    I know it is, but USCIS rejected some I-131 received in late March 2024 asking to pay the fee which wasn't yet in effect. And we're expecting them to honor fee schedule prior to April 2024 in August. It's all simple and straightforward to us, but simple things are like rocket science for USCIS. I'd attach a copy of I-485 receipt with I-131 and a short letter explaining how the fee does now apply for this filing.

    You'll have to persuade USCIS it should be processed free. You can try, but there's a high chance USCIS will expect fee for I-131

    Be advised that some officers may get rather annoyed with kids while others happy and excited. I wouldn't bring the kid if you can avoid. Is your I-751 approved? If not, I heard of the following possible scenario... Kid starts crying, IO asks one spouse to wait in the corridor, effectively turning it in stokes interview...

    They don't know a thing about immigration... There is no temporary GC.

    Similar to maxing out available credit on card. While technically possible, bank can decline transaction or it can negatively impact credit score for the future. Treat 6 months as credit limit. It's wise travelling for few weeks to 1-2 months max at a time. Otherwise CBP may suspect visa is used for living in the States.

    Yes, unfortunately mistakes result in additional fees and wait.

    Triple check everything before sending it. Do not rely on answers by boundless who spend 2-5 minutes per form.
  8. OldUser
    Absolutely not. They are wrong. I wouldn't use boundless.com or notarios. They can screw up your fiance's immigration and not be accountable for it. Either hire a real immigration lawyer OR study forms yourself and do it propertly. I see major red flags based on what you're describing.

    Neither. You can download Tax Return Transcripts from IRS website for free.

    Either they didn't send it or USPS lost it. Just get the stamp and request replacement for your notice using the link I shared.

    When? Was I-407 signed?
  12. OldUser
    Actually this notice is the extension letter. What happened to it? Was it delivered to wrong address? Did you move after filing I-751?

    Waivers are not easy to pull off and nobody is guaranteed to receive it.

    At that point they may be facing 3 or 10 year bar entering the US depending on how much unauthorized presence they had.

    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.
  20. OldUser
    Never heard of this status. Please keep us posted.
  21. OldUser
    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.
  23. OldUser
    99% no it wouldn't be a problem
  24. OldUser
    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.
