US Immigration from Germany

Hello,

i am italian citizen and i live in Germany my boyfriend lives in LA and has US citizen. We want to marry and i want to join him in USA. As a European i have Etsa but i am mot sure if we are allowed to marry when i will be there. If we apply with Fiance Visa how long does it takes time? Which way faster Fiance or marrying and after joining?

Hi,

My husband (conditional LPR) and I (US citizen) are in a stressful situation this weekend and was hoping some folks here might know the answer to some of our questions.

We filed for removal of conditions in September 2021. We got a RFE a few months ago saying that since so much time has passed since we filed that, they want recent evidence that we continue to be married.

We stupidly wrote down the wrong due date for the RFE response, and when we went assemble our response packet this weekend, we saw that the due date is actually this Monday (the 3rd, tomorrow). We scrambled as fast as we could on Saturday, but missed the last pick-up for FedEx express/overnight.

The RFE says we should send our response to the field office in Portland, OR.

We're not super optimistic about this, but our plan at the moment is to drive the couple hours to Portland on Monday, and see if we can drop it off in person. If the guard does not let us do that, we'll ask the guard if couriers are allowed to deliver to the field office and what address they should use. Then we'd call a local same-day local courier in Portland to take the packet from our hands inside the building.

So, a couple questions, for anyone who has an idea about one or more:

1) Does anyone know whether the Portland field office has any way for people to leave mail in some kind of drop box?

2) Does anyone know whether a local courier would be able to drop something off when we are not?

3) The RFE says "You must send the requested information by mail to the address shown below by July 3, 2023." . Is there a chance they mean that it needs to be postmarked by July 3rd and not necessarily received by then?

4) Somewhat similar to the above, does USCIS ever consider things that arrive a day after the due date?
5) If the removal of conditions application is denied because of this, what happens next? Does my husband need to leave the country immediately? Can we re-apply through an I-130 petition?

Thanks for any help/guidance you can provide. This has been an incredible stressful and scary weekend for us.

We submitted all documents, and it shows everything was accepted.

But we received a note saying:

Please submit every 2022 W-2, 1099 for [my wife].

Because my wife is a student/contractor, but for 2022 she didn't receive any pay. For 2022 she only has a 1099 and no W-2.

We have a joint sponsor:

We have lawyers that are helping us, but now it is the weekend, and the 4th of July is coming up, and we are not sure what to do.

Should we submit an inquiry or not?

My old (German) Passport was about to fall apart to an extend that some immigration officers in the past took a doubtful / second look at is as it's in pretty bad condition

Long story short - I spent the past 3 weeks in Europe and applied for an new Passport that was approved, printed and handed over in less then a week.

Now here's my question! Do I need to let USCIS know about my new Passport?

The only reason I'm asking is that I noticed that the Passport Number# does not stay the same over the years.

Thanks!

How long does it take to receive the GC & SSN in the mail after entry into the U.S? Is there a way to track this stuff? Bit of background - we paid the mandatory immigrant fee a few months prior to my husband's arrival to the states and when completing the I-130/I-130A application he selected to have his SSN generated upon arrival to the U.S. He came in on a CR1 visa and after our 2 year anniversary. Forgive me for not knowing all the proper terminology on here. Kinda sending a quick question to the forum. Thanks y'all in advance!
