    A document you signed. It’s a contract between you and the US govt. Like others are saying, it remains in effect despite divorce.

    Every N-400 applicant is interviewed.

    As the petitioner, you are responsible for providing these things to your spouse. She is not eligible for means-tested benefits. You can check out low cost dental options, such as schools of dentistry. If she did not complete the medical exam requirements overseas, that’s another out of pocket expense that insurance will not cover.

    Well, it wasn’t great that he worked illegally, but that wouldn’t be the reason for the denial, as there would be a waiver for that….

    There must have been some credible connection to terror organizations. These things don’t happen without a reason…

    Correct, we did! Husband’s interview was at 1430, but it was closer to 1500 by the time the officer called him in, and 1530 when done. We thought we’d miss the oath ceremony, but they started it at 1600! There were a few stragglers they waited for to come down to the auditorium from the interviews. I may be wrong, but I got the impression that they do multiple oath ceremonies throughout the day. We started our visa journey with a K-1 in 2018. We had some long waits (AOS/ROC), but the two times we’ve been for interviews at USCIS Seattle/Tukwila, they’ve been very efficient and great to deal with. Overall we’ve been very lucky the entire time, with no RFEs or documentation issues. Our ROC took 18 months, but naturalization was just over 3 months from start to certificate. As I’ve said all along, it all comes out in the wash.

    The Kiwi is a citizen! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Applied 11/29/24 under the 5 year rule. He brought all our tax transcripts and civil documents, but the officer didn’t need to look at any of them. He was asked 6 questions, got all right. The timing of having an afternoon appointment in Seattle was great, we waited about half an hour for the oath ceremony. Sitting there as a born American, I realized that many don’t ever get to attend one- it was an honor, and so interesting. Everyone was SO happy ❤️🇺🇸.

    Will she be working? Employer-based insurance is usually the best option. Otherwise, you can purchase it on the market (Obamacare).

    They wouldn’t have filed an I-130 when adjusting from a K-1, unless the marriage was not within the 90 days.

    This is a different person's thread, but John explains what happened here.
  32. SalishSea
    Our best example of this situation is the story of @John & Rose. Similar situation, and they ended up marrying and she got her visa.
  33. SalishSea
    Great point. OP, this is probably the path of least resistance, particularly since any extreme EOs or other actions would hopefully be tied up in the courts for awhile. What is your husband's "resident since" date on his GC? He can file an N-400 90 days before that date.
  34. SalishSea
    No, it is a 'family reunification' visa. Now that she went back home, there is no need for reunification.
  35. SalishSea
    Since there is no precedent for any of this, we can only just speculate. I'm assuming that same-sex marriage continues to be legal in Columbia, where you married? If so, and you moved to a state that keeps it legal (like California), there would be no need to "remarry." In terms of the federal impact for US immigration, I can imagine they might take the approach the take towards marriage between first cousins: in order to receive an immigrant benefit, the petitioner must live in one of the states where cousin marriage is legal, as well as having married in a location where it is legal. Best of luck, and hopefully it doesn't come to extremes like having to move to another state.

    They will not expedite for that reason, no.
