but understand that even if an expedite is approved, it does not mean interview itself is faster
  21. For the CR1 interview, you have to show quality face time with spouse (several visits during vacations ). this is expected of all CR1 petitions in Casa u may also have to prove, u formally broke off the engagement with the other (before starting a new relationship you may have to show her parents accept your kids along with you as her husband to prove kids are so attached to new wife that they suffer without her, send photos of them meeting her, attending the marriage celebration after the documents for marriage are signed and logs of chats between her and them prior to the date of asking for faster approval
  22. i have to add CO's have the responsibility to protect USC, US, and bene IF the CO at interview views this relationship as not bona fida (as seems u look for a babysitter), u can be denied
  23. Agree. Free to try but don't expect a miracle since u cancelled K1 in August and filed CR1 for a different person kinda fast for your kids to be unattached to one and attached to new one Hi! I had filed I129F and it was approved by the USCIS and currently has a NVC status of ready. I've called off the engagement with the beneficiary and emailed the consulate asking them to cancel the case but never received a response. Also emailed NVC but they told me to contact the consulate which I've done. I've also gotten married and filed I130 for another beneficiary. I checked the old I129F... August 23 1 reply
  24. The only way to get evidence that explicitly shows credits is by taking a screenshot of his profile main page that says that he has 40 quarters. Then screen shot it/ the info is there
