    They cannot issue 10 year GC by law if you're approved 1 day before 2 year anniversary. Often 10 year GC is issued by mistake, but it's the immigrant who typically is held liable for mistake
  2. OldUser
    So that's your status
  3. OldUser
    This was directed to @Neonred not OP
  4. OldUser
    At time of Resident Since date on her GC, were you married for 2 years or less than that?
  5. OldUser
    Pending asylum?
  6. OldUser
    Agreed. If bank etc asks to describe descrepancy, can always show marriage certificate... To OP: SS card can only be changed 10 times through your life. It's up to you if you want to use extra time and also pay another visit to SSA.

    Then it's a clear pick who to use as a joint sponsor. Why would you pick a student?
  8. OldUser
    Yes, I'd include evidence from that period too as you want to be upfront as you said. Spouse may be asked when and how you met during the interview. You wouldn't want to bend the truth then.
  9. OldUser
    Do you have a different sponsor you can use?
  10. OldUser
    Unless there are dedicated fields, I'd put "DECEASED" for father and "UNKNOWN" for mother in Residence field.
  11. OldUser
    Yes, you'd list from 2017 or whenever she actually moved to the place even if it falls beyond 5 years they're asking for.
  12. OldUser
    You cannot bend the facts to fit erroneous information elsewhere. Put actual reality stuff. Truth and nothing but truth.
  13. OldUser
    Actual physical address she resided at. Hopefully it matches address on the lease.

    Is your lawyer a real lawyer?
  15. OldUser
    Normal, wait for few days. Sometimes the status is delayed. But I also understand based on my observations, if IO opens your case to look at it, and closes the window, you may get update saying action been taken without any actual action being taken by IO.

    Yes, by staying in home country for 2 years you'll prove satisfaction of 212e requirement.

    I cannot make this decision for you. See @appleblossom answer. Also, wouldn't it make more economical sense (besides benefits to marriage in general) to live in one place and pay rent for one place instead of two places? Can your spouse find a job in big city and move in with you? How long do you anticipate this separation to last? People typically don't get married to live in different cities.

    Only if she lives / planning to live there. If you get an interview, one of the first questions you may get asked is to show both of your DLs / IDs. If addresses on them don't match, expect scrutiny. But you wouldn't want to pretend living together either by listing on lease / updated IDs when not residing together. This could be viewed as misrepresentation. If there are suspicious about your living arrengements, USCIS can send few agents to knock on the door you listed as residence in application as ask where your spouse is.

    Living apart is one of the fraud indicators. Do you comingle finances?
  20. OldUser
    Smart move. MyProgress is one of the biggest sources of confusion and elevated expectations.

    And for OP's knowledge: US does not allow working in person or remotely without work authorization on visitor's visa. So if you end up getting the visa, do not abuse it.
  22. OldUser
    You need to put truthful information in the forms, including your employment.
  23. OldUser
    I wouldn't be too angry as a lot of the times congressman enquiry doesn't do anything. They ask about case, and get standard reply from USCIS saying the case is within processing times. Essentially, you get a VIP concierge experience asking on your behalf but not having powers over USCIS.
  24. OldUser
    Well, but her getting another J1 won't solve issues with 2 year rule and ultimately residence in the US.

    The estimates are just estimates. My I-751 was estimated 7 months but ended up 20.5 months due to estimates shifting. The elections are over, you can't have the same expected turnaround time. Plus you have a prior denial in your pocket which also doesn't speed things up.
