Family

In original post it states ‘ USC child’ , so not a qualifying relative for waiver. Needs a spouse or parent relationship to beneficiary father

Qualifying relative for Waiver has to be spouse or parent..so the U.S.C. child does not work for I-601 . Don’t confuse the fact that child can file the I-130. Then the BIG problem that there is NO waiver for controlled substances conviction, exception being 30 grams or less of marijuana . This is where good attorneys make bank by deciphering record of conviction and laws of the land Link is not specific to OP question but on topic https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/H2 - Waiver of Inadmissibility - Criminal - 212 (h)/Decisions_Issued_in_2021/MAY062021_01H2212.pdf

Yes for you. Your case should move along soon …but @balo101 pro active actions are the best free ways to keep on top of case . Sometimes it works to bring attention to it and speed it up.

@Dreamer7 you are on track to get an RFE for medical and I-864 W as soon as they look at your I-485 . Congratulations on approval of I-360 My comment was for other poster

Putin says West sending troops to Ukraine could lead to nuclear war Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the West of the risk of nuclear war if they send their own troops to fight for Ukraine, saying Moscow had the weapons to strike Western targets. In his annual state of the nation address on Thursday, Putin said claims that Russia intends to attack Europe are “nonsense” but warned that his country might strike Western countries with nuclear weapons. … He confirmed Russia will bolster its military presence along its Western border to “neutralize the threats” of NATO expansion after Finland and Sweden joined the alliance following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/europe/putin-nuclear-war-state-of-nation-russia-ukraine-intl/index.html

The ‘partners’ are declared racists and anti immigrant , CIS , for example, is a designated HATE GROUP . …won’t surprise anyone that it’s folks held administration positions in the last round, heh… The CIS was founded by Otis L. Graham and John Tanton. The organization was founded in 1985 as a spin-off from the Federation for American Immigration Reform and is one of a number of anti-immigration organizations Opposition to work permits for foreign university students CIS seeks an end to "Optional Practical Training" work permits, which foreign students who attend American universities can use to obtain internships.[41] Tanton is a retired Michigan ophthalmologist who opposed immigration on racial grounds, desired a white ethnic majority in the United States and advocated for eugenics.[46][12][47] The SPLC's 2009 report charged that "FAIR, CIS and NumbersUSA are all part of a network of restrictionist organizations conceived and created by John Tanton" who they said had "deeply racist" views, and said that the group had "frequently manipulated data" in order to promote anti-immigration goals.[45] https://www.heritage.org/press/project-2025-reaches-100-coalition-partners-continues-grow-preparation-next-president?preview_id=2848&preview_nonce=e270c3a857&preview=true&_thumbnail_id=2853 Project 2025 Reaches 100 Coalition Partners, Continues to Grow in Preparation for Next President

I did presume that in 2018 you already had filed a I-130 and I-485 based on marriage to abuser …and then requested I-485 be held until VAWA ( I-360) got approved. If you filed I-360 and I-485 right off the bat in 2018 , then you should also have copies of the I-864 W filed at that time. .. ‘ Did you have an attorney…and do you have complete copies of what was filed ? Maybe check the receipt notices to see if I-130 was ever filed

The MAGA enemies list is growing, and so are the odds that you’re on it As the Republican primaries slog toward the climax of a likely Trump nomination, I can’t help thinking that we as a country are still dramatically underreacting to the MAGA threat. The fact that Trump has even made it this far is proof of that. … So, I wonder, how many Americans realize they are on Trump’s enemies list? And I wonder if our collective response would be different if more people knew they could be targeted and their lives upended. To find out who’s targeted, all you have to do is refer to a 900-page “Mandate for Leadership” produced for Project 2025, the effort led by the right-wing Heritage Foundation and supported by almost 100 Trump-supporting groups. It’s a blueprint for the authoritarian Republican administration they hope is coming next. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4488097-trumps-enemies-list-is-growing-and-so-are-the-odds-that-youre-on-it/

Most effective is to do an I-485 /I-864 W and a new medical today and send it out . I would have said the same thing back on Jan 2023 when your I-360 got approved.

If you are going to meet in person . consider getting married ( online Utah Zoom)…and file an I-130 spousal petition online immediately. ‘They are speeding through online filings , so getting it approved in less than 6 months is very realistic . He would come as an LPR and you would save BIG

Hackers threaten to release Trump documents from Georgia case if they don't get a ransom by Thursday Hackers set a ransom deadline of Thursday morning to release Fulton County court documents. They claim the documents include a cache of files related to the criminal case against Donald Trump. An international law enforcement raid took them down earlier this month, but they appeared to quickly recover. The hacking group responsible for taking down Fulton County's websites in Georgia is threatening to publish documents from the government's court system — including ones related to the criminal case against Donald Trump — unless it gets paid a ransom. In a message posted online Saturday, in both English and Russian, the hacking group called LockBit 3.0 said the stolen documents "contain a lot of interesting things and Donald Trump's court cases that could affect the upcoming US election." Initially, LockBit 3.0 set a Saturday, March 2 deadline for payment, according to the cybersecurity reporter Christopher Krebs. It has since moved up that deadline to 8:49 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday, February 29, LockBit's 3.0's restored website shows. It's not clear how much money the group is demanding. The hacking group's demands are often negotiated in private, according to Dan Schiappa, the chief product officer at the cybersecurity firm Arctic Wolf. The group — led by a hacker using the pseudonym LockBitSupp — appeared to become operational again over the weekend after a February 20 law enforcement raid. A group of agencies, including the FBI and the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency, took down 34 of its servers and changed its website to a series of messages bragging about the law enforcement operation. The same day, the US Department of Justice unsealed an indictment accusing two Russian nationals of being involved in the group's hacking operations. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-georgia-documents-ransom-threat-fulton-county-hack-lockbit-2024-2

May I add, go slow and double check your entries for errors or typos. Example in your post you repeatedly refer to I-94 as I-95

In Wedlock and Out of Wedlock birth terms are always used in determining parental relationships…so standard language in RFE s Carl Shusterman is a published author and has a great website https://www.shusterman.com/citizenship-through-parents/ US CITIZENSHIP CHARTS US Citizenship Chart #1 – Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship of Children Born Abroad in Wedlock US Citizenship Chart #2 – Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship of Children Born Abroad Out of Wedlock US Citizenship Chart #3 – Derivative Citizenship of Children US Citizenship Chart #4 – Section 322 Natural or Adoptive Child of a U.S. Citizen

Well , as I see it , the opportunity for automatic acquisition under INA 320 , at entry with IR-2 also required child to RESIDE in the US w U.S.C. parent . That is no longer an option as the entry was short and by the looks of it meant to complete IR-2 process Now the N-600 K will be under INA 322 , so back to proving physical presence charts ….but none require ‘ continuous physical presence’ as claimed in original post . Not sure if I read facts correctly …so jump in if you see something I missed https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/child-citizenship-act-of-2000.html Section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA 320) provides that children acquire U.S. citizenship if they satisfy certain requirements before age 18 which include: Have at least one U.S. citizen parent by birth or naturalization Be admitted to the United States as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence After admission to the United States, reside in the country in the legal and physical custody of a U.S. citizen parent If the child is adopted, his or her adoption must be full and final so that the adoption process is legally complete and fully recognized by the U.S. state where the child is residing. If you and your child reside outside the United States, your child may apply for a certificate of citizenship through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under Section 322 of INA 322 and take an oath of naturalization to complete the child's citizenship acquisition. This includes children of U.S. government employees and members of the armed forces who live abroad with parents stationed outside of the United States. To acquire U.S. citizenship under INA 322, you must demonstrate to USCIS your child meets certain requirements before age 18 which include: Have at least one U.S. citizen parent by birth or naturalization Have a U.S. citizen parent who has been physically present in the United States for a total of at least five years, at least two of which are after age 14. If the child's U.S. citizen parent cannot meet the physical presence requirement, one of the child's U.S. citizen grandparents must meet it. The child lives abroad in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent and is temporarily present in the U.S. pursuant to a lawful admission and is maintaining that lawful status

Slow … https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/14/nicolas-sarkozy-jail-term-halved-ilegal-campaign-financing-case-appeal-court The appeals court gave Sarkozy a lower sentence than the original court: a one-year year prison term, half of which was suspended. The six-month prison term can be served through means such as wearing an electronic bracelet, without going to jail. But the sentence will be put on hold as Sarkozy’s lawyer announced he would contest the decision at France’s highest court. “Today’s ruling is highly questionable,” said Vincent Desry, adding that his client was innocent. France’s highest court, the Cour de Cassation, typically focuses on whether the law has been applied correctly rather than on the facts of the case. Procedures before the court can take years. The Sarkozy case has been labelled the “Bygmalion” affair after the name of the events company that organised his elaborate and artfully filmed stadium gigs in front of thousands of flag-waving fans. Prosecutors said Sarkozy spent nearly €43m (£37m) on his 2012 campaign – almost double the permitted €22.5m. He denied any wrongdoing or illegal overspending. In another case in March 2021, Sarkozy became France’s first postwar president to be handed a custodial sentence when he was given a three-year jail term, two years of which were suspended, for corruption and influence peddling over attempts to secure favours from a judge. This verdict was confirmed by an appeals court last year. But Sarkozy also launched an appeal to the Cour de Cassation The former president has faced several court cases but he is yet to serve any sentences because of appeal processes. In 2025, Sarkozy will face trial in relation to potentially the biggest allegation against him: that he took money from the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to illegally fund his victorious 2007 run for the presidency. He denies any wrongdoing and has complained of being “accused without any physical evidence”.

Attorney on attorney action is always interesting as they always listen carefully to each question and ask for clarification. Plus today small Zoom mishap was pretty funny : one attorney appearing remotely forgot to put on his pants 😂

Looks like everything was done by NBC, without case being put in que for local field office at all. Also eliminated the need to process I-765/I-131. You did a great job in preparing submission…what joint life evidence did you include?

Do share the digital meaning of that , if OP provides it. What can you tell ?

That is extraordinary . ..amazing and leaves me astounded. Did you file I-130 online and I-485 by mail ? Or was entire packet by mail?

Chart 1 from link applies to you , born in wedlock to one U.S.C. parent and you were born after year specified. ‘Won’t cost you more than a nominal consultation fee, but now you are versed in what laws apply to you. 😂 Am not clear what you think you read , but encourage you to hone your research before opening your wallet in a big way Lay a little guilt at grandpas door and see if he can help ….maybe come for higher education purposes , enroll in a university and hand out at his house On/after 11/14/86 Both USCs One had resided in the US or OLP Note 3 NONE One USC and one alien USC physically present in US or OLP 5 years, at least 2 after the age of 14. Note 3

Then your question remains unanswered…hopefully mods can help

And don’t forget breakups /divorces get messy and USC wife may take emotional actions..especially if she perceives in the short few weeks between interview and oath ..she was discarded. As @Crazy Cat linked , questions are very specific , cannot be dodged . Assuming you meet the 3 year marital union test ..you can overcome pushback

Follow this link to review the 4 charts and see an easy read breakdown of law in effect at time of your birth … If for example you were born out of wedlock to a U.S.C. mother…then only one year ..excerpt from chart 2 https://www.shusterman.com/citizenship-through-parents/#2 We attempt to simplify the complex laws regarding acquisition and derivation of US citizenship through parents and grandparents so that they are understandable to non-lawyers. There are 4 US Citizenship Charts that attorneys use to assist them in such cases. These charts are difficult to find on the USCIS website so we replicate them here so that you can use them to begin your research.
