Citizenship is less expensive in the long run.

My wife's N-400 (Citizenship) took 4 months from filing to approval. She will become a citizen later this month. (Filed N-400 on Aug 7, 2022. Approved on Dec 14th, 2022)

It is extremely important that he does not overstay his visitor visa. An overstay of even a day will immediately void his tourist visa. A significant overstay will result in a ban.

You can file "Married- Filing Separately" now, then amend the return when your spouse has an ITIN or SSN later.

Congratulations!!!!! Dallas Rocks!!!!!

I would contact both.

Yes. Contact the Paris consulate and request a transfer to them.

Unless she has previously been assigned an A number, the correct response is "N/A"

If you are applying under the 3 year rule, then only answer the question for the past 3 years.

All cases go through some form of AP. It could be days, weeks, months.... I can't see them delaying her visa if they thought his AP was going to take months or years.

Administrative review or administrative processing? Maybe they expect it to be short term review.

Did you request they both be interviewed together? Most people would want them to be issued together. What if only one is denied? (unlikely, but possible)

We interviewed in Dallas last month on 12/14/22. My wife's N-400 interview letter didn't mention her I-751 either. But, a few days before her interview, we received an email stating that it would be a combo interview. I would prepare for both an I-751 and N-400 interview.

You filed 3 months ago, correct? Did you include evidence of meeting within the last 2 years? Did you include a letter of intent to marry for both parties?

1. Imo, no. 2. Imo, no.

There are a few circumstances & some countries which might still warrant a K-1. However, the introduction of the Utah Zoom marriage has overcome some of those.

Immigrant intent is a factor for a B2. Immigrant intent is established with either an I-129f or an I-130. If your B2 is denied, you will, likely, lose your ESTA. You can legally visit during the immigration process, but as @Misscloud stated, every entry is at the discretion of CBP. Personally, I would travel for short visits via ESTA/VWP. Please allow me to throw this in, too. Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. Yes, you can visit! - K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures - VisaJourney

Even the 60 egg boxes are more than $25 here in north Texas. Half dozen cartons are more than $3.

Wait another month.

Actually, YOU need to prepare for what the interviewing officer is going to ask. As stated above, the timing of this is suspicious. You will need a LOT of proof that you entered the marriage in good faith. I would even suggest consulting an attorney for an opinion. Become an "A" student of filing an I-751 with a divorce waiver.

****Moved to Removing Conditions on Residency as 2-year Green Card was issued after AOS approved****

The green card holder is going to have to file an I-751 with a divorce waiver. Expect a lot of scrutiny.

Was the Green Card issued before the marriage ended or after?

Was the Green Card a 2 year card or a 10 year card?

Follow their instructions.
