    Ignore 2020, nobody uses that anymore. Only 2008 version is relevant.

    This has two problems: 1. Your case can be sitting for another 2 years before approval or RFE 2. Keeping married for immigration benefit is called immigration fraud. It can have severe consequences for you and your spouse. This all depends on your your trust in this relationship. If both of you still have some faith, you can try counselling / couples therapy to save the union. If you have doubts, should just divorce quickly and proceed with divorce waiver I-751.

    You would need to notify USCIS about a change of your marital status (divorced) and convert existing I-751 into divorce waiver. Or file a new I-751 once divorced, at the same time withdrawing old joint petition. It's important for USCIS to know about the divorce. If joint I-751 case is approved without interview, when you're divorced, you can have major problems during N-400.

    Found this from 2016: https://www.***removed***/forum/usa-visitors-visa/155708-entering-us-with-visa-annotation-canadian-pr Not sure how accurate the answer is and what's the basis.

    So why don't your friend let her do the legwork and deal with it as it comes? I think this thread is no longer a discussion about immigration. It turned into conversation about life situation.

    I believe the OP says the lady has a valid tourist visa. So I assume she was visiting the US.
  8. OldUser
    If he's not listed on child's birth certificate, that becomes even a bigger hurdle for the lady to claim the kid is a US citizen.

    There's no obligation for father to go through CRBA. It's a question of ethics whether he would want to do it or not. The USC friend needs to realize that by filing CRBA the mother gets avenue to come to the US once the child turns 21 and can sponsor her. Otherwise the mother can pound the sand.

    Can you elaborate on this? Usually there's two parents on birth certificate in most countries. What did she list for "father" / "parent 2" or whatever it may have been called?
  11. OldUser
    Agreed with you, this seems like an act of desperation. She likely just wants to force OP's friend to sell the house and split the proceeds, but doesn't have any legal grounds for that.
  12. OldUser
    Assuming the birth was given in Colombia, CRBA will need to be filed, correct. And US citizen needs to cooperate for this to happen. I doubt it's possible without active participation from your friend. Does the birth certificate list the friend as a father? She cannot just "take his house", since they were never married.
  13. OldUser
    Then I think "No" is the right answer for them.
  14. OldUser
    If your kids are US Citizens, you should check No box for question "Is this child applying with you?" Are you 100% sure they're US citizens? Were they born in the US?

    Does your social security card have any wording such as "Valid for work only with DHS authorization"? If no wording other that number and your SSN, then you're fine. You can show it to any employer with drivers license to prove your eligibility to work. ADIT (I-551) stamp in passport lets you travel and return to the US.

    Path of least resistance is joint sponsor. If you don't get it right your case may get denied and you'll have to start over.

    Are you sure the transaction didn't get flagged as fradulent and credit card payment got declined? This is a fairly common thing when paying USCIS fees with credit cards.
  18. OldUser
    Can you elaborate on this? There's not such thing as temporary removal AFAIK.
  19. OldUser
    I disagree with this. I know somebody personally who got I-751 approval at WAC without filing for N-400. There were also a few reports on forum recently where people got approved without filing N-400. It's not to say that I-751 is a priority for USCIS. It's not.
  20. OldUser
    Looks like WAC is getting slower and slower. I filed end of November 2021, got biometrics reused end of April 2022. Still waiting for decision. No RFEs, no interview yet.

    That'a right, I'd strongly advise it. I'd get both passport and passport card. Passport -> get "large" book, same price, but more pages just in case. It's not larger in dimentions, just has more pages for visas, stamps etc. Passport card -> can also be used for proving citizenship. Same size as Green Card. Not so useful for travel (only few places you can use it), but can be helpful if you lose passport and or naturalization certificate. Good luck

    AFAIK you cannot have copies. If you lose it or damage the original, you'll have to pay $555 and go through process to get a new one.
  23. OldUser
    Yes

    You can find answers about next steps after naturalizing here: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/new-us-citizens In short: update status in SSA, notify employer, also get passport. The reason to get passport (and card ID) is to have additional proofs of your citizenship. Also, it takes months to get US passport, so it would be a good idea to get it done sooner. You are required to leave and re-enter USA on US passport.
