    So were the children included in their mother's I-751 or they have their own pending I-751 cases? There were boxes on I-751 to indicate whether they're applying with mother or separately.

    In a way, Mexico is a nice treat after receiving 10 year GC 😃

    Husband may be eligible under 3 year rule. How old are daughters?
  4. OldUser
    Awesome investigation! I wouldn't travel without visa while on GC and extension IMHO.

    Don't search for easy ways. The worst case you'll be asked for birth certificate in RFE or at the interview and will be pressed to show it very quickly. Do whatever you need to do to find / request new birth certificate from your home country. USCIS will need to see you birth certificate with probability of 99.9%. Unless somebody makes a mistake they need to confirm you are who you are. If you cannot get birth certificate, then you need to check if any other documents are allowed from Visa Reciprocity Table - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html/

    Blazing fast approvals 😃

    I got a feeling those agents have targets to serve X number of users per hour. They don't know much, don't have access to anything and want to spend as little time per person as they can. The phone line is similar, it is also known as "Misinformation hotline" by some.

    You need to send copies of both. If you send originals, you may never receive them back. Take them to the interview if you have it.

    Congratulations !!!

    Typically birth certificate doesn't get updated when somebody changes name. It shows your name at birth. Generating new birth certificates with new names later in life etc is typically frowned upon in many western countries, though may be perfectly legal in other parts of the world.

    There is remote possibility of this becoming an issue in the future. What's the long term plan? Are you going to have this renter in your house when your fiance comes over to the US? You know USCIS, if they don't trust the marriage, can always knock on the door and check who lives in the house? They are somewhat old school and may be surprised by arrangement.

    Very good suggestion. I still don't know if I would go this route which can be pretty expensive and long. Would only consider it if I had no sponsor for GC and was trying to revive the old GC. But I guess OP knows all the options and can decide what path works for them. Thank you for the good discussion

    I don't know if anybody ever tried to hold them accountable.

    But was it delivered in time for the deadline?

    To me the removal is initiated when NTA is issued? I guess the comfort of living in this situation for indefinite amount of time with no ability to plan life with certainty due to potential negative outcome of the whole thing depends on a person. I'd pick a clean route of new I-130 any day.
  16. OldUser
    I-90 may take a long time due to confusion and denial at the end of the 12-18 months wait?
  17. OldUser
    I'd think if there's a backlog wouldn't OP stuck in removal? And why even risk going this stressful route if a clean path to GC is available?
  18. OldUser
    You're absolutely right, I took a shortcut explaining the consequences. OP is unlikely to win such case with 20 years of absense. I'd rather get a new GC to be safe.
  19. OldUser
    While this can work short term, it can be a hassle if at N-400 officer won't allow the person to naturalize because LPR status was abandoned and GC was renewed in error.

    K-1 is not quicker than CR-1. It's longer (if you count time until getting GC) and more expensive. Any hint of unofficial wedding, especially religious can void K-1. I would strongly suggest CR-1 route or do not play with religious wedding. Either way you're going to be separated for about 2 years, whichever route you choose. But in addition to 2 years overseas, with K-1 you'll have to add another 12-18 months to get GC. She'll get GC at least a year quicker with CR-1

    Impossible to tell. Some bring tax return transcripts to the interview and get approved on same day, others not. Why didn't you submit taxes? It's pretty easy to attach and there's no downsides of front loading application.

    Passport size photos are used for many other things in immigration besides passport.
  23. OldUser
    No, passport is a separate process to naturalization. Or your lawyer is helping you with getting a passport?
  24. OldUser
    Yes, it is really necessary. CBP told them that and put a note in the system, likely. Next time, without I-131, they may be pressured to give up their green cards and rightfully so. They're likely going to be forced to give up their status by 2028 if they don't establish their lives in the US soon and don't have I-131. They may be placed in removal proceedings if they refuse to sign I-407.
  25. OldUser
    Your parents faced a very nice officer. They could have been asked to voluntarily give up their LPR status by signing I-407 on the spot or if declined, notice to appear in immigration court. The only two options are: 1. File I-131 for both of them, go to biometrics, then leave the US with receipt. Reenter within a year, meanwhile finalizing everything back home. 2. Give up LPR status for now and sponsor when they're ready to move to the US. The process may take few years given circumstances and backlogs.
