Congratulations! I guess WoM was worth it. Do you mind sharing any details about the process and events that followed after filing WoM?

Does your DS-3025 have checkmark checked for "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements"?

The vaccinations on DS-3025 should be completed

What do you mean by this? Kid has to have a GC, US citizen can present their certicate of naturalization or US passport.

^^ @May531 this is the reason N-600 is highly recommended. Imagine your kid has to go through this as an adult many years later when renewing US passport or getting some other benefit. You may not longer be around, but the adult child of yours will have to go through archives to prove they're really US citizen. If they have cerficate of citizenship, on the other hand, that's just one paper immediately proving they're a citizen without having to go through hassle.

Assuming it's a real lawyer an not a notario posing as a lawyer...

Once she's LPR she will be taxed in the US

NOA1 is the extension letter. Mail can take 4-8 weeks behind online updates

Of course. Only LPR can become a citizen in this scenario.

Yes, you need transit visa. I'd pick a different connection

Depends on country. Check Visa Reciprocity Table for your country. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html/ This describes what USCIS and DOS will accept

I think USCIS pays attention to postmark date. https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/09/20/treat-date-you-print-your-shipping-label-your-postmark-date

More important evidence would be of you: 1) Paying US taxes. As LPR you need to file taxes on wordwide income. Did you do it all these years? If yes, download tax return transcripts from IRS website and print out. 2) Did you maintain any bank accounts, brokerage accounts, any other assets in the US? Bring proof of all that. 3) Do you have a job lined up? Do you have a lease or any solid evidence you're coming for good? You can and should bring evidence of taking care of mother, but more importantly you need evidence of ties to the US. If questioned about it, stay positive, kind and do everything to assure you're coming to the US for good. Also, if lucky to reenter, I'd stay in the US until you naturalize if you can. Which would be 5 years from entry.

You're extremely lucky!

@Alvaro Herrera 90 days exactly is risky. I would have waited few extra days to avoid rejection or denial.

Use stable US address for your correspondence. You need to maintain US domicile to be successful with visa for your significant other too.

August. What makes them think the case is complicated? It doesn't look complicated to me. Unless we're missing important context in this thread. This is smart. Those estimates don't mean a thing. It may show 7 days to decision tomorrow and 35 months the day after tomorrow.

Yes you can safely ignore the warning. Child support does not apply in your situation. It's poorly designed system. I think I saw it too, even though I have no children.

Those tier 1 agents cannot see much more than you can while looking at online status. I'd say most of the times, they're there to provide some canned responses to get you disconnected as fast as possible. They probably have a target for how many people per hour they should reply to. Don't take info above as absolute truth, but this is my impresison based on observations.

@SpaceCat while K-1 was faster than CR-1 in 2024 (when you only measure time to enter the US, not time to GC), nobody can guarantee it will remain the same in 2025. Here's an example of people hoping their K-1 were approved faster, but USCIS decided to "skip" batch of cases: Of course, this can happen to CR-1 too. All I'm saying, you can never know for sure how long case will take and whether K-1 will be faster than CR-1.

Either file I-129F after fiance leaves the US or marry and file I-130. I-130 is a superior visa. It's cheaper, involves fewer steps and harder to deny.

Normal. Give it 4-6 weeks.

Yes. Status often lags behind

Then you have nothing to worry about

Anything under document section? Do you see your N-400 case in account?
