Yes, you should file it when physically in the US. Filing it outside the US is an easy denial.

I would forget about N-400 for now. You have an issue getting your I-751 approved. Without I-751 approved, N-400 is worthless and won't be approved. Battery / extreme cruelty waiver sounds like a good idea until it's not. Many think it's an easier route to paint the other party as a bad guy. What you describe is unfortunate and sign of toxic, disfunctional relationship. I'm sorry you had to go through all of this. At the same time, it does not seem to be a strong enough case for USCIS. Did you seek shelter at any point? Did you have any witnesses of you being abused? Did you now get mental evaluation? Good luck

The only time I filed taxes incorrectly which caused me owing money was when I used a tax professional. After that, DIY approach never let me down. But I did research quite a bit to file everything correctly.

He files taxes incorrectly. Generally, this can cause IRS audit at some point. Ans this disqualifies him from being a joint sponsor. There's no reason to use this joint sponsor, you'll get a RFE asking for a qualifying sponsor.

AFAIK, only California Service Center (WAC)

Are you planning any more trips outside the US? Even aftee multiple warnings from CBP? I wouldn't.

4-8 weeks from now you'll receive notices by mail saying your cases were created.

I guess? Give it a few days to few weeks and you'll know for sure when it comes in the mail.

Hmm, to be honest there's nothing new here. Previous administration already told the public they were authorized by FAA. Literally whatever we were told in December is repeated. What is lacking is detail.

Did you say anything to CBP that may be incorrect or false? Yes, your immigration timeline may be questioned, it's always a possibility.

I'd send personal check when you refile.

The receipt / extension letter will list actual service center at the end of it.

I'm 90% sure they say whatever to get you off the chat ASAP. Then report to their managers they "helped" 50 people an hour etc.

I'd request copy from that medical facility. And if they don't cooperate, there must be a way of flagging them to USCIS / DOS. They should be following all instructions to continue working with US government.

Thanks for the report. Though, G-1145 works half of the time anyway... I suspect phone carriers and email providers often block USCIS correspondence as spam.

Give it 4-8 weeks. Good luck!

That's true, technically valid, but not sure if you want to get it rejected again. DOS / USCIS are known to make mistakes. If adjudicator sees "2 years" in instructions, they may be reluctant to look into terms and conditions extending validity of certificate. Plus you have to somehow prove she haven't traveled to China in the last two years to make it obvious. Sometimes taking a path of least resistance is the way forward.

Yes.

Not really, unless there was a misrepresentation.

Police certificates expire. When did she get it? I'd recommend getting a fresh one and getting it translated independently. This is the path to success in my opinion

You don't need translator just to certify translation done by somebody else. Get them translate it and certify their own translation to avoid issues.

US government needs to ensure immigrant won't become a public charge. Hence income requirement. US immigrant visas are given to reunite US citizens with their immidiate relative. If you're already united outside the US, there's no reason for DOS to give US visa. US citizen should also demonstrate domicile in the US, e.g. prove they live there. This is typically a bad idea. Most of the times, consulate won't let anybody else in to the building other than foreigner seeking visa. And when they do let US citizen spouse in, there's a risk of Stokes interview. E.g. separating you and your spouse, asking same questions and comparing the answers. If the answers don't match, you're marriage legitimacy is questioned. Questions may include but not limited to color of carpet in the bedroom, spouse's third cousin full name, how spouse gets to work and many other questions that could throw off even couple living together for years.

Same here, read visa bulletin again and it is F1. Thank you @appleblossom

Getting I-864 right is crucial. Looping @pushbrk as an expert in this area.
