    I have dual US & UK citizenship so does my brother (we got mine ours from birth). But, my brother's wife immigrated from Wales and she will be applying for US citizenship eventually and she will have both. If you have children in the future, you can only pass UK citizenship for one generation abroad. So any kids would have to return to the UK to pass it to any grandkids.

    My wife had a B1/B2 before we met. We did the CR-1 but she visited me during the process. I actually think it's better since you don't have to adjust, it's cheaper, maintain ability to travel and get work authorization right away. And you can still stay up to 6 months together in the US at a time.

    @Klolangel if you want to meet in a 3rd country, you can use the website passportindex.org. From that website, assuming he has a Pakistani passport, Qatar gives both US and Pakistan passport holders visa on arrival. Just one example. He won't get a B1/B2. Most likely best option is CR-1/IR-1. Be careful and good luck.

    It's just a joke. In many cultures in-laws are often stereotypically portrayed as antagonistic or burdensome to their kids' spouses. I fortunately not in that situation.

    Depending on how long of a history, individual statements may take up a lot of paper. What I'm doing for our I-751 is printing the transaction history. It is broken down by authorized user. You can select the time frame and then it will generate a report in PDF or Excel format.

    It was a joke. Captain Obvious is a character in TV commercials. They're pretty funny. @SalishSea I'm sorry if you took offense. I've found the answer to my question. Thank you everyone.

    I was wondering about the 6 month validity. And, appleblossom answered that. It's not obvious that India is exempt from that rule.

    My retired mother-in-law (Indian citizen) wants to visit for 4-6 months. But, her passport expires in approx. 9 months. If she visits on her B1/B2, how long can she stay? Can she stay the full 6 months or only 3 months? Don't know if it matters but her daughter (my wife) is a conditional green card holder living in the US who is due to file for removal of conditions in a couple months.

    We went to our flight as scheduled and successfully did Option #2. It is doable. I carried a print out of the email from the Consulate and the Carrier Guide that had the Regional Carrier Liaison Group phone number in it. Also, I highly recommend LPRs get Global Entry and upload/scan your documents into your airline accounts using the mobile app so that you can do mobile check-in. I believe both of those things were helpful because we had mobile boarding passes that said "travel ready" and "TSA Pre" before arriving at the airport. Also, I was able to get an appointment for Tuesday at the Consulate in Merida. Technically, that was the next business day. They said if approved, it would take 2-3 days to get the passport with the boarding foil back. Thankfully, we don't need to do that now.

    What top_secret said was really helpful. If anyone has experience with Option 1, that'd be wonderful too ... Because I also heard from a friend of a friend who works at CBP that they have ways to verify someone without their actual green card (and even a USC without a passport), which he thinks is why they recommend land borders since it bypasses Airlines. Since Airlines have financial liability, they don't like boarding someone without documents. I think the Airline will be tougher than CBP but we are going to try to depart as scheduled.

    I asked does anyone have experience with option 1 or 2: Apply for admission directly with Customs and Border Protection at a land port of entry. More information is available about land ports of entry at http://www.cbp.gov/contact/ports Ask your airline to call the Regional Carrier Liaison Group in Miami and seek permission to board without an entry document. The airline retains ultimate authority to board or deny boarding. This is a service provided by the airline to the passenger. The U.S. Embassy is not involved in the process.

    I would UPS or FedEx it but the fastest it could arrive is Wednesday and we have urgent business back home. I contacted the Embassy. They told me the following. Anyone have experience with option 1 or 2? If you are an LPR who has been outside of the United States for fewer than 365 days, below are three options for returning to the United States: Apply for admission directly with Customs and Border Protection at a land port of entry. More information is available about land ports of entry at http://www.cbp.gov/contact/ports Ask your airline to call the Regional Carrier Liaison Group in Miami and seek permission to board without an entry document.

More information is available at http://www.cbp.gov/travel/travel-industry-personnel/carrier-liaison-prog Apply for a boarding foil (one-time entry) with the U.S. Embassy.

    It wouldn't arrive until Wednesday at the earliest.

    Hello, my LPR spouse forgot her Green Card in the USA and we are in Cancun, Mexico for the weekend. What are our options? If we have to do the I-131A and get a boarding foil, can we do that at the Consular Agency in Cancun? How long does it take to get an appointment?
