US Immigration from China

Hello everyone, I haven't posted here for a while since I became a U.S. citizen in 2017, but given all the recent stories in the media, I'm curious to find out here about everybody's real life experiences.

For example, I just saw an immigration attorney's video (Jim Hacking) on YouTube that says there have been an increasing number of naturalization applicants that have got their applications denied, and then have their Green Card called into question, sometimes based on minor discrepancies in previous immigration paperwork... It's certainly concerning with all the high profile immigrants-related news stories coming out these past 2 weeks, but I also remembered that some of the stories I heard during his first term were either exaggerated or reported with missing details by liberal media outlets. I was also naturalized during Trump's first term: there was delay in the process experienced by all applicants, but my general experiences dealing with USCIS didn't differ from that during the Obama administration.

Nevertheless, the messaging on USCIS' official instagram page certainly changed dramatically right after his 2nd term began. That page has always focused on sharing filing tips and procedure changes as well as photos taken at naturalization ceremonies, throughout both his first term and Biden, but now it shares a lot of, for lack of a more proper word, propaganda-ish content. Therefore, I want to see if everybody's real life experiences with USCIS are also truly different from before.

Wife received her US citizenship/passport about 2 years ago. She applied and received a Family Visa for visits to China of up to 6 month duration. When she applied the Chinese consulate cut the corner off of her Chinese passport to invalidate it because they do not allow dual citizenship. She now regrets it. Wish she had just stayed a permanent resident. She wants to move back to China long term. Is it possible for her to get her Chinese citizenship back? I assume she would have to renounce her US citizenship? Is there any way to go back to being a permanent resident/ Greencard holder and keeping Chinese citizenship?

Hi,

I am a US citizen, and I filed I-130 for my wife who lives abroad. We got married online, and I visited her afterwards. When I filed I-130 online at last March, I included visiting photos, several airplane tickets from when we traveled together after marriage, and wedding pictures.

The whole I-130 process takes so long that I have now even completed the ITIN application for my wife, and this year I am filing tax return as married filed jointly. I heard tax-return is very strong bona fide evidence. So I wonder should I add it to the original I-130 application? I don't know if this will cause my case to re-enter the queue or cause any sort of delay? Or maybe I just leave as is?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

My granddaughter got her LPR and green card when she was three years old. Now she's 12. I just sent in the i-90 yesterday (for renewal) with a copy of her old card. I didn't see anything about a current photo being required for additional information to submit. We will be traveling this summer so I assume that the receipt I will be getting and old green card will be enough. At some point though do I need to send in a new photo? Is that a separate process?

Thanks for your help!

My wife arrived in USA with a K Visa in December of 2021. We married in January of 2022.

I learned that she is unfaithful by many men in January of 2025 with messages from the relationships dating back to September of 2022.

I have decided we will divorce as she has been unfaithful, deceiving and dishonest. Divorce will be complete in the next two months. (Approx. March 2025)

After uncovering the disturbing details of her multiple secret relationships, I do not believe the marriage has been in good faith since the beginning.

I understand there is a 10-year window in which I am her sponsor, and I am responsible for her financial well-being.

Note, I have paid for all the family bills since day 1. Due to lack of living expenses, she has been able to accumulate a substantial amount of USD ($$) in her bank account.

She currently holds a W-2 job in USA @ $55,000/Year. Pays Taxes.. ect...

What do I need to do to protect myself. I have been scammed.

Thanks!
