    That is not accurate. My wife and I filed separately for the first year she became a Green Card Holder. We did so in order to reduce our tax liability when she was an LPR for only part of the year. Had we filed jointly, we would have been liable for taxes on her income for the entire tax year.

    You don't have to file either jointly or separately as an LPR or as a citizen. As an LPR or as a citizen, You can file either jointly or separately. Filing status should be based on the better strategy for you. I think you need to speak to a competent tax pro. ***Moved to Taxes and Finance during US Immigration***

    Yes. A plastic Green card is evidence of status, but it is not the status, itself.
  4. Crazy Cat
    Toward what goal? You still have TPS?
  5. Crazy Cat
    You are the primary sponsor. You must complete and submit an I-864.

    How long have you been outside the US on this trip?
  7. Crazy Cat
    You bail wasn't conditional on your remaining in the country?

    My thoughts too. I wonder if Pakistan immigration would detain OP pending case resolution. Might not find out until departure immigration check.

    Ouch!!! I would consult an attorney asap.

    This CBP article may or may not be applicable: Can entry be denied to LPR convicted of a crime upon return to the United States? (cbp.gov)

    So, the ex knows you are outside the US, correct? I think I would have an attorney lined up in case CBP detains you.
  12. Crazy Cat
    Are you planning to return to the US before the case is resolved in Pakistan? What is the charge?
  13. Crazy Cat
    No problem. I just thought the question would get more attention from the experts there.

    Agree. and I would bring evidence. Our officer wanted to see evidence of marriage from date of I-751 submission to date of interview. Spefically, he was interested in seeing paper trail documentation of us living at the same address, bank accounts, leases.

    I was notified only 2 days prior to wife's N-400 interview that it would be a combo interview. The local office, in the email, said my presence was required, and it stated this would be a combo. Fortunately, I had prepared for a combo interview all along anyway.

    Interesting.....Looking at just spouses and children of both US citizens and LPRs: November 2023 Immigrant visas issued by post NOVEMBER 2023 - IV Issuances by Post and Visa Class.pdf (state.gov) Manila (spouses and children visas) CR-1 issued 28 CR-2 issued 5 IR-1 issued 111 IR-2 issued 127 Total : 271 F2a issued 6 I know I carved out a segment of all visas, but I think it is an apples to apples comparison..

    It's really odd that no RFE is online.
  20. Crazy Cat
    That link is for premium processing, not basic, standard form fee increases. I have seen estimates ranging from Feb to summer of 2024.

    On the other hand, a denied 290B would still require refiling a new, complete I-485, I-131, I-765.
  22. Crazy Cat
    This is one situation in which I might consider filing to re-open. It seems it was a USCIS error. Besides, it costs a lot less. Of course, you would still have to address the RFE matter.

    I would start reading and studying the VJ guide. The petitioner needs to also:

    Those people are wrong. Waiting to file for adjustment of status only delays the ability to work, the ability to leave the US and return, the ability to file for citizenship. There are no good reasons to wait. I would beg or borrow the money because only bad things can result from failing to file the I-485, I-765, and I-131. Good luck.

    The only way it would not be in force if she gained 40 quarters of work credit. Please let us know what your notes say. Having a Green Card would not negate the obligation, nor would the fact that she is working.
