You shouldn't file AR-11 before you move. Only after you move and within 10 days. I received my card on the day of move (which was fun). Nothing worked: USPS Hold Mail, USPS Mail Forwarding, talking to mail man... So expect it at the old address.

Same. I think you can travel visa free to Japan so none of that applies.

Were you a New Zealand citizen back then? You probably traveled visa free to Japan?

I sent you a direct message. You can try VJ immigration lawyers or research lawyers on American Immigration Lawyers Association website.

It looks like when you were born, your father was a US citizen, since he was born in the US. However, derivitive citizenship is complex as there are many rules to be checked. You may or may not be a US citizen. I'd consult an immigration lawyer here in the US to determine that fact. B1 / B2 visa is much harder to get compared to ESTA. You have active ESTA, don't abuse it. Leave on time, don't come to the US for too long and not too often. You can figure out whether you're a US citizen meanwhile. If you're a citizen, you'll follow a process, likely outside of the US to get passport etc. If you're not a US citizen, you won't violate your ESTA by following the rules. If you want to get a B1 / B2 visa, which I don't recommend in your case, you can do it next time you're back in the UK. If you're not a US citizen already, there's the following ways to get a green card: - Employment (you need to find a sponsor) - Green card lottery (you missed your chance this year, but can try next year) - Asylum (I don't think you can claim it based on the fact you're from the UK) - Marriage to a US citizen (has to be legitimate one, not for immigration) - Sponsorship by your parents (will take a while give you're over 21)

It looks like @Caligirl1 had a pending I-751 and applied for N-400. A combo interview was performed. ROC and citizenship were approved without 10 year GC ever issued.

What's travel authorization? The I-797, aka "extension letter"? It takes 4-6 weeks.

USCIS can access a lot of information. Especially public information.

Annulments are not easy to pull off usually. Do they have strong evidence of fraud? Yes. If you only were married for a very short time that already makes in hard to approve. If marriage is annuled based on fraud, I'd think WAVA case is almost dead.

Yes, USCIS will be able to discover documents foe annulment. I can bet money your ex spouse will even help them. You'd probably need a family lawyer contesting that annulment.

International visitors to the US

No, it's not an overkill. There's no such thing as overkill when it comes to building a strong case. If it was, USCIS would have set a limit on the amount of evidence accepted. It's immigrant's burden to prove their eligibility for an immigration benefit.

@Timona international visitors are estimated to bring USA 279 billion dollars by 2027. https://www.commerce.gov/news/fact-sheets/2022/06/fact-sheet-2022-national-travel-and-tourism-strategy In 2022, it's estimated that foreign visitors brought $135.2 billions into US economy. These numbers are comparable to some countries' GDPs.

Ok, then it may be a hard case to approve. I would consult with a lawyer...

It's silly not to provide all the evidence available, when I-751 instructions say: "Submit copies of as many documents as you can to establish this fact, to demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date;" Also here's an interesting read:

I have a 10 year GC but only eligible for 3 year rule now. So @KristineGB question is relevant.

The time you spend here arguing could have been used for studying all 100 questions... Be thankful it's not a 2 hr written exam with essay which could be a possibility in the future if Donald gets elected.

Nobody would ever sign up for this and nobody would come on B1/B2 with super rare exceptions. Tourism and business would have huge losses. US would become North Korea. Why not just make all visitors wear GPS bracelets so ICE could locate them at any time? I hope you understand how ridiculos this is.

Most importantly USCIS tends to not like this method or the one using assets. It's not like OP's wife is only $5000 short on her income and OP can help. It's much safer to find a joint sponsor. I wouldn't want OP to get an RFE 9-12 months into the process. @fardaus do you have 3 years of US tax returns where you met poverty guidelines? I wouldn't even attempt this if it's not the case.

Did your ex submit any evidence of bonafide marriage for any of your petitions? If they now say it was fradulent marriage, this means they participated in fraud? Does the ex realize they've committed a crime if this is true?

Online check in on international flights is pretty useless, because you have to present passport to airline staff anyway. Even my US citizen spouse had to show the passport...

If your wife is the sponsor making $0, you need to find a joint sponsor depsite of your income. I don't believe it works this way.

Seems related to this thread: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/632906-traveling-on-extension-letter/page/75/#comments Based on what you describe, you were sent to secondary. Yes, it happens to some people when returning to the US. Given that experience I'd minimize international travel until you get 10 year GC or naturalize. Unless you're ok going to secondary again. Is your immigration history complex? E.g. were you out of status or claimed asylum or WAVA? Otherwise, maybe it was just bad luck.

What is I-495? What status are you currently in? If you F1 is still valid, I don't see the reason why you can't get a DL today. Update: I see from earlier posts you're out of status right now? You can get DL when you receive an EAD card or GC.

Yes, you can travel with it. Check out thread for experiences: Yes you can
