N/A or leave blank for both. It doesn't apply since the beneficiary is divorced. There's no current marriage.
-
Unsure about this. I adjusted my status in the US. Questions 57a - 58f were left blank. I was asked to write my name in my native alphabet during interview though. Don't remember about address, I don't think that ever came up.

The date on I-94 is what you need to put. Visa is just a "ticket" to enter the US. Authorized stay can be beyond visa expiration.
-
Of course her current legal name. There's separate sections for both petitioner and beneficiary, asking for Other Names used. There you put all maiden names etc.
-
Yes, since petitioner is a US citizen in present then no need to provide details. It doesn't ask about the past at this point.

No, I don't believe USCIS prefers ALL CAPS. I filled my forms in ALL CAPS, no issues there. Green card and EAD had sentence case (e.g. just first letters in name capitalized), and not ALL CAPS.

I think the earliest is 2/26/2024 minus 90 days. So, November 21st 2023. But better to apply few days later. 11/28 is good

PhD Studies in Canada for 9 years (married to US Citizen)
OldUser replied to msherema's topic in Emigrating Outside the US
No. You gotta live in the US to preserve LPR status. You can have I-131 but this is temporary. Why do you need to maintain US residence if you live in Canada? Naturalize in Canada, file I-407 (you may be subject to US exit tax!)and you'll be able to visit US with your Canadian passport. -

Any copies of letters addressed to both of you - Photos of both of you with family, friends, colleagues. They should be titled, dated and annotated (location, event, who is on photo etc). Should include photos from different periods of time through your marriage - Screenshots of you listing your spouse as emergency contact at work and other places and other way round - Many more stuff you can think of... All the evidence should be complete, e.g submit full documents and not just first page. Evidence should cover period from start of marriage to date of filing. -
According to processing times, it takes about 20 months for 80% of cases: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Also, based on your filing date: "The earliest you can submit questions is July 29, 2024. Please do not contact us before this date." If you could afford Writ Of Mandamus ($402 for self filing or ~$5000 with a laywer) you could try that route.

Hi, has anybody got California mDL accepted anywhere? Recently, California launched this pilot for digital mobile Driver License: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/ca-dmv-wallet/ You can supposedly use it for TSA Precheck at SFO and LAX: United Airlines passengers with the DMV Wallet app and TSA PreCheck® can use the mDL for an easy identity check at SFO Terminal 3 and LAX Terminal 7

While I understand the benefit of including the busiest airport, I can also understand CBP's concern of including it at this stage. The app is new, may have security issues or bugs. In a larger volume of travellers, it's easier to miss one bad actor misusing this new technology and skipping proper check. Or if 300 people start having an issue and complain to CBP they cannot use the app... Once the app shows it's effective, it'll get rolled out everywhere.

Great news, thank you for sharing @top_secret I'm a GE member and really enjoy it for the most part. Not sure I'd use their app though. The benefit is not so small compared to granting access to my phone. The permissions are not too bad (no access to files, phone book etc). I just don't understand why it needs "full network access".

I-751 September 2022 Filers
OldUser replied to JenIE's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Always assume it's a combo. It may or may not be a combo interview, but you have to be prepared. Did you include I-751 receipt in your N-400 submission? -
