1. I would file for divorce NOW before her ROC is approved because she'll have to switch to "ROC with divorce waiver" which if she doesn't and gets her GC AFTER divorce is final, she'll be in hot waters with USCIS come that citizenship that she's dreaming of. If I'm you, I'd use those evidences to swing divorce division of items in my favor BUT then 2. still send those evidence to USCIS fraud department too. The above 2 may be icing on the cake for her. As soon as you file divorce, stay away so as not be be accused of DV etc.

Your income seems sufficient to pay N400. Why do you want a waiver? You do know they're going to read your IRS tax transcript, right?

Sound like OP is the LPR

1. How's it the the minister's fault? 2. Additionally, it isn't USCIS' fault. . 3. You're wasting your time and I-290B 4. You're not getting any refund.

1. Correct. 2. Spend time knowing your neighborhood, driving, taking selfies at Walmart, learning to drive etc.

1. Correct way 2. Dead end. 3. None. Best is 1

@Jeanne Adil

How far after your 2 year anniversary did you arrive into the country?

Where did you get this information? You have a source? Something is wrong with your case. You need to start investigating from step 1.

Why did you change your name? Are you male or female. I know for some people, when married, they add their spouses name...I know some change their name. But why? Why did you? Curious And as @OldUser said, your US PP has Tunisia as your country of birth. Now, if by virtue of you being born in Tunisia, you acquire citizenship, well, immigration officials will know that AND would be curious as to WHY you changed your name entirely...there's a big difference between changing and adding spouse's name.

She should create her own account and add her receipt numbers. She can also do AR-11 online without creating an account

You'll either have to apply for the waiver with strong evidence or take the vaccine. As of now, I don't see you with the former.

You haven't got a GC since 2021? Which state for you live in? Are you sure you haven't missed mail due to the fact that you've listed your parent's address in another state and you keep moving?

Is she in or outside US?

Are you sure you understood @Boiler

Post April 01, some filers got receipts after 2 months. I would not fret. Just wait.

Check your mailbox on Wednesday

Actually, you did answer why she doesn't want to go back home. I don't think this reason is what a K-1 visa was intended for. And BTW, most people on this forum are immigrants, I included. So, we know when we know. You need to stop advising your friend as was already mentioned. VAWA isn't an option. She can only AOS through original K-1 petitioner, whose nest has been rattled and I would be extremely surprised if USC continues with AOS for her, given the circumstances you've mentioned. I'm out. Good luck

I did not make any unjustly assumptions. Whatever you described is a typical playback for some immigrants in an attempt to file VAWA. Years of experience on immigration forum will help you sniff this from afar. Abuse happens. But it is questionable when immigrant just landed and then abuse started next day, immigrant is already gathering "extensive evidence" etc. I would think that if indeed an abuse started on day 2 in US, an immigrant would be shocked or trying to go back home NOT starting a library of evidences. What's the aim of these evidences if not VAWA? Why doesn't she not want to go back home? You had implied she wants to stay in US. Additionally, didn't the 2 spend time abroad? It becomes questionable when as soon as immigrant lands on US soil, abuse starts day 2. The short time frame isn't doing any favors. For nearly most immigrants,their first months is full of discovering the new environment: A spouse trying to show you how the bus line works, huge supermarkets, getting DL, meeting neighbors etc... If your friend friend finds out she has no route in US other than AOSing via the K-1 petioner, it wouldn't be surprising if they suddenly made up. Honestly, there are 2 options: go back home OR fix it with the spouse. VAWA isn't looking great. So, what option will will she choose? Ask her and get back to us. And I'm very open minded. I do not advocate for abuse. At the same time, I don't support frivolous cases.

All within 4 months of being in US? Couples should be honeymoon-ing during this time but your friend is busy collecting "overwhelming evidence," knew how to find her way to police station, knew what VAWA is and is lining up with evidences? Most couples at this time are usually trying to get AOS package ready or trying a hail Mary SSN application while job hunting. And she has a restraining order ontop of the protective order? They're then not living in marital harmony, probably living separate. AOS isn't an option, therefore. I'm not to judge, but your friend has/is being coached.

I'll be blunt, direct and honest. I knew VAWA was the goal, right from your first post. See the response that I had pre-written below. Such a short time to have even known what a protective order is and how to file it. Seems your friend might be playing high stakes game. This looks really suspicious and coached.

She has an option of going back home, her only option IMHO. Marrriage seems already broken before it even started. Where's she from?

How long have they been officially married?

Valid

@brzfromfl we tild you so. Nothing you can do about her GC. She can't apply for citizenship because she broke her continous stay. Her GC is still valid. Nobody will bother her about anything. What we all here would suggest is for her to stay put till she's eligible again for N400, apply and be free to travel whatever and not be stuck in this same situation. Thanks for the update.
