    My I-751 took 20.5 months and it was super fast for 2021 filers.

    Only problem is if you get stuck overseas while your GC expires. If you enter on a day your GC is still valid (May or begining of June) - you're good! Enjoy the trip

    Why are you confused? You are a permanent resident. You can can leave and reenter the US. When you apply for citizenship, your entire immigration history will be reviewed including divorce.

    That's quick! Good luck !

    Too early. It probably takes a week or few until somebody actually opens the packet

    That's amazing news as it will make life easier for people filing under 3 year rule!
  7. OldUser
    I think so

    There's only one way to find out for sure - to go and try. I'd bring receipt for I-751. No consequences, it's safe. If you don't get it, you can always try again and/or file I-90 and try with it.

    Even though I-129F vs I-130 is not apple to apple comparison, one would think immediate relative of US citizen would be the fastest of the bunch and the rest of the cases "weight it down" to be 14 months overall for category.

    Wedding is a life changing event and appears to be the focal point of the trip. If OP was contemplating marrying, that's another story. Omission can be perceived as misrep in the future. As you can tell, I never advised OP to bring it up voluntarily. But to me getting denied entry is a less of the problem then having to go through waiver in the future.

    I think you'd just keep getting stamps until I-751 is approved. Extension letter is no longer relevant for travel as it doesn't extend the stamps. The only reason I'd file I-90 is to get a stamp but if you get it without, then there's no point.

    If your wife: - Has been married to you, US citizen, for 3+ years - Has been a permanent resident for 3 years - Never had trips for over 180 days at a time since becoming LPR - Spend at least half of her time in the US Then she is eligible for N-400. Even with I-751 pending. Yes, conditions have to be removed, but the petitions can be pending in parallel. And can be adjudicated together if I-751 is not approved when N-400 interview is scheduled.

    If you had a joint petition, yes, for negative. If you had a divorce waiver petition, then no.
  14. OldUser
    Might be too late at that point. Giving some heads up by submitting request earlier gives immigration officer a chance to prepare / review I-751 before N-400.

    This is from my tax return transcript . Clearly state taxes are in taxes paid section. Both state and federal taxes done through Turbotax on my own. Sorry not showing more for privacy.
  16. OldUser
    I don't agree. There were cases of combo interview and same day oath. Those are rare though.

    If you're asked about purpose of your visit next time you come to the US and you don't disclose the fact you're getting married... Then yes, it may hurt in the future. Be transparent with CBP.
  18. OldUser
    You should tell CBP that. You'll likely going to be denied entry. But who knows, maybe after few hours in secondary check and a bit of interrogation you will be allowed in if your story is convincing. It's hard to predict, too many variables. Maybe all the CBP is going to ask is how long are you in the States for. My point is: give truthful and concise answers to any questions CBP may have. If they ask you something like "Have you been to the US before"? You shouldn't tell them the story how you're about to get married. Just tell them yes or no. Same about trip. If they ask about length of your trip, you shouldn't say anything else other than length of trip.
  19. OldUser
    Nothing unless asked. If CBP asks the purpose of your visit, based on what you're describing, you have a strong intent to marry and you should disclose it. The problem in this case though, there's 99.9% chance you won't be allowed to enter the US. If you lie about your intent, you can get hit with misrepresentation and will require waiver to get immigrant visa.
  20. OldUser
    Allowed. You may get into trouble with CBP entering the US with wedding dress in suitcase etc. That's one thing to think about.

    What about I-130 for the same time period?
  22. OldUser
    Agreed, this is a negligible difference, compared to overall benefit of going CR-1. Plus every case is unique. I'd go K-1 route if I-129F took 6 months and AOS another 6-8. But we know I-129F + K-1 will take much much longer nowadays.
  23. OldUser
    No, I-129F and I-130 take about the same time to get approved nowadays. Few years ago, yes, fiance cases were faster. Check processing times. Below there are screenshots taken just now for proof. 0.5 months difference can be ignored as each case is individual and can take few months shorter or longer, whether it's I-129F or I-130. And most importantly, once immigrant enters with immigrant visa, they can work, travel and feel much more free compared to being stuck in AOS process for another year or so.
  24. OldUser
    Agreed, but fingerprints checked at appointment at field office is not the same as biometrics appointment.
  25. OldUser
    I corrected my message. Tax return transcripts contain lines about state taxes, just checked my transcripts. I went through I-751 and got it approved without RFE. Tax return transcripts is all you need. They actually prove your filing was accepted and processed by IRS.
