  1. In reference to this post, and when in reference to the embassy/consulate, Administrative Processing. In reference to form I-131, to be able to travel outside the US when there is a I-485 in progress at USCIS, Advance Parole.
  2. For CBP, there is no hard and fast rule. If you want to naturalize, the extended travel is factored for qualification per the rules for 5 yr and 3yr naturalization.
  3. Were you a USC at that time (2020)? That line of questioning is highly unusual. What made CBP suspect or even ask about your relationship status? Did they inspect your phone? Did you have any petitions submitted (Fiance)?
  4. Your husband has no right to work when he is in the US as a Canadian visitor. Therefore, no basis for requesting work authorization - he did not enter on a work-permissible visa. The TN visa does allow him to enter and work in the US. CR1/IR1 visa, once he gets it, makes him a LPR when he enters with it, making the EAD redundant.
  5. Travel more than 6 months: CBP may question you about it and why you stayed abroad for so long. Travel more than 1 year: CBP will almost definitely ask you why you stayed away so long. Multiple 6+ months or 1+ year trips abroad: CBP may question your residency status in the US and suspect you are actually living abroad.
  6. Then no, you cannot continue with the old petition. Your father has to submit a new petition for you. Unmarried son over 21 is category F1, 8+ years for a visa number to be available.
  7. I18 years ago did he submitted one I-130 with your mom as the primary and you as the derivative? Or did he submit an I-130 for your mom and another I-130 just for you?
  8. Immigration visas has vaccination requirements. Tourist visas do not.
  9. Not necessarily. From what the OP wrote, the doctor will release the records, but he/she will not write a letter to USCIS stating that the OP and his wife is required to take care of him. Who provides the care is not the doctor's power to dictate - the doctor just states the patient's conditions.
  10. Typically you just need the divorce decree of previous marriages. There is a section that asks if you ever filed a petition for someone before, but I am not sure if it asks if you were petitioned by someone else.
  11. 1. Yes 2. Updated one reflecting 2020, 2021 and 2022 taxes and current salary.
  12. Your I-551 stamp. It should be valid to Sept 2023. The 48 month extension would have extended your GC to June/July/Aug 2023, if you still had it. EDIT: Did you apply for your citizenship? If not, then did you submit any case inquiry's for your I-751?
  13. Fraud and a good way to get sent to immigration court and/or barred from entering the US. Not a great way to start a marriage.
  14. Open Notepad and copy/paste entries to it. Later, when you re-open the PDF, copy and paste entries back from the TXT file. A bit of a hassle but works in a pinch.
  15. Form I-131. Needs to be filed while in the US and remain in the US until the biometrics before travelling. Ideally you would want it approved and in hand before travelling.
  16. ?? The birth certificate that your parents used, does it state that you were born in City A, Country AA, the place you were actually born? Or does it state you were born in City B, Country BB, a place nowhere near where you were actually born? If the latter, then I would seek a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney as soon as you can.
  17. Based on your timeline, I assume your husband arrived in the US with the CR1 visa before May, 2018? If so, he can file under the 5 year rule and will not need your vital documents.
  18. It depends on her income. She only needs to submit the previous year's tax return. Years 2 and 3 are optional. She does need to have filed 3 years of taxes or explain why she did not. In her case, 2020 and 2021 taxes were not filed because she immigrated in 2022. Joint sponsors do not need to leave in the same household.
  19. I printed and submitted everything in B&W except for the photos. I went to Staples and printed those in color. It was about 4 pages, 2-4 photos per page.
