    4-6 weeks after submitting I-751 is usually the timeframe to receive I-797 (extension letter). Yes, you can re-enter US with valid GC visa even if it has a few days left on it. However, what if your flight gets cancelled? What if you get sick? What if the borders close (remeber COVID?) I strongly suggest leaving with extension letter. You should receive extension letter sometime in November or early December.

    Hi, I feel your pain. Hang in there! He should travel back to the US ASAP. It hasn't been a year of him being outside of the US.
  3. OldUser
    You don't need anything like that. No, it's not necessary.
  4. OldUser
    Tehnically they're accurate. You can travel outside of the US but not come back easily.

    They tell incorrect information all the time to get you off the chat / phone. Do not travel without getting a fresh stamp. If you don't trust advice here, consult with an immigration lawyer.

    Not sure, in my case it was N/A

    It shouldn't elevate your chances. But you can always try.

    It is hard in your case. If you were married to somebody in India and had children, that would be a strong tie. If you owned a property in India that would be another tie. If you had a well established business that would be a good tie. If your parents were disabled / elderly and you cared for them, that could be a tie (though how would you travel overseas without them)? The thing is, your chances of getting a tourist visa are small at this stage of life. What if you come to visit boyfriend but instead meet and marry a US citizen? I know it sounds wild, but that's what US officials assume.

    It's unlikely you're going to be granted visa. You're a student with no income of marrying age (I assume here). Not sure this is a strong tie.

    You're fine. Don't worry. Make sure your sponsors file I-865 too (by mail)

    Literal translation: "if you chase after two hares, you will not catch even one"
  12. OldUser
    Do you know the Russian proverb about trying to chase two hares at the same time? You can continue playing games with US residency, but don't be surprised if you lose it. Re-entry permit is what you need for short term. For long term, you'll have to pick. Relying on Germany changing laws is a weak plan.

    Are you a US citizen who can sponsor an immigrant?
  14. OldUser
    Yes, since you will be physically in the US this counts towards working in the US. If you're married to US citizen, such work will be forgiven if you're admissible.

    The cost is less than $20 at a CVS / Walgreens in California. I'd imagine it may be cheaper elsewhere.

    What does the passport say in "Nationality"? Does jt say "British Citizen"? If yes, you're not any different to Brits who never went outside of the UK.
  17. OldUser
    Yes, if you're a UK citizen. Remember, having passport is not a requirement for being a citizen. Many American citizens never had a US passport.

    No, you don't need anything else. Your - Valid foreign passport (good for 6+ months) - Expired GC - Valid extension letter Is all you need for 2 months trip overseas. I went on 4 international trips while I-751 was pending. Nothing special if you go prepared.

    I'm really sorry you went through this. Could / did your employer write an affidavit describing all of this? That could help your case.
  20. OldUser
    Not an issue at all. Passport is not required for I-751. Just get the passport renewed. Make scans of passport before renewing for your records and ask embassy to keep the old passport. Many countries cut corner of the old passport / punch holes and give it back.

    Assuming she knew the guy before meeting you, this really hurts your case, doesn't help. In USCIS's mind her real love was the guy from her school and you were just a source of income. Be very careful how you frame your relationship at the interview. You need your lawyer's help to practice and have a clear story.

    I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is Abuse Waiver case needs to meet even higher standard compared to good faith marriage case.

    This is normal. Nobody gets info about their cases over the phone with exception when Tier 1 officer makes things up to get an immigrant off the phone.

    I'm sorry she had to go through this though
