US Immigration from Japan

Hi, all. I had a test and interview today (7/14/2023) and it went well. We found two little mistakes on N400 form I submitted online throughout the interview and the officer was able to fix it with no problem. However, an office handed to me a form that have a few sections marked passed test and a decision cannot be made yet . I would have assumed, as I had submitted all the documents we needed and everything went smoothly, my application would be recommended for approval. Has any of you had same experience? I had my text and interview at Washington DC field office in VA.
thanks!

Hello,

I am petitioning my wife via consular process in Japan, and I am sponsoring her with a joint co-sponsor because of my low income. I am stumped on part 5 question 6 on I-864.

I petitioned and sponsored my ex-wife via adjustment in the US more than 13 years ago, and the question is asking me if I sponsored anyone else that is now a lawful permanent resident.

1.) My ex-wife is now and has been a US citizen for a few years. I sponsored her with a joint sponsored more than 13 years ago. Would I still need to mark "1" and include her on part 5 question 6 when both me and the joint co-sponsor fill in the forms?

I'm assuming this applies if she is still a permanent resident, but as a US citizen does it still apply?

I am applying for Income Driven repayment for my student loans. currently with nelnet.

My wife and I filed a joint tax return. She uses an ITIN.

It says that my wife has to log into studentaid.gove and cosign the request.

will creating the FAFSA account cause any issues for my wifes visa?

Need advice with drivers license!

Has anyone else struggled with getting/ renewing their driver's license?

The background info is: December 2022 I moved to Maryland on k1. Got my Maryland driver's license on AOS in April 2023, BUT it has the expiration of 4 months from the day I get it.

Fast forward 3 months later which is today, I went to renew my license. They told me I need to have my green card to renew it otherwise, even if I renewed it today, it will still expire in a month.

They told me there's nothing they can do about it because the expiration date is what the homeland security gives to the motor vehicle administration.

Has anyone had this issue when trying to renew their driver's license? If so, what did you do to resolve it?? Any help is much appreciated!!!

Hello,

Firstly, I wanna thank everyone for helping out on the beginning of our visa journey, but we are still at complicated roadblocks ahead.

I will be petitioning my wife via consular process in Tokyo, and we are confused on where we should put my wife's name on part 4.

We are both foreign nationals in Japan (I'm US Citizen and wife is Chinese), our marriage certificate, Japanese ID, and residence registration all use her Maiden name and previous family name that is originally written on her passport. Both my children are us citizens with my last name.

We intend to have my wife's ID in the US as her first name and her family name as my last name. However, Japanese law is very picky about documenting foreigners taking up different names other than Japanese.

1.) Do we use my wife's first name and my last name as her family name on #4 part 4 as a formality, or would the USCIS look at this as a discrepancy because all of our supporting documents say otherwise. Or would we have to put that on #5 as other names used. I know we will be facing this same situation on the ds260.

2.) Also on #57, it's instructing us to put her name if her Native language does not use romanized letters, but her passport has her name in both Chinese and romanized spelling. Trick question cause chinese can use letters in very special uses. But generally it doesn't.

Again, big thanks to the community for the support!
