Assuming the daughter, your wife, is staying in the US, nothing will really change in the future. The mother will still need to list the daughter on the DS160, but if the mother has strong ties to return to China, she can apply. Personally, I would not work through any agencies as there are so many stories of agencies claiming things on the DS160 that are not true. You and your wife can help fill out the DS160 and schedule the appointment, but the application will be you MIL's. Good Luck!

Seems like that would be a big public interest so we would know who the high level deviants are.

The comment by the GOP member Rhoads is inane. Governments regardless of level get their money from the taxpayers period. So I guess the entire country is paying for the sanctuary states.

I would like to know who is paying these politicians themselves, all of them.

Or a leftist dictator such as Lenin or Stalin. One of the reasons we do not have one of those “smart” listening devices in our home.

I would wait at least a couple more weeks before going back to the SSA.

Yes, I would use the address from the W2. Transcript Up to you what to send. The N400 is not like the I485 or the I751 even when filing under the 3 year rule, the list of required evidence is not very long, but the list of evidence needed for the interview is quite long (you will see that list again when you eventually get an interview letter regardless of if you uploaded the information already). If you think it will help, go ahead and upload it. My only point is you do not need it to get the clock ticking on the N400.

I thought you could upload documents after the submission. Regardless, according to the instructions it is not required evidence for submission, so the OP can collect it and take it to the interview. My wife did that and the IO didn't ask to see anything.

When my wife filed under the 3 year rule, she only included the required evidence which for her was the photocopy of the GC and a copy of the marriage certificate. All the rest is material to be taken to the interview according to the N400 instructions. Now you can upload all that information if filing online, and most people do, but you do not need it there to submit the application. Good Luck!

You are very welcome.

Looked it up, and the wording from the State Department is equally as vague. b. (U) Adjudicating Exceptional Circumstances Form I-130 Cases: (1) (U) If a consular section encounters a case they believe meets the exceptional circumstances criteria outlined below, then the Consular Chief or another designated consular officer may exercise discretion to accept and adjudicate the filing. (2) Unavailable (a) Unavailable (b) Unavailable (c) Unavailable (d) Unavailable (e) Unavailable (3) (U) If you decline to accept a local filing, you should inform the petitioner of the decision and direct the petitioner to the USCIS website for information on how to file the Form I-130 at a USCIS lockbox or online in accordance with the USCIS filing instructions. The USCIS website also provides information on how to contact USCIS about expedite requests. The petitioner does not have the right to appeal, motion, or otherwise request reconsideration of a USCIS or consular officer's decision to decline acceptance of a local filing. (4) (U) Exceptional Circumstances: The following are examples of the types of exceptional circumstances where consular officers may opt to accept Form I-130 immediate relative petitions: (a) (U) U.S. Military emergencies: A U.S. service member, who is abroad but who does not fall under the blanket authorization for U.S. service members stationed abroad on military bases, becomes aware of a new deployment or transfer with little notice. This exception generally applies in cases where the U.S. service member is provided with exceptionally less notice than would normally be expected. (b) (U) Medical emergencies: A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an urgent medical emergency that requires immediate travel. (c) (U) Threats to personal safety: A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an imminent threat to personal safety. For example, a petitioner and beneficiary may have been forced to flee their country of residence due to civil strife or natural disaster and are in precarious circumstances in a different country outside of the United States. (d) (U) Close to aging out: A beneficiary is within a few months of aging out of eligibility. (e) (U) Petitioner has recently naturalized: A petitioner and family member(s) have traveled for the preference IV interview, but the petitioner has recently naturalized and the family member(s) require a new petition based on the petitioner's citizenship. (f) (U) Adoption of a child: A petitioner has adopted a child abroad and has an imminent need to depart the country. This type of case should only be considered if the petitioner has a final adoption decree on behalf of the child and the adoptive parent(s) has had legal custody of and jointly resided with the child for at least two years. (g) (U) Short notice of position relocation: A U.S. Citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, received a job offer in or reassignment to the United States with little notice for the required start date. (h) (U) Other: The Consular Section may exercise its discretion to accept local Form I-130 filings for other emergency or exceptional circumstances of a non-routine nature, subject to the limitations set forth in 9 FAM 504.2-4(B)(1)(f) above. However, such filings must be truly urgent and limited to situations when filing with USCIS online or domestically with an expedite request would likely not be sufficient to address the exigent nature of the situation. https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM050402.html#M504_2_4_B_1_f

The I129F should not impact any subsequent I130/DCF since the act of getting married automatically nullifies the I129F. I agree with @D-R-J, a recent wedding would not be a big impact especially since in your case you can show a long period (4 yrs) of being together. I am not aware of a set timeframe for the relocation (there maybe something in a State Department guide), but I imagine anything less than a year could be impacted. The USCIS wording is quite vague. Short notice of position relocation – A U.S. citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, has received a job offer in or reassignment to the United States with little notice for the required start date. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-3

I believe the relevant period is November 2019 through November 2022. Were you in the US 548 days during that period? I would not go by the filing date since you get 90 days to file early, but the N400 cannot be approved until after the 3 year LPR anniversary.

At least this competition will be all inclusive.

So will Canada be on the hook for environmental reparations to the US for their forest mis-management? https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/wildfires-burn-across-canada-with-little-relief-in-sight/ar-AA1chGim

The thieves guild lobby must be pretty powerful.

The Left is all about mob rule where the loudest voices get their way. Unfortunately this country is heading down that path, but of course our elite "Leftist betters" will be leading all of us.

Sums it up pretty well. Some people call this "progress".

The kind of idiot that didn't simply clean house eliminating the "mean girls club" at CNN when he took over.

How much total time have you been outside the US since you received your green card (over the 3 year period as I assume you filed the N400 based on the 3 year rule)? Based on your post it seems you may have only been present in the US for 17 months over the three year period, but that is not entirely clear. You can travel after filing, my wife took a month's trip abroad after she filed, but she more than met the 18 months over 3 years requirement. Others may know better, but I would continue with the interview and see where the chips fall. The I751 and N400 are treated separately, so if you do not meet the N400 requirements, your I751 could still be approved. Good Luck!

Only the consulate can decide to accept the I130, but a USC needing to repatriate to the US for work reasons tends to be a common reason for consulates to take on the I130. Here is a good thread you may find helpful. As a side question, why wait for the marriage in the US, you can do the Utah Online Zoom wedding, and since you are both physically together, send the DCF request to the consulate as soon as you get the marriage certificate and the note from your company. Good Luck!

I would wit to do the I864 NVC stage considering a lot could change between the I130 filing and the NVC/interview stage.

Seems to hit all the major points that may be impacting the OP. To me the signature thing coupled with the DV thing is the biggest hurdle. I can see USCIS thinking something is fishy here.
