Visa Process as someone who was adopted

Traveling as someone who was adopted

This might be a complicated question, but I was officially adopted at 22 by extended family who have raised me my entire life. I have an amended birth certificate, but appear on my birth parent’s tax records etc. I’m a US citizen by birth and was born & live in a sealed record state.

I’m moving to a country in the near future where if your parents are from a certain country, then you are under heavy scrutiny and there are lots of extra security measures for you to undergo.

Neither of my adopted parents are from that country, but my birth parents are. To avoid issues, I was planning on simply giving them the information that appears on my amended birth certificate without mentioning the adoption as I don’t think it’s relevant and my adopted parents are my parents.

Is this an okay thing to do? Or will I be technically lying and get flagged in some kind of visa verification process? I don’t really understand what to do and any insight would be great!

To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
