I still have the files for all the steps in my wife’s process from the I129F through the N400. Her CoN is in a safe along with a copy of it just in case. Sometimes I actually reference some of the files when answering questions here on VJ even though the forms have long since been updated multiple times, but most of the content is still relevant. I cannot image what would possess someone to shred their CoN.

Side note, back prior to my 21st birthday, even though I looked older, I was never able to buy booze (I guess I have an honest face). The day I turned 21, I had to go to three different stores before someone asked to see my ID.

Could be implications for the child if the mother is found guilty of the immigration fraud. Definitely lawyer territory if this scenario is real. Questions I would have is did the child come with the mother on the F1, or were they petitioned by the step-father after the marriage?

Shouldn’t be a big issue. How long are you planning on staying?

Hard to say if the consulate will request a joint sponsor (I am not familiar with Bangkok). I would have your mother fill out an I864A since you live in the same household just in case. Good Luck!

Ok, that is new information, so yes, you may want to update the information on that progress. Good Luck!

Personally, I would only provide that if a new address is secured and definite. No need to offer any information not asked for. Good Luck!

You can only answer it with what you absolutely know at the time you fill out the DS260. If something changes between filling out the DS260, and the interview, you can inform the CO at the interview. Good Luck!

I think everything is done via kiosks now, but not entirely sure. On my last few international flights, I did not see anyone passing out entry slips to fill out. Good Luck!

Wait, I thought you married one of the 12 women from Pitcairn Islands? 🤣

And watch the media spin this. I know, apparently the Russians did not do it right back in the 20th century.

About 42 F22’s. i like the F22 more than the F35.

As to the OP’s situation, if the DoS returns the application, it appears they can simply sign the NC when it is returned instead of needing to file an N565.

Yes, not a big fan of handing someone my phone. That is a real good point. A lot of things are tied to the DL number, not so much tied to a PPC number. I may need to start using my PPC more often just as a simple form of ID.

Bet these aren’t the only ones out there. Two Chinese nationals arrested for spying on US Navy personnel and bases FIRST ON FOX: Two Chinese nationals face serious charges after they allegedly acted as agents of the People's Republic of China’s government to collect intelligence about U.S. Navy service members and bases, while also recruiting other military members to carry out tasks for the country’s main foreign intelligence service, the Ministry of State Security (MSS). The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Chinese national Yuance Chen, who resides in Happy Valley, Oregon, and Liren Lai, who traveled to Houston on a tourist visa in April 2025, were arrested on Friday. Both individuals face charges of overseeing and carrying out various clandestine intelligence tasks in the U.S. on behalf of the Ministry of State Security. Along with assisting with the recruitment of potential MSS assets and gathering intel about service members and bases, the two men are accused of facilitating a "dead drop" payment of cash on behalf of the MSS. https://www.foxnews.com/us/two-chinese-nationals-arrested-spying-us-navy-personnel-bases

Interesting. I guess the NC is treated much like a PP. I think I was reminded six or more times to make sure my PP was signed before my flight on a recent overseas trip.

Are you a derivative on someone else’s I130?

I was thinking that as well, but the timeline looks a bit suspicious (March overstay triggered, get married in July while overstaying).

Interesting how things are run differently at different field offices. In Detroit, certificates are signed at check-in,

I have a card as well, but have yet tried to use it. I suppose it is not entirely common to see someone using a PPC as a regular form of ID although it is valid. I am curious why the PP and the PPC have different numbers.

Hard to say, but could be a tough hill. Like what @Boiler said, it is what it is, a lawyer cannot really change that. Good Luck!

This is pretty interesting. If my memory serves, the NC is signed at the oath ceremony during the check-in process, and the USCIS clerks running the oath are pretty good at making sure everyone signs. It is likely the passport application may be rejected for either or both missing signatures, and hopefully they tell you why. If rejected for the missing signatures on the NC, you may need to file an N565. Let us know how everything goes. Good Luck!

Kind of off topic, back in 2015 when my wife AOS’d there were many interview waivers out there. We had an interview, and she got her GC in about five months from filing the I485. Those with interview waivers were seeing more like 12-14 months to get their GC, and some VJ members were opining how to switch from a waiver to an interview.

Thanks for the updated info.
