Once a person has overstayed his visa and has acquired out-of-status time he is unable to adjust inside the United States unless it is through an immediate relative. To know whether he is eligible for any other immigration benefit requires more information.

You must list all of your children in the form and answer all questions completely.
If you mean include the child for a visa application; No, a USC does not need a visa.

Since you do not provide any specific information on the typo it is not possible to advise you what implications it will have. In general, the approval date on the card is the date used to determine when you are eligible to apply for naturalization. If the date is later than is should be it will... View More

Can I get a visa and travel to the US to wait for my green card approval there?
answered on Sep 27, 2021
No. As an adult sibling you are a priority relative rather than an immediate relative. You must go through consulate processing. The only way you would be able to adjust status in the United States is if you are in the country with inspection and you do not have any overstay or unlawful presence.
answered on Sep 27, 2021
No
Yes
For your previous address try contacting the post office for an address history. If you received mail at the address the post office may have it in your history. You can also check with the DMV, Utility providers.....

Your filing costs for the I-485 are $1225.00 and include an EAD and Travel Document. Attorney fees may vary. I do not quote attorney fees online or to a person without speaking with them either by electronic means or a personal consultation. Each case carries its own set of facts.

First: Your safety and the safety of your child is more important than getting your NATZ sooner rather than later. If you are being abused leave the situation.
Because you have not had your conditions removed you will need to amend your I-751 to a waiver of the joint filing requirement... View More
My girlfriend is pregnant with my child.. She plans to go back to her husband because she is still holding a conditional green card. She wants to put her husband's name on my child. I refuse to have my daughter carry the name of a wife beater.
answered on Sep 20, 2021
You are correct that when a married woman conceives a child the child is presumed to be her husband's child.
You do not need to adopt your biological child. You need to establish paternity.
