    It was shorter years and years ago, but not in 2023.

    So that was obviously not USCIS' fault, right? Maybe USPS will offer some type of insurance reimbursement. You should definitely report it as lost to USCIS. I don't think there is any way around the I-90 processing fee or time, although you could request an expedite.

    Yep, that petition is over and done with. Meet and marry, or meet and submit a petition. The meeting requirement is absolute.

    Do you mean that he will go home to interview abroad?
  5. SalishSea
    OP, personally I'd go for the expedite request to start. You never know. Best wishes.
  6. SalishSea
    @OldUseris correct. Request expedite, or abandon the AOS process and be petitioned. The possible bar refers to whether you accrued presence whilst out of status.
  7. SalishSea
    Sorry to hear, but this is a well-known drawback or tradeoff to adjusting status, rather than going the consular processing route....
  8. SalishSea
    No. There is no "changing" from a conditional to 10 year GC. You should begin reading about the process known as Removal of Conditions, which you will be able to start in around 2 years. Getting a GC and then immediately deciding to not use it as intended (to reside permanently in the US) definitely complicates things.
  9. SalishSea
    Good point. OP, did you overstay the ESTA before filing?
  10. SalishSea
    Right. You have abandoned your AOS and ESTA is gone. Spouse needs to petition you for an IR/CR-1 visa. I understand that by adjusting from VWP, you may have been hoping to avoid the visa queue, but a trade-off of avoiding that is that you can’t come and go until you have a GC.

    It does not matter when you sent it, what matters is when it was received.
  12. SalishSea
    Your only choice would be to refile. If the requested evidence wasn’t received by their deadline, an appeal will be futile, as it was not their error.
  13. SalishSea
    That doesn't sound right. What makes you think the application hadn't been accepted? Accepted just means received and not rejected, a process that happens a week after you mail it. I have never heard of requesting a change to consular processing by sending a letter to USCIS. I think you would have to use an I-824.

    If MIT is your goal, you may want to write using proper spelling, grammar and syntax. The shorthand ("ur", "n" for and etc) you use in your posts is not typically used by adults in the United States.

    1) He was making conversation. He doesn't care whether you apply to MIT. 2) If you want to attend MIT or other university in the US, you need an F1, NOT a B visa. 3) If you truly just want to visit for tourism purposes, why are you so anxious and posting the same questions over an over, and why fixate on the conversation with CBP?
  16. SalishSea
    This was an American just making conversation with you. You are reading way too much into it.

    What an odd statement. They have created a mess for themselves by lying on the forms. They will be required to show either evidence of that marriage or evidence of a divorce.
  18. SalishSea
    No. The AP is done when the status changes to "ISSUED."
  19. SalishSea
    There is no "re-sending." YOU can file ADDITIONAL petitions for them. It will take a year, but they will get visas faster than in the family preference category.
  20. SalishSea
    Do you understand how the Visa Bulletin works? I feel like you do not, so I suggest reading up on it.
  21. SalishSea
    Correct, you cannot enter the US with a cancelled visa. Doubtful whether she would even be boarded by the airline.
  22. SalishSea
    Actually, more evidence is required for AOS than for the K-1. Way more.
  23. SalishSea
    In the late 1800s.
  24. SalishSea
    It may take 8-12 months for him to get AP. You will need a Plan B. K-1 is not a good choice if you want to be able to travel before the GC is received. Probably best if he delays travelling and sorts this out before coming over. In general, the visa will be valid for six months from the date of the medical.
  25. SalishSea
    Not only that, but he would have had to sign the I-864. I don't understand how someone could not recall this process.
