I'd say there is a way request it, but whether the combo will be given depends on many factors.

Overstay is forgiven if you are married to US citizen.

If you meet physical presence, continuous residence, good moral character, marital union you can apply. You can usually apply 3 years minus 90 days of being LPR.

Advice: if you have time before going overseas, see the Global Entry enrollment center. Maybe they can update something on their end so you don't have to see an agent when entering back. Sometimes, airports can have multiple GE machine types. Some will let you through without scanning GC. Those are great when you have expired GC and extension letter. Others will ask you to scan GC, which will throw error.

Yes, I entered the US with expired GC and extension letter in September 2022 and March 2023. Through the same port of entry - San Francisco International. Note that I used 24 month extension, but I don't think it matters. They look identical with difference being number of months. The experience was different on each trip. On first trip, Global Entry kiosk recognized my face and printed the ticket. I showed that ticket to agent, he saw it briefly, along with expired GC and let me through. I wasn't asked to show the extension letter. On second trip, the machines were different. They asked to scan document. When I scanned expired GC the message came up saying "GC is expired, see the agent". I saw the agent. He asked for GC, extension letter and passport. After checking them, I was allowed to go. On both trips, the letter and GC were checked by airline before departing from foreign country. I hope it helps!

I got a feeling she was leaning towards the approval and the last thing she needed was tax returns. She may just want to wrap it up quickly. But this is not a legal advice.

Yes, I think this is your best bet.

Right, and the question was

48 month extension. I expect the approval in the the matter of weeks now, just need to ensure it goes to the right mailing address...

Hi everybody, I have a question regarding I-797 Notice of Action regarding biometrics reuse. Was your notice printed on the same green paper as the extension letter NOA? Or was it printed on black and white paper? If possible, share redacted copy? Thank you very much

Technically yes, LPR is required by law to have GC in possession at all times. He may be detained by authorities until they can verify his immigration status, if he doesn't have proof with him. HOWEVER In my personal experience, I was never asked to prove my status. But I did see a message "Green Card lost, please return for reward" on a lamp post in my neighbourhood. For that reason I don't carry GC with me. The risk of losing it and having to wait 2 years for replacement is higher than getting detained. It also depends where you live. If it's close to the border, yes, better to have it with you.

It doesn't hurt icluding it. It should be printed on your certificate of naturalization. Either way USCIS will do some checks on you. If you provide it, they'll find your info quicker. If you don't, they'll search by name and DOB.

It's easy and cheap enough to get certified copies. I'd include that instead of photocopy to be sure.

Being resident for 3 years and married for 3 years. Can apply 90 days early too.

Any particular question about it? Yes, as soon as you become eligible you can apply under 3 year rule, if you meet physical presence, continuous residence, marital union and good moral character requirements.

Unless you have an extension letter and expired GC, which is better than the stamp. The letter extends the validity of card by 48 months VS stamp is 12 months.

Extension letter and GC is only needed to renew state ID / DL or travel overseas. Or if requested by auhorities to verify immigratiin status. For employment, unexpired DL or state ID and unrestricted social security card is ALL you need for I-9 verification. Don't ever show GC and extension letter to employer, there's no need.

Are you overseas?

The letter and expired GC. In this case there is a stamp in passport instead of GC. Extension letter doesn't extend I-551 (ADIT) stamps.

I see what you mean. E.g. first time they gave 48 month extension because of filing in Jan 2023. The second one is because the petition is pending. Makes sense to me, looks like it could be the case.

Hi @Adam2658 sorry to hear about your marriage that didn't work out. Evidence that you currently have is not sufficient to get I-751 approved. 0. You'll need to know when divorce is finalized. You will be asked to produce divorce decree for I-751. Whether it's submitted with initial filing or as a response to RFE doesn't matter much. Better to include with initial filing of course. 1. USCIS will want to know whether you ever lived together. Do you have a copy of the lease with both of your names on it? Do you have copies of utility bills with both names on it? 2. USCIS will want to know whether you co-mingled finances. You can request joint bank account statements, since your name is on it. Contact your bank now and get as many as possible. You can also register on IRS website and get transcripts with both of your names on them. 3. Did you share health insurance, car insurance with your spouse? Any evidence of that? 4. Do you have copies of your travel reservations? If you booked flights, can you show reservations or boarding passes with both names in them? Any hotel reservations with both names listed? 5. Did you buy any presents, order anything in Amazon showing your name in billing address and her as recepient? Did you have any memberships together, in both names? 6. You would have to get affidavits from people who knew you as a married couple - landlords, friends, acquaintances. 7. If you can, get a sworn affidavit from her stating the marriage was legitimate but didn't work out. Usually, it helps to have an immigration lawyer write this one up and ask her to sign. Expect to be asked many personal questions during your interview. Names of her parents, her birthday, how you lived together, motives for marrying and divorcing, etc etc. Good luck!

Did you move to another state or city? Did you file N-400? Any of those events can trigger this.
