Up to you. The CR1 visa acts as a temporary I-551 for 1 year upon endorsement. Let's say you enter the 2 months from now - June. Your passport is your temporary greencard valid until June 2024. That passport expires Oct 2024. You are good When the beneficiary receives the plastic greencard in the mail, the temporary I-551 in the passport becomes redundant. Let's say it takes 2 months to get the GC - Aug 2023. That gives you 14 months to renew your passport.

It is based if the applicant lived in certain MENA countries.

This seems to be a recent issue. I have seen this come up within the last year, but not before that. I wonder if USCIS is getting more stringent with how the form is filled, or if there is something with the online forms that forces USCIS to assume AOS if both sections are filled or both sections are left blank. Regardless, for the OP, the only option seems to be to file the I-824.

K1 is different. For CR1 the interview is scheduled by the NVC For K1, the applicant has to self schedule. Good luck and let us know how long it takes.

There is nothing more to do, unfortunately. If the embassy informs you to wait for instructions, then you'll need to wait.

When was your case DQ'd?

File in Dec 2023 in AZ Oct 2023: In Austrailia Nov 2023: In Austrailia Dec 2023: In Hawaii 3. You have lived within the state or USCIS district where you claim residence for at least 3 months prior to filing: NO

Per the instruction, add a document there: a letter requesting to remove the joint sponsor. State he/she was added in error.

2) Click Add Joint Sponsor 3) Click Add a Document. Is the "Add a Document" button available?

I would not count on that. USCIS's background checks discover even sealed records. And diversion pleas seems to count as a "convictions" in federal background checks. https://ccresourcecenter.org/2019/07/22/diversion-pleas-qualify-as-convictions-under-federal-background-check-law/ As someone already mentioned, you should fully discuss this with your future spouse. Not only for immigration purposes, but also to empower them to make the decision for themselves. I would not want something like this hidden only to find out years later, and I am sure you would feel the same if the roles were reversed. As you stated, you do not need to have that conversation right away - pick the right time. But also do not spring this on them at the last second.

I have no comment to help your situation, unfortunately. This is a comment about the healthcare sharing ministry: I strongly suggest you to talk to members who needed coverage - hospital, emergency room, expensive treatment like cancer, etc. I would also try to find previous members and ask them why they dropped the coverage. Most people are fine with those organizations for routine things like annual visits and maybe a visit for a cold/flu. There have been many reported cases of non-payment/non-coverage for high cost procedures and expenses. Take care and I hope you can get the treatment you need soon.

Question might get better responses from the region forum.

You will need to print, sign, scan and upload the I-864. If you or your spouse is bothered by the discrepancy, handwrite the "o" on top of the A when you sign the form. I can get particular about certain things, so I understand if this is bothersome.

Again, not an issue. The I-864 is enforced when the beneficiary is in the US. As long as he is in his country, the I-864 has no relevance.

The I-864 and supporting documents are AOS documents belong to the Petitioner. The "all your originals" apply to the IV documents uploaded to NVC.

They do not need to find the address. Once the petitioning sponsor moves back to the US, they will need to file the I-865. And the petitioning sponsor has to move back to the US.

Are you asking if you can afford someone from Kenya for $1100/month? Those type of transactions are...just no. First, are you a USC? If no, then are you an LPR? If no, then that's that. Nothing really to do other than to keep chatting and go visit her. If no to USC and yes to LPR, then the only option, if the relationship is genuine, is to meet, spend lots of time together, and file for F2A spouse of LPR visa. If USC, then meet, spend lots of time together, and file for either K1 fiance or CR1 spouse visa. Spouse visa is superior. Before any of this, save up as much as you can. The above processes are expensive, both in fees and in expenses to visit and establish a relationship.

Back when we did our K1: Each country has their own guidelines per Packet 3. For some reason India came up when I searched for Malaysia packet 3: The only relevant information I discovered for Malaysia is their reciprocity information for Certificate of Good Conduct: Malaysia does not offer their PCC equivalent to foreigners who resided less than 12 months there. Therefore, my assumption is that they also do not require PCC's from other countries for stays less than 12 months. I would like to get confirmation from someone who has the Packet 3 link for Malaysia.

You can elect for First-Year Choice: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/tax-residency-status-first-year-choice

You can always request to get your passport back from the embassy.

Per NVC: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html Unless there is something specific about Malaysians needing PCC's from the Philippines if having lived there for 6 months but less than 12 months, then the PCC is not needed. Also, for the Philippines it is the NBI Clearance certificate, not the Certificate for Good Conduct, which is Malaysia specific.

Not needed.

Next week starts on April 10.
