Yes. Try to correct with DS-160, and then at interview. She will need a passport in her new name. Does her new name incorporate any of your names?

You need to file I-824 to fix this.

Then the answer is clearly yes

She will likely need a police certificate from Kosovo. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Kosovo.html says she will also need court records. So start reading that link and get started on this.

Read the visa bulletin link. As of today, you are looking at least 5 years for EB-2 and 7 years for EB-3. This time next month month I expect these times to improve. https://immigration.net/2023/06/15/the-coming-apocalypse-for-employment-based-immigrantswhat-the-current-backlog-in-perm-labor-certifications-dol-prevailing-wage-requests-and-pending-and-approved-i-140s-means-for-future-visa-b/ Think in terms of 10 years as I wrote before.

You will need new I-864s, with new tax return transcripts and new documentation of income.

Has she lived in other countries?

Try to get your BC corrected.

Yes. Also sometimes EB-3 has a shorter wait time. Until 2023, some people were doing EB-2 to EB-3 downgrades.

It does. But this is N-600K and even more so. But compared to IR-2, N-600K is a bargain.

Yes because he is the one with 5 years of physical presence.

How many days was her longest absence?

I am assuming the alleged victim is your wife. She will be advised by her immigration lawyer to withdraw her I-130 and I-864. If so, you will not be able to get a GC through your wife. If found guilty, and USCIS learns of the conviction, it is likely your GC will be denied or revoked. not legally. And if you over stay, you will have to serve a 10 year ban once your sibling based 2020 priority date becomes current. In theory You need to get the criminal case dismissed or you need to be acquitted. Was your wife abusive of you? If so, you might have a VAWA claim.

As noted there are higher qualifications for EB-2 An EB visa is a single entry immigration visa. Once one enters the US on any type of immigration visa, one becomes a lawful permanent resident (LPR). If one pays a separate immigrant fee, one will get a green card after entering the U.S. on the immigration visa. Until the green card is in hand, the stamped visa acts as a temporary green card for one year. A green card and a stamped visa are called I-551s. An I-551 is evidence of LPR status. EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 lead to 10 year GCs. EB-5 leads to 2 year GCs, and the so called LPR status requires a removal of conditions.

Right now yes. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-september-2023.html Your category is Employment based 3rd aka EB-3. This category was current for years, and in 2023 it retrogressed. There is faint hope it will be current in October 2023. With a master’s degree, EB-2 opens up to you. Shorter wait. If you find an employer that is willing to transfer, you should have a GC in hand in less than 10 years.

As @Ontarkie attested, this is not enforced nor is enforcement constitutional as per courts. If one is traveling by third party commercial carrier, such as ferry, bus, train, with at least one exception (see below) the carrier is required to deny boarding without a WHTI travel document. Regardless each day, thousands of U.S. citizens re-enter the U.S. on cruise ships without WHTI documents, as the cruise industry and CBP have negotiated an exception to the carrier rule if the ship returns to the original port of departure.

Given there is no master’s degree …. Find a job with company that has operations in the U.S. Apply to transfer to the U.S. Your employer will sponsor you for an L-1B visa. L-1B is dual intent. Once in the U.S., your employer can start the EB-3 green card process. It will be several years before you can file to adjust status.

Btw, given the above, if you are under age 26, you need to register for the military draft. See sss.gov . Register online if you have an SSN or file by mail if no SSN.

If their children are under age 21, naturalizing will * reduce a wait of over decade to 2 years * make it impossible for children of their children to immigrate with their patents

Even if approved, I doubt any claims would be approved. This should have been purchased before you bought a plane to ticket Get married in Vegas ( @Loren Y ) today or this week, and get on your spouse’s health insurance.

No Yes. And I did not list a preparer.

For not presenting a passport? It is the U.S. abusing you for imposing a 2 month wait for “expedited” service. If the U.S. government was competently in run, then you would pay a passport application fee at your N-400 interview and be handed your passport(s) when you took oath of U.S. citizenship. Gallery: “Yeah but other countries work the same way” Me: ”The U.S. isn’t other countries. Other countries don’t land humans on the moon. We immigrated here because the U.S. is the best country. So start giving us what we paid thousands of dollars to get.” The CBPO on the return might scream at you. Shrug it off. An armed CBPO earning $100K+ a year who gets so easily offended and feels abused should get a life and a job at What-A-Burger. Caveat: if you have global entry, do not do this.

Why would you not present your EU passport to CBSA? Yes. It is your right. If you have an eTA. By land yes. A photo copy of your naturalization certificate works too. This way your naturalization certificate can go to work on your passport while you are gone. Niagara Falls on the Canadian side is said to be prettier.
