US Immigration from Uzbekistan

I had my N-400 interview in October 2023. I successfully passed it but the officer told me she can t approve it because my I-751 is still pending. It s been more than 5 months since the interview and nothing has changed: I-751 is still stuck on biometrics and N-400 is on interview scheduled. I submitted an e-request in Feb and got genetic response that the delay is due workload factors not related to my case.

I also reached out to my senator last week, but it did not help.
Anything else I can do? Any advice would help!

My spouse and I currently live together in her home country (Uzbekistan). We plan to get her LPR via consular processing and live here together in the meantime. My spouse has never been to the U.S. before, I have some family obligations (a family reunion and a wedding) back home this summer, so I thought this would be a great opportunity for her to visit and meet my extended family. Given her nationality, she needs a visa, and I thought we had a compelling-enough story to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent (at least at this particular time). Apparently not. She just had her visa interview and was rejected due to a failure to demonstrate nonimmigrant intent. As soon as the consular officer learned her spouse is a USC, the interview was over. Apparently our documents from relatives showing we have a specific reason for a temporary visit, our documents from work showing that we both have permanent employment here, and visa from previous trips to Europe, weren't enough to satisfy them.

How am I supposed to maintain my family ties while living abroad if that means choosing between visiting my family, or being with my wife? I had also put off filing her I-130 in the (mistaken) belief that it would harm her (apparently already doomed) application for a nonimmigrant visa. Visa waiver is not an option given her nationality. Are we basically just screwed in terms of being able to visit the U.S. together until her IR1 visa comes through? I'm just so frustrated right now and not sure what other options we have.

We have met a family that is helping us by providing Nanny care to our toddler son. They came from one of the border towns in Ukraine about 1 year ago. They have no relatives or family here in the US that they could seek to adjust under, just husband, wife and their 9yr old son. We took the immigration journey 10yrs ago on a k1, but have no clue if they have some way to stay and adjust status. Could not quite find the answer in some of the other posts.

Hello please need help with next situation, so I received this message first, what does it mean mine our income not enough? And next is says documentary qualified so what should I do? So I need add joint sponsor to NVC? I m confused maybe anyone had a similar situation?Thank you

My wife (a citizen of Uzbekistan) and I are getting ready to submit our I-130 soon, and as I've been looking into what comes next I learned about the "domicile" requirement that comes into play during the NVC/I-864 stage. I've read a lot of threads on VJ about how people have approached the issue of proving domicile or intent to re-establish domicile, but I still haven't been able to figure out the underlying reasoning behind this requirement.

1. Why is the US Government SO concerned about situations where the US citizen might not have domicile in the US? If a married couple is going through the trouble of submitting a spousal visa application, isn't it kind of obvious that that they want to live together in the US once the visa gets approved? Doesn't all of the proof that goes into the I-130 already demonstrate the couple is in a bona fide marriage?

2. A common suggestion often proposed on the forums here is that the US citizen move to the US several months before their spouse. Doesn't that kind of separation actually call into question the legitimacy of the marriage? Especially if the US citizen currently has the means to cohabitate with their foreign spouse in another country? That is to say, on the one hand couples are expected to provide a lot of proof of being in a real marriage and having spent time together, and then on the other hand they're expected to physically separate for some unknown period of time? I'm sensing some kind of fundamental contradiction here.

For context - I've been living abroad with my partner for the last few years, and we would prefer to not have to be geographically separated for more than a few weeks at a time. In terms of assets and income we're fine for meeting the financial requirements for immigration. Because of all that I prefer not to make overly-binding plans regarding our move back to the US before she actually receives her visa (e.g. signing leases or job offers). Right now I'm just asking these questions so as to better understand the underlying logic of this whole domicile thing, so that we can roughly plan where we need to be in life once the I-130 gets approved.
