So, Mexican President is sending 10,000 troops to the border to stop illegals and drugs.....Looks like Trump's tariffs work after all.

Wife never changed her name. No issues. In fact, it has made things much easier.

If he was required to file taxes, yet didn't, there will be issues. If he was not REQUIRED to file taxes, he can explain that.

The OP is not at the N-400 stage. OP is at I-485 stage.....where the marriage certificate is a legal name change document.

There is something seriously amiss here......time for someone to come clean.

Anyone can file, but getting approval is another story. You have about a year before the interview takes place, I am moving this question to the Philippines regional forum because the local consulate policies will dictate.

Just a couple problems. 1. The OP also provided a great deal of evidence proving the marriage was bona fide. 2. OP's evidence goes back only to September 2022....10 months after the marriage. A lot of marriages go sour within 10 months. Short of a text message saying "I married you only for a Green Card...", I don't think USCIS would open a case. Just an opinion...

Social Security Retirement income can be used. Print a benefits letter.

They are separate cases...independent of each other. They might even be at different service centers. You can do this: 1. Hold the 1st case at NVC when it gets there by waiting to pay fees or submitting documents there. 2. When the 2nd case gets to NVC, pay fees and submit documents for BOTH cases at the same time. 3. Then contact NVC and the consulate to ask that the 2 cases be connected and interviewed together.

1. If she doesn't have a Green Card. Immediately withdraw the I-864 before the I-485 is approved. 2. If she already has a Green Card, my advice is to Finish the divorce, move on, and seek happiness for yourself. Hopefully, you have a good attorney. It is probably in your best interest that she becomes a US citizen as soon as possible. You are obligated under the I-864 until either she becomes a US citizen, loses her LPR status, gains 40 quarters of work credit, or dies. Actually, there is no 10 year limit. Remember, you submitted a great deal of evidence showing the marriage was bona fide. Marriages go south every day. If she entered the marriage in good faith, you have no case. I wish you well and I hope you can find peace. ***Moved to Effects of Major Family Changes On Immigration Benefits***

You marriage certificate is a legal name change document. For USCIS, you can start using any combination of the names listed on your marriage certificate. Example: Mary Smith marries John Doe Mary could use: Mary Smith, Mary Doe, Mary Smith Doe, Mary-Smith-Doe as examples.

I like the 2nd version....specific, succinct, matter-of-fact. It was very well done, imo. Just my opinion. You can (and should) include specifies in your marriage termination documents. Good luck.

This union is playing with fire, and they will get burned.

An I-134 is a document....which is submitted by the applicant at the interview. That's why I said the 30 day clock won't start until AFTER the interview.

He's only been in office for a week. Too early.

Oh.....Makes it much easier then. He was never under any I-864 obligations.

I should have said the I-864 which is associated with her I-485. Thanks. I'll edit...

Make sure you specifically withdraw both the I-130 and the I-864 associated with her I-485 (adjustment of status) by receipt numbers with names and her A number. I hope you fid peace.

That is after the interview....not before the interview. It also is after any require administrative processing and/or background checks done by the consulate. For example: The I-134 is submitted during the interview. At that point, the 30 day clock might start.
