  1. The Priority Date is normally the date a petition was filed at USCIS.
  2. If the interviewing officer has any questions about your marital union, the best remedy would be for the spouse to be there. Why take a chance on delaying the process. It just makes sense for the US spouse to attend. Chapter 2 - Marriage and Marital Union for Naturalization | USCIS "In general, all naturalization applicants filing on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen must continue to be the spouse of a U.S. citizen from the time of filing the naturalization application until the applicant takes the Oath of Allegiance."
  3. ***Moved to the UK regional forum***
  4. The I-485, I-765 do not apply since you are outside the US. Option 1: DCF (Spousal Visa) if you have exceptional circumstances Option 2: US spouse starts the spousal visa process by filing an I-130 with USCIS. You cannot enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and file an I-485. Good luck.
  5. They sent the I-130 and I-485 packages just about 3 weeks ago. I am surprised it is being processed so fast.
  6. These are cash assets....liquid....and very substantial ($300K). In this case, I lean toward using the substantial cash assets....and a new I-864.
  7. A Neighbor just sent her I-485 package a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, they received an RFE for the I-864 income. Would you use adequate assets to resubmit...or would you get a qualified joint sponsor with spouse? Why?
  8. I strongly suggest you send the new fees. Good luck. Keep us updated.
  9. Did they return the first payment to you? If so, you MUST send payment for the new fee.
  10. That is not correct. They would come via immigrant visas (IR-5). Upon entry into the US, they automatically become Green Card holders IMMEDIATELY. They can then immediately exit the country and re=enter as Green Card holders.
  11. ***A comment containing an unverified link removed***
  12. Looks like they CAN travel before the visas expire in May. They would rather not. In that case, they will have to start from scratch if the visas expire.
  13. If the visas expire, they will, likely, not have a choice. They should travel to the US before the visas expire, then immediately (like immediately) return to home country to tie up loose ends.
  14. That could be a mistake. If the visas expire, the consulate has the sole discretion to re-issue the visas if they could not travel due to circumstances beyond their control. Otherwise, the entire process would have to be repeated. An alternative is for them to travel to the US, "activate" their legal status, then immediately return to home country to tie up loose ends.
  15. An I-130 is NOT needed if the K-1 marriage takes place within 90 of entry into the US.
