    Enumeration Beyond Entry isn't working properly anymore with SSA. Just go to SSA office after scheduling an appointment and get updated social security card without restrictions.

    In my opinion, it's always best to have all the cards and be ready to surrender them VS being asked on spot about cards and not have them... Congrats! And sorry about pain of renewing Cambodian passport. This is unfortunate. Many countries allow doing it even online. Maybe one day...

    Great ! You can use it for sure. If you're thinking of travelling, consider renewing it in October-November this year. Many countries require 6+ months validity to use it for entry.

    Typically unexpired US passport is acceptable proof of citizenship. In very rare cases, you may be asked for other proof such as certificate of citizenship. You only need 1 doc from the list. It's still good to think about replacing certificate of citizenship in the future.

    This is a possibility for sure. Perhaps OP was cornered by ex? E.g. file a case for son else we talk to current family?
  6. OldUser
    OP said his name was on child's birth certificate?

    Sorry, didn't realize you're beneficiary. Now a lot of this makes sense. Still, as an immigrant coming on K-1, there's going to be a period of time when your US citizen fiancé and later spouse will have almost absolute control over your immigration status. You need to ensure they won't stop process due to issues in relationship or financial problems. I'd take time to know your other half as much as you could before committing to this difficult process. If the lawyer is a real lawyer (searchable on AILA), not a paralegal, then sure, listen to their advice. Best of luck!

    Congratulations, thank you for clarifying

    The more you meet the better, of course. What's more important, is it going to be a strong marriage if you only spent total of 3 weeks together?
  10. OldUser
    Probably out of status?
  11. OldUser
    Yes, there are H-1B cap excempt employment visas. But it has to be real organization. You cannot set up one to sponsor a relative and workaround immigration rules.

    I don't think OP's wife or children know about this other child. OP's current marriage may break as well as he may alienate his other children. I'm not sure this is a reward to be honest.

    Well, you probably aged out at the time you filed for adjustment.
  14. OldUser
    You have to read about Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) and how it works. There's calculation which determines whether somebody ages out or preserves their age for I-485 Here's starting point: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa

    Essentially you're asking how to petition a son so that your wife doesn't know about it? It's a bad idea in general. You'll be receiving letters from USCIS, you'll have to disclose your income information and taxes as part of your process for son. Agents even may knock on your door to ask few questions (rare, but happens). No wonder lawyers aren't giving you a clear answer, it would be very unethical and unprofessional. And nobody can give you any assurances it wouldn't be known to your wife and kids.

    And this is good evidence of bonafide marriage. I'd include it.
  17. OldUser
    Probably receipt notice. But could be biometrics appointment invitation or saying it was reused.

    If you don't get any traction, mandamus might be the next step to consider.
  19. OldUser
    Can you send an inquiry? Did you move since filing?
  20. OldUser
    It's unlikely this was the only factor, as some Nigerians do get approved.
  21. OldUser
    She doesn't have to file any other forms. She must never say she's a US citizen or "citizen" - that's a big NO until she naturalizes. You guys should develop marital evidence - add her to lease, bills, bank accounts. File taxes jointly. Save all of these for her removal of conditions and naturalization cases.

    Sorry to hear about denial.
  23. OldUser
    Answer is below: There's no way to guarantee somebody gets US visa.
  24. OldUser
    Because they didn't believe she would leave the US. The high refusal rate for Nigerian citizens is due to high level of immigration fraud and high rate of people overstaying visas in the US. This is why denial rate is 50% as @appleblossom said: every second Nigerian applicant gets denied visa.
  25. OldUser
    Yes, LPRs and citizens don't get I-94. She should create a excel sheet to track all of her international trips moving forward: date of departure from US, date of arrival back and countries visited. She'd need to provide this info when she applies for naturalization.
