As Halloween is coming, I get the assorted bag of "non meltable candies" that are the big bags in costco or sam's and fill in the space by pouring in the candy to fill the space. I'm sure the kids get a kick out of unpacking it and there is no wasted space. Starbursts , sweetarts, and such. Again spam and vienna sausages, or corned beef are good options for staples.

Bob

Best of luck on your case and congratulations on getting your family together!

Children with IR-2 visas that are:

• under 18 years old automatically acquire U.S. citizenship upon entry to the United States if they reside in the United States with their parents (U.S. government or military personnel residing overseas may qualify as residing in the U.S.).
• over 18 years old become permanent residents and receive a green card.

Children with IR-2 visas who did not automatically acquire U.S. citizenship can apply for naturalization when eligible.

USCIS before your child Immigrates Looks like they gave themselves some wiggle room on the rules. It seems there is some stipulation to citizenship that I can't find for the IR2 visa. The above quote's last sentence sums it up I think.

Bob

Maybe your spouse used a tax program to submit the tax info. In that case there should be an acceptance email from IRS or some notification that it was electronically signed. This may explain why it wasn't. Otherwise, it must be signed.

Bob

Since you are the USC, you'd be responsible for the two year custody, both physical and legal, since You are the one from whom the benefit of citizenship derives. The USCIS made it clear that is the case for us.

Mexico a Hague convention country May want to read up on this. USCIS informed us unless it is a Hague adoption, they wouldn't give any immigration benefits to our NIECE. Since it is your wife's child, the child would be considered a derivative of her and is petitionable in my understanding.

Don't forget the 2x2 pics. Required Docs at SLEC

Check into joining their frequent flyer program, not sure if that'll give you any savings. Usually it costs nothing to join.

I believe the adoption has to be an international one for the child to be issued a US birth certificate and be a USC. If the adoption was local (in beneficiarys country) then the child has no rights as USC. We ran into the same problem with an adoption of my wife's niece and we're having to go through international Hague adoption to take care of the problem. You'd have to petition as a step son , even though he was adopted locally. Best of luck.

Bob

I believe this is a USCIS question. I don't have any experience in this area , sorry.......

Bob

It's sad they're like that with the fees. You can always call them and plead your case..............but bring an extra $70 just in case.

Bob

Many I've heard have a cut on them. If you are worried, call the embassy and they can reseal if they think it's an issue. Better safe than sorry and it'll give you peace of mind.

Bob

Congrats and best wishes for a safe flight....

Yes, as long as her income can support the amount of dependents, then she'd be eligible to be a co-sponsor. Best of luck!!

Bob

Congrats!!!

Bob

Congratulations!! This phase of your journey is closing and the door to your future is opening.......enjoy!!

Bob

The beneficiary will be treated as any other immigrant would be. Nothing was brought up about our 601 or anything, just common conversation while processing. Best of luck!!

Bob

Milner-Markee Firm Tifany Markee took care of our 601. Not sure of your circumstances but she was thorough and very professional. It wasn't cheap but reasonable none the less. She's in San Diego,CA. Can't say enough good.

Bob

Bob

Thanks Penguin!! Many thanks......

Bob

Congrats on one day and successful passing!!! It's all down hill now, hard part should be done.

Just crossing the t's and dotting the i's left now.

Bob

I'm hoping not!!! I think the issue is closed based on the 1st 601 unless the beneficiary has committed the same inadmissability a second time since entering on the visa.
