The same as before - Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). Only immigration judge can take this status away unless you sign I-407 voluntarily. Technically yes, you can still travel as long as you have expired GC and new valid extension letter. Airlines unlikely going to treat you any different than travelling on original extension letter. CBP may put you in secondary upon return and ask several questions before letting you back in.

You will receive extension letter valid for 24 months (I believe). You'll get it in mail 4-6 weeks after filing I-90 online. Expired GC and valid extension letter are good for reentering the US. Why did you wait until last minute? I believe GC can be renewed 6 months before expiration.

You probably can. Ultimately, your spouse is the one responsible for all the answers on this form.

Why would R-2 (non-immigrant visa) child be sent something related to US citizenship? Please elaborate.

I-751 is typically filled and filed by the immigrant (lawful permanent resident). The immigrant is the petitioner and the beneficiary for I-751. The US citizen spouse (if LPR filing jointly) signs and dates part 8 questions. There's nothing else required from US citizen spouse in this form.

It's not about visa expiration but status expiration. E.g. she may have 10 year tourist visa valid until 2028. But if she entered the US in December 2023, the max she could stay is 6 months from entry. If she falls out of status she can be deportable and certainly can be detained by ICE. If you were to file adjustment of status packet, her overstay would be forgiven if I-485 gets approved.

This doesn't look too promising. CBP will likely issue NTA. I don't see many ties to the US in your case. You are not up to date on US taxes, you didn't have residence or job in the US for years and didn't even set the foot on US soil for 8 years.

I-751 doesn't get just closed out, it gets adjudicated. Decision is made, most of the times approval. Closed out is typically for I-485 when somebody has multiple ways to become a resident. Or if you have pending I-131, I-765 and receive GC.

Same was for me. USCIS tracker is behind

I'm pretty sure it has to be done during his interview, but I may be wrong.

Why fiancé visa? It is more expensive and complicated than spousal visa. It's not any faster nowadays either.

At least they didn't make up info!

I'm surprised to see people filing thin cases. At N-400 stage I'd assume people learned by heart that burden of proof is on the petitioner and not USCIS. There must have been several interactions with USCIS at this point if somebody is naturalizing...

You need to bring everything assuming it will be combo I-751 and N-400 interview.

I don't think I fully agree with the lawyer, I-751 can be decided before the N-400 interview. And RFE can be sent on I-751 before the interview. It's low chance but it's possible. Either way you're just waiting. Good luck!

I was under impression the primary sponsor also need to provide proof of domicile for immigrant visa to be approved?

What's the point of providing information without evidence? To receive RFE? How useful is information without backing evidence?

As long as you're not marrying and adjusting status, you're good

But why? If you filed with I-485 before April 1st, it was free. That may be a reason why packet got rejected. Now you'll have to pay for it.

Hi, please think twice before using Boundless. Some of my friends used it and got their immigration benefit without and issue. However, AFAIK they're not certified immigration attorneys. They're a big factory for filling the forms. You may be better off filling forms yourself to avoid mistakes. You may want to look into VJ partners or immigration lawyer on official AILA website. However, you do not need a lawyer for sure, many VJ users DIY'd the process. You need to establish US domicile, but that won't be too important until the next part of process, which is getting immigration visa after I-130 approval. You can continue living together for most of the time I-130 is pending. But make sure to go to the States, get the lease, Driver License, register to vote, find job closer to I-130 decision. Also, regardless of joint sponsor, you will always remain the main sponsor and will have to provide copies of tax return transcripts. Have you filed US taxes all this time living overseas?

Even if you get to a person, the chances are you're gonna get a random made up answer to get you off the phone sooner. To get to person, you can say Infopass. But again, don't believe everything they say to you, it's wrong a lot of the times. The only thing you can somewhat believe is the written communication by official mail.

I see, I asked because sometimes people move, their case gets updated (RFE, NOID), but they never know because online portal doesn't always update. Looks like you're good, since you received extension letter in 2023. You can try involving congressman OR you can file WoM to get your case moving.

ROC is probably the hold up. How come you filed I-751 9 months after receiving GC? You mean you filed I-751 in December 2021? Did you move between filing I-751 and now?

"Actively reviewing" in most cases means "nothing is happening". Do you have I-751 pending? For how long?

Did you pay for I-765?
