vivi: The best way to know whether one needs to file a waiver is first to file I-130. Once I-130 is approved and visa becomes available and visa interview is set at the Embassy, the Embassy captures the applicant's biometrics and conducts extensive background check. This is where the...

The N-600 does not apply to the guy; however, if you are interested in the 18 years requirement, here is the child citizenship which est. the N-600. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1312.html Also it is important to note when the act took effect.

Newacct: The guy is a citizen at birth. At the time of birth, his mother was us citizen. He does not need to do the N-600 because the N-600 is for childs whose parents were greencard holders at birth but later became citizen. These children didn't acquire citizenship at birth, but can acquire...

Be consistant and honest

I would like to clarify the difference between the N-600 Process and the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CROBA). The N-600 is for children who did not acquire citizenship at birth. For example, if your mother had a Greencard at the time, you were born and she naturalized after you were born...

Hwtruong, Your situation is little bit complicated. On the N-600: You can apply it from Canada, (send in the paper work to uscis local office) but you must come in to the US for interview, and you must come in with legal admission. However, it requires that you are under 18 years of age. On...

They all had their own I-130 approved, but how can I challange them? It will take years. I think it is easier for me to wait for their process to complete and have the children come with their mother...Will seee

Jack You can see the details in the thread; basically, My wife's medical has expired and my children's medical is still good un Jan 21. So when I asked the embassy if I can go ahead and do the medical for the wife they are saying an officer has to review the case. So I was wondering if the...

Thansk everybody for the responses. I think consular officers do not interpret the law. They have their own lawyers they consult. In this specific situation, before I petititioned for my stepchidren, I did some research and concluded that the stepchildren could not travel without their...

Does anyone know if embassy officials have the authority to extend expired medical exams? My family is quite large about 6 people. The embassy is telling me that their medical has expired and they can not issue visa due to that. But they are telling to redo it. They are telling me an officer...

I wish your statement was correct. My family had their interview, and as it turned out my research was right. Once their processing was complete, my children were told they could not travel without their mother. Their visas are on hold now as I write. The conclusion is step-parents can...

If your extray show spot, the doctor has to culture it, which means you will to wait 8 weeks for your test results to be submitted to the embassy. Also your medical results will have three months validity as opposote to six months. My best advice to you is to do your medical exam 2 1/2 months...

Kc1202: The laws governing immigration are very complex. If you marry a US citizen, the us citizen can sponsor you and your children. The only condition for your children is the marriage creating the stepchildren must take place before the child's 16th birthdate. In your situation, you...

The wording of your post is kind of confusing. From what I understand, your cousin is a Vietnamese female. She is married to US citizen and they have a child together. Since you are posting your post on this immigration forum, I don’t think you are seeking advice on repairing the...

Thank big joe....Everything is clear. My stepchildren's visa petition is approved by the uscis processed by NVC and have an appointment in July 30. There is no issue at all with the marriage time I got married before thier 16 th birth day. The reason I want to stagger is because of school...

Thank Jack...Everything is fine. I have filed separate petition for each child. It has been approved. My stepchildren are 18 and 17. My biological children are 3 and 4. So I wanted to bring the stepchildren first, and then the mother and my biological later. All of them have their...

Hello forum members, I have a question regarding my step-children. My wife and step-children are approved for I-130. I am wondering if my step-children can first come without their mother. Any experience please chime in...

USCIS does not always delay cases. The problem is with the FBI fingerprint(background check) or name check. If both of these are clear, then contacting the Ombudsman or senator is helpful. If your case is pending with the FBI, which I suspect in your case, then you will have to wait....good...
