Crazy Cat

So, are they going to re-issue Green Cards to those dual citizens who renounce US citizenship, yet want to remain in the US? This is just crazy stuff, imo.

I don't like it. I don't like it at all!!!!!

Ewok, I just started getting this error on main page using laptop and Chrome: [[Block new_topics_2019 is throwing an error]]

Does this act "grandfather in" current dual citizens? If given an "either/or" ultimatum, my wife would likely choose her home country since most of her current income comes from her teachers' retirement pension which I'm sure she would lose if she gave up her home country citizenship......and we pay full taxes to the US on that Taiwan income. ...there is no foreign income exclusion for us.

I pray you are correct.

It appears the fee is either $700 or $750 depending on how you submit the I-751. The process can take a few months to a few years. Yes, you MUST submit a lot of evidence. ***Moved to Removing Conditions....***

The average modern American isn't enduring the US immigration process. The first few years of a Green Card through marriage case should be about building a case for a bona fide marriage. That is reality....make the job of USCIS as easy as possible. A SSN, a driver's license/state ID, joint bank accounts (finance co-mingling/use), healthcare documents, documents showing you live together at the same address, etc. are all documents normally generated in a bona fide marriage. That is what USCIS wants to see. It doesn't hurt to ask yourself "how can I strengthen my case" from time to time during the process. Now, more so than ever, strong evidence is a big advantage. Good luck on your journey.

https://www.immi-usa.com/immigration/marriage-visas/k1-adjustment-of-status/ "You need to file a K-1 adjustment of status before the end of the 90 days of stay. In other words, you should file for an adjustment of status before the I-94 expires. "

https://www.justanswer.com/immigration-law/r4c1j-wife-entered-u-s-k1-visa-already-married.html " K1 Visa Adjustment of Status: Timing for Form I-485 Filing Confusion about filing deadlines and maintaining lawful status after K1 visa entry. After marriage within 90 days of K1 visa entry, the spouse should file Form I-485 to adjust status. The 90-day period applies to marriage, not the I-485 filing deadline. Filing after the I-94 expiration can risk unlawful presence issues. It is important to file the I-485 promptly after marriage to maintain legal status. USCIS requires timely submission to avoid complications, but exact timing depends on individual circumstances and current immigration policies."

https://www.lawfirm1.com/non-immigrant-visas/how-to-obtain-a-k-1-fiance-visa/adjustment-of-status-through-k-1-visa-entry/ " Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status You, the foreign national spouse, will file Form I-485 after you and your spouse have married. Again, the marriage needs to take place within 90 days of your arrival in the U.S. It is advised that you file Form I-485 before the 90 days is up because that is when your I-94 expires. You are allowed to file the adjustment of status visa after the 90-day time window has expired, but note that your legal status will have expired. Your legal status will expire with the K-1 visa — regardless of your marital status. One of the requirements for Form I-485 is to show that you have maintained lawful status in the U.S."

Here is a VJ case where the person waited to file an I-485.

After 90 days, you are out of status....and deportable. Marriage to US citizen gives no immigration rights or rights to remain in the US. However, once you file a proper I-485, you are granted authorized stay in the US until the I-485 is adjudicated. "Authorized Stay" is not a legal status, but prevents further unlawful presence. It is highly recommended to file for adjustment of status before the end of 90 days after entering the US. There is no benefit in waiting to do so.

Let's dive a little deeper here and clarify a couple things: #1: The case in the story is not a K-1 case....Reference, the mention of an I-130 (approved after detention). As we all know, an approved I-130 conveys no immigration rights. #2: "Authorized stay" (after submission of a proper I-485) is not a legal status. It is a POLICY of either the head of DHS or the Attorney General which prevents further accrual of unlawful presence. It is not law. Policies can be changed by the stroke of a pen. Seems to me, some people (if the reports are accurate) who overstay are being detained until their status can be determined...i.e. Is the detainee applying as an immediate relative of a US citizen?. Was a proper I-485 submitted?

If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duke, it is probably a duck. They do have intelligence on the origin and purpose of these drug operations......and this is war. To my knowledge, no American citizens have been killed in these drug boats.........however, Obama killed at least one American citizen with no due process.

You could try to get an emergency appointment at a USCIS field office for an ADIT stamp. But I'm not sure you can do it by Wednesday. Remember: If you find your Green Cards, you must also have the original 4 year extension letters if your 2 year Green card has expired.
