sorry I meant my 4 children were unmarried

I don't know how US deals with grandchildren but Canada deals with them perfectly. I still stand by my earlier thought and you have to google, you know. Ask NVC too. By the way, what is your PD?

Any kids above 21 years without CSPA protection slid off your petition. I have a son 21 years plus 7 months that wouldn't be going with me again that will qualify for f2b. Your kids will go to F2b if unmarried but F2b doesn't have derivatives so their kids can't go with them.. And if married they will only wait till you become a citizen and you file for them under F3. F3 allow derivatives.

nowhere:

After you have migrated, and you've become a citizen, you file F3 for him. You said you were married and unmarried.....

nowhere:

If you're already in the US, do AOS then.

Don’t have the power to start gathering document for a new filing... will rather wait for consular

Lee1303:
1. My dad lives alone he actually filed for me and my siblings. We actually 3 and all of us have children the children in total are 7 plus us so we are all 10 in number. My dads income is 36,000 but we all have one joint sponsor my brother and his wife. My brother has two properties pls can it cater for the 10 of us ? My brother had 5 children in his house

2. Since we all have different I-130 and we all got different interview dates will it be judged according to the principal applicants and its derivatives? I mean my little sis who has only one child will she be granted the visa since my dad income can cater for her and her child or all us will be judged together?
please answer both questions above

your dad is going to need more than 1 joint sponsor that’s a lot of people intending to migrate.

If his kids are older than 21 after cspa he will have to file for them when he migrates. Since they are unmarried they will fall under f2b, and their children will be their derivatives. If they get married at any point under f2b they lose their status, except they are divorced by the time their priority date becomes current.
F2b can have children has derivatives.

What do you mean by AOS and when is my priority date expected to be current.

Mumagain:

Affidavit of support. It could mean adjustment of status, this is for folks already in the US with another kind of visa, maintained status and who have a path to permanent residence and who do not want to go through consular processing. Those who are current for documentation..... OCT 01, 2007. This is not being current for interview ooo. You still have like 4 or 5 years!

The visa they put in your passport after approval is not the GC. You must enter the US before the expiry date on that visa. Once you arrive in the US it is then stamped. After that you wait for the actual GC which is a card , it will be posted to your address that you indicated.


Maintaining your LPR status has its own regulations, you are not expected to stay extended periods outside the US since it is to be your private residence. Some POE may quiz you, however it is only a judge that can cancel it.
Typically no more than 6months out of the US , if you want to spend up to a year outside the US then there's another application you can make so that you can do that officially and get a SB1 (returning resident visa)

That isn't true, the CBP officer has the power to decide if your primary residence is outside the US and revoke your GC.

Yeah!

Ok. Same day I was given. My PD is Feb 12 07

Ajenikoko89:

Let just hope that they are all attended to before the 60days expiration.

Are our embassies really doing their best to clear the backlogs so that we can reunite with our family members. This processing is really taking long.

Be patient bro. Just occupy your mind with some other concerns.

TWoods:

Nope, CBP can start proceedings but the decision on revoking is only by Immigration Judge after findings have been made so they CBP cant revoke your GC

So why do people seek for Sb1? Immigration judge isn't at the borders.

Hello everyone here

Please my dad filed a petition for my siblings and I. As unmarried son and daughter above 21. My elderly sister who is married decided not to inform NVC of her marriage because of her own reasons.She still uses my dads surname but has a marriage certificate. Is there anyway the embassy will investigate to find out if she’s is legally married. She is not using her husband’s name. Does the embassy really do this investigation at the court?
She’s is actually 40 years with 5 children. Will her age and number of children raise any concern to investigate about her marital status?

No one can answer the question on whether or not the embassy will do an investigation. They have the ability to do it, and your sister was supposed to disclose that she is married. Obviously you are aware of the risk of the embassy finding out, I guess she will find out at the time of interview if the did or didn’t do an investigation

She wan live in the US alone?

No but she doesn’t want to wait longer here. Please what are the risk involved?

Lee1303:

So how would she defend the fact that she had marriage certificate that predated her interview? And 5 children?

Lee1303:

Depends on whether she wants to keep up the lie, which is hard to do. If she is discovered it will be misrepresentation and that's cancellation.
Even if she keeps up the lie, will her children do the same?

If she does get the visa , her husband can not go, she will have to get there, wait and all of a sudden come back to nigeria (remarry him) then go back and file for him and somehow prove that she just happened to have met him after visas were approved. If that goes through it could take about 2-3 years for him to join.

So that's her choice - it's risky.

She risks losing her green card, even citizenship, depending:

She’s not planning of taking the marriage certificate to the interview
