Legally he would have to be issued a 10 year gc. Sometimes mistakes are made, but even with a mistake he would file I-90 for free versus paying to file I-751.

In that thread I linked, American was also going to strand the OP. Eventually American called CBP, which gave clearance to board. Expect the worst and you will be prepared. DHS’s implementation of I-551 is just a mess and I’m not surprised airlines have I-551 fatigue. It also doesn’t help that sometimes when airlines call CBP, the B-team answers the phone.

If the visa is issued before the 2 year anniversary of your marriage, and if the expiration date of the visa is after your 2 year marriage anniversary, then he should delay entering the U.S. until the 2 year marriage anniversary. Visas tend to expire 6 months after the medical examination and the medical examination tends to be several weeks or less before the interview Similarly you should delay filing I-864 to ensure he doesn’t have to enter the U.S. before your two year marriage anniversary. I can imagine the above runs counter to what your heart wants but it is best to avoid I-751

Longer than most other countries If you’ve been married less than 2 years you don’t want this to move too fast because you don’t want to deal with I-751.

It does now in general. This will vary by consulate. How long have you been married?

File I-751. Receive a 2 year extension letter. Pack the 2 year extension letter in your carry on bag for your trip whether your gc has expired or not. When you return to the USA, present your gc to the airline (which must not be Delta, Spirit, or Turkish) and CBP. If your gc has expired, present your extension letter to the airline and to CBP as well. CBP might ask for your extension letter regardless whether you gc has expired. Our experience: * filed I-751 in October 2021 * went on two cruises in November and December 2021. Carried extension letter. Was not asked. December was at Miami cruise port which uses facial recognition and doesn’t check documents. * Took a cruise on a Friday in January, 2 days before the gc expired. As the gc was due to expire during the cruise, presented the extension letter. Front line personnel had no clue. Second line personnel had no clue. After an hour we got to third line personnel who had a clue. Upon return, CBP didn’t look at the extension letter. * February 2022, flew to Cancun. Front line and second line airline employees clueless. Third line had a clue and we were checked in. At the departure gate we go through the same drama. Upon arrival in Mexico the federal border officer accepted the extension letter and gc. On the return, first line airline employee had a clue. Upon arrival, CBP asked for extension letter and verified the case status online before admitting us * July 2022 flight to Canada. Nightmarish checkin because airline refused to check us in without using their kiosk. 3rd line airline employee let us check in. Return from Canada was a breeze and CBP verified case status on extension letter. God I hate extension letters and for that matter green cards. I had a green card over 30 years. Never a problem flying with a gc, a Canadian passport, and white skin. My wife with her gc, Burmese passport, and golden skin has a much different experience. Airlines are among the most racist entities I’ve seen. Hopefully by March 1 her travel nightmares end with a U.S. passport in hand.

Certainly

Legally you can use it. Practically some under trained airline employees won’t let you. See, I would avoid traveling on these three airlines: * Delta * Spirit (the airline listed in the post I linked) * Turkish All three have stranded LPRs with valid I-551s. Whatever you do, don’t stay abroad more than 180 days and don’t let your I-551 expire before coming back to the USA. And don’t be tempted to have someone mail you your green card.

Cool. Screen shot that now. As you get get closer to March 12, 2023, expect USCIS to change this date. They did this to my wife with her I-751. In first week of October 2022 her date for when she make an inquiry was listed date later in October. Then several days later it changed to a date in 2023. Sneaky and we weren’t going to have any of that and I was preparing to sue. But then USCIS approved her case. So if I-130 is not approved by March 12, 2023, then file a writ of mandamus and an administrative procedures act lawsuit based on the two screen shots. You might want to insert the screen shots into an Affidavit where you attest to have taken the screenshots yourself on December 26, 2022, and then sign the affidavit in front of a notary.

Lots of flawed arguments along the lines of: “I drove 75 mph in a 65 mph zone and the state trooper didn’t pull me over for speeding so it must be ok”

Thanks. Screenshot that now as you might need it later for a potential law suit. On that same screen there should be this: “When can I ask about my case? Many routine factors impact how quickly a case is processed. We only allow inquiries for cases that are well outside the processing time listed above. Learn more about the Case Inquiry Date. Enter your receipt date below to find out if you can contact us with questions. When is your receipt date? Get Inquiry Date” What do you get when you enter your receipt date?

Thanks. What does: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ say?

When you enter the case status at USCIS.gov what does the web site say?

Frame it and post it in your bed room as a daily reminder of what not to do. You should develop future habits that avoid the need to file I-193 in the future. So stop leaving the USA for a long time and stop letting your I-551 expire while abroad. I think you should stay in the USA for 5 straight years and file for naturalization

Lots of bluster and lies intended to break your spirit. Total violation of policy. What was the port of entry?

good 1. Is he planning on doing this after you enter the USA on your immigration visa? 2. Are you going to live in the USA or abroad after you enter the USA on your immigration visa? 3. Is your husband a U.S. citizen or LPR? Yes. If he isn’t inside the USA before you arrive on your immigration visa, you legally cannot be admitted on your visa. All financial sponsors of an immigrant must be physically present in the USA the moment before the immigrant enters the USA.

Is this a biometric at a CBP office or a USCIS office? You were admitted as a returning resident. You are ok. Congratulations. good. I doubt it.

What can I say? That isn’t what is being reported for the facial recognition kiosks. If you don’t want to try that’s fine. A famous immigrant to America once said you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.

that’s how we did our I-751. We moved several times during I-751 and filed AR-11s for most moves, keeping the same mailing address The green card will go to the mailing address.

USCIS forgives. BP and ICE don’t. Once BP or ICE enters the picture, USCIS loses jurisdiction to immigration court.

Yes. It is better to keep filing I-485 serially

They need to show that their ties to Morocco are stronger than their ties to to the U.S. Given they have a child who lives in the U.S. and is eligible to become a U.S. citizen, they have strong ties to the U.S. This will count against them. So they will need to show strong ties to Morocco: * other children (especially any under age 18) * jobs * deed or lease on a home * a parent who requires their help

Mingalarbar. The Fiancee visa is no longer the fastest way for her to get to the U.S. Marry her now using Utah Remote Appearance marriage service: https://www.utahcounty.gov/dept/clerkaud/PassMarr/RemoteAppearanceFAQ.asp Then, after you meet her in person, follow this process: If her immigration visa is issued before your 2 year wedding anniversary and the expiration date of the immigration visa is after your 2 year wedding anniversary, she should wait to travel until the day of the 2 year wedding anniversary. This way she will get a 10 year green card and avoid I-751.

They can detain because they have firearms. But it is against published policy: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-3671?language=en_US#:~:text=The CBP officer will collect,final determination on your case The emboldened are inconsistent with being detained for days, though I will concede that the laws of physics do not preclude this. Even U.S. citizens can be detained for days by CBP.

There were 5 golden tickets. I doubt there have been as many invitations from USCIS to post a public charge bond. I like the idea of public charge bonds versus the I-864 system.
