Yes . Don’t give up..

Not an option, filed approximately 6 months ago, per post. He does have a good chance

1. Use points 1-4 from your ordinal list…they focus on the imminent loss of job/income and by extension ability to pay for housing in Japan. 2. Have your friend write up a job offer ..start date to be where your current contract and lease ends..but even if you cannot secure a job/any job offer.,show your family will help by HOUSING you and your family upon return. 3. Argue your wife’s medical condition requires you to be with her as emotional support and you need your wife to care for the children so you may work You have prepared well enough to give it a shot..***Simply present your case as urgent because you will LOSE your job, lose your housing and are without support in Japan for you and USC kids. You need your wife so she can care for the children and you can work in US…stress you will be jobless and homeless ***** Sorry don’t do a cost comparison analysis…

Who knew …divorce battlegrounds included strong arm alimony or I-864 support .Las far back as 2009.This poster states she “ pinned” down her husband and won…

Hubs was LPR when we got married. I was in the US on L1b, 5 years was up and we'd recaptured as much time as we could (4mo, I think?). He applied for citizenship prior to our filing, but took 19mo. Had he been a citizen, things would have been different. Understood. You had a lot at stake. Thank you for replying. Vent away..you did jammed by delays

Their court cases are admin closed . They can start by immediately filing I-130 s for each parent, make sure to show proceedings status .This is filed as regular petition w USCIS. When I-130 gets approved, then file a ( combined) Motion to Recalendar/ Motion to Terminate . @Misscloud actually drafted one , just add the re calendar heading 😀 in prep for her case! After grant of termination, file I-485 w USCIS. Although , I wouldn’t be adverse to filing I-130 / I-485 now w USCIS..knowing the I-485 will be put on hold for lack of jurisdiction ( wait until court terminated).. as a safety measure for upcoming elections and possible administration change. Tell them to take action soon

Print out the N-648 and take it to her doctor…they will do it for you. You can help by reading the instructions and helping them make sure all fields are complete.

Use Search button ( top right) and see if you can find stories to help you come to a decision. … I

You are in a tough spot…and it will only get worst. Even if after her outbursts she apologized and declared undying love, your future would not look better. At some point you need to decide if YOU want to stay married. Forget walking on eggshells…you are dealing with I E D s. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17786-intermittent-explosive-disorder

Brilliant insight. @Mike E , you are more right than righteous…but am joining yout choir anyway… plastic worth safeguarding.

Excellent strategy. File I-130 for both now and rest assured child will become a USC the moment he lands in the US anyway.

Hmm…all sorts of reasons. https://knowmore.fsu.edu/helping-healing/why-victims-stay Why Victims Stay

Hello @mariaozawa. Hope you don’t mind if I respond on your public post. This way you are more likely to get others to help….especially those waiting for interview date at same consulate…guessing Manila/ Philippines. You indicated the I-130 is now approved, so you should expect ( in a couple of weeks) an email w case number and instructions from NVC . Keep posting

Sometimes people need more or different kind of help …not much gets through I-told-you-so approach. I am knee deep in the Letecia Stauch trial and my instinct is to tell OP….list your Red Flags , trust your instincts and if you have that unsettling feeling that you don’t really know/trust your wife ….RUN!,,,

Create a record by assembling the photos of past damage and call a “family intervention “ meeting with someone you trust .( be it therapist, priest, relative or friend) and Talk Openly about the violent outbursts. Put your wife on notice that you will call 911 if it happens again…,and if she hurls a plate at your head, they will arrest her for domestic violence. They will not make a police report for past incidents.. without an arrest there will not be any impact on AOS…as USCIS won’t know.

I take the position that when you hire an attorney, you follow their advice OR effectively move them to take actions you ask for. While you can upload bonafides on your own…your attorney should be told . Medical can only be mailed and best done once RFE instructions in hand..to insure it reaches the file.

I agree with keeping plastic card until a successful I-751 is lodged…because if /when it’s accepted it means OPs record will be updated to Conditional Resident and he will continue fully functioning with the ADIT stamp. Continuing to use the 10 year plastic beyond that invites unnecessary headaches… https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/systematic-alien-verification-entitlements-save-program-fact-sheet if individuals believe the information provided by SAVE is still inaccurate, USCIS suggests that they make an appointment with the local USCIS office,

The erroneous card ( in your hand) is what is currently reflected in The System ( SAVE for example..) so I don’t think you will have problems. Hopefully I-751 is accepted from get go. ADIT stamp and plastic card surrender is in your future even w successful I -751 Receipts and Extension Letters…as they are related to date on plastic card. @Mike E, will hopefully return w input..Las I do not know him to back down from taking a position w opposing views 😇

You said “ if allowed and accepted”, I said “ bounce back”…both of us meant possible rejection of I-751 ( in error of course)

Regular doctor can fill it out as long as diagnosis is a qualifying DSM cognitive impairment condition . Your letter will have zero impact.

Your I-751 window opens July 2023. Unless the I-90 issues you at least a paper decision by then and your I-751 bounces back, then InfoPass to surrender card and ask them to at least notate record correction urgently needed

Your 2 choices: 1. Continue w life and use the plastic card w “as is data” expiration for all needs. Do not explain error to other agencies. Wait for I-90 to resolve 2. Get InfoPass, go get a stamp in passport , show the correctly filed I-90, surrender the plastic card on the spot and use the ADIT stamp as proof of LPR heneceforth.

Did you make a DIY decision to leave ? I cannot imagine a skilled immigration attorney telling you consular process was the only option…

He is either out of touch or running out of ways to convince you to stop bugging him….and DIY forums have demystified the process. They ask for bonafides to pre screen for interview waivers. There is nothing wrong with his strategy of waiting for RFE….so you either wait or tell him you choose to submit now. By out of touch, I mean resistant to change and he likely refuses to hybrid file cases : I-130 and bonafides online and I-485 via paper filing. As of March last year, USCIS has made it clear they are screening all new filings for interviews waivers and everyday on various forums you can read about cases that are adjudicated at super speed.

Ahh…I see. Because you immediately entertained N-400 thoughts, I wanted to make sure know parallel realities unfold every day. …country of origin plays a big role on who gets grilled. Glad you checked back in and look forward to your engagement on VJ
