We would need a timeline of events. Did the marriage end? Was it after the green card was issued? Was it a 2 year Green card? There will be scrutiny all the way through the naturalization process.

A spousal visa ig going to take 18-24 months from filing to visa issue.

Good luck. I'm sure it will be a smooth interview.

HOH filing requires very specific conditions.

No harm in requesting it. None at all.

Sounds like things are fine. Relax, and follow the consulate's instructions.

No, it is not a red flag. Tax strategy is not an immigration issue.

How long has he overstayed?

He is not an immediate relative of a US citizen. He is out of status. He can never adjust status through you while you are a Green Card holder, even if a visa number is available. Unfortunately, multiple mistakes have been made.

Are you sure this date is correct? Was it 2022? If it was approved in 2022, I think you're fine. There shouldn't be anything required until it gets to the consulate.

If you were married for at least 2 years when you entered the US with your spousal visa, then you were correctly issued a 10 year Green Card. No removal of conditions required.

If you were properly issued a 10 year card, there is no need to remove conditions. How long were you married as of the day you entered the US?

Next, they will want to ban all open flames.

Have you read the instructions for the I-864? Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA (uscis.gov)

If, on the date your wife enters the US, you have been married for 2 years or longer, she should be issued a 10 year green card.

The NVC process can take several months after the I-130 is approved. In total, the VJ average is 18 months from filing the I-130 to visa issue. But, as you said, you would immediately become a green card holder.

If you switch, it will, likely, take about 18 months or so for the spousal visa to be issued, imo. Per other VJ members, that is the current average from filing an I-130 to spousal visa interview:

Did you file the I-129f in 2021 or 2022?

Your timeline indicates you have already submitted the I-130. Is that correct?

Not an issue. We filed separately one year. The important thing is that you filed.

Dallas seems to be rocking the N-400 process. I couldn't be happier with the speed in which they processed the N-400. Thanks @Family

In case you're interested, here is a transcript of our I-751/N-400 interviews: We received an email a few days prior notifying me to be there for the combo interview. Appointment was at 1:00 pm Wednesday, December 14th. We were called in at 1:30 pm. Officer said, "You have already submitted a lot of evidence". The officer asked both of us a few questions for the I-751 interview. "How did you meet" How many children? When were you married? Did you pay anyone to fill in the I-751? He wanted to see evidence of marriage dated from I-751 filing date (March 2019) to present. I gave him bank accounts, credit card accounts, apartment leases, driver's licenses, Car insurance card. He did NOT ask for tax transcripts (I had already uploaded them) or original documents. He said "You satisfy the I-751 requirements". He then gave me the option of remaining in the room for the N-400 portion, but wife was comfortable alone. He escorted me back to the waiting room. Wife says he asked her a few questions we had answered in the I-751 interview portion, then asked her the 6 easiest questions in the 100 question list. Who is President? What did MLK do? Why did colonists come to America? Name one branch of Government? Name 2 cabinet positions? Who makes laws? About 30 minutes later, he escorted her out to meet me. She had the form which says "You passed the English and Civics test". An hour later, her N-400 status had changed to "Oath will be scheduled". The next day (I think), her I-751 status changed to "Case was approved". What amazed me was the rate the officers were calling interviewees in that afternoon. They had 10 or 12 officers continually calling people out of the waiting room. We were called 30 minutes after our appointment time. The officer told us "We are here to help her become a citizen. We are not trying to fail her. Officer said 2 to 6 weeks for the oath. When we got home from interview, the N-400 status had changed to "Oath will be scheduled". Next day, the I-751 status changed to "Case was approved". On Jan 9, 2023, we received the oath ceremony date.
