OP has not been active since March 2022. Their timeline indicates the AOS interview in March 2022 but no outcome/updates since then. Doubt you will get an answer

Because OP didnt pass the N400 requirements .. OP met several ofvthe requirements .. but not all. Not able to be given the “pass” for N400 until the ROC is approved first

It would be prudent to go asap to a Deferred inspection office of CBP. The visa needs the correct stamp as documentation of entry

Easy done. No need to remember. Carry a printed list with you to the interview . I compiled on in preparation for filling oit the N400

Yes she can travel. That is one of the reasons for stamping the visa. I used my stamped visa to reenter the US prior to receiving my physical GC It is to be used for this purpose prior to receiving the physical green card

😁They always look for continuity through the history.. marriage and divorce names must match .. dates are checked etc ..

1 normal.. they see it all online 2. yes.. not guaranteed but usually indicates that if the missing document is provided and approved then the visa will be approved 3 standard procedure to require documentation of ALL marriage/divorces. Im surprised you got through NVC without submitting this .

Any US tax year where a USC or LPR has financial interests outside the US which exceed $10000 USD. at any time during that year , must file FBAR by April 15th the following year. FinCentral publishes an official currency exchange rate on Dec 31 st each year. That rate is the one used to determine the value of non USD assets when filing the FBAR

Self employed evidrnce is the most recent tax return. Money can be moved into bank accounts to give the appearance of solvency .. so these don't really carry any weight.. and cant really be verified.. .. i doubt an IO will even look at them.

Yes

That the first marriage was bonafide and ongoing and not used for immigration and naturalization purposes. The shorter the time between naturalization, divorce and remarrying the higher the likelihood of scrutiny

Adjustment of status AOS requires you to remain in the US through the process You can apply for work authorization and advance parole card ( which allows you to return if you travel overseas ) but these applications take 8-9 months and until they are approved you cannot work, get a SSNumber, most states will not allow you a drivers licence.. or return to the US if you go overseas ( your AOS will be considered abandoned if you leave the US without this ) The actual AOS process takes 12-18 months. This is no easy route .. lots of challenges that many many underestimate.. are you really ready to not be able to work, drive, travel back to your home country and walk away from your current life /work/study/friends/family for the best part of the next 12 months. Short term gain of being together has cost many couples their long term relationship

Defacto relationships are not recognized by USCIS so unmarried relationships do not void the visa conditions But the history as you described may raise questions about the relationship especially if you have lived apart for many years. The question he will have to answer is “is it a marriage for the purpose of immigration “ You will need strong evidence of a bonafide marriage .

Yep. You are on the right track. Employees submit payslips as part of their I864 documentation… Self employed do not … the advice you were given related to the other poster’s circumstances .. not yours. Always use the official sources .. as you are doing .. NVC site as above PLUS the instructions sent to the beneficiary ( your mom) from the interviewing consulate. Each consulate has some specific directions and these can add to what is needed

Waste of money

Yes the stamped visa happens on entry. At POE .. When asked to confirm the address for the GC to be sent, you do not need to explain why there will be no GC.. just confirm the address The reason for doing SSN first is otherwise you would have to wait until after the US passport is received. The only downside of getting the SSN using the stamped visa is that it will list the child as an LPR.. after the US passport is in gand, make another trip to SSA snd update the info to citizen

If any of your trips in the past 5 years were over 180 days then you may not meet the continuous residency requirement. If this is the case you need to wait 1 days past 4 years since that last > 180 day trip before you file. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/chapter4.pdf

How does it bypass the domicile requirement? 2 different things You must demonstrate that you will be establishing domicile in the US either prior to or at the time the immigrant enters the US You must either be already in the US when your spouse enters or enter together What you do remove is tue need to have stable adequate income in the US at the time if the interview

Don't pay the GC fee. Go to the local SSA office within a few days of arrival with the passport and apply for the SSN in person Make an appt for the US passport application for him for as soon as you can after visiting the SSA office and apply for the passport. The order of these tasks is important as you need to submit the passport with the application.

The I864w is an exemption from the responsibilities of the I864 and your circumstances seem to meet the criteria But the fee for filing is not “exempted”. The fee reflects the NVC costs of the assessment of the documentation The instructions for the I864 state the same info for the fee ..

True but old school geography does not place Ireland as part of the Europe continent
