  • Our Story
    We met online while I was looking for travel information. He said hello, we chatted a couple of minutes but he didn't have any useful information. So I forgot about it. He said hello again a few days later, and we began to have more frequent and longer chats and talked on Skype. I had planned a vacation in Panama already for a few months later and we net for the first time then. We married in Iceland on a trip to Europe. Honeymooning in Paris and Rome was such a treat, we managed to pull off with low season travel deals and points. The visa process really went smoothly and I have been happy every day to finally have him here!

    I would check your case online. You’re right to be suspicious. They much prefer to do everything in writing, even if by emails. I’ve heard of scammers posing as immigration.

    There’s not a specific time, but the green card processing begins after you pay it. Preferably before arrival but it doesn’t have to be. The earlier you pay the fee the sooner you get the green card.

    You shouldn’t have a problem since you didn’t move during that time. Six months away is when you would start to worry. I think you’re overthinking it.

    It wouldn’t be worth pursuing an exception based on the extra year-you’d spend that year trying to prove it if it were a real thing. I would just wait for the 5-year mark at this point. Doing the 3-year is also fine but the marriage thing is one more administrative layer that can delay things unexpectedly.
  13. bakphx1
    It’s automatic. You don’t designate which you want at application. They issue the appropriate one based on the the number of years married at the time the card is produced. You shouldn’t do anything.
  14. bakphx1
    The only time citizenship would be questioned would be a case of fraud, which this clearly isn’t. I think they just want to clear out the cases and years from now, no one is going to care about a few weeks’ difference.

    I should’ve clarified that I meant that filing the form is easier. I spent a lot of time with the first two (mostly on the supporting paperwork). I’m not saying they rubber stamp it-they certainly do a lot of review and you should only file with no unresolved legal or tax problems.
  16. bakphx1
    You can file for citizenship. It’s actually easier than the I130 & I-751. The will likely do a combo interview for citizenship. Both of you should go just in case. I’ve seen some people say the citizenship piece gets delayed while they catch up with the I-751. You can proceed with citizenship though.

    Being a widow or married isn’t the issue. She is a permanent resident for life unless she abandons the green card. Even if her husband were alive she would be in the same boat-if she’s been out of the US for years, they will consider her to have abandoned her green card unfortunately.
  21. bakphx1
    I thought you were in removing conditions, but I think she can try to adjust status on her own. Also uphill since she is getting a marriage based green card and is not in a bona fide marriage
  22. bakphx1
    If she’s just now removing conditions and you’re not divorced-well, she’s in a bad position if you don’t cooperate. She has to be divorced to do it on her own. Do what you want with that info. You are just theoretically responsible for her having a place to be to not require government assistance. If she ran off with a broke dude, she made the choice

    I don’t think you can technically divorce if you weren’t legally married. It should be annulled though.

    I think the entry stamp can be worked around as they will use their own information and they have record of her arrival. If it’s requested as a document in AOS, I would write a cover letter explaining it. I don’t think they would hold everything up to make you provide information that they already have

    One instruction is to contact the embassy that processed the visa, though it doesn’t really say what happens there. The only thing is if she has already arrived and her info is in the system, you may not need to provide a physical passport to adjust status at this point. I didn’t go through that process so I may be wrong-but they already have it digitally and you have pictures of it. The green card doesn’t depend on a physical passport. From there, options don’t look super convenient -cross to Mexico by land and get a new passport at an embassy there as she can cross back with a green card alone (by land, not air). Or wait three years and apply for citizenship and get a US passport. That’s assuming contacting the embassy that did her visa won’t help.

    It’s not mandatory at all. It won’t affect anything.
