  1. It might be in her best interests to file for divorce from the US. The divorce would be legal in the US and Philippines.
  2. Take a look at these forms. My wife has foreign investments and income every year in a pension, interest, dividends, Insurance certificates, etc. These forms are part of our tax return every year created by our CPA (who has been doing our taxes for 7 years): 1040 1040 Schedule B Form 8938 Form 1116 FBAR
  3. I guess that is some new provision....very odd. It was required when she submitted (Aug 2023).
  4. I just checked the completed copy of wife's N-400: My Wife filed under the 5 year rule..... Part 10 can be skipped only if you are not married and have never been married. Part 10: 4. If you are married now, provide the following information about your current spouse
  5. Here is what we sent in March of 2019....Approved after 44 months (December 2022). USCIS never ceases to amaze me with their inconsistent practices. Cover Letter Copies of: Apartment lease with both our names & signatures Joint bank checking acct statements since wife's arrival in June 2017. Deed for new home with both our names Mortgage Lender Letter with both our names. Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number. Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address. Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor. Tricare Health Care Eligibility Letter showing both of us together. Military pay statement showing wife as my benefic. Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives) Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us 2018 Joint Tax ReturnTax Returns Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US. Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car Boarding Passes for Las Vegas Valentine Day Trip 2019 Utility application showing both our names for our current address
  6. Current spouse info is in Part 10 Information About Your Marital History
  7. Congratulations!!! Citizenship will be a breeze. The end is almost in your grasp.
  8. Apply For U.S. Citizenship While Your I-751 Is Pending (cummingslawpractice.com) " Suppose you have submitted Form I-751 with the USCIS, you have yet to receive approval of the application, and you are still waiting on your physical 10-year green card. In that case, you may still be eligible to pursue the Naturalization process by submitting Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, even while your I-751 application is still undergoing processing. However, it is essential to remember that the USCIS will not approve your Form N-400 without first approving your Form I-751."
  9. An I-751 must be approved before or at the same time as an N-400 can be approved. Sounds like an update glitch in their system....or USCIS royally messed up. The USCIS Policy Manual states: Chapter 3 - Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence | USCIS " If the CPR has a pending Form N-400, USCIS adjudicates the Form I-751 before or at the same time as the Form N-400."
  10. We took I-751 evidence from time of filing I-751 until interview date. Looks like you have that covered.
  11. You can upload a letter to request a combo interview if you want. Some of us have done that with positive results. In my case, our local office informed me only 2 days before wife's N-400 interview that it would be a combo. Good luck.

  13. Just remember that you must meet either during or AFTER the Utah zoom marriage before filing an I-130.

  15. The previous K-1 will, likely, raise a couple questions. So, if you are truly committed, why waste time with another K-1? Marry via a Utah online marriage, then meet, then US spouse can file an I-130 to start the CR-1 visa process. Just a suggestion. Per other VJ members, the average processing time between a K-1 and a CR-1 is only about a month. 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 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 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 K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-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. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.
  16. I already moved it there. You can access the UK forum here: United Kingdom - VisaJourney
  17. ***Moved to the UK regional forum for these consulate specific questions***
  18. Not true. Contacting them once a year will keep an immigrant case alive.
  19. **Moved to the Carribean regional forum***
  20. Biometrics is no longer an additional fee for an I-751, it appears. $750 is the full fee. The additional fee appears only for an I-821 now (according to Form G-1055 Fee schedule).
