US Immigration from Netherlands

As per title. We got DQ'ed today, but the beneficiary wanted to use their married name.

Dutch passport holds both maiden and married name under "surname". Got the new passport before starting the CR1 process.

i130 is filed with married name

DS260 is filed with married name

Then, now after DQ, the beneficiary entry on the NVC website and the notification in email came with the maiden name.

If I go to IV application, it shows maiden name as clickable, then if I open the corresponding DS260 it shows married name.

I am confused why this happened and if this will have any effect on the Green Card. Beneficiary would really like to go by married name.

Did anyone ever experienced this?

Lol, all of a sudden the update of the timeframes webpage shows that they are working on cases from August 17! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

It has been one week processing time for months and now I can finally upload it is one week.

Just submitted everything.

Not an informative post, just frustration.

Weirdest thing on Reddit, OP claims that 3(!!) immigration lawyers told her that when you check that you want to do AOS on your I-130, the foreign national (who is not in the US yet) can fly to the US once the I-130 is completed and start the I-485 as soon as they are in the US. What am I missing?

The foreign national wouldn t have an immigrant visa yet, so would use an Esta (OP mentions they are Dutch) to enter the US and start the I-485.

As per title.

Does the spouse need to provide a W2 in this case? It's unclear to me.

Hi all,

I just submitted the ds260, but I left out a middle name because I ideally don't want it on my GC.

Let's say the name is Joe Maria Theodore Last name, I wrote Joe Theodore Last name.

Will this cause an issue? I really dread having two names and one of them is Maria.
