    Didn’t realize the U.S. would bother to confirm what specific country the J holder resided in, as long as it was not the U.S.
  2. SalishSea
    You cannot apply for that visa until you have an approved I-130 petition and approval from the national visa center. Your USC spouse needs to petition you, so I suggest they join VJ and begin researching the process. It is not easy or fast.

    How are you eligible for an ESTA if you’re not yet a Canadian citizen?
  4. SalishSea
    Yes, but why would you? CR-1 makes WAY more sense in your situation.
  5. SalishSea
    I’m confused- Why would you need a waiver if you spent > two years outside of the U.S. after leaving on the J status?

    “The government” doesn’t make you do anything. The wait time is what it is because of the huge volumes of people who filed and got in the queue before you did. There is a lot of waiting involved with all aspects of US immigration.

    It’s the 3 shot series for lifetime immunity. In other words, you could have had the series as an infant (in the U.S., babies get the 1st one at birth).

    Are you sure they haven’t been issued an NTA? Someone so casual about removing conditions also wouldn’t likely bother to submit a change of address to USCIS.

    You will have at least one interview, possibly a combo. ROC is often approved without one, especially if you had one for the conditional (two year) GC. One thing to keep in mind (there was recently a denial for someone who apparently did not realize) is that since your case is via marriage, your spouse must attend any interview you do have.
  10. SalishSea
    The process is called ROC- Removal of Conditions. I suggest you start by reading the guides and then asking specific questions. The paperwork can be submitted 90 days prior to the two year anniversary of “resident since” date on the green card. In your case, that would likely be in 2/2025.

    As long as she did not lie to CBP about her intention to visit (vs adjust status), shouldn’t be an issue.

    There is absolutely no way to know. If you are travelling to high-fraud, high-risk countries, then yes, I imagine there will be related background checks. The embassy will not give you a definitive answer. You are free to travel, which may or may not create delays to getting a decision on your case.
  13. SalishSea
    Not only that, but the risk to the American public far outweighs the inconvenience of temporary separation to a green card holder and green card applicant spouse.
  14. SalishSea
    Right….what happened to you aging out?
  15. SalishSea
    Also- whatever a local health dept says is not relevant to US immigration. That is strictly the jurisdiction of the Department of State/CDC.
  16. SalishSea
    There are no hard and fast rules about this. If the embassy has your passport and you need it for travel, you can request it. Any travel, and particularly to certain countries will of course need to be updated to your case.

    They are seeking a waiver of the inadmissibility caused by an active TB infection? Will not happen, sorry. The spouse can file an I-131 and return to China if they do not wish to be separated.
  18. SalishSea
    Excellent point. The bar is much higher for this consulate.
  19. SalishSea
    Not sure why adjusting status is even brought up here, as that isn't your situation, is it?
  20. SalishSea
    This is not correct.
  21. SalishSea
    Most “illegals” are overstays from legal entries.
  22. SalishSea
    I guess they would wonder how you thought that an N-400 would be approved without removing conditions.
  23. SalishSea
    Key being “good reason.” Being unaware that both parties must attend a joint ROC interview won’t fly.
  24. SalishSea
    Are you still married? Did you really not understand that your wife needed to be there? You need an immigration lawyer at this point, it’s now beyond DIY.
  25. SalishSea
    Any I-129F submitted before either party is legally free to marry will be denied. I wouldn’t hire a lawyer who advised otherwise.
