  1. Was expecting a tie in between slicing the ball on an errant swing and decapitation by a sword. Instead I am disappointed.
  2. @mseck8688 https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/145jli7/i751_n400_interview_experienceThis reddit post details what happened when at an N-400 interview when the applicant owed taxes.
  3. Some counties and some states offer this, despite it proving nothing. Maricopa and Arizona do not seem to be among them.
  4. Try this https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-announces-additional-mail-delivery-process-for-receiving-adit-stamp
  5. 1. The date I-140 was filed. The I-140 receipt has this. If you do not have the receipt (if this was filed by an employer, it is not unusual for an employer to withhold this) hopefully you know the case number. From the case number you should be able to get the date of filing. 2. See 1
  6. Perhaps. See Photos resulted in a skeptical ISO becoming a believer and thus got the couple approval.
  7. You already did that and it failed “Alternate Documents: See comments section. Exceptions: None” No exceptions. The good news is late registration marriage certificates are accepted. Prepare for a DNA test RFE.
  8. @beloved_dingo beat me to it. Technically CBP can levy an I-193 fee, but I have never seen this happen. If I-485 is approved, the 180 day clock starts immediately, and I would proceed home once the “card is in production” status appears.
  9. Per https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/AILA/AILA-National-Visa-Center-QA-Responses-Nov-2-2017.pdf the CSPA age freezes only when the PD is current per the Final Action Date chart. You wrote: So there is no CSPA age yet. Trends are not good on the visa bulletin in 2023. There is faint hope: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-updates/20230214-CSPA.pdf “ explains that USCIS considers a visa available for purposes of CSPA age calculations at the same time USCIS considers a visa available for accepting and processing the adjustment of status application.” Currently USCIS uses the filing date chart for family based petitions when filing I-485. There is speculation DoS will adopt this policy.
  10. Yes: What is interesting is that the linked article says TX does not void first cousin marriages that were solemnized out of state. The fact that TX criminalizes cohabitation is sufficient grounds for DoS to deny the visa. Issuing marriage visas, especially CR-1 visas, to people the law prohibits from living together would be illogical. They would never be able to get I-751 approved: * if they live together, beneficiary is a criminal * if they do not, couple is not in a bonafide marital union
  11. A first for me. A notario that gives sound advice versus taking a victim’s money.
  12. Concurrent packets are for when the beneficiary is inside the U.S. and wants to file I-485. Words have meaning: You said you are pursuing a visa. Where is the beneficiary today? Inside the U.S. or outside the U.S.?
  13. Alas on VJ we have seen several cases where when the beneficiary intends to reside in TX while being married to a first cousin, DoS rejects the visa or USCIS rejects the I-485. So as it stands, it appears DoS is unwilling to challenge TX on this.
  14. Sorry after the thread was merged, it seems my Follow was cleared, so I did not see your comment. Yes that is what you should do. If so, enter FNU for the first name. But hopefully not. Try.
