    She cannot bring what she doesn't have. But she can bring all she has. Most likely won't be needed, but may be requested.

    You cannot just print out the notice from online account to use to board the plane. The original letter is printed on watermarked protected paper. Even though some user reported success using it to board the planes, I know how strict airlines can be. I had all original documents and I still had delay getting on the plane. I also read on VJ how people with valid docs were denied boarding. Using printout is very risky, most likely won't be allowed to board the plane.

    The mail will list the documents. In general, she needs to bring all of her old passports and any ID cards issues by USCIS. Bring tax return transcipts for the past 3 or 5 years depending on what rule you're applying under. If it's 3 year rule based on marriage, you need to bring updated marital evidence.

    You don't need extension letter to leave the US. But if your GC is expired, you won't be allowed on the plane back to the US without expired GC and extension letter. If you manage to get stamp (which is only valid for a year) then you can travel with that. Also try filing Non-Delivery of notice form - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init This won't get your extension letter before the trip, but at least you'll receive it with validity of 4 years instead of asking for stamps every year.

    It's very optimistic to assume another J1 will be issued. But you can try.

    Never heard of this status. Please keep us posted.

    Good luck, you got it!

    What's step 4? No way to know whether USCIS will waive interview or not. When waived, you get a decision instead of interview notice.

    99% no it wouldn't be a problem

    You can either keep waiting or file WoM. Contacting congressman also works sometimes.

    Passport / Reentry permit / Refugee travel document expiration in less than 6 months may be a problem.

    ^^ This. Need to collect as much evidence of good faith marriage as possible. Then file for divorce in preparation for I-751 with divorce waiver filing. The time to file for divorce was yesterday...

    Not naturalizing?

    After 10 minutes it's impossible to edit post. If it's new, click on three dots and select Edit

    Only mention / give them if USCIS officer asks for it. By default just give your current GC and passport. Good luck!

    Yes, it's acceptable. I used affidavits in one of my petitions. I drafted them and the people signing them made a few corrections. My case got approved.

    So you're OK living limited life with possibility of deportation in the future? That's an uncertain future most of people are scared of.

    Well, RFE was issued nevertheless. While optional, USCIS can issue RFE to see all 3 if they doubt the sponsor is eligible.
  19. OldUser
    Yep. Don't volunteer it but take just in case. I'll take US passport over expired GC any day. I'm secretly hoping I'd get to keep my old too lol.

    You cannot cancel I-130. It belongs to petitioner. It's also approved, not sure if it's possible to withdraw it. Also, the probability of another J1 after approved I-130 is low.

    All cards issued by USCIS. This could be Advance Parole, Employment Authorization Document, Re-entry permit, Refugee Travel Document, Green Card etc. The reason why is because it's not your property. It's a property of US government. The chances are small that immigration officer will ask for all of it, but he / she has the right.
  22. OldUser
    You can, but joint accounts etc are expected when adjusting status in the US, not consular processing CR1 / IR1 visa
  23. OldUser
    If you think into the future, I-485 requires birth certificate. I-129F without Adjustment of Status is not really useful. I'm flagging this so OP can prepare for the next steps, which is easier when beneficiary in their country of origin and can request / find / translate Birth Certificate.
  24. OldUser
    Yes, I would be worried.
  25. OldUser
    The countdown to decision is a made up number. I wouldn't rely on this.
