Also, to help you with your dealings with Boundless, have them look at Form I-130, Page 7: The form clearly states to fill out 46.a. to 46.d. if the beneficiary is currently in the United States.
-
Boundless should know better. I would ask for a different agent. EDIT: If you use a lawyer or an immigration prep service like Boundless, you should still familiarize yourself with the process. Go over all the forms and read all the instructions. There is also a guide here for spouse visas - please review it.
-
How long have you been a legal permanent resident (i.e., had your greencard)?
-
You have the choice to go to Pakistan, marry and live with them.
-
You only need to enter the I-94 information if you are CURRENTLY in the US. Please review that section of the I-130.

Naturalization proof of lawful admission?

List of travel dates, yes. But not proof of legal entry: multiple I-94s are not needed.

No. Married filing Jointly would help. Joint bank account would help. A joint bank account where your paycheck and your spouse's paycheck being deposited would be better evidence. -
1. You will overstay your visa while waiting. You are not authorized to stay by applying for AOS if the visa number is not available. Your AOS application will actually be denied because the visa number is not available. 2. If you somehow avoid police and remain illegal in the US for the 7+ years for the visa number to become available, your subsequent AOS application will be denied because of your visa overstay. Overstays are NOT forgiven for family preference immigration. If you leave the US to try for consular processing, you will have a 10 year or lifetime bar. You have no path of residing in the US through your parents until the visa number becomes available. Leave as soon as you can and return for a visit 4-6 months later. The recommended rule is twice the time outside the US for returning visits. But you can try earlier, with greater chances of denial of entry for shorter time spent outside the US between visits.

It was always a requirement for anyone adjusting status that they were lawfully entered into the US. This new ruling makes it clear that this enforcement is only for the initial entry to the US. That is, the N400 applicant only has to show proof of that initial lawful entry and do not need to provide proof of any subsequent lawful reentry after obtaining LPR status.
-
No, you cannot stay and adjust status. The wait time to get a visa number is over 7 years for an unmarried son/daughter over 21 (F1). It is over 12 years for married sons/daughters.

To have proof of citizenship. In cases where his passport gets lost or expires. -
My Wife and Stepson Application
SteveInBostonI130 replied to NoJ's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
No. Your wife files N-400. They will give her a certificate of citizenship after she is approved and takes the oath, with no additional charge. If your stepson was under 18 when your wife naturalized, then he is automatically a citizen. Your wife can apply for her passport and his passport (paying the passport fees) Your wife or your stepson can optionally file N600 to get a certificate for your stepson. -
K-1 visa Fiancée.

Your partner left - you cannot force someone else to marry you against their will. Your only legal choice is to leave the US. -
UPDATE: Yesterday, my wife received her passport. Our passport journey: 1. We had a trip planned Nov 15-17 to Quebec City, CA. We thought we might need to cancel, but took a chance on urgent travel processing. 2. Wife filled out the passport application PDF and printed it on 10/31. 3. Wife set up an appointment with the Boston passport office for Nov 5. 4. She took her application and hotel booking confirmation. 5. The passport office made my wife fill her parent's information. Wife thought this was an optional section on the online tool, but looking at the DS-11, it seems to be required. 6. The office made my wife change the emergency contact information. She had me down, but because we were travelling together, it had to be someone else. 7. She submitted the application, passport photos, copy of her MA DL, copy of her Naturalization Certificate, and the original Naturalization Certificate. 8. Apparently, even when presenting the original NC in person, they still keep it for passport processing. 9. She was told the passport and certificate would be mailed to her by Wednesday, Nov 13. She was offered the option of express mail (additional fee) for it to arrive by Friday, Nov 8. She declined. 10. The passport and certificate arrived by mail on Nov 7.

The 5 yr application is not based on being married to your petitioning husband. They may ask about your child, and you state that you and your husband have drifted apart, hence the divorce and your new relationship.
