What address did you list on the forms? Do you receive any other mail at this address with no problems?

No refunds with USCIS.

Google Maps, email confirmations, FOIA request

@JD2 I'm taking my words back. I checked the forms (since I have the full copy). There are two G-28 forms. One for me and one for US citizen spouse. It amazes me how I didn't remember this, because I checked these forms multiple times throughout the process.

Yes, you are right about spouse signature. But lawyer represents the immigrant. I went through I-751 with a lawyer and joint filing. Speaking from experience. The rationale is: the Green Card holder can remove the conditions without the spouse if divorce occurs or spouse dies etc.

No, there's only one G-28. The petitioner and beneficiary for I-751 is both the green card holder! Lawyer represents the person removing conditions. Lawyer would typically prepare the forms, you just have to read them and verify everything is accurate.

Looks like the priority date for F2A category is 22JUN20 Meaning you CANNOT adjust in the US for another few years, until they start processing cases file in December 2022. Also, what about I-130 for the child? Is it on file already?

You have an approved I-130 in order for I-485 to be approved and Green Card issued. What was the reason for denial? Is this what you mean by "unapproved" I-130? Or do you mean I-130 is still pending? If pending, I-485, I-765, I-131 and other forms can be filed with a copy of that pending I-130 receipt. This will link the two cases together. How long ago did you enter the US? Also, are you sure you're eligible to adjust status? Your priority date may not be current! Make sure to check visa bulletin for your category before attempting to adjust.

Before changing names, did you research how easy it is to change her name in the country of origin and get a new passport? There's nothing more annoying than mismatching names on different documents. The best opportunity to change name is either at the time of marriage or at N-400 stage. It can also be done when filing I-130 or if adjusting status, I-485 form. You can probably change name now, but it may involve filing forms, paying fees etc to get GC in correct name.

I think typically one is expected to use emergency passport to get to Honduras and then sort out the normal passport there. That's how most of countries percieve the use case for their emergency passports. I think many countries issue emergency passport for single use, e.g. it won't be valid for travel after entering Honduras. It's something to discuss with consular officials.

Regarding alimony - that's probably a question for family lawyer.

Some folks are way too productive! Honestly, I never understood this. Literally making kids who he'd need to support for many years without any thinking process. Or am I too responsible of a person...

I'm sure it hurts, and I'm sure it matters to you a lot. To immigration - not so much. Marriages fall apart sometimes, unfortunately. And cheating / infidelity is pretty common, sadly. Unless you have clear evidence she never loved you and only used you to get an immigration status - there's not much you can do. Even in this case, if you have evidence of her marrying for GC, the logical question would be: why did you stay married knowing it was the case? Did you involve in immigration fraud? This is a possible thread of thought in somebody's head at USCIS if you were to accuse her of this. Now, to affidavit of support. Yes, you signed those papers and you're still liable. From what I understand, if she has an income of $24,650 or more a year, you don't have to write any checks. I'd think you need to be in contact with her to write any check if required. How else would you be fulfilling the obligation? Unless she comes to you asking for it, I won't sweat too much. ~ Not a legal advice ~

Should be C9.

That's pretty sad. I would point out, it's up to his wife to apply for I-131 and I-765. It's not the US citizen who technically files, it's the immigrant. The only forms US citizen files are I-130 and I-864. Yes, I-765 is for the gap between filing forms and getting GC. As you say, for banks, getting a job and DL. After that, either GC can be used for all of that, or (and that's better ) - unrestricted social security card and DL.

It's definitely allowed, but if you put yourself in USCIS employee's shoes... Either they can slide the entire stack of letter size paper into scanner and it will quickly scan, or they have to do that and photos separately (because they're different size and likely require more time to scan). That's something my lawyer recommended and explained essentially. By the way, here's the tips when filing by mail: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail

You did the right thing annotating them, but printing regular photos and placing in a zip lock may be very inconvenient for the USCIS. For those who're only about to file - scan photos and print 2-3 per page, on normal paper and annotate them.

When including them, make sure to arrange them on a regular page (2-3 photos per page) and ensure to annotate them. E.g. who is on photo, date, place, event / occasion. Also, only photos with friends / family / other people are valuable. Do not include photos of just two of you. I submitted around 20-30 photos. More valuable evidence is around financial comingling and everyday life stuff such as insurance, bills, trips etc.

Gotcha, sorry if I wasn't much help. When I went through AOS, I had a medical insurance which covered all the shots I got during medical. Plus it was pre-covid

Good point. So all he needs is a valid travel document. Only Honduras can issue it. As I say, it may be a matter of physically going there, knocking on their door and asking for help. This thread highlights the importance of always renewing passport even if there's no planned travel. Usually, it's good to start renewing when 1 year of validity left, because many countries require 6 months validity to even enter them.

When you do your medical exam, civil surgeoun can determine all the vaccines missing and issue them on spot. Since you had vaccinations before, there's pretty much no case for the waiver. Essentially, if you don't get all the vaccinations required, unless you have a medical reason, you won't be admissable into the US. Not admissable = no GC. At the medical, they won't give you extra shots unless they're required or you voluntarily agree.

I'm very sorry about the situation you're going through. The first problem would be airline refusing to allow him on the plane. Air travel with expired passport is unlikely. What I suggest is going physically to the consulate of Honduras and getting an emergency passport / emergency travel document from them. Most of the countries provide one if there's urgent need. If he doesn't have I-131 this also means abandoning AOS. Of course, his mother's health is probably a higher priority at this point.

Jointly filed tax return transcripts, passports, GC, updated bonafide marriage evidence. Make sure to bring the spouse.
