IF your case will be sent by the US Postal Service then you can use the USCIS's Dallas, TX 75266 address since they have access to their P.O. Box.
IF your case will be sent by FEDEX, UPS etc then you will send your case to the Lewisville, TX 75067 address.
The fee is $340.00
Confirmed!

omg for real i could call them and ask?
hmm that sounds perfect to me.
i didnt even think about it .
thank you
Yes, you can call them from 8am to 8pm Mon-Fri. 1-800-375-5283
When you hear the greeting, press "1" to continue in English, then press "2" to follow up on your case, and in order to speak with a representative, press "6".

I have not heard about that before but I'm not surprised. The USCIS gets confused sometimes you'd be surprised.
Important thing is at least both copies have the same case number. Congrats on receiving your NOA 2.
-
I don't know how valuable it is but I'd say be proactive and not reactive. Do not wait until you get an RFE. You should call USCIS and explain, let them tell you what to do. You might be able to send the letter to them with a copy of your NOA 1 as an addendum.

If the child isn't considered an orphan by US immigration law the adoption is a worthless piece pf paper. The child has to be orphaned to to adoptable for immigration purposes. Otherwise the child is stuck in Nigeria , adopted or not.
You are right, but the OP's adopted child falls under the immigration definition of orphan. Check out the link http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=474fb881905b3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=474fb881905b3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD
An LPR is permitted to petition an adopted child. It is under immigration by adoption, other adoption related immigration. I am not sure if it will work for this case. First the mother is still alive so the child is not an orphan, second there is a two year prior legal and PHYSICAL custody requirement and it seems that the OP say he just adopted the child before leaving Nigeria ( major major red flag, it looks like he got his visa and suddenly wanted to bring non related family members). He just arrived recently and stated that he pays expenses but another relative cares for the child physically.
In the above link being a LPR is not stated as a requirement for immigrating an adopted orphan. From what I understand through the link, the OP first has to be a citizen to start this.
-
That article is about citizenship of an overseas child. He needs adoption rules Adoption data
The OP said the child is already legally adopted. The link was to show that the OP muust be a citizen and the conditions to be met by the adopted child for eligibility.

Reconsidering the I-129F was likely just in due course but the misinformation would be from ignorance not intent. You could also have the straight scoop. We'll just have to wait and see. I just see the consulate having a tough time issuing a spouse visa based on a petition full of statements about being unmarried. It's possible only if USCIS takes some extraordinary administrative action to provide the authorization for Consular processing of a spouse visa based on such a petition. I know the same form has been used for the K3 for years but it's not completed with the same information. Nothing YOU or YOUR SPOUSE signed in the package indicates you're married.
Update! The USCIS is confused...
I called the USCIS today to follow up on my cases. They repeated what they told me last time but then I asked how they were going to do it when the I-129F forms said I am single and the rep was like "Oh! it's not for a K-3?!
" I told him the original petition was for a K-1 and I wonder how they are going to convert it into a K-3. The rep told me they thought it was originally a K-3 (Dont ask me where they got that "revelation" from). Bottomline, the rep told me to mail a copy of my I-129F NOA 2 with a cover letter to the Vermont center asking them to cancel it as it is not for a K-3. Pushbrk you were right. What a waste of time!

Sorry, some part of it was cut off, try this..

Thank you for your reply:)
How about adding name of the benificiary? is it possible for them to change it in their system?
When you first filed the petition, you put in the name of the beneficiary right? You are the petitioner and your spouse is the beneficiary, so you must have put that the beneficiary's name in the appropriate pace in the forms you filled otherwise, your petition would have been rejected from the on start. They can change some information such as address change, mis-spellings, etc when properly notified by you. If this does not answer your question you need to clarify more on what you mean by "adding name of the beneficiary."

Sorry if I sound naive but I find it very difficult to believe a USC will go through the whole expenses and troubles involved in getting an alien over here and then not want to be responsible for their baby (I might be wrong). If he satisfied the 2 year meet-in-person thing, signed affidavit of support, payed for the documents and tests needed, payed for the flight, and payed for everything else when she came over, it sounds like he should be responsible enough to continue to meet expectations (although not always true and I might be wrong). We are only hearing one side of the story, what reasons did your cousin give you for her husband's sudden nonchalance? Once again, I might have it all wrong. My advise would be to contact a lawyer and see how her case stands.

(F) , THANK YOU GUYS. GOOD LUCK TO THE JOURNEY.THOSE WHO REPLIED NON SENSE, GOOD LUCK AND HOPE YOU WONT EXPERIENCED USCIS DAMN PROCESSES AND MAKES YOU WAIT LONG FOR NOTHING. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS
I feel your pain! All the insults upon an existing injury. But just for future reference, anytime you start a topic, brace yourself as it can veer off in directions you never imagined. This might not be your last encounter, but learn from it. Good luck.

hi - what does OP means?
OP = Original Poster (the one who started the topic) or Original Post. In this thread, you are the OP

this happened to me exactly. we filed for k1 visa when i was almost, if not 2 mos pregnant, and it only took us a little less than five months to be approved. i flew to u.s. when i was 7 mos along and had our baby here in u.s.
my fiance that time (now my husband) wrote a letter to expedite my case beens i'm pregnant, but don't know for sure if that really helped to speed up the decision to my application.
It is known that they dont expedite cases because of pregnancy, or else, everyone would be pregnant at filing. You probably got lucky or something. I wish the OP luck, but dont be surprised.

Look Tero, the tabs are a complete waste of time--they remove them and throw them away. They really don't care in what order you put things. They will scan and reorder everything to suit themselves, and believe me, they know a tax transcript when they see it and can tell it from a bank statement. And as to highlighting, maybe you got lucky, but others won't, and they will use a color that causes problems, and also just because it copied as light gray for you does not mean that it will do the same with their scanners. It all depends on how the contrast is set. I can tell you with almost 100% assurance that I can take your documents and scan them so that they are unreadable--why would anyone ever take that chance?? You are sounding a little bit stubborn--you need to be really flexible and accommodating to get thru this process without too much stress--start now with the easy stuff.
I am not being stubborn, just relayed what I did that's all. Like I said before, I see your point and you are correct. Please don't take it personal. Are we cool? 
-
They will have to remove the tabs in order to scan the documents, and highlighting shows up either as a big blur or black when scanned, obfuscating the very information you were trying to highlight. Scanning changes everything, so any information you have to the contrary about assembly, throw it out.
Tabs are not hard to remove, and if anything, they'll help them sort out the forms better. That way they know which bundle is your proof of Phone and email communications, which bundle is your tax transcripts, which bundle is your finances etc...
I see the point with the highlight though, I used a light lemon highlight (which comes out as light grey on the copy) both times to show relevant travel amongst the unrelated ones, and also phone conversations between us from the rest of the log.

Good day guys. We are under AWA. and after 3 yrs and 8 months of waiting, both i129f and i130 denied.
Guys, they send as denial letter and we have till March 10 to appeal. Hubby will going to take the polygraph test and will gather the paperwork. Guys, please we need your opinions and advise.
The main question we would like to ask is ,
Do we need to appeal both i130 and i129f or just one petition? Please guys need your help badly.
:help:Brucelene
So sorry to hear that. I am assuming you went for the K-3 visa. What was the reason you were denied? You should get your congresspersons involved right away.

Do not staple. Do not hole punch. Do not add tabs. Do not HIGHLIGHT anything. Do not put into separate folders. Keep photos completely separate--do not staple them to any of the forms--a plastic baggie is handy.
Everything is disassembled at the processing center and scanned and then reassembled and stapled in the order that they prefer--probably not in the order you sent it in, so don't make it hard for them.
What's wrong with using tabs and highlighting?
-
It is better to go ahead and file for a K-1 now. If born in the Philippines, the baby will be a citizen once you can prove a paternity test that he baby is yours. But your case will not be expedited simply because your fiancée is pregnant.

question...
If the petition is sent back to USCIS or NVC for further review.And the process or review is done/settled, are they going to update it in their system? or whatever changes, they just note it with the petition?
Any information is greatly appreciated....
Of course anything the USCIS/NVC does on your petition has to be updated on their systems. They have to have a complete history of activities on your petition. They will let you know when they got your petition back and also let you know their final decision.

Be sure you have proofs or your marriage (marriage certificate) before you file.

I know we still have time but I am still trying to get everything together we need as soon as possible. As far as financials go what do I need to send her for the interview. I have been told a few different things from only a few pay stubs to 3 year tax returns, I have all my w2 for the past 21 years since I have been at work but I do not have 3 years tax returns (but I did file them) and have not filed yet for 2010 cause I owe. Second part of question is letter from employer UPS does not have a letter head (for outside company use)my boss will sign a letter stating I have been there for 21 years and my salary information just not on a company letter head is this acceptable? Sorry I should add this is for the K1 visa. Thanks for all the help Daniel

Also, I do not know how difficult your consulate is but it should not be hard to at least have your company's logo of some sort on the letter. This would make is look more official and less forged.
wondering for the review

As long as you have notified them and they said they'll take care of it, you have nothing else to worry about. They have your info updated on their systems. Good luck on the rest of the process.
