    This is what I heard from my lawyer who handled I-485 and I-751. That they cannot necessarily do much to help interacting with CBP. CBP won't talk to them. I heard this from a different lawyer too.

    No Not by law Yes, but I wouldn't recommend initiating this. Try to enter the US as normal. Do not mention I-407 or NTA. Bring all paperwork showing ties to the US. If CBP proposes to sign I-407, you can decline and see IJ (NTA). There's a big chance you will be allowed in without too much hussle, maybe after secondary. Make sure to stay in the US and not to take long trips outside the US to maintain the residence.

    That's why saying treat it as new relationship. Don't rush into filing the case. See each other few times. Build evidence of marriage.

    USCIS site broken as always...

    If you're planning to naturalize, you can update name for free as part of your N-400.
  6. OldUser
    Sure. Do you have I-751 to file or pending?
  7. OldUser
    Same story then as for I-134.

    She has to amend her prior taxes too. As a sponsor, she'll may be required to show her prior year taxes. Single will hurt your case.

    So CR-1 doesn't apply to you. You'd be using IR-1 visa in this case. It's a bit unusual you remained married even though you pretty much left relationship and left the US. Did she file taxes as a married person all this time or incorrectly selecting "single"?

    @EatBulaga assumed since it's posted in K-1 Visa procedures forum. What is it for?
  11. OldUser
    It's a complicated case, but it's possible to get approved. Treat it as a new relationship. Don't rush into filing CR-1. See each other few times, make sure you really want to be with each other. After few visits and marrying you, she can file CR-1. P.S. when was the divorce with her finalized?

    Everything is not necessary but it makes case a lot weaker if ignored. Mail can be delayed, lost in transit when using foreign location. And you said, not everything can be sent overseas. I gave the best advice that reduces chances of issues and leads to approval. I wouldn't give advice that has 50/50 chance of working. Good luck!

    Hopefully, USCIS will actually reschedule it and don't forget about it completely. It happens. You are free to travel if you wish, we're just giving you heads up on what might happen. USCIS is pretty good at quietly messing up cases leading to denials and months of stress.

    I wouldn't trust USCIS phone support. Their job is to tell you whatever you want to hear and get you off phone ASAP. Many people get in trouble listening to their advice. They're not held accountable for anything they tell over the phone.

    That's why it was urgent to go ASAP. You'd have more time to fix it. I'd try going to a different location, maybe they're better. I don't know if you ever dealt with SSA, for example. Location A may find reasons not to give you services, so you have to go to location B and eventually get it resolved. Good luck!

    Why do you need these documents? Usually for most petitions, birth certificates, passports, marriage and divorce certificates etc are needed as evidence. Have the same question as above... What case are you filing?
  17. OldUser
    No it's not OK. This looks suspicious and rightfully so. Most likely you'll receive a denial based on this scenario.

    If her own income is way above required minimum, say 50k+, her income alone is sufficient.
  19. OldUser
    Do you still have I-751 extension? Is it valid for 48 months? Is it expiring soon? Yes, you can get I-551 stamp in passport if this extension runs out before you naturalize.

    Household size for brother (joint sponsor) is currently 3 due to him listing parents as dependants on his taxes. For each I-864 his household size will be 3+1, where 3 is current size + 1 immigrant. This is my understanding, others can correct me.
  21. OldUser
    But if you count time to GC K-1 may be still behind CR-1
  22. OldUser
    15 months was the average in 2024. So you should be getting news hopefully within the next month or so. Of course, the new administration is coming, so things may slow down.
  23. OldUser
    Verbal approval is not an official approval. Have to wait.
  24. OldUser
    You really are in normal processing time. Especially for 3 year rule case. Especially if you have pending I-751. 12-15 months is a normal timeline for N-400. Yes, some people got lucky and got naturalized faster in 2024 due to elections. This is all behind, so I wouldn't worry until you hit at least 12 months mark on N-400 case
  25. OldUser
    Agree on this one. I'd let dust settle. I disagree with this. Staying in broken relationship for immigration benefit is pretty much fraud. If marriage is ending, divorce is a better and cleaner option.
