IIRC, you only need to pay 1 AOS fee. You will need to pay the IV fee for each - so 2x IV fees. Each will get their own case number. DS-260 by your wife under her case number, DS-260 for you step daughter under her case number. You will fill out 1 I-864 with your wife as the immigrating person, and another I-864 with your step-daughter as the immigrating person.

Typically up to 2 months for the NVC to send the package to the consulate. There's useful information in the K1 progress report forum, specifically the June 2023 K1 to NOA2 post: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/801536-june-2023-k1-to-noa2-to-nvc-to-embassy/

Did you submit another I-130 for your stepdaughter? If so, what is the status of that case?

Original extension letter was not needed. After over an hour clearing cbp, they are here. Drama over.

Final update: I am at Boston Logan Terminal E and I received a text from the better half that she boarded - the timestamp was 6 hrs ago. I think she sent it when she had no signal, and it just got through when her plane landed here. She is definitely here - she texted again. I'm at the waiting area just outside the baggage claim exit. Time to see if CBP will call me to show the original extension letter (I brought it just in case).

K1 is for fiance. That is, people who ARE NOT married. CR1 or IR1 (depending on length of marriage) is for married couples. There are guides here on VisaJourney: https://www.visajourney.com/ir1-spouse-visa-overview/

Next-to-last update before I head to Logan to pick her up. As she and our nephew were going to the gate our nephew was stopped for a random document check. He has a valid B2 visa but they held an impromptu interview. Wifie didn't notice at first and had to walk back to them. She interpreted for him and they were let go to board just as the gate was closing. They didn't question her or asked for her documents. Last text was from her on the shuttle bus to the plane.

Update: Wifie successfully checked in. She is in the terminal, waiting at the gate. I don't know if there will be a second document check prior to boarding. I know they do it for passengers going to US on connecting flights, but this is a direct flight.

Build a wooden boat. Normal size or model, plank on frame. I think both take about the same amount of time but the material costs would be different.

By "deserter" do you mean he has gone awol from UA military service and snuck out of the country? Or is he a refugee/in temporary protected status? In general, no, you cannot plan to travel to the US and adjust status. That is visa fraud, unless your BF has a fiance visa.

Fingers crossed. I sent her a high res color scan, and she printed it out in color as well. I just read the CBP carrier liaison program: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2021-Dec/Reminder- LPR Boarding 20210305.pdf It states that LPRs with expired 10 year greencards can be boarded, no other document needed. For 2 year conditional GC, it requires the I797 extension letter. IF USCIS did its job and processed wifie's I-751 within 6 months, we would not be in this situation. I am strongly considering the DIY WoM method posted a while back.

The I-797 is not on her online account. There is the receipt number for the ROC with the status that on XX date her biometrics were taken. There is no documents tab for the I-797. I can scan the I-797 and email it to her to have her print it out.

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.
