    when you check in for your flight, present your U.S. passport. correct To use global entry to need to visit a global entry office and request to add your U.S. passport to your global entry record.
  2. Mike E
    Yes, as I posted before.

    Are you sure you did an I-864 and not an I-134? Regardless, Incorrect. I would expect the case to be denied without an I-864. This is controversial and complex. I advocate sending I-693, even though most I-485 from K-1 cases, legally do not require it.

    Does not matter. You need to file AR-11 each time you move so that the correct USCIS field office: * hosts your interview * issues any RFE * processes your RFE response * decides your case * hosts your oath 5 separate offices for the same state could manage each of the above 5 steps Failure to file AR-11 and then taking oath is dangerous and you will always be wondering when the recession notice is coming.

    Email it is.

    I do not know what, if any, form of written communication you have been using to communicate with the consulate.

    Send a concise note to the embassy, stating these facts, and request next steps by September 1. Include copies of the screen shot and email.

    Gender matters. IMO from posts on visa journey, all other things being equal, a female U.S. citizen petitioner who is 31 years older than a male beneficiary, from a non OECD country is more likely to have difficultly than a male U.S. citizen petitioner who is 31 years older than a female beneficiary, from a non OECD country.

    do you have this in writing? Do you have this in writing?

    1. What is a divorce certificate? 2. Any other boxes? 3. Did you include any documents that show that a divorce was filed?

    F2A RoW FA date would have to move from October 2017 to March 2023 in 2 years. IOW progress at a rate of 3 months for each month of elapsed time. What is the basis for your assertion?
  12. Mike E
    How long will it take? August 12, 2022, or August 12, 2023? Possibly that your lawyer is not competent. On I-751, part 3 “basis for petition” there are several check boxes. What boxes were checked? Fill out I-751 correctly, checking the box: 1.d. [ My marriage was entered in good faith, but the marriage was terminated through divorce or annulment And then submitting again

    Yes

    So in March 2023 you were age 20y 7m case took 2y 2m to approve. (20, 7) - (2, 2) = cspa age of 18y 5m as of March 2023. This will be 18y 10m in August 2023. F2A RoW final action date August 2023 visa bulletin is Oct 2017. There is faint hope this Oct 2017 date will progress significantly in the October 2023 visa bulletin which is at the beginning of FY2024. I agree with others that it is not looking good. Check back in 60 days, when the October 2023 visa bulletin comes out.

    When was your I-130 filed? When was it approved?

    If within the same states, this is never grounds for denial. It is possible for a USCIS service district to cross state lines, so for some reason the government allows that exception. Perhaps it is a throw back to the days when borders between states and territories were fluid.

    Unfortunately COs exercise practically unlimited discretionary power. I have seen cases like your approved with no drama, and others forced to get a joint sponsor despite having more than required minimum in liquid U.S. assets. To help your cause, you should move your assets to a high yield U.S. savings account at a U.S. bank denominated in U.S. dollars. Hopefully it will be enough. References to successful asset based I-864s: * This one was straight forward: * This one was a roller coaster; the correct result was arrived at but the twists and turns by the CO were infuriating:

    1. 3 months of continuous residency in the state or USCIS field office district where you reside 2. 18 months of physical presence in the US in the past 36 months 3. No single trip abroad in the past 36 months that was longer than 180 consecutive days 4. No activities abroad in the past 36 months that would break continuous U.S. residency, such as working abroad, or filing IRS taxes as a non resident 5. Living in a continuous martial union with a U.S. citizen for the past 36 months,

    Based on your timeline, yes, because you will have been an LPR for over 3 years. Marriage (if applicable): 2017-10-27 US Entry : 2019-09-09 Had you waited until the following month to enter the U.S., you would have received a ten year GC.

    Let me fix that for you: you will be screamed at if you get in the wrong line I’ve contributed all I can, and I don’t wish to argue or bicker, so I won’t post more in this thread.
  21. Mike E
    The above is why you left and why you stayed away. The above is why you feel safe to come back to America.
  22. Mike E
    Without a timeline, it would not be helpful for me to speculate. The focus now, needs to be on re-entering the U.S.
  23. Mike E
    OP has a 10 year GC
  24. Mike E
    1. No 2. Maybe
  25. Mike E
    whether you provide it or not, I expect USCIS will find it, and link it to the case For i-130, a U.S. passport is enough. For the visa it might be enough.
