Congrats. She should have stopped after you got 6 correct or 5 wrong.

Why? If you want to see your N-400, you will need to do a FOIA

If N-400 was filed online, you should be able to get N-400 from your online account.

If her name changed, yes. List the question that troubles you.

AFAIK, the U.S. consulate in Montreal will require her to be living in the U.S. before it will issue you a visa. I see this discussed on VJ several times a year. Depends on the consulate or case. Here is a case where the case was approved with just an I-864, and the asset listed was that of the alien spouse (and the asset was foreign real estate. I was stunned). That is recommended. For another successful asset based case see

From that link: Before you make an appointment, please follow these steps: Apply for an individual taxpayer identification number through the Internal Revenue Service. Ok, as a K-1, OP likely has an SSN File Maryland income taxes for the 2 years before you seek a driver's license and obtain a certification letter in order to make an appointment with the MDOT MVA. Click here for more information. As a K-1 who entered the U.S. in 2022, it is safe to say OP has not filed 2021 Maryland taxes.

The movie attempts to raise enough awareness of an issue. Perhaps the fear is that Minor Attracted People will have a diminished supply.

Cool. These will be needed for I-485

And many people speed on the freeway and do not get caught. You have admitted to not complying with the requirements of LPRs status: Thus your argument boils to do because you and others did not get caught: * OP is unlikely to get caught * Not getting caught makes it OK. * So go for it OP! I speed all the time. Have not been caught since the 1980s. I do not advise others to speed. This thread is full of VJ T&C violations. I am out.

If you have had sexual intercourse with your bf in a state or country that requires you disclose your HIV status to him, then you have broken the law. You will be required to disclose this crime as part of the end to end process to get a green card. If not the K-1, then surely the I-485. I believe your U.S. immigration journey is over.

I suspect it is mostly familiarity with their own country’s divorce system. Some U.S. states have longer cooling off periods too.

I am surprised they waited until they entered on their DVs to get divorced. Usually fraudsters get divorced before they enter on their immigration visa.

The FRP processes promote family unity and are part of the comprehensive measures announced in April by DHS and the Department of State. The new processes are for nationals from Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras whose family members are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and who have received approval to join their family in the United States. Specifically, nationals of these countries can be considered for parole on a case-by-case basis for a period of up to three years while they wait to apply to become a lawful permanent resident. “These new processes promote family unity and provide lawful pathways consistent with our laws and our values,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “The Department has proven that the expansion of safe, orderly, and lawful pathways, combined with strong enforcement, is effective in reducing dangerous, irregular migration to the United States.” Certain nationals of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who are beneficiaries of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative may be eligible to be considered for parole under the new processes. Qualifying beneficiaries must be outside the United States, meet all requirements, including screening and vetting and medical requirements, and must not have already received an immigrant visa. The processes begin with the Department of State issuing an invitation to the petitioning U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member whose Form I-130 on behalf of a Colombian, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, or Honduran beneficiary has been approved. Beneficiaries awaiting an immigrant visa could include certain children and siblings of U.S. citizens and certain spouses and children of permanent residents. The invited petitioner can then initiate the process by filing a request on behalf of the beneficiary and eligible family members to be considered for advance travel authorization and parole. The new processes allow for parole only on a discretionary, case-by-case, and temporary basis upon a demonstration of urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, as well as a demonstration that the beneficiary warrants a favorable exercise of discretion. Individuals paroled into the United States under these processes will generally be considered for parole for up to three years and will be eligible to request employment authorization while they wait for their immigrant visa to become available. When their immigrant visa becomes available, they may apply to become a lawful permanent resident. The Immigration and Nationality Act authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security, in his discretion, to parole noncitizens into the United States temporarily on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. The parole authority has long been used to establish FRP processes administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, including the Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program, which was established in 2007, and the Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program, which was established in 2014. The Federal Register Notices for Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras provide more information on the FRP process and eligibility criteria.

I saw a case where after 6 months into the “wrapping up”thing including 2 intermediate trips to the US, CBP questioned whether the LPR was actually living in the U.S. It got worse on the next trip, 2 months later. No absence exceeded 180 days. 6 months from “resident since” until CBP noticed surprised me, as I had bought into the Visa Journey conventional wisdom on the unwritten “wrapping up rule”, even though I have been recommending applying for a re-entry permit during “wrapping up”. Well there is no “wrapping up” rule, and OP is trying for a new record: 4.8 months.

You forgot: your husband.

I am. Hence the question.

You imply that I of all people would suggest an LPR would be denied entry? Another baseless inference. What I did write, in a subsequent comment is: Starting off life as an LPR with warnings from CBP is not good. Disagree. LPR status is for living in the U.S. OP is not planning to live in the U.S. Filing I-131 is insurance. Even you concede the possibility of a secondary (which I did not predict). Would you rather she enter that secondary with a pending re-entry permit or without a pending re-entry permit?

How old were these family members when she was born? Are either family member her parent? Were the originals of these affidavits given to the embassy? If so, have they been returned? Is the Village chief also the Medical Officer. If not, that affidavit might not acceptable as per https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Burma.html Request a birth record from the Health Department in the applicant’s city of birth. If the Health Department does not have the applicant’s birth record, you should submit the following with your immigrant visa application: Each of these documents must be notarized. A letter from the Medical Officer of the city’s Health Department that states the applicant’s birth record is not available; Again though: does she now have possession of this original statement? It is strange and infuriating that since she was under age 16 when she left Burma that they are asking for a pice certificate from Burma. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#6 “Police certificates from your present country of residence and all countries where you have lived for six months or more since age 16 (Police certificates are also required for accompanying children age 16 or older)”

You were misinformed. There is no maximum absence of 180 days in a calendar year rule. If there was, some LPRs would do stuff like be absent September 15 - April 15 every other year. That is still an absence in excess of 180 consecutive days. Legally the CBP officer at the port of entry has to admit you. Actual CBP officers will look at your pattern of presence in and absence from the U.S. even if your absence is under 181 consecutive days. If they see you spending more time absent than present (as you are planning) they might warn you.

What did they say?

They can keep asking for more stuff as they continue their review of the case. The heavier a rocket, the more fuel it needs. The more fuel it needs, the heavier the rocket. The longer administrative processing (AP) takes, the greater the opportunity to find new issues which can lengthen AP. The embassy should have informed the beneficiary prior to the interview that it wanted the police certificate. Does the beneficiary have a Burmese birth certificate?

This confuses our Central Chimpanzee. The fact is CBP has been known to pressure new LPRs who do not live in the U.S.

You are not allowed to enter on TN with intent to adjust status to an LPR.
