  1. When we submitted my wife's I-751, we submitted every month as well as a copy of both cards (showing the same number). At our I-751 interview, 44 months later, I showed the officer a few throughout the period (from submission date to interview date) and the most recent one. He was satisfied.
  2. An N-400 can be filed at any time in the future after the 90-day window opens, even after the 3-year mark. It will not be rejected for late filing. Note: 3 years married to USC AND 3 years as a Green card holder.
  3. Fill in what you know. You can enter "Unknown" for information you don't know.
  4. Here is another one in this article: Deferred Action (and Mercy) is Dead—Another Effective Program Killed by the Administration | Kuck Baxter (immigration.net)
  5. You might want to read the guide section here on Visa Journey. It will answer a lot of your questions.
  6. I think the denial letter was created by USCIS in 2021. However, proving the letter was actually mailed from USCIS and/or received by you is the impossible part.
  7. Here's one from a Visa Journey thread in 2014: i485 denial notice after verbal approval during interview (merged) - Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas - VisaJourney
  8. How do they prove they sent it, other than having a copy of the letter in the file?
  9. It's addressed to you. It is titled "Termination of Conditional Residence Status". It is date back in 2021. It certainly has all the characteristics of an official denial letter. Stamping the date is irrelevant.
  10. That is not an internal note. That is an official, dated denial letter they sent to you earlier.
  11. You need to include a copy of the receipt for the filed I-130. If you file for adjustment of status, you will not receive a Green Card for a long time.
  12. K3 visas are dead. They don't issue them anymore. The US citizen files an I-130...not the new immigrant.
  13. Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. Adjustment of Status Can be done only 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. 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.
  14. Follow this guide. However, there are significant drawbacks to adjusting status. You cannot leave the US or work for, maybe, 8 months. Are you prepared for that? Step-by-Step Guide on Filing an I-130 for a Spouse Inside the US - US Immigration & Visa Guides - VisaJourney
  15. You can legally adjust status. However, you cannot return to Canada (or anywhere outside the US) or work in the US for as long as 8 months. Are you prepared for that? I think most people would advise you to continue the spousal visit process with short visits until the visa is issued.
  16. Where did you get the $60K number? That sounds like the requirement if you use asset instead of current income.
  17. 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.

  18. Thank you. I appreciate the good vibes. It has been quite a journey. LOL.
  19. I should have said the I-130A pertains to the new immigrant. There seemed to be a question as to who is beneficiary. Thanks.
  20. Immediately. CBP will stamp her passport the minute she enters the US. That stamp serves as a green card until the plastic one arrives. As stated above, she can leave the US immediately afterwards.
  21. The officer who did our combo interview (Dallas) on 12/14 said 2 to 6 weeks.
