It shouldn't impact the application. I found these threads, and they imply it is better to put the 5 year history on it even if the oldest 2 years were outside the US. Good Luck!

Maybe for the CGC they can put the expiration date out six years to avoid all that killing of trees with extension letters.

Not to worry, the electric prices will increase with demand.

I had to dig up the I751 I797C, it was WAC.

But it should have been rejected right out at the lockbox stage. Since it was submitted in May 2022, I would imagine the forms, payment and required evidence met the standard.

They do not have a choice. They cannot approve the N400 with a pending I751. Back in 2018 when my wife naturalized she had her I751 pending. She received an interview notice for the N400 only, but I went with her and the IO conducted a short joint I751 interview with both of us. Luckily the IO had our I751 package on her desk, so she was able to approve both. I think the big question now is how efficient USCIS is with getting the I751 packages to the local offices so they can be combined with N400s.

Shouldn't as the I864 is done at the NVC stage. If the consulate is handling it and telling you to fill out a new DS-260, you should be able to upload a new I864, but to be honest, I am very rusty as to the NVC stage., Maybe some other members like @Mike E or @Crazy Cat or @iwannaplay54 will chime in.

As others have already responded, entering the US with the intent to stay and adjust status is not an option for you. That being said, it sounds like you are already in process to get a new spousal visa for your wife. I am not sure what is meant by the "embassy reopened our case", are you both living in Taiwan, are you trying to get the original visa re-issued? Without more information on that case, it is hard to determine if you need to file a new I130, but if you are doing something like a DCF, then no, you do not need a new I130 filed to USCIS. Good Luck!

Yeah, probably best to list them even if they are not a potential immigrant. We don't know much about the OP as to were they a K1 or spousal visa. If a K1, they would not be a "step" child yet, but should have been listed on the I485 et. al. and the I751. Probably best, as @Chancy recommended, to list them on the N400 application. Not really sure what could come back to bite the USC spouse for the error on the I864, probably depends on how close they were to meeting the minimum guidelines.

I agree. If the child was under 18 getting child support when your husband filled out the I864, the child should have counted. As to your forms, I am not too worried about that as the entire "step" relationship is really a technical matter.

Now we buy almost all tickets in the name on her US passport the exception being domestic flights inside of Russia. The only concern comes when she is checking into a flight to Russia (last time was in Dubai), she has to show both passports so they know she has documentation to enter Russia, but no one has batted an eye so far about the name difference.

Just to clarify, the person filing an I129f after filing an I130 should provide a copy of the I130 acceptance NOA, not the original.

Do the CR1, you will not regret it.

I also agree, at least a legal consultation is warranted here. https://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/applying-citizenship-dui-your-record.html

As with everything USCIS YMMV. Btw, I am not sure I would trust anything a Tier 1 says on the phone. Hopefully something frees up soon. Good Luck!

I agree, doesn't hurt to try. Good Luck!

I am curious as to who opened the door.

Yep, the alphabet mafia narrative.

Seems pretty cut and dry.

I know the OP closed their account, but after re-reading, I read it as she was planning ahead for a future sponsorship of an IR5 in several years. I only wished more folks would do advanced planning.

I know, innocent until proven guilty, but if in fact true, horrible.

Yes, at the discretion of CBP. Good Luck!

They will only put your married name on your GC if that is the name you used on the I485. USCIS does not automatically assume a name change due to marriage as many people do not change their names. That being said, if you did fill out your I485 with your married name, and the GC arrives with that name, you will be fine. If using your passport for traveling (international travel) you need to buy the tickets in the name on your passport, but if it is domestic travel and you have a real ID DL/state ID you can use that name. If returning to the US, you will use your GC as is, and keep a copy of the marriage certificate with you in case CBP questions the name difference. My wife traveled like this for several years until she naturalized, and no one ever asked to see our marriage certificate. Lastly, when possible and if it is not too much of a hassle, change your name on your passport. We did not do this as changing the name on a Russian passport is a real pain. Good Luck!

No one can predict what the CBP officer will ask. In general, short visits are fine and he can only take the proof he has of his ties to return. Good Luck!

My wife applied under the 3 year rule with an I751 pending.
