All, My wife forgot to take her I797 Notice that extended her expired conditional green card. She has a copy of it on her phone. Can she travel back to the US or will the airline deny her boarding? Her flight is on Play airlines tomorrow, July 12. Flying from Reykjavik to Boston. I have a feeling I will need to fly out there with the NOA, but I hope there is another solution.

Australia is not a safe country? When did this happen?

Check your NOA1 for the receipt number. If it starts CSC then it's being processed at the California service center. You can send it there, with a cover letter that states you receipt number. If it starts with VSC, then it is at Vermonth. What evidence? For the I-129F petition, you just need the proof of having met within 2 years, your proof of citizenship, and a signed letter stating you intend to marry each other.

Marry now and file I-130 for consular spouse visa processing. You can visit him, or he can visit you while the I-130 is processing.

Be careful. There is a distinction of visiting a relative who is in critical medical condition versus caring for (working as a caregiver) the person who is in critical medical condition.

Not needed. To clarify, if your current income is good (not bare minimum qualifying), then 2020 tax return amount doesn't really matter.

I believe the keyword there is "travel with". Back in my college years I met several Canadians who took a gap year to travel extensively. One set got a continuous ticket on Air Canada - they got unlimited stops for 1 year, but had to travel in the same direction - East. Stopped in Europe, Middle East, India, SE Asia, Australia, etc and finally in San Francisco before returning to Toronto. 8 or 9 months. Immigration tends to complicate matters. If the USC who is seeking Residency status in Canada is living with a Canadian spouse that Immigrated to the US, I do not think the linked policy would work. I do know that Canadians loose their CA benefits like healthcare when they immigrate to the US, and I assume this is one of those perks that is also lost. Best to consult an immigration attorney. A Canadian immigration attorney, in this case.

There is only 1 residency at a time. You can be a dual citizen, but your residency is typically where you spend 183+ days a year. Where your spouse spends 183+ days a year is his/her residency. You file taxes for each country as required, using the SSN for US and the Canada tax number for Canada. The two tax numbers are not "linked". Also, who is the US immigrant? Whoever that is needs to reside in the US, otherwise their LPR status can be revoked.

No, they do not. They require your BC, passport, marriage certificate, and other civil documents. They do not require these of the petitioner. It sounds like your wife submitted her documents instead of yours, or in addition to yours, and that's what caused the mixup, especially with the medical done in her (petitioner's) name. Ask your wife to contact the NVC.

Only a passport, naturalization certificate, OR US birth certificate is required of the petitioner. I am not sure how or why the embassy checked "everything". Did they ask you to submit her passport and naturalization certificate?

This is confusing. Did your wife fill out the DS-260? Did she switch your name with hers? Why would the embassy check your wife's passport? Is that what she submitted as proof of cirizenship on the I-130? Did you or her leave out any aliases (married name, single name, etc) From your post it seems like there are a lot of inconsistencies that the embassy felt needed to be cleared up by the NVC. Did your wife receive any RFE's?

Have your fiance open the window in privacy/incognito mode. Somethings cookies or cached files on the web browser will cause the errors.

You cannot enter the US by yourself Your husband has to travel with you or travel ahead of you.

I do not believe it is possible for you to immigrate as her spouse. From my understanding, you would have to have been married and listed as her spouse when her employer filled out and submitted the I-140. I will defer to others who are more experienced in E visas.

It is time for your petitioner to contact his/her senator or congressman. 3 years to wait for an interview is too long.

That is a pretty old article. 2019. Also, the headline is very misleading. The "skyrocketing denials" were actually refusals if you read the 8th paragraph. The vast majority were delayed while they lined up a more qualified joint sponsor, versus being outright denied.

I have not seen or read about outright denials for sponsors not being qualified. All were given a chance to submit joint sponsors.

Yes, those are the correct category codes for immediate relative and family preference visas.

What is your PD?

Assuming she has been an LPR for 5 or more years, file the N400 online under the 5 year rule. Much simpler than filing under the 3 year rule. She should study for the exam - there are practice questions available online.

One 6 month visit every few years should not be an issue. Two or more 6 month visits with only a few weeks or couple months in-between will be an issue.

1) Did USCIS approve the I-129F? If yes, 2) What you put down on the DS-160 for the K1 interview. Did you state you were married or did you state you were single? It all depends on what you submitted on the DS-160. If you were honest then the CO rightly denied your K1 visa because you were married. If you stated you were single, and also if you submitted a letter stating you were single and intended to marry after getting the K1 visa, then you face misrepresentation. If just USCIS denied the I-129F, then you may be ok, as long as you did not submit a signed letter stating that you were single and will marry when you get the K1.

i would think the person with the best information is the doctor.

You said "work visa to the US" - does this mean she is currently not in the US? If yes, she cannot plan to file I-485. Is this the same person that's from Ipanema?

All you need is 1 local leader or checkpoint commander who thinks having an American hostage is an excellent bargaining tool for things to get bad very fast.
