IR 5 is one of the simpler Immediate relative category applications .. Very straightforward documentation From experience, as long as you (beneficiary) have no overstay, criminal issues, it is a DIY process. Happy to have you DM me

You need to also download the instruction pdfs for each form as they go into full detail of fees. These forms are often used for different reasons and hence some times there are additional fees, other times they are not applicable. Its really not possible for someone who doesn’t know the specifics of your situation to give anything more that general guidance Read those documents then come back with and specific questions you still have.

https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator I485. I131. I751 There are the usual concurrent filing. You may have medical costs depending on your K1 medical report

Doesnt work this way sorry. There is no work visa that applies to your situation

On the link website , do a search for complaint. There should be both an office phone number and an online form

As you say , their own documentation list the I797 for and I485 as an acceptable document of legal status Which DMV are you dealing with? @CrazyCat Can you provide some first hand suggestions on this ?

The I131 shows you are intending returning to the US to reestablish residency not just visit ( unless you apply again) before the permit expires, so that is good. Using the paper form allows you to write in the overseas address ( they already know you are there!!) and explain this in the additional notes section. Then use a family members address in the US as your mailing address. Use the State of your mailing address to determine where to mail the application

Is he in the military or on an overseas contract with a US based company ? Green Cards are for living in the US, not overseas. Did you get a reentry permit I131 before moving overseas ?

The beneficiary must upload their documents onto the CEAC site. The petitioner must upload the financial sponsorship documents. Beneficiary can have help uploading them ..

Ok. Thx. So you need to ensure that you get some confidence in the status of your previous I 407.

Did you complete the ROC process or leave before that went through. If before then your failure to complete it would have rendered the 2 yr GC expired and your LPR status abandoned.

I would try searching your email and computer files.

Yes i would use it if your repeated entry is questioned.

Multi entry , though, if your absence is under 12 months, you can just use your GC. Or, if you make multiple trips of over 6 months, use it each time, as it indicates your travels are temporary and that you retain your domicile in the US

You need to do an FOI request and see what is on file. But that won’t help your entry in January With hindsight, your January 2023 experience should have prompted that ..

Correct. The I131 is used for multiple reasons.. GC holders do not need to have planned travel or a stated reason. I obtained one when i was an LPR just in case i had to stay overseas with aging parents for an extended time. Never did have to use it .. but was glad that it was there if needed. One less thing i had to worry about

Child yes, non married partner no.

Yes i saw that .. thought i would just add the comment in case it was about to be LPR status

Yes agreed on CGT. If they have not yet gained LPR status then it’s best to sell it before they become LPR and that way its only “savings” when they transfer it. If they already have their GC, then that option is no longer available re OFX… over $1500 ( if i remember correctly) OFX charges no fee and their exchange rate can be up to 3% better than other methods.. significant when transferring bigger amounts such as from a property sale

I have v always used OFX

Correct. Itineraries are evidence of intent to travel not of the travel itself Any in country evidence such as hotels, credit card charges , entry / exit stamps?

The “ letter of the law” makes entering on a visitor visa/ or when using the VWP to enter .. with the intent of remaining and doing AOS .. fraudulent. But your explanations make it clear that this was not her intent .. even on this last entry.. and you had a compassionate CBP officer who suggested that a change of plans would be ok. So you are fine !! Members here get pretty testy with others who flaunt their intent to enter and adjust from a visitor visa and then get away with it. So you and your mum are fine .. hope you can understand the stronger comments that have been made .. not directed at you !! Enjoy being together. I spent 10 years ( 4 grandkids) doing the same. We then went through IR 5 for parents of USC.. 8 years later and 4 more grandkids some we arrived in 2016… and we know we close the v right path even though it leaves challenges for us with my own parents in their 90s still in Aust

Read the official instructions very very carefully for EVERY form you submit That way you know the info is current and not outdated. Official instructions even override the great guides on this website.. sometimes it takes a while for the guides to be updated when things are altered by the govt agency

You are not restricted to any option or method of paying your health care bills. Crowd health is not insurance. Read thoroughly before you decide

Moved to MENA regional sub forum for best possible local info
