Certain women are empowered such as those that have a Y chromosome.

Quite a few moving parts to this. Do you and your wife plan to stay in India for 2-3 years? This plan will work for the two of you, but your step-daughter will have a much more difficult time. Normally, I would agree that doing the I407 is the best route for couples planning to reside outside the U.S. for an extended period of time, and then if and when a decision is made to repatriate, a new I130 can be submitted, and the foreign spouse can go through a new visa process instead of trying to maintain their LPR status through re-entry permits or the SB1. However, with your step-daughter it is another story. She already has her LPR status, and with her plans to come to the U.S. for school in 2-3 years it is probably better for her to try and maintain her LPR status through re-entry permits to avoid the pitfalls of trying to get a non-immigrant student visa, or the fairly long time period it would take for her to get a new F1 or F3 family based visa if she wants to repatriate to the U.S. permanently (8-10 years for F1, 14-16 years for an F3). No one can predict what a CO will do with a student visa application in 2-3 years, but convincing the CO that there is no immigration intent is a high bar. In the end, it is up to you as a family to decide. Good Luck!

Yes, she did. I also remember her playing the full victim card as well.

Personally, I would just keep it for yourself and bring it to the interview in case any questions are asked. You can add a short explanation of your current relationship with your foreign spouse with the AOS package, but I would keep your full relationship history for an interview. Also make sure you review that with your current spouse on the off chance you get a Stokes interview, and they separate you. Good Luck!

Sounds like the CO is saying you will need an I601 waiver request to deal with the previous counterfeit document. All is not lost since the CO stated a waiver is possible (refused does not mean denied or revoked), but it will take more time. I suggest researching the I601 waiver form, most folks employ an immigration attorney for this, but I have heard of folks doing it by themselves. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/i-601 https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-prepare-form-i-601-request-waiver-inadmissibility.html

So when will the “Just Stop Oil” folks switch to “Just Stop Breathing/Farting”? The switch is coming I suspect. UK researchers raise alarm that humans are contributing to 'global warming' — by breathing Climate alarmists prone to hyperventilating over the weather might be a part of the supposed problem they otherwise seek to remedy with statist interventions, unreliable energy alternatives, and a healthy diet of bugs, according to a new government-funded study out of Britain. Scientists at the U.K. Center for Ecology and Hydrology have raised the alarm that human breathing is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, urging "caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible." https://www.theblaze.com/news/uk-researchers-raise-alarm-that-humans-are-contributing-to-global-warming-by-breathing

Try putting in your Zipcode here to see if it shows the correct field office. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices If you never presented your passport to enter another country, I would not count it. Read the required and interview evidence requested in the N400 instructions starting on page 10. I assume you are filing from in the U.S., so you only need a copy of the GC and marriage certificate to actually file. If filing online, you can upload the interview required evidence as well. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

I agree, there may be more scrutiny, but I feel enough time has passed, and you successfully naturalized that this scrutiny may not be too bad. Make sure you keep a detailed timeline of your relationship(s) to show this was not the case of getting your LPR/USC status, and immediately turned around to sponsor a foreign spouse. Good Luck!

I agree, thanks for sharing the experience. We seem to be seeing more DCF questions now and this may be very helpful. Good Luck!

If a new employer would not accept the expired GC and I797 extension letter as valid proof of LPR status as shown in things like the CBP Carrier Guide. One could always get an ADIT stamp for valid proof of LPR status. I don’t frequent Reddit, but this just seems like someone’s opinion. Maybe they had a difficult employer that needed education, or something like that. Regardless, there are ways an LPR going through ROC with an expired GC to show proof of LPR status.

Protected class? He certainly seems to be playing the part.

I am not aware of a specific naming convention. If you can save the file on your computer as a PDF with a particular name you should be fine uploading them as the files will be attached to a specific case. Good Luck!

I completely agree with with @nastra30. A student visa will definitely be tough task in the future as it is treated much the same at the interview stage as a B2. It seems her options are to file the I751, and if possibe come back to the U.S. and submit the I131 and stay for the biometrics. The other option is to file the I407, try for a student visa if that comes up, and if she does want to come back to the U.S. as an LPR it will be a very long wait. Good Luck!

I agree with @nastra30. I would do whatever to keep her LPR status if she plans to stay in the U.S. via a re-entry permit(s) or SB-1 although I think SB-1 would be a long-shot. If she is planning on staying in the U.S. getting an immigrant visa after she finishes school, assuming she gave up her LPR status will be a long wait. Good Luck!

I think the consulate needs to correct the visa with the proper birthdate. Not really sure why they would be asking a question to NVC.

Then the joint sponsor’s spouse should fill out an I864A.

The joint sponsor only makes $27k? The I 864s are not additive, the primary sponsor or the joint sponsor must meet the I864P guidelines for their household size and $27k only meets the amount for a household of 2. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p

So the new passport is wrong? Is the consulate requesting a new passport with the correct information before actually issuing the visa, or was the visa already issued in her old passport?

She can only work with either the EAD or GC along with her SSN. She can travel and re-enter the U.S. after getting the AP or GC card. There is no stamp, and you can expect a wait of many months before you see any movement. You also mentioned in your OP that you are anticipating an RFE. If you already know this, why not include that information in your initial filing to take care of it up front? Good Luck!

I am actually glad the Harvard President did not get ousted as it keeps the antisemitism story in these “elite” universities in the news cycle longer so more people can learn about it. Also, it allows more and more folks a chance to uncover the complete hypocrisy of her specifically, and the Leftist academics in general.

Having both the I131 and I751 in the system at the same time should not be an issue. In fact it will probably look better for the I751 that you did things properly so you and your wife can stay together during your international assignment.

Other than the potential of being called for biometrics or an I751 interview, you should be fine. Getting the re-entry permit before you leave and getting the I751 filed is the right thing to do. You may consider consulting your company’s HR and discuss the situation. Generally large companies that have employees on international assignments will assist with a spouse’s immigration issues as well. Good Luck!

I would have your wife discuss it with the consulate officer when she has her interview. Good Luck!

Gat a call yesterday on my work phone also supposedly from Amazon. Instead of hanging up I listened for a while, and the person told me there was a suspicious purchase on my Amazon account. Supposedly a MacBook was purchased by someone in New Mexico, and I said I did not make the purchase, and did not live in New Mexico. Then the person asked for my name and that is when I refused to give them any additional information stating that this was personal information, and I would contact Amazon myself. I also mentioned that they were calling on my work phone that had no connection to my Amazon account. The caller hung up at that point.

When your first DCF case was canceled by the consulate did you file an I130 with USCIS? If not, it seems your situation has changed, so you can request DCF again?
