Because he likes both traveling and worrying. 😁

An additional note on necessary documents: the passport, obviously, and your marriage certificate IF you changed your name after marriage and the passport and EAD/AP names don't match.

I don't know if it will confuse CBP, but certainly it confused me and it seems you're confused as well. When entering the US no one will inquire about your flights. You go through immigration on the first city you land at, you present your GC, they ask a few questions, take your fingerprint and you're good to go. If your next flights are domestic, you won't go through immigration again.

I'd skip that quick trip and stick to just the one your B1 was approved for.

I'm truly sorry you're going through this horrible situation. I can think of two things you could do: - call customer service again and ask for a Tier 2; they can actually do something beyond just seeing your case (they are able to request for the file to be sent to NVC); - if that fails, try contacting someone higher up at USCIS. I'm including a link with the list of directors at USCIS; even though it does not include an email for them, you should be able to find it if you Google the specific name. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/organization/leadership

Indeed the NIV's should be revoked/canceled if the IV's are approved. My guess is that if the IV's are denied, the NIV's could be revoked as well, but, as per the following paragraph, in such case, you can argue the decision: "FAM 403.11-4(A) (U) Visa Revocations by Consular Officers (CT:VISA-1275; 05-10-2021) (U) Although the decision to revoke a visa is a discretionary one, you should not use this authority arbitrarily. When practicable, you must: (1) (U) Notify the individual of the intention to revoke the visa; (2) (U) Allow the individual the opportunity to show why the visa should not be revoked; and (3) (U) Request the individual to present the travel document in which the visa was issued" Regarding all the grounds for revocation, you can read the following links (both are the source of the extracts I've shared): https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/22/41.122#d https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM040311.html

Found it: SUBCHAPTER E - VISAS PART 41 - VISAS: DOCUMENTATION OF NONIMMIGRANTS UNDER THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT, AS AMENDED Subpart L - Refusals and Revocations 22 CFR § 41.122 - Revocation of visas. (a) Grounds for revocation by consular officers. A consular officer, the Secretary, or a Department official to whom the Secretary has delegated this authority is authorized to revoke a nonimmigrant visa at any time, in his or her discretion. [...] (e) Revocation of visa by immigration officer. An immigration officer is authorized to revoke a valid visa by physically canceling it in accordance with the procedure described in paragraph (d) of this section if: (1) The alien obtains an immigrant visa or an adjustment of status to that of permanent resident.

Have you called NVC or contacted the embassy? That's almost two years!

OMG! That's so unacceptable! Maybe try the Ombudsman. https://www.dhs.gov/case-assistance

I'm truly sorry. As if the immigration process was not stressful enough. Here's a thread with detailed steps on what you can do to solve the issue:

You definitely must respond to that RFE before deadline. What you can do is sending a copy of the DS-3025 and a letter saying you already sent that with your initial application and including the USCIS text that indicates the I-693 for K1 is not required for AOS as it was handed in a sealed packet to CBP at port of entry.

If you carry the unexpired undamaged EAD/AP card - plus any other necessary document-, you have no criminal record, your name is not the same as someone from the most wanted list, you don't travel to a banned country, you don't behave like an unhinged person with the CBP agent and there are no more pandemic related restrictions, there is no risk.

None on EAD/AP that I know of. Why are you so concerned?

Entry can be denied regardless of the document you use, meaning the EAD/AP per se does NOT pose a risk of being denied entry to the US as long as it is unexpired.

Many countries around the world have changed formats and paper throughout the years. It is possible that a specific embassy/ consulate requires the "newest" format rather than a really old one. It is likely that the OP mistakenly used the term "expired".

Crazy. We started in 2017 with the K1, been married for five years and all we have is an expired GC, an extension letter and no end in sight. The system is horribly flawed.

I think they are used to those weird discrepancies. Just make sure you fill the legal name fields AND other names fields.

It works on the app but not when I try to open with Chrome. My thread has absolutely zero relevance but the forum is pretty slow today. Guess people are out having a life? 😅

What I am saying is that members have shared that just the admission of substance use in the past -such as smoking weed some time before medical- has led not to inadmissibility based on criminal grounds but the mandatory rehab program and consequent delay of the visa process. Now, you are not specific regarding the drug. I am not sure if the possession and use of certain drugs would be considered as an inadmissibility on criminal grounds. And yes, everything is communicated to the Consulate.

When was the petition approved and when did you file the I-864? And are you a citizen or an LPR?

No reason to be concerned. The approved petition is valid for four months and the validity can be extended up to a year if necessary.

So that one should not be revoked during interview? What about the wife's TN?

I'll try to be clearer this time. LOL OP is concerned about having the current visas revoked, which is likely. And there's also the possibility of the visa being delayed or denied. So, what I'm wondering is if it is possible to continue with the I-140 not through consular processing but with a concurrent I-485 using the one they already filed - which was originally based on their current visas-. That way they don't need to leave the US, abandon AOS and pay for a new I-485.

Print the reciprocity documents text that states certified copies are not available in Brazil and include it in the RFE response.
