Hi all the questions were answered here for similar situation: It will be complicated. But you'll have to prove first and second marriages.

I-693 is to be completed by civil surgeon. They'll tell what vaccinations are needed and give them to your parents. Many of those are only given at certain age, and your parents won't need them, even if there are no records. Only a medical professional can tell you exactly, so I wouldn't delay AOS.

@panetone I would imagine you'd have confirmation emails when you booked flights. If you used credit card to pay abroad, the statements will also have records of paying overseas. Maybe those can be of help?

What account number did you put in paper application?

You can travel at I-751 stage before biometrics, as long as you have extension letter, valid green card and valid passport. The only question is: will you be able to make it to the USA for your biometrics appointment if you're sent invitation while you're abroad? And how would you know about it? For the last question, you can check case status and monitor mail using USPS Informed Delivery service.

No, re-entry permit is obtained by filing I-131. Extension letter is obtained by filing I-90, I-751 or N-400. Extension letter and re-entry permit are different documents. Extension letters do not have your photo on them, they're letter size.

Not marriage license. Bring marriage certificate. You cannot take your husband's name until you're officially married.

Yes, just like I-751, some getting their I-90 approved very fast, while others wait for many months.

Was visa issued already or it's still in the process?

Imagine CBP looking at an extension letter that's older than him 😃

That would be the best. Alternatively, can issue 1200 months extension letters for those not planning to file N-400 any time soon.

There's 99.9% chance an attorney in the UK doesn't have a bar in US and thus cannot represent you legally. Here you can search the attorneys: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/legal_services/flh-home/flh-bar-directories-and-lawyer-finders/

You just show CBP the original 48 month letter, not a copy, along with expired GC. That's all you need. It's proof of your status. Whether their system is connected to USCIS, probably is, but doesn't really matter.

USCIS asks for birth certificate (if US born), certificate of naturalization or certicate of citizrnship when sponsoring a foreign spouse. @Alsharai your sister in law can apply for N-600 to get certificate. She'd need paperwork and evidence though.

Not for the near future, that's the whole point of 48 month extension letter. If your GC expired 1/2022, the 48 month extension extends it validity until 1/2026. You can travel without I-131 as long as you don't take 6+ month trips and if trip is at the end of 2025, you return before 01/2026.

How different? If you changed your surname when you married, you can carry marriage certificate with you to explain discrepency. If your surname is missing a letter or has an extra one on GC, you can try travelling on it at your risk. There's been anecdotal stories of it working, just know that this is not guaranteed. A detail oriented airline agent may deny you boarding the plane headed to the US. If your surname is completely different, then do not travel. You'll likely get stuck overseas.

This time there's going to be an interview, for N-400. Especially when filing under 3 year rule, my understanding is, you should expect questions about the marriage, abuse etc. Maybe somebody more experienced can contribute.

Again, the same principle applies here - don't volunteer information unless asked Jokes aside, yes only send decent photos, preferably not just selfies, but from events with friends and relatives. @Melissa1711 you may have some evidence of visitations arranged etc. I don't have experience but can imagine you have to deal with approvals from facility etc. Perhaps these could be used as evidence of bonafide relationship?

Should be no problem, but she needs to tell CBP the truth if asked whether she has relatives in the US etc.

In terms of providing everything since date of marriage VS only new stuff since I-485, there's two schools of thought. This forum has people who got approved by submitting everything, and people who submitted only updated information. It's up to you which path you choose. The only thing I can think of, if you're already paying lawyer to file, it's likely a fixed fee. You won't incur any extra charges for extra 100 pages printed, so might as well 😃 That's what I did - send lawyer all docs from start of marriage electronically and they took care of printing and assembling the packet. Was it an overkill? The time will tell, as my petition is still pending. But I feel better knowing I followed USCIS instructions to the T.

You can apply for N-400 as soon as you become eligible.

Yes, I would re-provide marriage certificate.

Good luck with the paperwork! Please DO ask the lawyer for the draft copy before they file I-751 and double check everything written there. You would be surprised, but lawyers are humans and make mistakes.

As far as immigration, you would have to disclose it in your immigration forms, when answering the questions such as "Have you ever been cited, detained or arrested" etc etc. I hope you answered those questions truthfully on DS-260. Cannot comment on company background checks.

Math doesn't work 😃 What would be N-400 cost, can you please confirm?
