Makes sense to include that. Good Luck!

Reading the message you posted on your profile it seems that a petitioner mis-stated the marital status of a beneficiary on an I130 petition. We need further clarification in order to potentially help you out.

Very possible. I found this from back in 2021 where the poster used GE with an expired GC and extension letter. I assume you needed to scan your passport when entering.

Why does everything the government tries to do cost so much? Hydrogen Hubs: Without Huge Subsidies the Math Doesn’t Work The White House has awarded $7 billion dollars of tax money for the first seven U.S. hydrogen hubs. They say it will leverage $43 billion in private money. Yet, the rules only require a 50/50 match. We are far more likely to see a $7 billion private money match. Why put more of your own money at risk than you have to? It is risky because green hydrogen costs at least five times more to produce than the methane reforming method, which makes 95% today. That is $5 versus $1. All of the regional hydrogen infrastructure will need to be built, and the future hydrogen demand will need to be created and incentivized. Because green hydrogen still costs more. Even with upfront and downstream aggressive subsidies. Because it is tax money we don’t have, it is added to our unprecedented $33 trillion dollar national debt. We are at an inflection point where interest payments are more than our national defense budget. Debt interest is projected to be more than a trillion dollars by the end of the decade. And the Rich Men North of Richmond just keep spending. https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2023/10/31/hydrogen_hubs_without_huge_subsidies_the_math_doesnt_work_989660.html

Not quite so bad for my wife. She simply does not like cold weather,

All you need is a copy of your GC and a copy of your current marriage certificate unless you are filing from overseas or a member of the military or the spouse of someone in the military to submit the form. All the rest is interview material, and it seems with your I751 pending you already have that (I assume you retained a copy of that package). Quite honestly, my wife and I found the N400 the least stressful of all our filings (I129F, I485, I751). Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

My wife filed the N400 with just the minimum required evidence also with a fairly hefty I751 in process. She was approved in a little more than 5 months for both. You only need the required evidence to submit the N400 and get the clock moving. If filing online, you can upload the "Interview Evidence" later, or if filing by mail, just collect the information for the interview. Good Luck!

What about immigration to Canada?

My wife is allergic to cold as well as she is from Siberia. Btw, we got a inch of snow last night for Halloween.

Technically, if she has a Masters equivalent she can apply for an NIW with an advanced degree.

Roundtrip?

This narrative always gets to me. The leadership and rich in Russia and Ukraine are no different, corrupt, money loving, and selfish. I suppose since the US and the EU sort of put in place the current Ukraine government they need to gaslight us with that "great democracy" narrative.

The extension letter comes after the I751 is filed and accepted. Extension letters currently are issued for 48 months, and that letter with the expired CGC provide proof of LPR status. Your other option, if you plan to remain outside of the US for a longer period, is to file an I407 which would formally give up your LPR status. Then 18-24 months before you want to come back to the US permanently, your USC spouse can file a new I130 for a new GC which will be a 10 yr version. Good Luck!

These two lines.

What does it say on the top two lines? Is it something like "Request for applicant to appear for initial interview" and "Form I-485 Application to register permanent residence or adjust status"?

Yes, biometrics would potentially be required (they may re-use earlier biometrics). You can still send the I751 from outside to the lockbox based on the address you have in the US. As I mentioned earlier, it would be best in your case to come back before the expiration of the 2yr GC and re-entry permit. If you do not, and your CGC expires, you need an extension letter to re-enter the US.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, but the BC could be requested to prove family relationship since they are also requesting proof of citizenship. Have you heard of a petitioner being interviewed alone in reference to an AOS process?

OK, so you should still file the I751 regardless of if you make it back by April. Your window should open sometime in January. Unfortunately there is no online option for the I751. Good Luck!

You received an interview letter personally? What was the basis for your citizenship? To my knowledge it is fairly rare for a petitioner to be sent an interview notice alone.

I thought Zelenskyy was taking care of this. Guess not. Zelenskyy aide on corruption in Ukraine: 'People are stealing like there's no tomorrow' "Amid all the pressure to root out corruption, I assumed, perhaps naively, that officials in Ukraine would think twice before taking a bribe or pocketing state funds. But when I made this point to a top presidential adviser in early October, he asked me to turn off my audio recorder, so he could speak more freely," Shuster wrote. "Simon, you’re mistaken," an aide said. "People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow."" The same official claimed that the Defense Minister’s firing did not have the desires effect because it took so long to occur. https://www.foxnews.com/media/zelenskyy-aide-corruption-ukraine-people-stealing-theres-tomorrow

So you are good with filing under the 5 year rule. You will need to provide proof of you marital status, but since you are not filing under the 3 year rule, you do not need to provide the material I listed above. Good Luck!

Personally, I would do whatever possible to return before April 2024, and if necessary apply for another Re-entry permit. When does her GC expire?

I agree, you should get a new stamp. Good Luck!

Here are some reviews although none terribly recent. Which land border are you planning to use as your POE? You may be able to search the specific crossing in the VJ search engine. Good Luck! https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/poereviews.php?poe=CDN-USA Border&page=2&dfilter=0

It is amazing how the Left/Democrats and their media allies redefine words and often succeed with their gaslighting.
