According to you, you went to Brazil for help with your daughters medical condition, so why are you now telling the US, you need to expedite because of your child's medical condition. Also, you stated that you just left the US in December, and we are still in the month of December. These statements do not coincide with some of your other comments.

Will need supporting evidence, again Darrell is making a big assumption.

First, let get the time table straight, the complete process can take up to 9 months, the 5 months is only the time frame for the petition to be approves. The entire process from beginning to end can take from 9 to 12 months.

You and your USC husband should hav contacted an immigration lawyer. It seems as if the USC is missing out of this picture, you keep addressing conerns around your mother. Your child is a USC and should have a US passsport, your child can return to the US at any time if she/he needs medical care. There is nothing in stopping the USC parent from having the child in his care to assist with providing medical care.
Again, the USC seems to be missing from your conversation/post. It was up to the USC and you to find out how your non-immigratiion status would be affected if you left. The USC drop the ball on this, not the phone rep at USIC.
You knew how to obtain an aun pair and a student visa, so there was some kind of understaning about immigration visas on your part.

You don't owe me or anyone an explanation, but you do owe us the truth when you are asking for advise, so we can give you the best answers possible.

That is what they will tell you. While the circumstances of you coming here was legal, you are now out of status and as such are "persona no grata". You will be told to leave.

Most high end electronics companies warranties are indeed regional or even country specific. Manufacturing specifications for these items often times varies from region to region (or even from country to country) additionally some regions/countries have differing warranty requirements.
If you buy any electronic device in the Philippines/Asia and are bringing it to the US expect that your warranty is worthless once you land here.

Especially with Christmas post, it can easily take a month or more to get the physical greencard. There is no hurry, as the stamp on the visa page in your passport acts as a temporary greencard for one year.

NO, did you read the form yet?

I don't mean to sound callous, but this sounds pretty normal to me. Your step-daughter was very young when your wife left to come to the US. They have no idea if the child standing in front of them is the same child listed on that birth certificate, and any pictures she's got of her with a two-year old child are going to be hard to match up with a seven-year old. It would be different if the child was now fifteen and your wife had left when the child was ten. Presumably, your wife would have ten years worth of evidence to show a relationship with the child, and the CO would be able to recognize both the child and mother in the pictures. Even so, I'm sure the delay in petitioning for her daughter only increases their suspicion.
If I were in your shoes then I would have expected that a DNA test was a very strong possibility. You'd be surprised how many people try to bring a niece or young sister to the consulate and pass them off as their daughter, especially in the Philippines.

It's Bush's fault.

Your license is all you will need for air travel within the US.

Claiming her daughter is not the issue.
It is wanting to bring her to the US and the consequences of all the lies she told under oath.

Ah yes...the ever popular 'family friends'....
they will likely ask about the 'sponsor' and his relationship to you, why he wants to shell out money, etc, just to help his 'family friend.'
Note that a previous poster showed all sorts of alleged reasons why she was going to return...and yet...?
there must be something in the air in the baggage claim area of almost every airport in the US that causes people to change their minds about remaining in the US.....

Huh? Everybody shares/sells?

it's possible he read VJ and saw evthing you posted

You will not be required to submitt 2011 tax as evidene until after April 15, 2012.

Read Jim responds again:
They were recommending that the approval of the petition be revoked, probably because they suspected the relationship was a sham. They do not return petitions to USCIS without denying the visa. USCIS says they were "asked to review" the returned petition, but what they were asked to do was to revoke the approval of the petition. They're accusing your husband of fraud.
You'll eventually get a notice of their decision. If they decide that they disagree with the consular officer then they'll reaffirm the approval of the petition, and it will be sent back to the consulate for another interview. If they decide that the consular officer is probably right then they'll send you a Notice Of Intent to Revoke (NOIR), and give you a very limited window of time to respond. Depending on the strength of the evidence you respond with, they'll either reaffirm the approval or revoke it. If they revoke the approval then your husband will likely be considered guilty of material misrepresentation.
If USCIS revok4 the petition, then it's as if you never had an approved petition, therefore there would be NO petition to have an expiration date. So you will have to start all over from step 1, filing and paying the correct fees.

Jim is correct, Jim replied to cgayle post, not the orginal poster post.
