    I got my ARC back in 2015. I went through an agency to get that FBI background check. An agency also took it to the TECRO office in DC for the authentication as part of their service. I also had to get a tourist visa from the "consulate" in Houston in order to change my status. I seem to remember using a variety of sources for the process. After I submitted all my paperwork in Taipei, it took about 2 weeks to get the actual card.

    I had a Taiwan ARC......and a Chinese name...It was difficult to learn to write it. LOL.

    This is not accurate.

    VJ = Visa Journey You can find the DIY guides here: US Immigration & Visa Guides - VisaJourney

    I don't think that pick is going to help Kamala win Pennsylvania....which is considered, by most, to be a must win.

    If you entered the US via a K-1, you do not need to submit an I-130 if you married the petitioner within 90 days of arrival. Perhaps studying the VJ guides for adjustment of status will help.

    I speak just from my personal experience. In our case, we just found it easier to just keep her last name. After 9 years of marriage, it has not an issue in any way, including joint taxes. I think Shakespeare wrote "A rose by any other name would be just as sweet".

    Crazy is crazy....regardless of which political side a person is on.

    If DEI is so good, why are liberals complaining that some think Harris is a DEI pick?

    Seemingly a "do no harm" pick? and boring?

    Ask if she falsely claimed to be married when she applied for the B2 visas. That happens, sometimes, when agencies fill out the forms. Generally, B2 denials, if due to lack of ties to country, will not affect a K-1 or a CR-1.

    I would NOT cancel the I-130. It does not harm your case.
  15. Crazy Cat
    I would NOT withdraw the I-130. USCIS could think you are withdrawing the relationship. I would just let it ride.

    None at all. I think changing her name would have possibly caused a lot of problems with wife's pension, investments, banks, insurance, etc. in Taiwan. Keeping her name has not caused any issues in the US (Taxes, Military ID, Military Health Care, Social Security benefits, Medicare, etc). As far as passports, it has never been a problem since everything has been in her Taiwan name. As a dual citizen, both her Taiwanese and US passports are in her original name.

    Just a personal perspective from a Taiwan marriage: My wife elected not to change her name. It has made her entire immigration process much easier on both sides of the Ocean. Good luck on your immigration journey.

    Yes.

    Those are my thoughts, too.

    This situation comes up fairly often. The key is to halt the first case until the second one catches up. Then, NVC can sync them together.
  21. Crazy Cat
    A case can remain at NVC indefinitely by contacting them once a year.

    If so, there are no derivatives for immediate relatives of US citizens. Each immediate relative will require a separate I-130. If you are a US citizen, I suggest you: 1. Immediately file an I-130 for Daughter 2. Request an expedite for Daughter's case at USCIS. 3. Do not pay fees or submit documents for wife's case until the daughter's case reaches NVC. 4. Once BOTH cases are at NVC, pay fees and submit documents for both cases. 5. Then, ask NVC to schedule their interviews together.

    Are you a US citizen?

    The issue, in my mind, is that she does not want to return to the US to live. She wants to visit. I think she should surrender her GC at some point.
