  1. If you completed DS-3025 with all vaccinations, you don't need to do I-693. Am I missing something?
  2. She must be living in marital union for 3+ years when applying for N-400 under 3 year rule. Would she be living with you for 3+ years physically together when applying 90 days early?
  3. ~ Topic was moved to Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America because OP is a US citizen ~
  4. I believe it. I also believe most of detained people either travelled to destinations deemed unsafe by DOS or have links / posted something on social media affiliating with questionable organizations and groups.
  5. ~ Moved this thread to Bringing Family Members of US Citizens of America ~
  6. Typically you'll receive it in the mail.
  7. Which visa are you trying to get?
  8. Almost impossible to pull off. The good news is, once she enters on immigrant visa, she get it endorsed and it's valid for 1 year for travel.
  9. You can ignore MyProgress. It's notoriously inaccurate. On day of my oath I had it showing 3 weeks until decision on N-400.
  10. Mediterranean bowl
  11. The other option is for you to meet them in a different country where you and they can visit. Somewhere in Europe? Both US and Ukrainian citizens can enter EU freely for 90 days. Another option is Mexico (visa free for US citizens and eTA for Ukrainians). Or Canada (visa free for US citizens and visa required for Ukrainians). Green cards are for living in the US. If they're not going to live in the US, they'll lose GCs eventually.
  12. Essentially, you're validating US embassy's point your parents have immigrant intent. The more they live in the US the better. There is no black and white rule. At any point, CBP may presume they're not residing in the US. If they only spend 4-8 weeks a year out of the US, it would be much harder to accuse them of not living in the US. The closer you get to 6 months a year out of the US, the more probable it becomes CBP asking them about their travel and life in the US.
  13. How did children arrive? Did they have immigrant visas? How old are they? How do they qualify for US citizenship?
  14. Don't overthink. Answer questions directly. Most recently issued visa is J-1 in 2019. If you list B1/B2 from 2014 that could be seen as you hiding the fact J-1 was issued.
  15. No I-130 is needed if parents are coming just to visit. They can apply for B2 tourist visas.
  16. Jim specifically doesn't file visa cases and says all the time he'd have no capabiltity to help anybody detained by CBP. I think he's geniuinely convinced by what he's telling, probably watched / read too much from certain media outlets. OP's family has no red flags I'd be worried about.
  17. He's saying it out of extreme caution. The other reason most of his clients are from countries that were previously on ban list.
  18. Most likely then, you'll have to overcome misrep.
  19. Hmmm, but USCIS stance is you were already legally married. Can a good independent lawyer back in your country research and determine you were not legally married? Then you can use this lawyer's statement and supporting evidence you didn't violate anything. That would be my suggestion.
  20. Yes, if you apply for EAD, you can use that to get driver's license or state ID. EAD is also a federal ID on its own.
