  1. There is a possibility if you file today that you will be scheduled for an interview while on vacation.
  2. And I don’t see why there should be issues since B visa holders can come to USA without being married to U.S. citizens. It’s after you get your IR-1 that I see the possibility for an issue from CBP. CBP has previously made an (erroneous) ruling that your marriage isn’t valid and therefore the basis for your IR-1 is not valid (to CBP).
  3. Technically this is illegal, because you know she is a US citizen, but then again you did make an effort get her U.S. citizenship papers and were denied. If you identify her as a U.S. citizen (which legally you should) CBP will have to admit her. It can be messy. You can apply for her US passport. See also
  4. Good. Use the term celebration and not remarry in anything you send with your I-751. If the invitations and other collateral say remarry then keep this away from your I-751.
  5. I’m not understanding why you are filing I-485a instead of I-485.
  6. 5 year rule, but he needs 5 years of tax transcripts. Generally you can get the last 3 and sometimes 4 from irs,gov. He can bring all 5 to his interview if he is missing some.
  7. What do you actually mean by remarried? With few exceptions you cannot be married twice, even to the same person.
  8. Never heard of it and I recommend you do not try it. Every AR 11 I filed by mail was ignored by USCIS. Every AR 11 I filed online received two emails. An acknowledgment and a confirmation. Say USCIS then drops the ball and mails a notice like an interview or RFE to the old address. So you don’t know about it and case is denied. You then have evidence that lets you win your appeal or better yet convince USCIS to reopen your case. You do this by phone and you’ve no audit trail. Protect yourself and don’t make it unnecessarily complicated.
  9. File online Use the longest abbreviation for Palm Beach Gardens that you can construct from https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/28apc_002.htm that fits the online form. 9 digit zip + street address will be enough 99.99 percent of the time.
  10. 2 years of school records that don’t overlap with the 5 years of social security earnings records, would, imho, clinch his passport. OP should want to be a natural born U.S. citizen. It’s better.
  11. IOW without N-400 you would have celebrated the 4th birthday of your I-751 by now.
  12. 1. Resume, print out of LinkedIn profile, business card, employment verification letter, …. 2. write a signed statement.
  13. I agree the embassy is likely to reject 5 years of social security statements, given she has a nomadic past. 7 years would have been good. I agree that’s where you are headed but I will say again: you have to try and fail to get U.S. passport before getting an IR-2, unless you want to bank on the embassy being incompetent.
  14. Because if there is a reason why you have significant income that is generating significant assets yet isn’t being declared on a tax return, that has an impact on your ability to be a financial sponsor. I will leave you with these thoughts before I take my leave from this thread. 1. When it comes to immigration and naturalization, the path of least resistance is to file o income tax returns even if the IRS doesn’t require it. 2. You can file federal income taxes for free. 3. My I-864 was clean as a whistle and no RFEs, and I suspect that is true of most of the others try to help you. My beneficiary is interviewing for citizen in less than 2 weeks. So I might actually know what I am doing. Lots of that going around, Good luck with your immigration journey. I am out.
  15. How many years of social security statements? How long have you had these statements?
  16. You’ve aged out of CRBA so I would have and now will mention a U.S. passport. If she had 5 years of physical presence, 2 of which had to be after age 14, then if USCIS and the Department of State are competent. they will deny your IR-2. Still, I am increasingly less confident of their competence. I think you have to at least make an effort to try a U.S. passport. Once they deny you in writing, you can proceed with IR-1. USCIS and State should not operate that way but unfortunately they do.
  17. It’s Santa Fe County, NM, so I expect you are correct that he will get a sympathetic jury. Regardless he won’t do any time.
  18. 1. Was she born in the U.S. ? 2. Were your parents married before you were born? 3. Was she a U.S. citizen before you were born?
  19. Can you imagine a Congress without Lindsay Graham and the Cocaine Turtle? A new era is upon us!
  20. That’s an awful experience. Given CBP disagrees with the the law, USCIS policy manual, and State FAM, I wonder how you will be able to use your IR-1 visa now that CBP has you flagged. But once you find a way in, CBP won’t be able to legally prevent you from entering the U.S., though it can issue an NTA. And you will win in court. The decision from the judge will be your security blanket on subsequent returns to the U.S. Get global entry after you become an LPR.
