Hard to say in this environment. Would she be deported to NZ? What basis did she have to re-enter the US?

Even if CBP had paroled her in, she would have needed to re-start the AOS filing. Isn't that what we always advise folks that are going through the AOS process in the US regardless of the basis for that AOS. If one leaves the US with a pending AOS and no AP, the AOS package is null.

Except when one leaves the US with a pending AOS and no approved AP. Sounds like it may be very inconvenient for her now.

Yes, you can clarify the DS160 with the updated travel dates at the interview. I am not aware of if you can change/update the current DS160 or if it can be, how to do it (I think there might be a way, but it most likely is a royal pain). Good Luck!

Nope, they are, or were poo.

Never been to DC, but what you described is similar to many large cities in decline.

This one is even worse. What are both parts of a visa? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/nz-woman-detained-in-us-may-be-released-this-week-says-father/3PG6WB7RYNBWZLRWH2H4OEC2NE/

Appears to be a VAWA AOS.

Doesn't seem so. She may want to find a different attorney when this is their advice. So the lawyer is advocating separating families? “I told her, yes, you don’t have a travel document, but you’ve only been gone about a day. Just explain what happened to the immigration officials.” Although Shaw lacked a travel document, her son Isaac had one, according to Thorward. “There was absolutely no reason for him to be detained. It’s unconscionable,” she said.

How could she have a combo card if her AP was not yet approved which is what the next sentence indicates. Not really sure it is the simple administrative error her now attorney says it is.

What the heck does this mean? So did she have AP, or a Combo? I cannot get on social media right now, but when I can maybe there is more to the story than from K5's reporting here. As an aside, this appears to be an issue with looking for a cheap flight as the only reason she went to Canada was to take her children to the airport. Probably should have sent dad, live and learn. “Sarah had been waiting on some travel documents to be approved. But once her visa and her children’s visas were cleared, she felt comfortable taking them to Canada. We assumed everything was fine.”

Hmm, not a lot of synchronized media types talking about this. The other thing these TDS afflicted media types won't do is actually talk to the residents of DC.

I enjoy reading some of the extreme left sites, and of course the Nation never fails to entertain. Leftist approved verbiage, "oligarch", I believe Bernie is on the approval board. I do hope this guy wins, I expect there could be some capital flight. Dallas Stock Exchange? Mamdani’s Victory Over Fear But the oligarchs are hardly the only New Yorkers experiencing fear. The city’s immigrant communities fear for themselves and their loved ones as Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents grab law-­abiding people appearing at the city’s immigration courts for their mandated check-ins. Muslim New Yorkers fear masked ICE agents snatching them in their apartment lobbies or off the streets for their nonviolent activism on behalf of Palestinians. And beyond the warrens of the wealthiest, there is a radiating fear that New York will forever be too expensive for a dignified life. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mamdani-s-victory-over-fear/ar-AA1KnaXA?cvid=780fc0c6a0774762f5fb87ef1afc4c84&ei=5

I was told this never happens. 🤔

Moved to the RUB Regional Forum as this appears to be regional/country specific.

This is what I am seeing on the reciprocity table. I do not see those documents listed. Alternate Documents: For people born prior to 1979 or in some cases prior to 1988, a birth certificate issued by a local government authority or a hospital or a baptismal certificate is acceptable. There is also the National Population Commission Attestation of Birth Certificate issued to people whose birth occurred before 1979 when the National Population Commission issued birth certificate was first introduced as a pilot program. Any of these are acceptable. Good Luck! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Nigeria.html

No, not a requirement for the spouse of someone being interviewed for naturalization to be present at said interview. Good Luck!

This is why I always advocate keeping a copy of the CBP Carrier Guide handy. Airline staff may not have seen an ADIT/I551 stamp before, and may need to be educated. TO the OP, here is the link to the latest Carrier Guide Pg. 10 clearly shows an ADIT stamp as acceptable to allow you to board a flight to the US. Also, don't believe the hype. Good Luck! https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

She can apply for the SSN either before or after the wedding as long as she has more than 14-21 days of validity left on the I94 from her K1 entry. The issue is if she decides to change her name after your wedding, she will most likely not be able to update the SSC with the new name until after she gets either an EAD or her GC. As to working before getting her GC, as @Boiler stated, as long as she files an I765 with the AOS package. Here is the guide you want to become very familiar with. Good Luck!

I find it a little hard to believe that 97% of their wildfires are due to human sources. Lightning plays a huge role based on my experience.

Is there a problem with mailing it to the address specified? Another route would be to make a trip to the US, and then give the form to CBP office when leaving. Good Luck!

This is a great point! I know I prefer a much lower profile!

Based on the information provided, it appears she aged out.

There are a few nuances that could come back to bite this couple. The OP says they disclosed the online marriage to the consulate, but was it disclosed to CBP when attempting to enter on the K1. Usually, when a K1 visa holder requests entry into the US, they get a question about marrying, and information regarding the terms of the K1 visa and the fact that they are not required to actually get married, or forced to be married. How did the OP's spouse respond to those questions when entering on the K1. Did they inform the CBP officer they are already married ? Would they have been allowed entry with the K1, or turned around? We shall see how this plays out. Best case, they only need to include an I130 with their AOS package. Worst case, the IO notices the date discrepancies, and digs deeper.

I agree with the others that this should not be an issue relative to your LPR status. I also agree, you should look to protect yourself by getting a legal divorce. Good Luck!
