    This thread is completely irrelevant to your situation. I would disregard it. An online marriage and a K-1 are incompatible unless the marriage takes place after the K-1 visa holder has entered the US.
  2. Crazy Cat
    My thoughts as well.

    Wife always had to show physical card and original extension letter when checking in.

    Good info. The OP is in Greece. I think getting to the US border is the big issue.

    I think the airline agent failed to do their job. You got lucky. Airline agents are supposed to verify the physical Green card. I agree that CBP won't be a problem. Getting to the border will be the obstacle.

    Based on what I have seen, that usually applies to traditional "engagements/marriages" outside the US. @whackytech's "marriage" never qualified as a valid marriage.....and is actually irrelevant to the OP's situation as it cannot be considered a marriage.
  7. Crazy Cat
    OK. So you never consummated the online marriage. Then your online marriage was never valid for USCIS purposes....and, as such, was totally irrelevant to immigration.
  8. Crazy Cat
    How did you qualify for a K-1? You filed for a K-1 prior to consummation of the online marriage?

    Lots of people trying to instill fear in legal immigrants with falsehoods and lies. This just isn't true. If this stuff was true, we would see it here on Visa Journey. We haven't.

    This is a link to US consulate services in Greece: https://gr.usembassy.gov/uscis-services/?_ga=2.5843191.53061689.1754829549-383692143.1754829549

    Generally, extensions are done at the consulate level. However, since DOS (NVC) doesn't have it yet, they likely won't. You need to be proactive and ask USCIS to extend it. Normally, approved I-129fs can be extended in 4 month increments up to a year.
  15. Crazy Cat
    100% necessary. The extension letter is not valid without the expired Green card. You aren't authorized to travel back to the US without it. You might need to contact a US Consulate for a boarding foil. Another option is to get to Canada and do a land crossing. Another option: Have someone express the Green Card to you. If you can get to the US border, you can get in, although you will be vetted in secondary.

    I would do this: 1. Contact USCIS and request a 4 month extension. 2. Contact Senator and ask them to verify the status. That might nudge USCIS.

    What is the status on USCIS?
  18. Crazy Cat
    If that happened, you could try to adjust status through your wife (if she agrees). You would have to convince USCIS that you are in a bona fide marriage. That might be an uphill battle, but you could try.

    If I recall correctly, there was a member here a year or so ago who withdrew a K-1, then "rescinded" the withdrawal. All went well until an I-485 was submitted. USCIS found the original withdrawal. I think the solution was to file an I-130 and a new I-485 since the beneficiary was already in the US. There are also other cases, in VJ history, in which USCIS later discovered withdrawn petitions. This has happened as late as N-400 adjudication. In one case, USCIS made an exception and allowed the petition to remain valid. I would think the best practice resolution for anyone who wants to rescind a withdrawal is just to file a new petition.
  20. Crazy Cat
    I would plan for the possibility of questions after the I-485 submission. Good luck. Keep us updated.
  21. Crazy Cat
    OK. Good. At least they didn't let the I-129f expire.

    What is the status on USCIS?

    Another big issue, imo, is that the head OF DHS says anyone detained and deported might never be able to return to the US. But if you self deport after this much time, you get a ban. This is a very difficult situation.
  24. Crazy Cat
    No, you will not. Registration is required for all citizens and Green card holders between 18 and 26.
  25. Crazy Cat
    This article says there is a new policy: I can't vouch for it's accuracy. Hopefully, you escaped this new requirement. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/uscis-tightens-green-card-rules-for-marriage-based-cases-adds-mandatory-interviews/ar-AA1JY4IW To combat these issues, USCIS has implemented a more rigorous scrutiny process. This includes mandatory in-person interviews for couples applying for a green card through marriage. The focus is on verifying the authenticity of the relationship, requiring applicants to provide extensive documentation such as joint financial records, photographs, and affidavits from friends and family.
