My advice is to divorce and move on. Cut your ties. And also, for next future endeavors, be more "alert". There is no way you don't know if you have been through the AOS process or not!

Yes! Wasn't it during October?

Are you talking about you filing your N400 in January, or your taxes? If you are talking about your taxes, yes, the TTax PDF serves that purpose. Also, IRS tax transcript is usually generated within a month of filing, so you'd have it by February. You don't mention your field office, but my N400 took about 7 months from the time I submitted to when I had my interview. If you file now, you're probably having your interview in April- May 2024 and your tax transcript will be ready by then. Additionally, if you're truly worried about it, file your taxes first, and file your citizenship after that.

What’s the bar exam for?

Nope, that's not an EMERGENCY, otherwise everyone would be applying for it. They mostly work when it's a concerning immediate health reason for the USC -and no, mental health in the sense of "I miss my SO" does not qualify. I just read that it's a J1 visa waiver subject to the 2 year HHR -forget about it. The US funds the program, and they are very strict about it. Also, with such a short program duration, her J1 could clearly be labelled as "fraudulent" since she's seeking an immigration benefit immediately after a short program. They might think she'd planned out this to begin with before applying for the J1. Big no no.

They rarely work. And in the rare case where they work, it's because the one needing immediate assistance is the USC, not the intending immigrant.

I don't want to sound condescending or mean, please apologies if I do, but either get an attorney or a preparer to file for you, or spend some significant time here in VJ to educate you and your wife about how the process works and what to expect. There is absolutely no way your green card will be here by the time you plan on travelling. What you will get is a 48- month extension letter, which she will need in order to get back to the US, and to prove status in general. For the trip, she should take her passport, her expired green card, the extension letter and your marriage certificate if she has changed her name to yours. You should really just use your new address from now on. As others have stated, USCIS can do surprise visits, if they go your parents' house none of you are living there. Better to keep everything streamlined. Also, sign up for USPS informed delivery with your new address so that you can know what you're getting in your mail daily. Please read the Removing conditions on this website WITH YOUR WIFE today. Make sure you both understand the process. Do come back with questions.

What is the basis for the green cards to begin with?

Why are you filing I-90? What immigration benefit are you trying to apply for?

@Kawika & Michellehow did the interview go?!

When I filed my N400 (January of this year) my I-751 was still pending, so I uploaded documents from the moment I submitted my 751 until the moment I filled my N400. For example, bank statements, health insurance policies, etc. I did not repeat any documents except for the marriage certificate, and our title property. The title property had already been submitted with the 751, but I just wanted them to understand that we own our house, so there was no joint lease. My 751 was approved about 5 weeks prior to my N400 interview, so for my interview I just brought N400 updated documents. The officer did not request to see anything, and it felt more like an informal conversation than an interview. I still encourage you to bring updated documents because it is better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them. Off- note: My 751 was approved in the midst of an international trip. So if your 751 is pending, go ahead, take that trip, it might knock it lose hahahaa.

The deadline for submitting 2023 taxes is April 15th, 2024. USCIS cannot request to see 2023 taxes before then.

Reaching out by itself won't do anything. Either serve them with a Mandamus lawsuit, or file for N400.

I doubt he pulled their case… if he’s not sure he filed an i-864.

So you never signed a form I-864? If so, what makes you think it will get approved?

Did you receive an acknowledgement that USCIS received the divorce decree? You want to make sure they did, because if they did not, and somehow her green card is approved, you might be on the hook for the I-864. And yes, she will for sure have issues when trying to get a green card through her new boo, but that's her issue, not yours. Cut your ties lose.

Did you inform USCIS of the divorce? Did you ever have an interview?

How can we know? What's the question for us?

Usually those services are skyrocketing expensive, and unnecessary. What OP needs to do is to read the information presented on the ICA webpage to check on the requirements to leave Colombia. On the U.S side, he'll most likely need a broker, especially if the pet is flying as cargo and will have to be picked up at a cargo facility. Last but not least, OP will need to pay the import fee at cargo. These offices handle payment in different ways, so you need to know these things beforehand. For example, Cargo JFK ONLY takes cash, whereas cargo Miami ONLY takes cc

My help on this is somehow limited since my dog came from Argentina, which is low risk. However, there are a few things that are universal. First of all, you don’t mention the breed. But that is very important, because not all airlines will fly certain breeds and if they do, you need to know if they fly with her or as cargo, and the kennel requirements. If they fly cargo, you will need a customs broker, which requires its own paperwork and timing. You also need to check the Colombian requirements for exporting dogs.

Right before you're sworn in at the interview, you'd let the officer know that there is a question that MIGHT need correction. Write an errata sheet, then when you get to that question explain yourself, and let the officer decide. Take all of the relevant documentation. I never took a CCW class, but my husband has been teaching me how to operate a gun. I answered yes to the question, the officer changed it to "no" and annotated "informal" if that helps

Paging @Crazy Cat

ok

You'd get more accurate replies if you post on the African forum

But you went to check what they did two days prior to the interview.... So again, the interview was your chance to correct anything that was misleading. It's somehow true that who you are travelling with is not relevant, however, you were not completely honest about your trip and the destination. And you knew that before coming to the interview. There's a statement n the DS-160 that say that you swear under penalty of perjury that the information in the form is true. You keep forgetting about that.
