We're at the USCIS stage and waiting for our NVC case number. In the meantime, my wife's tourist visa to visit america expired. Can she renew her tourist visa to visit me in the states? How long can she stay?

I am very frustrated right now. My brother's finance and daughter are to board a flight to the USA on February 3rd. She had spoken to immigration offices near her that said that her daughter does not need an ECC-A because she has a US and Philippines Passport. I also posted the question to the bureau of immigration and there reply is opposite. See below.

I have already had to cancel the flight in December because her daughters US passport didn't arrive yet. That cost me $1000 additional for all the cancellation and charges.

Please Help.

Hi,

I submitted my I-129F back in May of last year, and only got around to making an account here recently. When I got my paperwork together, I remember I had to re-print the last page of the I-129F because of a typo. This is also the same page you pure your signature on. I am fairly sure I signed it again, but I have been paranoid about possibly having forgotten. Everything else was fine. We submitted photos of us together, screenshots of conversations, statements of intent to marry, all the required proof of the relationship. We even included extra documents that weren't required, such as the beneficiary's Certificate of No Current Marriage. If the entire submission is perfect except I forgot to sign it, does the whole thing get rejected or will I just get an RFI? I will literally fly to California to their office to sign it if I have to. I would want to die if we had to start all over again over such a small thing. The wait times are so long

USCIS Redesigns Green Card and Employment Authorization Document

Release Date

01/30/2023

New Features Provide State-of-the-Art Security

WASHINGTON U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today new designs to improve security of Permanent Resident Cards (also known as Green Cards) and Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). USCIS will begin issuing the redesigned cards on Jan. 30, 2023.

The new Green Card and EAD designs contain state-of-the-art technology that continue to safeguard national security and improve service for our customers. Changes include improved detailed artwork; tactile printing that is better integrated with the artwork; enhanced optically variable ink; highly secure holographic images on the front and back of the cards; a layer-reveal feature with a partial window on the back photo box; and data fields displayed in different places than on previous versions.

This redesign further demonstrates USCIS commitment to taking a proactive approach against the threat of secure document tampering, counterfeiting, and fraud, said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. Consistent updates to secure documents, informed by our knowledge of the latest methods of bad actors and the innovation and ingenuity of our staff, ensure the continued integrity of secure documents issued by our agency.

The introduction of the new designs does not mean that currently issued cards are invalid. Current cards remain valid until their expiration date (unless otherwise noted, such as through an automatic extension of a Green Card or EAD as indicated on a Form I-797, Notice of Action, or in a Federal Register notice).

Some Green Cards and EADs issued after Jan. 30, 2023, may still display the existing design format because USCIS will continue using existing cardstock until current supplies are depleted. Both versions of the cards are acceptable for Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification; E-Verify; and Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE). Some older Green Cards do not have an expiration date. These older Green Cards without an expiration date generally remain valid; however, USCIS encourages applicants with these older cards to consider applying for a replacement card to prevent fraud or tampering should the card ever get lost or stolen.

USCIS launched the current cards in May 2017. To mitigate the risk of fraud and counterfeiting, the Document Management Division in the USCIS Office of Intake and Document Production redesigns the cards every three to five years. Redesigning the cards is part of the Secure Identification Platform (SIP) Project. The SIP Project began in 2019 with extensive market research. The USCIS Document Management Division met with key industry leaders and stakeholders to learn industry best practices.
