A parent has to sign the forms for your 17 year old daughter. Proof of the fact that she is medicaid is required. You can submit a waiver request and wait for approval. You also can sign and submit the N600 for the 17 year old as she now has US citizenship because of your naturalization.
answered on Jan 4, 2022
The processing times are varying widely now. There are reports of persons getting visitor's visa interviews set for 2023. If you have a medical emergency the situation might be examined with some urgency and early dates set. Good luck.

I did not get my 10 year green card yet but they gave me a 24 month extension.
answered on Dec 11, 2021
It seems as if you filed a joint application for the removal of conditions. That means you and your spouse put the documents in and so now if you file for divorce other documents and information is needed. You should talk immediately with a lawyer to understand all that is needed.

I want to resell some stuff on eBay to make some extra money and pay my taxes. Is there anyway I could do that.
answered on Dec 3, 2021
Your student visa most likely does not allow you to do this type of work. You have to follow the terms of the visa to avoid problems. If you are employed that brings up a lot of issues that may cause problems in the future.
Good luck
