  1. I’m quite specific that I want / need lawyer from Boston. Dunno if she is ? If OP need great Boston’s lawyer please HMU also I’m not a fan of immigration court just because of the hearings date keep push around and not specifically because of a judge. Though I have the toughest hardest judge while my case still in NYC. Most of the time the judge themself is quite lenient vs to USCIS (asylum). I have couple of friends got their GC granted by the judge, some has more compassion then USCIS. and I rather handle USCIS (piece of cake ) vs court. but when USCIS denied ur filing couple of times I think it’s time to cook another game plan
  2. Oh I believed you. I’m from Indonesia and when I arrived 7 years ago (until now) I was flabbergasted with the US banking system that seems like coming from Jurassic park year
  3. what did i want to use? credit cards. why? easy no brainer, super easy, miles + points etc etc what did i use in the end? personal checks, why? because it's USCIS that we are talking about here. so many horror story about card being declined etc, why rock the both since i have all kind of payment method that i can use. i know my card wont be declined, i used it for big ticket items up to $10,000 in single swipe and i have no issue, but my suggestion to my friends always personal checks too because we never know other people's spending habit. many people didnt think about it, turned out their card limit in single swipe or day is $500 or $1000. some send 4 i-130 for families and credit card got bounce too because the bank think that it's fraud attempts most people have checking account i assume, otherwise how do they survive to live in the US without one? they dont have personal check? call and ask the bank to send it to them. moral story : follow what the most easiest way to pay that wont cancel ur payment.
  4. Most POE will require moving from different terminals by shuttles or train anyway especially if it’s international + domestic. I’m very conservative when I fly nowdays, like i said earlier, add more times probably 4 hours. It’s fine to have longer layover but safer. She can just chill out if she has more times.

  6. Same terminal or ? Boston is not really huge but still need to take shuttle depend on the terminal. So that’s the only concern especially if she bring lotsa bags. I will probably just book longer layover or if it’s late enough of the flight, book her airport hotel. Flying since 2022 always stressing me out due to delay cancelation etc
  7. file i-130 with USCIS. wait roughly a year to get approved. once it approved it will be send to NVC for next processing once done filing with NVC ( DS260 and i-864), it will be sent to embassy / consulate for interview. roughly 18-24 months total u can file it today if u want
  8. where is ur wife right now ? inside or outside US? inside US = adjustment of status outside US = consular processing 2 different thing you can file for the kid right now if you already file for ur wife. i-130 only
  9. U need to find someone with real job / active income as joint sponsor. The government wants to make sure that the sponsor + joint sponsor to be responsible. U only have 1 shot and social security benefits for your daughter won’t cut it. Dont rock the boat
  10. Who do you sponsor ? Is it marriage base or family base or something else ? Which category? I saw you are in NVC, has the petition has been approve by USCIS yet ? Need more info before we can give you correct advise
  11. i will try again 1 more time with walk in ( if it's not far from where u live). hopefully got a different person or try chat/call emma and say "info pass" ask tier 1 to ask tier 2 to call you there's also message option on my uscis account, u can send a message to them ( but it's not heavily monitored) try to reach out to your local congressperson, maybe they are willing to help there's no time frame for appointment, they do whatever they want unfortunately try to get outside ur area, type USCIS field office and look around if they accept walk in or you have to go to a specific ASC ( most big cities assign biometric in ASC and not in local field office)
  12. been a couple months already know ( refering to mike E) and why? guess you have to ask him yourself my take for n-600 : in the new future who knows if the kids who only have US passport/card might petition their future spouse ( u never know right). who knows USCIS ( if they didnt change the name again - it was INS 2 decades ago) might said US passport is not enough, u have to submit birth certificate or n-400 or n-600. also US passport = Department of State and USCIS = DHS. 2 different agencies. as you know they dont communicate to each other well enough. so this is just an expensive investment, IMO
  13. when you enter US, u can let them know so they can update ur address
  14. 1. sometimes they "lost" it. i will wait till RFE before i get another medical. 2. yes....sometimes many months
  15. if I were you, I will get my US passport first. once u have the US passport, u can live wherever you want without the restriction like LPR status ( need to reside in the US at least 6 months / year)
  16. they wont take photo album just use powerpoint, attach the pictures + add discriptions ( max 3 pics in 1 slide), print it out in letter size, it's okay to print it out black and white.....then mail it
  17. second this ! they want to see transactions, eg : pay cable, pay rent, buy groceries etc. normal marital life sharing financial together. my suggestion is always minimum 3 months full statements. they dont care about a piece of letter stating that person A added person B vice versa without real transaction statement. now obviously u have deadline for RFE so send whatever you have and not waiting for 3 months statement. all my statement from the bank are paperless and i can access it by login on the app / website and just download it
  18. on the RFE it said share marital life together. technically yes its from the day you married to present. but that's the standard generic letter for RFE anyway but i dont see the harm to add on the evidence since when u were dating ( for example : boarding pass to show whoever visit the other). this past 2 years i helped filing many AOS, even with wedding pictures and from the day they dated, photos that we submitted never exceed 15 pics. focus on evidence of cohabitation / finance more. that's they want to see that you guys share live together
  19. if u fill up G-1145 u (sometimes) / will get text messages from USCIS with receipt number. but sometimes even when u did, u still didnt get any text message. what you can do is check is the check already cash out by uscis ? if it's cash out, the snail mail letters will come 10-20 days. obviously this is just rough estimation.
  20. gotcha...i will give another 1 week, and in the mean time prepare a new package ready to send. if u decide to send a new package, cancel the original check first obviously. i help a lot of people filing and this past few weeks it's been weird. i noticed some of them didnt get the text message from USCIS, or tracking system its not updated, but turned out they reused the old biometric etc etc. and on top of that it was holiday season when they received it. but i agree with u.... 12/19 u should get something or anything by now whatever it is
  21. if ur package never been receive by USCIS, if i were u, i will put new date for the signature. there's no harm since u need to have wet signature anyway. just think this way " file like u file a brand new application/ submission". im very OCD and meticulous so i rather start fresh. it's okay if i94 expired, as long as u married within 90 days since the person come with K1. just print the copy of i-94 from CBP website.
  22. ur wife its not the first immigrant non english speaker patient that they handle for immigration purposes medical just please dont brought that violation thing subject up to the hospital. what do u want to gain here? i dont know about ur wife, but i ( the immigrant) just want to get the medical... period. if i dont like them for some reason, i will bring the business somewhere else. there's no shortage of civil surgeons here in the US
  23. just to be clear because u write i-693 but u post on consular processing group, where is ur wife gonna do her medical? inside US or outside US? i can say for inside US, there's no genital, breast check etc since this is not ob-gyn annual check up, and for south east asia countries, there's never happened either. that's will be discriminatory if woman have to endure that check while man didnt. i cant say much about CONUS. as in you bringing up the violation subject about hospital have the provide translator, is it US hospital or outside US? i assume it's US hospital since u brought US law on it. i work in the US hospital at the moment so i know a a bit about translator situation. many interpreter available in my hospital are indeed on call ( [phone) and not in person. there's no way hospitals hiring full time interpreter to cater all language in person. for my language, if it's the case, they wont have anything to do since i never met single indonesian in the past 3.5 years i live in my state. if you dont like that hospital because u think they violate the law, why dont u : 1. bring ur own translator OR 2. find another place to do medical ( again my assumption this is medical inside the US, i know outside US the option is limited). for example in NYC there's more than 100 surgeon available. there's many people who did AOS inside US and cant speak english at all, have no issue getting their medical and submitted to USCIS and then get their GC. most of the time they are accompany by their family member during doctor visit to help the language barrier. if u said ur turkish is basic, then how u speak with ur wife? i assume english ? i think u over thinking this situation.
  24. in marriage certificate listed FIL's last name is Rodriguez correct ? if yes, it wont be an issue. MIL can justify that after she's married she took her husband last name. a bit a nuance here. took is not equal name change ( usually name change is completely different first name and last name for example : "mary jane doe smith" become "lady gaga rodriguez". it is obvious why mary jane smithbecome mary jane doe de redriguez.... by submitting the marriage certificate that shows FIL's name is " papa RODRIGUEZ"
