That is where it gets sticky especially for someone that entered on a spousal visa. To utilize the 90 day early filing, you have to meet all aspects/requirements at the time of filing, but if one entered on a spousal visa, they are potentially short 90 or so days of living in a marital union with a USC for 3yrs minimum. This effectively negates the 90 day early filing for those that enter on a spousal visa whereas someone AOSing from a K1 or other NIV may still be able to use it. Not really a huge benefit for the K1 vs CR1/IR1 debate, but is a reality.

Not sure if it is exactly the same thing. My wife chose to take my family name when we married. Additionally, she adopted her Russian patronymic name as her middle name even though Russians do not have what we consider a traditional middle name, and we did all of her immigration documents with that format. All of her U.S. based ID’s, DL, GC and now U.S. passport reflect that new name, but her Russian documents are still in her name at the time we married. Changing her name on those documents is a bureaucratic fuss, so she has left it as is, and she has had no issues when traveling back to Russia. She carries both passports, or previous to her naturalizing, her Russian passport and U.S. GC, along with a copy of our marriage certificate, and has had no issues so far. Over 11 years, no one has actually questioned anything, or required her to show the marriage certificate.

Yes, I guess I assumed the end of September 2023 was the GC issue date, but that may not be a good assumption. We will need to wait for the OP to clarify the dates.

You need to be more specific about the date the GC was issued. Since you mentioned the end of September 2023, you are clearly in the 90 day period for filing the I751, but as others have said, if the the GC is not expired, hop on a flight ASAP. If it has expired, file the I751 to get the extension letter, and do it soon. Good Luck!

The wife should fill out the I864A, and include the required evidence for that form. Good Luck!

Moved to the IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

I would use the address where you were living back when you filed the K1. USCIS should already have the info, so it is not that critical. Good Luck!

Just to be clear to others, her only option is the 5yr rule.

Ok, maybe this deserves its own thread. Charles and TBone can decide. The imitation is amazing!

Heard a story of a woman overdosing on acetaminophen today. Not sure how credible, and am currently mobile (heading back from Utah), so cannot properly research it. Maybe TDS needs to be studied if something like this is true.

It is tough shooting from the MDL.

Did his spouse fill out an I864A?

Just a piece of advice. Be careful of any attorney claiming 100% success, or that they can speed things up. As to your situation, as others have said, if your marriage is legitimate, then you have to do the legwork to show that to others. You do not need to convince us, but if you can, then it is possible you can actually convince those that matter at USCIS and at the consulate. Maybe treat it as if you just recently got married, and even though a long distant marriage, there are ways you can work together to commingle the marriage, spend time together, etc. as you work through immigration. Good Luck!

More tolerance from the Left? Multiple people 'critically wounded' after 'sniper' opens fire at Dallas ICE facility then commits suicide https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15129363/Dallas-ICE-sniper-three-wounded.html

Has the payment been processed, or the check cashed?

Honestly, I thought this might be a BB article. It is amazing what astrophysicists can do from so far away.

My wife had her passport 4 days after her oath by visiting a Passport Agency. Research the Passport Agency in Portsmouth, NH (I assume this based on your profile), and see what is needed to set up an appointment for an expedited passport. Good Luck!

Visiting Capitol Reef for the first time this year. Another great Utah park with a lot of different hiking trails. Sort of a cross between Canyonlands, and Arches, but not so busy. Also revisiting Bryce Canyon, and will be heading to Rocky Mountain in a few days.

Hmm? Is there something in the water? Man who attempted to assassinate Kavanaugh now identifies as a woman A man who pleaded guilty to attempting to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022 is now using a female name and pronouns, according to a court document filed Friday. Nicholas Roske, who is scheduled to be sentenced next month, is using the name Sophie Roske and a "Ms." title for the first time in a court filing in a case that has stretched for three years. The court filing was a routine request in anticipation of Roske's sentencing, which is set for Oct. 3. But the filing referenced Roske by the name "Sophie," while a footnote revealed that Nicholas remains Roske's legal first name. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/man-who-attempted-assassinate-kavanaugh-now-identifies-woman

Also, no I864.

This is fairly common with K1’s. A K1 is technically a non-immigrant visa, but the processing is handled by the immigrant visa side of the consulate. You are right, no documents are uploaded to NVC, and the DS160 is used for K1. The beneficiary will also provide the signed I134 from the petitioner either before or at the interview. Good Luck!

So this works with any phone? I thought it was Apple specific.

Doesn’t this designation make it easier to go after the funding mechanisms used by Antifa. Someone is paying them.

They need to be careful with their actions. If there was any pressure put on ABC by the FCC here it is wrong. IMO Jimmy Kimmel is not a good entertainer, and much like Colbert playing to a dwindling audience mostly due to their alienation of a great swath of the population. Not to worry though, I am sure Kimmel will win some meaningless award in the near future. https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-investigation-9-18-2025

Heard ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel over this.
