  1. Are they planning to live in the US permanently? Or spend more time in the home country?
  2. The mother is still the primary sponsor, and as such, she needs to provide a completed I-864. If she was not required to file US taxes, she needs to write a letter explaining this. Doesn’t matter. She’s still the primary sponsor.
  3. They won’t notice or care. It’s no one’s business. Lots of married people don’t even wear rings. Lots of people don’t wear rings when flying, due to edema.
  4. I think you’re overthinking this. It’s very common for GC holders to go abroad to visit family for short periods. I don’t think CBP will question your relationship- that’s not really their purview. You are a lawful permanent resident, and you have not abandoned your GC.
  5. What do you mean? The I-134 is just a form, not a process. Are you confusing it with something else?
  6. If you have the option of being added to your wife’s employer-based plan, that is preferable. I would think it is also required, as for Medi-Cal, I believe you’d have to attest to not having the option of another type of plan, since it’s publicly funded. The location of the employer in a different state won’t matter- covered participants will be able to seek care by providers (who accept the plan) where they live. If you get a job that offers coverage, you will generally be required to accept that as your primary plan. The requirement would come from your wife’s employer/insurance provider. Sometimes you can keep the spouse’s plan as a secondary insurance, which is what we have done. Depending on coverage and monthly premiums, this may not make sense. good luck!
  7. You have so many wacky and incorrect ideas, it’s mind boggling. The only burden of proof she has for the divorce waiver is that the marriage was entered into in good faith, something that will already have been demonstrated to USCIS previously. You sound bitter that you failed to read and comprehend the I-864 before signing it. Cut your losses and move on.
  8. Which 'agencies'? The only official source of data for petition processing is USCIS, and they say the I-120F takes 15.5 months currently. Maybe you are looking at information from years ago. When we did the K-1, the petition phase was only 6 months, but those days are long gone.
  9. Why did you not apply for AP/EAD with the AOS? AOS can take up to two years. AP seems to be currently taking around 8 months. You can get all of these processing times by form # on USCIS.gov.
  10. I suspect that it actually was a negative. The bar is pretty high for you to overcome all the negative components to your case. You will have to spend as much time as possible visiting, and it would be realistic to expect an extended AP.
  11. Those are just guidelines. If you are planning to live and work (even remotely) in Mexico, you will want to research the type of visa you'll need for that.
  12. The issues you will want to research are: earning enough US-based income to sponsor an immigrant, and domicile.
  13. Nothing in US immigration is fast, or cheap. It requires much planning and attention to detail. Either option will take years, not months.
  14. Since you are from India, aren't you in a better position to evaluate whether India has a problem with you working remotely? USCIS/DOS doesn't set such rules for other countries. Only for people coming to the US and trying to work remotely. LPRs and USCs are taxed on worldwide income.
  15. You do know spouse can order replacement BC from state/county vital records, right?
  16. Definitely seems like they are prioritizing naturalizations over all other processes.
