I'm still kicking around the idea of completing our I-130 instead of adjusting status in the US. I was wondering how much trouble doing an AOS in the USA is, comapred with flying back to Thailand for a mini-vacation to complete the I-130. The prices are going up so much that both options are in the same ballpark as far as cost in concerned... plane ticket and all...

But if it is pretty simple maybe better to just do the AOS here. That is still cheaper overall, and there is some uncertainty about how long it willl take CSC to forward the already approved I-130 to the NVC....

thanks

Portlander,

Point of clarifications:

- the I-130 was "complete" when it was approved.

- I-751 is for removal of conditions on LPR status, not for adjustment of status.

I wanted my wife to go back to Thailand to get an immigrant visa, but she preferred to adjust status. I wanted a vacation in Thailand, she did not want to go back for a visit.
