Crazy Cat

I'm just relaying what I have seen over the last 10 years here on VJ. Take it for what it's worth. I wish you well in your future.

It is strange that USCIS would do that. USCIS is not normally concerned with proof of relationship other than proof of meeting within 2 years and intent to marry. The Consulate, on the other hand, is a different story.

Good luck....but remember this: USCIS doesn't issue visas.....the Consulate does.

Use it at your own risk. This is not a good time for any ambiguity in the world of US immigration. Good luck. I hope your journey is smooth.

It's the Consulate Officer you need to worry about...not USCIS.

I would NOT include that as evidence. That sounds like a marriage document. You could be playing with fire.

Never heard of such. Did they actually say that? An engagement CEREMONY? Could it be seen as a marriage ceremony? Be aware that "too married for a K-1" is a real thing....at the consulate phase.

All you need to have in hand are the 2 year Green Card and the original 48 month extension letter. Once you have those, you are set. No need for anything else at this time.

Return transcripts

No. Based on this : https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-i-chapter-3 The war on terrorism is underway. "G. Conditional Permanent Residence and Naturalization during Hostilities If the alien is a conditional permanent resident and is eligible to naturalize on the basis of military service during hostilities[40] without being an LPR based on being in the United States during enlistment or induction, the alien is not required to file or have an approved Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (Form I-751) before his or her Application for Naturalization (Form N-400) may be approved." Besides, Once you are a citizen, you are no longer under any obligations as a Green Card holder.

Questions : Can I use I-864EZ for my husband even though on his i-130 I noted I have also filed for my stepson? Or should I do the standard i-864? I have paid husbands IV fees as well. Is it okay to only submit the i-864 for my husband now and delay my stepson’s case by a year? I have read that as long as I periodically check in with nvc, it will remain open. We did not pay the IV fees for my stepson yet Thank you for any help/comments. 1. Personally, I would submit an I-864. 2. Just don't submit documents or fees for stepson's case. You can postpone his case indefinitely by contacting NVC at least once every 12 months.

I would think applying before her circumstances have changed would be futile.

Then, why even mention there was crime? Good luck on your waiver......Remember, we do not/cannot give legal advice here....nor do we judge. Your competent attorney should have all the info you need concerning LegalNet. I hope everything works out.

Nor do we know the crime.

I would proceed down the path of least resistance....a waiver. But realize that the current administration is not as casual with crime as was previous administrations.

My wife was called for jury duty in Dallas County, Texas within a few months after becoming a citizen in 2023. On the other hand, I haven't served in 30 years.....LOL.

There you go. This administration is serious about visas. Hopefully, the consulate will apply the law accurately. So, the consulate officer says a waiver is available?

I would assume ANY medically necessary items would be allowed.

Oh, I see. Please update us when you find out what happened. Good luck.

Your situation is way outside the scope of a DIY site like Visa Journey, imo. IMO, you are going to need a very strong package. Find a very good attorney who has experience in crafting them. I don't think the current administration will treat your situation as a formality as did the last administration. This is a far cry from a standard immigration case, especially with the extra scrutiny by USCIS now. What is your plan if you attempt fails? I wouldn't risk the consequences of trying to do this solo. A $150-$300 consultation is just the very beginning to a very expensive process. IMO, you need to put this in the hands of an experienced attorney......which won't be cheap or guaranteed. Your father made some extremely bad decisions which are going to cost a lot of money to rectify. Just an opinion. Good luck.

A Green Card holder is not a tourist. Big difference.

Agree with @appleblossom. Just give them what they want....Good luck.

No, applying for (and/or denial of) a B2 with a pending I-130 would not cause an I-130 denial or have any effect on a spousal visa case. However, applying for a B2 with a pending I-130 would probably cause a denial of the B2.

Yes. They have to see the citizenship documents.
