    There is remote possibility of this becoming an issue in the future. What's the long term plan? Are you going to have this renter in your house when your fiance comes over to the US? You know USCIS, if they don't trust the marriage, can always knock on the door and check who lives in the house? They are somewhat old school and may be surprised by arrangement.

    Very good suggestion. I still don't know if I would go this route which can be pretty expensive and long. Would only consider it if I had no sponsor for GC and was trying to revive the old GC. But I guess OP knows all the options and can decide what path works for them. Thank you for the good discussion

    I don't know if anybody ever tried to hold them accountable.

    But was it delivered in time for the deadline?

    To me the removal is initiated when NTA is issued? I guess the comfort of living in this situation for indefinite amount of time with no ability to plan life with certainty due to potential negative outcome of the whole thing depends on a person. I'd pick a clean route of new I-130 any day.

    I-90 may take a long time due to confusion and denial at the end of the 12-18 months wait?
  7. OldUser
    I'd think if there's a backlog wouldn't OP stuck in removal? And why even risk going this stressful route if a clean path to GC is available?
  8. OldUser
    You're absolutely right, I took a shortcut explaining the consequences. OP is unlikely to win such case with 20 years of absense. I'd rather get a new GC to be safe.

    While this can work short term, it can be a hassle if at N-400 officer won't allow the person to naturalize because LPR status was abandoned and GC was renewed in error.

    K-1 is not quicker than CR-1. It's longer (if you count time until getting GC) and more expensive. Any hint of unofficial wedding, especially religious can void K-1. I would strongly suggest CR-1 route or do not play with religious wedding. Either way you're going to be separated for about 2 years, whichever route you choose. But in addition to 2 years overseas, with K-1 you'll have to add another 12-18 months to get GC. She'll get GC at least a year quicker with CR-1

    Impossible to tell. Some bring tax return transcripts to the interview and get approved on same day, others not. Why didn't you submit taxes? It's pretty easy to attach and there's no downsides of front loading application.

    Passport size photos are used for many other things in immigration besides passport.
  13. OldUser
    No, passport is a separate process to naturalization. Or your lawyer is helping you with getting a passport?

    Yes, it is really necessary. CBP told them that and put a note in the system, likely. Next time, without I-131, they may be pressured to give up their green cards and rightfully so. They're likely going to be forced to give up their status by 2028 if they don't establish their lives in the US soon and don't have I-131. They may be placed in removal proceedings if they refuse to sign I-407.

    Your parents faced a very nice officer. They could have been asked to voluntarily give up their LPR status by signing I-407 on the spot or if declined, notice to appear in immigration court. The only two options are: 1. File I-131 for both of them, go to biometrics, then leave the US with receipt. Reenter within a year, meanwhile finalizing everything back home. 2. Give up LPR status for now and sponsor when they're ready to move to the US. The process may take few years given circumstances and backlogs.
  16. OldUser
    Yes it may be a problem. You were close to minimum and fell below the minimum. I'd start looking for plan B, e.g. joint sponsor.

    RFE from IRS? That's unrelated to immigration. Are you sure you filed taxes correctly and disclosed all the income? Sometimes it's worth paying a good tax preparer to get taxes filed properly
  18. OldUser
    You will need to file I-90 and this will likely be slow (months). Some lucky people get replacement fast, but it's not common. You can show DL and unrestricted SS card as @Ontarkie suggested. You can also get ADIT stamp (I-551) in passport / on card once you file I-90.

    You need to update when you physically move into the new home!

    That would be my advice. I know you don't have crimes, but divorce and long absense together already may create a bit of complication when adjudicating the case. At least the continuous residence won't be an issue if you want a little longer. When I-751 was approved, were you still married, in process of being divorced or divorced? Did you live with your ex at the time when I-751 was approved? Did you file jointly or with divorce waiver?

    I think I noticed a trend for N-400 based on 3 year rule. People coming to the interview with thin folders get RFEs, while people who bring huge stacks of evidence don't get asked for anything. It's silly but I think bringing a lot of evidence weights on interviewer causing them to soften up.

    Is the US citizen petitioning you, a biological parent of your kids? That's the first thing to figure out. If they are biological children of US citizen, who lived in the US for over 5 years, then they may be US citizens already. Otherwise, US citizen may need to sponsor them with I-130 for each kid to get immigrant visa and GC.

    It does happen. Nothing to worry about. Sometimes office gets busy and has to reschedule interviews. Monitor the mail. If you receive physical mail to attend, you may still want to do it to be 100% sure you won't miss the interview.

    I hope you don't receive an RFE. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
