Lets just start a "Bash Nahal Kazemi" thread and get it over with. There everyone can discuss what an inhuman monster she is, threaten her job, and make accusations of discrimination against her at will. Seems to be a growing community here in MENA.

OPs that was a big Ops left out... need B2 visa, probably won't get it, so continue to visit her in Canada.

You do have to file even if you live in a foreign country, if you work for the government or business that is located in the United States then the first 80K rule is correct as is my understanding, however if you are not working for the government or an american country the 80k rule does not apply as is MY understanding, but for certain you are supposed to file each and every year even if you do not make any money.

The "follow to join " benefits would have to be completed prior to his 21st birthday.

Many people in the DR use the English FB. I wouldn't take it as "proof" it wasn't real.
And I'm trying not to be judgmental, but my family is of a similar culture (Puerto Rican... and I don't know if you're aware of this but a common scam among Dominican men is to "fall in love with" and marry a Puerto Rican, who is a US citizen, and eventually split), and yes, if I were you I would really, really believe this to be true. The fact that your sister said he'd benefit would raise a huge red flag for me as well.
But if you've known him for years and trust him, well at most have a talk with him about it and ask the person for "proof"... and get a prenup, just in case.

I dunno, Kim...are you sure you're just not too scared to see the proof?

I beg to differ. We conduct multi million dollar transactions using computers now. Don't tell me that the system could not be trusted. Millions of people use online payment and banking right now. Security would be no factor. This only involves transfer of low sensitivity information. No billion dollar transactions. I work for the US Postal Service. 90% of what we do involves printing barcodes and ID tags on the letters that come through our processing plant. This can all be avoided by setting up small kiosks in each local post office with machines that you could type the ZIP CODE of your destination and a small label would be printed with a laser, cutting out 90% of the processing time in postal processing plants. Technology RULES the world!!! Simple idea; massive rewards.

I read your story.
Going to the consulate to see about child support was a waste of time. The consulate is part of the US Department of State - an agency of the US federal government. Family law in the United States is regulated by each state - not the federal government. The way US laws work, any authority not specifically given to the federal government by the Constitution is reserved for the states.
In order to get child support you need an order from a family court judge. This is usually a routine part of a divorce settlement, but you and the father aren't married so there won't be any divorce. In that case, you'd need to file a suit against him for child support in family court. The suit should be filed in the jurisdiction where he lives. You'll also need to prove paternity. Unless you have a copy of the DNA tests from the CRBA process, you'll need copies of the CRBA's. Since you can't go to the US and file this lawsuit yourself, you'd need to hire an attorney in the US to represent you. In all likelihood, you can expect this to cost several thousand US dollars, minimum. Unless he's got a very good stable income then it might not be worth the cost and effort. If you were actually IN the US then there are government agencies that would assist you in obtaining a support order.
Now here's the really tough part - family courts in many states will issue a wage withholding order for child support automatically. This forces his employer to withhold the child support payments from his checks and forward them to a government agency to be distributed to the custodial parent. However, that government agency won't automatically send the money to a custodial parent living abroad unless the state has a reciprocal support enforcement agreement with the country where the custodial parent lives. No states that I'm aware of have such an agreement with Vietnam. To cap it off, there's a federal prohibition against government agencies sending payments to Vietnam. A US citizen can't even get their Social Security checks forwarded to Vietnam without special permission, and even then the checks would be sent to the US consulate for pickup.
In other words, you could spend a lot of time and money obtaining a support order only to find out there's no way you can force him to send you the money.
Your children are US citizens. You should try to get new passports and CRBA's issued for them. The consulate should be able to help you with this. If they ever decide to travel to the US then they'll need an exit visa from the government of Vietnam.
Unfortunately, unless your children go to live in the US before they are 14 years old then they will never be able to sponsor you for a visa. In order to sponsor a relative a US citizen must have lived at least 5 years in the US, at least 2 of those years before they were 14 years old.

Status, she has none. She has overstayed her 194, and she did not AOS.
No, you can not sponsor her for AOS, but you can file for a CR1, which she will have to interview for back in the Phil.
Yes, she will have a 10 year ban, and will require a waiver.
Are you'll willing to have her be illegally for the rest of her life, so you'll must start somewhere. There is no way around this, good luck on your journey.

Only using samples from VJ is called biased sampling, which does not give an accurate sample of all visa applicants. This would be skewed rather than symmetrical.
Also, in statistics it is not 98% accuracy, it is "there is a 95% probability that the number will fall within a cetain range"(e.g. between 5 and 9). Probability is the likelihood of something happening or being true.
This is some of the ways statistics are easily mis-intrepeted to fit someones purpose.
