What is the residence since date on her conditional green card?

I am doing fine, thank you. Did you pay the $220 immigration fee after your wife received her visa? It is recommended to be paid before travelling to the US. It has no deadline -- if you did not pay it you can pay now. Your wife should have been given a handout by the embassy with information about it. USCIS and US Em will not return submitted documents. Original documents that your wife showed at the interview should have been handed back to her, except for the police clearance certificate(s).

I would ditch the gift receipts but the rest seem fine. Just include a cover letter explaining your relationship. Keep it short and to the point. I would state your background bullet points 1,3,5 and 6. The rest do not address the relationship.

Your first visit they'll ask your purpose and duration of stay. They may question why or how can you stay away from your home for 3 months, or they just might rubber stamp your passport. Second visit there's at least 50/50 chance they will question why you have stayed so long on your previous visit and returned so quickly. They may ask if you are working while in the US. Third visit there is a good chance you are taken to secondary and grilled about your intentions and if you will or have worked while in the US. They may offer you to voluntarily revoke your application for entry and send you back on the next flight. Or they may revoke your visa and remove you which will apply a ban. Fourth and subsequent attempts will have a greater chance of CBP revoking your visa and applying a ban. At max, 4 months visit and 8 months away would reduce the chance of CBP questioning your travel pattern. Also, and this may be a sign of my age, but travelling every three months, especially internationally and having to deal with customs, seems physically draining to me.

Correct. EIC cannot be claimed by someone with ITIN. But ITIN qualifies for the rest of MFJ benefits. For example, standard deduction of $25.8k vs $12.9k, and tax brackets that kick in at higher incomes bands than for MFS.

You can file MFJ and W7 at the same time, and take advantage of MFJ standard deductions and tax table. That is how my wife and I filed our 2019 taxes. Got over 7k in refunds.

To file MFS, you'd need to paper file with your spouse's SSN field hand-written to "NRA" (Non Resident Alien) You can file that way and amend your taxes within the next 3 years. Or you can fill out the W7 and paper file your 2022 1040 as MFJ. Send both to the IRS address for submitting the W7.

?? You do realize that by married filing jointly, with the W7 application, you get double the standard deduction and the tax tables are much more favorable? I would not be surprised if you are due a refund compared to filing MFS.

For getting the I-864 approved? Or are you asking if USCIS may sue the petitioner to reimburse the public benefits that the beneficiary acquired? EDIT: From your other topics, it looks like your wife needs to submit the I-864 for her parents. The decision depends on your household income and ability to maintain that income.

It could. You may need to prove the marriage was entered in good faith and not just to get a GC. They would be looking for evidence of a bona fide relationship until the circumstances that lead to divorce.

VAWA. The first word being Violence.

I would report him to the police and file a report. Have the courts issue a restraining order, or the equivalent in your country. You have no immigration claim through him, unless he submits a petition for you. But with the domestic violence, I would assume you would decline moving to his home in the US. Stay safe.

I-90 https://www.uscis.gov/i-90 Your parents can file within 6 months of the card expiration. They should be able to travel with the NOA1 from the I-90 filing, along with their expired GC. The NOA1 will extend the GC by 24 months.

Current income is calculate as Crazy Cat and Mike E stated. Don't overthink this. If his pay was marginal - close to the 125% minimum mark - then think about how to qualify. With what you posted, even his low commission amount in March qualifies. Just calculate it based on his most recent paystub.

Report them to CBP as soon as you can. CBP will flag the person for questioning. Best to provide them with any hard evidence you have regarding the person's criminal past.

Contact the embassy so they are aware of the person applying. Send them evidence or their criminal history to back up your claim. Send a letter to CBP, just in case something slips and the person gets a visa. CBP can question him on attempted entry to the US.

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.

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.

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)?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Immigration visas has vaccination requirements. Tourist visas do not.

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.
