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

No. They used to be fee free when submitted with AOS, but this stopped earlier this year .. April?

Use the link given and follow the instructions. This is THE email.

The visa expiry date is usually set as 6 months after your medical date so that both are still valid when you enter .. So you will have less than 6 months from your interview.. how much less depends on when you do your medical prior to the interview. Don’t cut it close… illness, weather issues, transport strike.. only a few of the not out of the ordinary occurrences which can derail travel plans.. And an expired visa is not what you want at this stage.

Yes. As per instructions for the USCIS forms, this is correct. Top of page 6 in this document https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/Version_Preliminar_Edicion_12-23-22_USCIS_RECHAZARA_EL_FORMULARIO_SI_SE_PRESENTA_ANTES_DEL_12-23-22_Instrucciones_del_Formulario_I-485.pdf

No. No vaccination or medical requirements. You should read the USCIS guide for the N400. It sets out all requirements for naturalizing

You sister has been approved to petition you but thats all. You haven’t made it to the stage where you have applied for an immigrant visa.. That won’t happen until a visa becomes available .. The backlog due to more applicants than available visas each year. Hope this makes sense

Uscis is using SS quarters for a very different reason to SSI Income eligibility Makes sense to each individual agency We came on IR 5 .. we each had 36 and 21 quarters earned from previous time in the US .. thought we could add them together to meet the exception of over 40 but sadly it wasn’t saying what we thought it said
