    My spouse's definitely did not. And, we went to CBP and confirmed. We actually had a problem because she traveled abroad before her green card came and the airline didn't know what to do. The Embassy hotline said it's been a problem since CBP made the change. Eventually, the airline let her board. This was March 2023.

    What I'm saying is CBP told my spouse they no longer "stamp the passport near the visa to validate it." We went back to the airport to the CBP office and asked just to be sure it wasn't a mistake.

    I think they do not "stamp" anymore. It is all electronic now if I'm not mistaken. At least that's what CBP told my wife at IAD airport when she came on her CR-1.

    If she applies now, biometrics will have been done long before we depart. Plan is to file I-131 now, I-751 in Dec. 2024, and depart for London in Spring 2025. The processing time for I-131 is listed at 17.5 months so the reentry permit may not get approved before we depart but we pick it up at the London Embassy. If by freak chance it is not approved, we'll return before 6 months goes by. My main worry is having the I-131 on file when we apply for ROC. Would having a reentry permit pending affect ROC adjudication at all?

    Of course, but that's not an option. We have various personal reasons why we need to go during that time. But, thank you.

    I'm dual US & UK citizen. Wife is conditional Green Card holder. She can apply to remove conditions Dec. 2024. We live in US but want to go stay in London for about 1-1.5 years after filing her I-751. I'll be working remotely for my US company from London. Could we file I-131 for a reentry permit now since the processing time is so long? Would filing I-131 and/or being abroad while the I-751 is processed be a problem in terms of getting the 10 year green card approved?

    We had this issue too. Use your backup code. You should've saved it when creating the account. Enter it instead of the OTP. Once you gain access, set up additional OTP options (like Google Authenticator, which has the OTP generated on the phone itself so you never have to rely on them sending it)

    My wife too. It's like the Freshman Fifteen when you go to college.

    I believe anyone with a current priority date can adjust status. Immediate relatives priority date is immediately current.

    I think they mean don't make travel plans to go to the USA. They may not understand he's physically in the USA.

    Yes, we filed jointly this year (spouse's first year here). I even filed MFS last year when spouse was abroad waiting for interview. Only problem with including that is when you do MFS, the spouse name does not show up on the transcript so I'd have to include the entire 30+ page tax return.

    Thank you

    Do you think the incorrect address is an issue? My accountant swears many people put their work address or even their CPA's address on their returns.

    My spouse is removing conditions next year. The I-751 instructions say "complete joint Federal and State tax returns." 1. Do they mean the actual returns or the tax transcripts or both? 2. My accountant put the wrong address. He used a work address. Is there any way to correct this? My accountant says no. 3. For reasons other than the address, I may need to do an amendment (getting advice from another CPA). If I do, what should I include? The transcript won't be updated so I'm guessing transcript + tax return + amended return? Such a mess 😩
  15. JD2
    He was DQ'd. The amendment had some error so it was rejected but by that time his wife had interviewed and got her CR-1.
  16. JD2
    Yes MFS with no SSN or ITIN.

    I literally just e-filed in Oct. (for 2021; had an extension) but I used an accountant. Not all accountants even know it's possible. My original one swore it wasn't. I had to find one that could do it. There's nothing on the IRS end preventing it. It's a software issue.

    I e-filed MFS with an accountant. I believe he uses TaxAct, which I think you can also use without an accountant. https://oandgaccounting.com/need-itin-for-wife-even-though-married-filing-separately/

    You can apply for K-3 for both together. K-3 is for wife. K-4 is for child. I believe you submit just one I-129F form for both.
  20. JD2
    Assuming you are a US Citizen, try filing an I-129F for a K-3 visa. You probably won't get a K-3 visa but it may speed up the I-130. Although, I usually only see it work if submitted quickly after the I-130 but it's worth a shot.
