    USCIS may never give your future spouse any sort of immigration visa if they're not happy about your naturalization / documentation.

    Agreed 100%.

    You need to meet after marriage takes place. Prior visits do not count for CR1 based on online marriage.

    Utah online marriage may not fix issues discussed in this thread: Additionally, the marriage needs to be consumated. E.g. you should either visit spouse in their home country or meet in third country before they can get immigrant visa.

    I would not attempt DIY. Please talk to an experienced lawyer. The question is, whether naturalization is void due to incorrect details on the certificate? Probably not but you never know.

    My I-751 was supposedly approved on Saturday. It may be that it was decided on Friday night and there was a delay... But I'm not the only one who had their case approved on Saturday. There were people reporting updates to status on national holidays too.

    Yes, they can get married and stay. Overstay will be forgiven since they're married to US citizen.

    It wouldn't matter for another 25 but you're trying to get an immigration benefit. Please keep us posted on resolution.

    Why not just wait for immigrant visa? It should be relatively short wait. Technically, she can come. Entry is CBP officer discretion.

    There's a difference between RFIE and RFE. RFIE (initial evidence) occurs at early stage if any. RFE (additional evidence) can happen any time in the process and right before decision. RFIE typically is issued for obvious missing evidence, like missing marriage certificate in marriage based GC case. RFE occurs after IO studies the case further and has additional questions. At least this is my understanding.

    Any waivers come into play during the adjustment of status. Because he cannot adjust for several years, he won't have any protection from deportation. And now you helped ICE locating him. I hope this explains it. Have a good day!

    Who's the daughter's mother and did she give green light for this?

    I'd recommend speaking to immigration lawyer. This is a difficult situation for your son. If you only filed I-130 in 2022 and the son is over 21, you're looking for years of processing. The son may get deported in the meanwhile. Overstay is not forgiven for adult children.
  15. OldUser
    You're saying your son is in the US out of status? By requesting F2B do you mean you filed I-130 around that time? If no visa is available and I-130 is pending he cannot stay in the US legally and subject for removal and bar on reentry for 10 years.

    I believe sponsor can be LPR too

    How would one prove they were free to marry? Same issue will arise with divorce / death certificate when trying to get spousal visa. Was OP ever married? At the time of naturalization were they married, widowed, divorced or single? Naturalization say may state incorrect information, but what was the real marital status?

    It's similar to getting congratulations after passing job interview. Until the contract is signed and you get card key to enter the office, it's all just words. Most likely you'll get visa issued soon. But occasionally there are stories of people reporting officer saying everything is great to only get denial later. The words are not legally binding. You can be optimistic, but I'd keep celebration for later.

    I recently on VJ a report when multilingual docs were rejected despite English used too in the document. To be on safe side, you can translate it.

    Celebrate only when visa is issued in the passport.

    Also the hands photo is very beautiful but somewhat irrelevant as it doesn't show face. Pictures clearly showing faces are preferred as far as I understand.

    I have a comment about captions: I used full names including last names "John Smith" instead just of "John" etc. I also did not use "I / we" and used full names talking about myself and my spouse in third person. Not sure if it matters. E.g. on photo with proposal where there were just two of us I wrote: "01/01/2015, Time Square, New York, NY. Proposal. Left to right: John Smith, Anna Brown". It was pretty much as if a private detective wrote those captions 😃 Factual, short, full names, date, location, occasion.

    Approximate timeline - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ 80% of cases are completed within 6.5 months So I guess December 2024?
  24. OldUser
    Very good point. Reporting would be pain in the back!

    It can be hard to convince USCIS this can be used for I-864. You can lose a lot of time and they could still issue RFE much later in the process. Then you're going to be rushing to find a joint sponsor and reply on time. It may be easier just to begin with one.
