Sure, it is relatively common that folks try to expedite. As to results, of course YMMV. Just search here using the VJ search engine with "K1 Expedite", and you should find some threads. Good Luck!

Thanks for the update. It is still too early to tell of course, and considering that the IO did not broach that subject, I would take as a positive IMO. Hopefully everything will be fine for you. Good Luck!

I would apply under the 5 year rule. I believe when filing under that rule all she has to do is provide copies of her current marriage certificate, and any documents showing any previous marriages were ended properly. You should not need the type of evidence showing a valid marriage like you would under the 3 yr rule, but of course an IO could ask about it, so you should have it in the proverbial back pocket. Personally, I would think that being married 9-10 years would be enough evidence. Good Luck!

Up to you, but it appears she will meet the requirements to file now under the 5 yr rule. It appears you have sufficient evidence to show she maintained ties during the last trip lasting more than six months. Good Luck!

I am not sure the expiration date on the NOA2 is really meaningful (i.e., it is not like they will contact you and request a new submission/petition). You may also want to contact your senator(s), and can also try the CIS Ombudsman. As to other things, what consulate will be dealing with the petition eventually? This could be USCIS slow walking the petition headed to a particularly busy consulate. Good Luck! https://www.dhs.gov/cis-ombudsman

The key is being stopped with just an expired GC. Your wife is a valid LPR (not an illegal alien) with valid proof (expired GC with a valid extension letter). I suspect the stories are more about LPRs that left the U.S. for an extended period of time (more than a year), their GC expired, and now they are trying to re-enter. There were stories back a few years with LPRs that were outside the U.S. for more than 10 yrs, coming back and being allowed entry even with an expired GC. I believe there is more of a crackdown on those types of situations. Now with an expired CGC and extension letter, your wife most likely will not be able to use the kiosks at a PoE, but usually there are CBP officials that will direct you and your wife to the proper line for those traveling with extension letters. Good Luck and Safe Travels.

I agree, you can only answer forms with the knowledge you have at the time. Based on what you posted here, it would be hard for USCIS to prove you knew about it when you submitted the N400 (I.e. lied on your form), and reviewed that form at your interview (knowingly lying during your interview). Keep the evidence in your files that shows when you were informed of the situation, and how quickly you dealt with it when informed. Good Luck, and Congrats on becoming a USC.

So these folks are trying to kill the illegal immigrants housed at these facilities? ‘Coordinated and targeted’: 11 arrested in wake of officer shooting outside North Texas ICE facility “This was an egregious attack on federal and local law enforcement officers,” said Nancy Larson, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, during a press conference Monday. “Those who use violence against law enforcement officers will be found and they will be prosecuted with the toughest criminal statutes and penalties that we have available to us.“ On Monday in the South Texas city of McAllen, a man with an assault rifle fired dozens of rounds at federal agents and a U.S. Border Patrol facility, injuring a police officer, before authorities shot and killed him, according to the Associated Press. Authorities identified the shooter as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, believed to be 27, who they said shot at agents exiting the building, which is near the U.S.-Mexico border. In North Texas, court documents claim as many as 12 people dressed in all black were shooting fireworks towards the Prairieland Detention Center on Friday. At least one person allegedly began to spray graffiti, damaging vehicles and a guard structure in the parking lot, according to court records. Correctional officers called dispatch a few minutes later and two unarmed officers came out to the fence line to attempt to talk to the group of people, according to the documents. That’s when the unsealed complaint alleges a person wearing a green mask in nearby woods began “signaling” to the group with a flashlight. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/law-enforcement/2025/07/08/525918/coordinated-and-targeted-11-arrested-in-wake-of-officer-shooting-outside-north-texas-ice-facility/

Hmm, may need to download this app.

Hmm, as usual whenever the Left makes an accusation, you can assume they are actually guilty of it themselves, or at least planning to do it.

If the I129F petition is still with USCIS, you can use the online system. If it has been moved to NVC/consulate you can change it there. Good Luck https://www.uscis.gov/addresschange

Are you the USC or the foreign beneficiary?

Moved to the Philippines Regional Forum as topic is country specific.

This requirement is more simple. All you need to do is write their address in their native written language on a Word document, turn it into a PDF, and upload it. You can provide the address in English on the same document if you want, but this item does not require a certified translation. Good Luck!
